Disagree with you there......don't think it is actually possible to 'bash' Castronovo....unless you have a heart of stone.

There are MANY doing it on that "other forum" right now.

HOTS somehow you equate enjoying the JSS/Journey lineup as taking something away from being a Perry fan (like you can't be both?)......I don't.....simple as that! Do you think Perry only listens to ONE vocalist?
Well I stated my feelings here, I am still sticking with Steve Perry. This question (why can't you like both?) is what WE Perry fans HEARD ALL the time from the Augeri fans. That NEVER made me change my feelings about Augeri, or jump on the band wagon of liking him just because other fans did. I just grew more tired of the question that's all.
The Journey I love BEST IS and ALWAYS will be WITH Steve Perry!!! That is how *I* FEEL! Not all Perry fans have to be in agreement about JSS.

I agree with you on Perry being the Best Journey vocalist (my fav vocalist in the last 25 years period).....and yes not everybody has to agree on JSS. Everybody has different preferences and although Augeri did nothing for me, I'm not going to knock the guy. I am not a bandwagon jumper, if I like it...I like it, if I don't....I don't, period (no critic or fan is going to change my opinion). I haven't been to a Journey concert yet with JSS and have seen a few boots/youtubes......so actually I am going more on his previous work of the dvds I have. He shares alot of Perry's qualities and that has me intrigued..........so to say you are 'sticking with Perry' as if I'm not, is just plain crazy! Perry respects his previous bandmates and likes Jeff's work enough to buy it himself.......so I'm thinking Perry is probably ok with some of us die-hard fans being a fan of JSS's too.

I take no issue with you or others here that like both Perry & JSS that is ok , but I do have the right to feel the way I do about Perry being the ONLY one to sing those songs for me...I don't have a desire to hear anyone else sing those GREAT Journey songs because I LOVE THE WAY Perry SINGS all those songs.
Red13JoePa wrote:It's simple, really.
He doesn't sound enough like Perry on a song in and song out basis to be percieved as a threat or ripoff to the loons
Believe me, if he did he'd be cast in the same die as Augeri was by the heads.
And if God forbid, they made Castronovo the full-time lead singer, I think the bashing would've been worse than any Augeri ever went through for succeeding Perry.

Hey Lori, I totally respect ur right to love the way Perry sings those songs. I just wish u would open ur mind up a little bit & at least listen once to Jeff singing some of them. I'd also love if u listened to some of Jeff's other work & just checked it out. U may still not like it, but at least then, u could give a balanced opinion. I don't want to tell u what to do. I just think ur missing out by not hearing something else. If u want to give it a try, let me know. I can hook u up w/some samples.
Red13JoePa wrote:Sorry, but there are many an undiscriminating ear who've attended the shows year in and year out (or else they would've be touring year in and year out) who thought Augeri sounded like Perry.
We here all know of the differences (I also think some of it may be elitist posturing), but to the lay journey fans it didn't make that much of a difference.
And that led to resentment among Perryonlys.

That's kinda what I was trying to say, JRox just always seems to know how to word these things better.![]()
Just saying....give it a fair chance. Don't just listen/see a quick youtube of JSS earlier on in this tour and write it off. The more I see of his previous work and more recent tour clips, the more I actually see what he's got to bring. Like JRox said, research a little or if you have already..........and still don't like it, then fair enough. BTW, I LOVE THE WAY PERRY SINGS THOSE SONGS THE BEST TOO......and that will never change.
PROPERRY wrote:Look,I have already heard some of JSS solo music & STATED that I thought He had a stronger voice than Augeri (posted on the board a long while back). I've also listened to Soul Sirkus solo music, I thought the lyrics to some of those songs were negative, & not my style of music, so there you have it. I really only liked one of his solo songs called "Is This The End.
