Steve Perry writing music

[Deb]

Yep, gave a terrific performance on that boot.

You think you caught me flip/flopping or something?

Flip/flopping nah.....but anybody that likes ROR has to have a "tiny" bit of loon in them.

Defensive?
I GUESS I'm gulity if as you suggest the charge of defensive about being thrown into the "loon"y bin with the rest of you fine folk is,merely appreciating a bootleg live performance and a record which I credit the other band memebers as much as I do perry for being great.
If that, along with stating his vast online overratedness is guilty of being a loon than so be it.

It's ok Red, like I said just a "tiny" bit of loon. Don't worry, even if found guilty.......you'll still be a big, strong, strapping he-man.

[Red13JoePa]

OK

Still overrated.

[*Laura]

a news service resurrected a 16-year-old legend of a recording session.

Why do you keep saying that?There's nothing "resurrected" in this article,it's a report about Bettencourt working with a musician who happens to be Perry.
The 16 year old legend you're talking about wasn't even mentioned in the text.

If they really wrote something together recently,well,that's another story.We'll sure hear about it,maybe even via Drew.

[Red13JoePa]

I just wonder why he would reteam with bettancourt again NOW, after an alleged collaboration from "the early 90s" yielded as much released material as Abitaman's put out.

Ergo my feeling that it's the same rumor from then dredged up again.

BTW, even in the unlikely even I'm wrong will I really be wrong? Because if it happened/happens nothing will come out of it again.

It is real good to hear this news about Perry & Bettencourt writing together!

Don't eat it all at once - make sure you save some of this crumb for later.

No harassment from me, Lori. Glad you got a morsel of news about something that may or may not result in music that Steve Perry may or may not actually sing.

NealIsGod, I'd recommend you hold off on complying with this order until like demands and rules be applied to the very subject of this thread.

Ah!The Bad Boys always walking around with their guns ready to fire! Poor Steve Perry,if he'd only knew how many bullets he has with his name written on them...LOL

Come on guys...This is just an information we got via Mr.Nuno Bettencourt.From the horse's mouth,that is.

Lighten up.

13 and I just like to point out that we've all heard this song before, and it's our least favorite Perry tune.

[SusieP]

And Perry is being hit from all sides.....
in this month's UK Classic Rock dated July 2007, there's an interview with Aynsley Dunbar.
There is a paragraph about every band he's played with. And in the Journey section he says, "I left Journey because I just didn't like Steve Perry coming in and telling everybody how to play."

[Red13JoePa]

Aynsley Dunbar
says, "I left Journey because I just didn't like Steve Perry coming in and telling everybody how to play."

Had to be irritating.

To be fair, though, according to DoubleH they also had to tell Dunbar WHO to play with, or more specifically who NOT to "Play" with.

"Too Late"?

Dunbar got sacked didn't he?

Perhaps that should've read:

"....telling everybody how to play for a singer".

There's a difference.

Mr. Dunbar probably got pissed off because he couldn't play loud anymore....it'd drown out the singer.

I have to tell Mark to dial it down all the time....he's freakin' LOUD

[NealIsGod]

I have to tell Mark to dial it down all the time....he's freakin' LOUD

Espee would be proud.

That's interesting.Ansley was a Jazz/Progressive oriented drummer,while Perry's roots were Motown/Rock,so maybe they didn't connect like they should have...It's no news that SP was somewhat in control as he was co-writing the songs.Perhaps that's what bothered AD.

[Red13JoePa]

Neal: "The guy was an octopus. He was playing way too much for the simplicity of the songs. He used to warm up for his solos during our set."

For the record I love Dunbar's heavy thumping on WITS, Anytime/FTW.

Sure Shania - but Dunbar was in a commercial rock band at the time and he's been a jobbing hard rock drummer ever since so I don't quite get why he was being so precious about being told to keep it reasonably simple....

[Red13JoePa]

Love this.

Well, if Mr. Dunbar is used to playing all that early Journey Fusion stuff, with NO vocals, he can bang away as loud as he wants.

You add a Singer; everyone's dynamics have to change.

That's all I was trying to say.

[Red13JoePa]

I plead innocence b/c Nora I dunno what I'm even talking about when I get into band dynamics but I get a boot out of the huge smattering of pompous perry elitism that it sounds like it comes with it when ever the "play for/to a singer" one's rolled out about journey.

Ego?

Another guess (semi - fiction):Dunbar was very interested to impress those "pampers on platforms" so maybe he felt like showing some muscle... Hard to keep it simple.

Ok,not true.LOL

[Red13JoePa]

By the way, how horrendous would a nuno bettancourt/perry collaboration sound?


hooo boy.

[*Laura]

Just as "horrendous" as a Schon/Soto one.

Awsome guitar player + Awesome singer.Both cases.


Woot!

'Salright.

Well, I hate it too.........it smacks of "Diva" to me....and unfortunately, Perry's name is attached to it, in this case.

BUT, it's true.....(from a "decibal / dynamic" point of view.)

[Red13JoePa]

The guy who's last 2 songs on the radio were I Stand Alone and Donna Please set to the guitar that played Warheads, Get The Funk Out, and a spare, sweet lil' ballad called There Is No God.

The mind boggles.

Let me know how it is when it's recorded and released.

Or, more probably let my kids know so they can divine it to me in a seance.

That'll save me the torture of hearing it.

[*Laura]

...and More Than Words.And Hole Hearted.

Usually these menacing hard rocking guitarists have a really surprising soft side.Nuno sure has it.Neal too.All of 'em.


The Perry/Bettencourt thing might happen also because they click on a heritage level too.
But I begin to digress.


When and if it happens,I'll listen.
