It's Official - Journey Wants a Perry Soundalike

[Shadowsong]

Hi, I'm a new poster but have been here a long time. I just came across this article and Cain's comments:

"We just wanted to move in a different direction sonically. We're interested in our legacy right now. We want to sound like our records and we want to sound like the 65 million units that are out there."

CROCK OF SHIT
Move up Frig & Frrack!

No one wants to hear someone imitating Steve Perry!
Thats what we have remasters for!!!!

Give us something novel
Give us something original
Give us something worthy of Journey & our $$$$$!!!!!

Hugo's voice is too weak and too often off-key and he's too freaky with the SP doppelganger crap. Good singer for what he does but not even close to Jeremey.

[Pelata]

The only way it would "sound like our records" is if Steve Perry came back into the fold

...and if Perry could still sing like that...

You're crazy...Hugo's voice is unbeleivable.
Besides his own albums have amazing vocal performances...
His Journey tribute band is the sickest thing out there...you really feel like you are watching old Journey

Good voice but not unbelievable. Terrible compared to Perry, Soto, or Jeremey from Frontiers.

The dude is just "too-creepy-alike" to Perry...
Besides, your last statement says it all...

Alot of us don't want to just sit idly
by and watch "the old Journey".
Been there, done that, got the DVDs.

We wanted a fresh start in a fresh direction
with a fresh new voice...
Instead we got shit on and, for those of you
that will still care to follow, will be given
the chance to see the Ultimate Steve Perry Tribute Band
in rinky-dink pub or State Fair near you!

Cant hold a candle to Jeremeys power, and precision!!

You know, I know this isn't possible...I think I'm firmly planted in the Perry or bust camp. They've fucked with this thing too much and too long to march out a tribute singer...No offense to Jeremey or anyone else they parade out front.


They really need to simply do a very quick farewell tour with Perry....repair the fucking fractured legacy and seal it up and bury it...never to return. Anything else appears to be a cheap attempt at ass fucking fans that have spent way too much money on a band that doesn't give 2-3 shits about them.

What??!!

He says: "Soto came in," said Cain. "We were grateful for his energy and his time and his talent. We had a good 11 months with him."

But, don't bother calling HIM (JSS) up & letting HIM know??

That's what bothers me the most. At least give the guy a courtesy call, for crying out loud. I'm sure they even afforded Augeri that luxury but JSS was supposed to be a bud of Neal's. Here's how I figure the conversation went...

Azoff: Guys, this whole thing with DSB being on "The Sopranos" is your ticket back to the big time, except you'll have to dump Soto and get someone else who won't steal your thunder too much.

Neal: Yeah, man. Jeff took too many eyes away from my awesome guitar playing and botox-enhanced face on this last tour. Who's going to call the chump and break the news?

Jon: Ummmm....Not me. I can't fake that crying crap anymore. I'm still spent from that "Behind the Music" episode a few years back.

Neal: I say we just crop him out of the photos on our dogpile of a web site and notify him via morse code.

Azoff & Jon: That's the ticket!

Who is this funny, rational guy and what did he do with Dave?

[Pelata]

...you really feel like you are watching old Journey

[strangegrey]

watching yes....but not listening.

Hugo's delivery in the upper registers (falsetto) is off base....it sounds too thin

I've always been funny and rational...Well, I guess it's according to what subject we're discussing, huh?

I was beginning to think no one had seen that post.

agreed, that and trying to resemble Perry. Creepy.

[Socratic Methodist]

Peeps....I think I could tell you a few things about Mr. Dave here.....

[ohsherrie]

...you really feel like you are watching old Journey

Like somebody said, too much like a Las Vegas impersonator.

[ohsherrie]

Peeps....I think I could tell you a few things about Mr. Dave here.....

I'm all ears, or in this case eyes.

Why? Friend of his? Hope your not a back stabber like Neal.

He couldn't tell you anything more interesting than what you already know. We were members and bumped heads over at The Cooler a few times in the past, probably over the same issues that you and I have argued over.

Oh OK, I took his post as a joke by the way, not a threat to you. Too bad he wasn't around in a few of those threads where we were kickin each other around.

[Socratic Methodist]

Hey Cp....perhaps you could answer a ? for me? I've tried to post a pic in my sig, I surrounded it with the usual bullshite.....but it won't work.....

Am I doing it wrong?
