Singers that CAN still cut it

[heardonthestreet]

The musicians who have done anything in music these past few years with Steve Perry, have said that he is just as wonderful as ever. I'll take their word on it as they have first hand knowledge. He is probably even better than ever with a rich, more mellow quality to his soulful voice. I'm a believer.

[Rockindeano]

Deano, I don't have to prove anything at all about Perry's singing abilitites, Perry has already SHOWN his voice to the fans countless times throughout the years! He doesn't have to keep proving anything to me, in order for me to know he CAN still sing, and SING GREAT too!!!

The title of this thread is, "Singers who can STILL sing." Steve simply cannot.

Kind of true. Linus brings up a record from 1996 as backup? Fell asleep for too long in the pumpkin patch, it is 2007.

Here they come, exiting out of the Perry cave, an isolated few, who are simply out of touch with reality. Hell, I am home today, why not a good Thursday full of asskicking the loons? Get em all in here, Sherrie, HOTS, PP, PF, all of them.


HOTS, name me ONE mucisian within the last 2 years who say Perry "still has it." One. And don't give me David fuckin Pack. He is a tool.

I'm sure Perry can still sing....but in much lower keys, and nothing like before. But I'm pretty sure the guy could still hold a tune. But since the title of this thread is STILL cut it, I would not include him here. He can't.

We could include Perry here is the thread title was "Singers who could maybe still hold a tune, but nobody really knows".

Well said. Dude can sing good enough for me, but to him, he obviously cannot, or he would. It sucks that he feels he can't produce at the highest level, but that's ok..to me, he is the greatest ever, up there with Elvis.

Perry at 50% is better than most at 100%.

Deano, you got NO facts to back it up!

[Red13JoePa]

Yea, Deano.

Drum up a FACT, like an 11-year-old album and some recent diaphragmnal emissions in BF vox proves Perry STILL has it.

So true Hots! I'm in agreement with you.

Why would anyone take the word of a poster on a message board OR other posters OPINIONS who really don't even know Perry personally, and certainly have NEVER worked with him either???

That's right NiG, I've never met Perry in person, and I'm not a musician, so NO, I've not had that wonderful experience of being able to work with him, but I'm not the one throwing something out there with NO proof to back it up though like some of you do.

However, I HAVE read the articles from other musicans that have ACTUALLY worked with him, and stated their PROFESSIONAL views of Perry's singing abilities, they had VERY positive things to say about Perry's singing abilities, I just believe them to be alot more credible than you or Deano!

[ArnelRox]

Why do some folks here have to argue so vehemently that Perry can't sing anymore? What's it to u? What does it really matter?

There is a difference between choosing not to sing & not being able to sing. He obviously can still sing. They can only do so much magic in the studio. Whether it's good enough for him to want to record or whether he just likes his life w/out record deals & albums, who knows. He says he's happy w/his life & keeps thinking about singing again. There's really nothing else we know for sure.

I don't claim to know whether or not he can sing outside of a studio. I am just letting those of you who say he can sing know that studio BG vox is not proof.

Robin Zander from Cheap Trick

He's always been solid.

It's also not proof that he can't sing tho is it Niggy?

I don't say that he can't sing. Like Neal said, if Perry wanted to sing, he would be singing. Either he doesn't want to or can't. What difference does it make. If he can sing well and chooses not to, that is the biggest shame.

The onus is on YOU and TWATS to prove he can still sing. The FACT is he HAS NOT sang for 11 years.

Yes it is proof he can't sing.

Neal invited him out for the 30th Tour to sing, knowing full well he wouldn't because he couldn't.

Some of you are beyond mind numbing dumb fucks.

Tony Harnell, ex-TNT
Sebastian Bach

Excellent calls. Sebastian is only 37, though, and Tony is 42.

I'd add Harry Hess, Mike Reno, Kelly Keagy, Tony Lewis (the Outfield), Mike Tramp, Tommy Shaw, Bryan Adams, Timi Kotipelto (Stratovarius), and Don Henley to the list.

Rundgren is NOT the Cars' singer. That pile of crap was NOT the Cars...what a joke.

I TOTALLY agree with the posters who listed RJ Dio (still lights-out), Tate, and DeYoung.

P.S. NIG, I am a Reno Loon...the guy flat-out rocks...
Pretty funny side story...you know Mike is pushing 300 pounds these days...when I saw him in May, he was flirting with a couple of 40-somethings in the front row, and he intimated he could hook them up with backstage passes. I thought to myself, "perhaps Mike doesn't realize that doesn't have the allure it may have in the 80's when he was half his current weight and mass". Still, the dude doesn't sound ANY different than he did in the early 80's. He may not work out, but he keeps his voice in fantastic shape - warmups and scales every day, never smoked, stopped drinking...

[NealIsGod]

Rundgren is NOT the Cars' singer. That pile of crap was NOT the Cars...what a joke.

VEHEMENTLY disagree. That live album is awesome! Rundgren does a great job, and their music suits his voice well.

But you are right, it is not the Cars. It is the New Cars.

I'm not a loon. I'm a Perryonly and you have to make allowances for them,

I don't have time to go looking up interviews for you. You'll have to take my word for it and you know that my word is good. Would I lie to you?

Have it from a great source that he, on another level, is better than ever.

[ArnelRox]

I don't say that he can't sing. Like Neal said, if Perry wanted to sing, he would be singing. Either he doesn't want to or can't. What difference does it make.

That's pretty much what I said. But the argument continues here.

If he can sing well and chooses not to, that is the biggest shame.

Maybe not for him. Have u ever been on tour? Have u ever gone thru that kind of gruelling stuff? If not, then u don't know what it takes.

[NealIsGod]

Whoop-de-do. If he doesn't sing, who gives a fuck?

[Rockindeano]

I had the person who played closest to SP in his entire career, tell me to my face, that he cannot do it anylonger.

[ArnelRox]

Yes it is proof he can't sing.

Neal invited him out for the 30th Tour to sing, knowing full well he wouldn't because he couldn't.

Some of you are beyond mind numbing dumb fucks.

No it isn't proof. Just b/c he didn't want to sing w/asshole Neal & his gang means absolutely NOTHING.

We're mind numbing? Shit what about u arguing this crap over & over. Kiss Neal's ass some more would u?

[NealIsGod]

He seems to like being in studios lately. Record a fucking album already.

[ArnelRox]

I have it on the biggest possible source, a person who played closest to SP in his entire career, who told me directly to my face, that he cannot do it anylonger.

We know. Neal Schon. Problem is they haven't done SHIT together in 11 years have they?

Well I have it from a HUGE source who has written music w/Perry in the last year that he CAN still sing. So there.

[ArnelRox]

That involves touring.

NO, it is on YOU to prove , since you are ONE of the ones, who say so adamently that he can't sing. I already listed the artists he has worked with on this thread, but I'll name one of them AGAIN for you, since you proven again that your not that knowledgeable after all... The Band Guff.

By the way singing is singing, whether he sings lead or back up, it makes no difference, HE IS still singing!
