The Word is Getting Out!

Postby mistiejourney » Tue Jul 08, 2008 1:54 pm

Thought I'd relate what happened at work two nights ago.

I mentioned to a patient I had been to Puerto Rico. One of the Medics heard me and asked why I went. Told him it was a Steve Perry concert.

He says, "How is Steve sounding these days?" I told him that he was doing some back up singing, lower register now, maybe working on some new stuff and we talked about Journey "back in the day".

Then he said, "Have you heard the new guy? He is phenomenal!" So I filled him in on Arnel, how he was noticed, that Revelation was supposed to be really good (still waiting for my copy in the mail) and that Journey would be doing local venues at the end of September but had sold out almost immediately.

This guy actually knew Journey music pre-Perry but had sort of drifted away after TBF.

Pretty cool conversation! So Arnel is getting noticed by the general public and not just us die-hards and I was proud of myself that I didn't talk smack about Journey or anything negative.

I did happen to mention he should be on the lookout for a singer named Jeff Scott Soto, though! :D

Now where the hell is my copy of Revelation? I could have driven to WalMart and had it in 30 minutes. :?

He's not doing any live shows. Hasn't since 1994, I believe. The possibility of a lullaby laden CD to be released late this year or early next year exists, but I wouldn't expect any live performances. Per himself, he doesn't sound like himself anymore...or only on occasion.

GQ interview...

"I started writing music again, at the beginning of last summer. I had not opened that up in over ten years. I was reluctant to try to write some more, but now I’ve been doing that, and it’s been a real experience. I got ProTools, and I’m working on stuff. I’m not sure what I’m gonna do with it yet, but I got a lot of material, and a lot of it I really like. I’m in the boil-down process. I got these ProTools sketches of songs, and I guess it’s time to record some of ‘em. I guess I have a desire to sing and write music again, and I’m letting it take me places. It’s been painful. Sometimes, when I hear myself sing, I sound like Steve Perry, and sometimes that has a lot of memories attached to it. I’m serious. I just told somebody that, a couple weeks ago, a writer that I’m working with—my own voice is sometimes difficult to hear. Because it reminds me of so much. But I’m embracing it. And I’ve played some of the stuff for friends, and for some people that aren’t afraid to tell me the truth. And they’ve really liked it. It sounds like me, they’ve said. And that’s great. It’s been a love-hate thing. All creative processes are a love-hate thing. Anything worth anything has got to be that way. Right? "

I wasnt' going to buy it, but I thought it was the last thing I could do to really give Arnel a chance. Besides, the new stuff is supposed to be great - it actually came in the mail yesterday. Plan to listen to it today.

Oh, that is what you meant! Sorry about that - I saw him in 1995 on a fan club tour package.

Now I see where you got that idea - I should have been clearer about the date! :)
