I didnt do this one. It was posted on WTF by doka,,, thought people here might like to read it too.

Wow, very short notice! :shock:

How much time did you get to prepare?

"I got a day's notice. I met them in D.C. on a day off, met them at the lobby to say hello. We got on the bus with a setlist to discuss how some songs go into others or are extended from the studio versions. We basically got a 10-minute sound check and an hour later, I was onstage in front of 20,000 people!"

Have you heard Arnel Pineda's vocal work with the band yet?

"Of course I paid attention to their next move, how could I not? It's like looking to see who your ex is dating next after she dumps you. I love his voice -- it's organic, natural and sounds like he does it with ease most of the time.''

"My opinion about him being a Perry clone is a bit different than others'. He emulates the songs very well, but there's a sense of the 'feeling' that is missing for me, which is a good thing because it helps him retain his own identity. Perry had this very soulful swagger to his singing that is something more felt than emulated."

"Perry is a master, often imitated, never duplicated. I don't want this to sound negative in ANY way, Arnel is an AMAZING singer and I give him much respect for his position now!"

PERFECT!!! :wink:

And did you catch this MG? :lol:

Did Steve Perry influence you as a singer when you were getting started?

"It was more than words can describe to do all these songs I had done in previous high school bands or simply singing in the car for so many years. Perry helped shape much of my early years as a singer mainly because we were both influenced by so many of the same singers: Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, the whole Motown thing."

You may not know this, cause you havent been sent to vacation,,,YET,,,, but from what I hear, when youre on vacation, you still have full access to the board as far as reading goes. You just cant post anything. It would be much easier on one, if one didnt even have access to the forum, cause its not easy to read and not being able to reply, Ive heard..... :lol:

That would necessitate a change in forum software. ANYONE with the internet can READ this board. You don't have to be a member. My guess is a great many people do just that.
