But I've seen one too many posts about the guys character and personality being so great..and somehow making a direct link to his performances. Also note, loons do this with JSS, Perry, AP, etc. I don' t care if such and such is a great person..good for them. They either have it or they don't. I never thought JSS had it at least when it came to Journey..but that has nothing to do with what a wonderful person he is.

I'm glad the show was great and I'm happy to have SA signing again. I hope his new release sells a ton.


That is very subjective though. "You" may not think he has "it".....but if SA's voice touches somebody, then "they" do. Yes, I think Perry and JSS had "it" vocally, in or out of Journey......and it doesn't bother me in the least to see praise for Augueri. I just don't understand the negativity sometimes. :?


Good point. It very well may be subjective. Just like someone saying they aren't a SA fan or maybe doesn't like some of his work, doesn't mean that they are being 'negative'. That is the mistake I think people make. You can just not like someone's singing or whatever, and voice that opinion. That doesn't mean you are being negative towards them or tearing them down as a person.


True, you don't have to like SA or JSS for that matter, and I don't think you are being negative if they vocally don't do it for ya. It was more the "over compensating" and "fanatical" comments towards SA's fans. I'll never understand why some people's gaunch bunch up.......when they see others appreciating a talent. :? Ya don't have to agree with it, but it doesn't make them fanatical to voice their appreciation. :lol:


Deb you always have an eloquant way of stating things!! I always appreciate your posts.

*thats* what I was refering to....thanks for conveying your memory of his comments regarding this song. I certainly didn't do it justice....

I remember liking this song immediately upon hearing it (says a lot coming from a perryloon) and always considered this my favorite SA-sung Journey ballad. Never knew the origin or that he was the main songwriter here.

Remember, a negative opinion is an opinion as well....and people are entitled to it. I've been negative in the past, too. Got me kicked off jackass talk.

That being said....People: Take off the rose-coloreds! This board and the people who post here are the bomb-diggity! Yeah Boyeeeee!

Tyketto was a far better band than Tall Stories, in my opinion.

Just had this on in the car yesterday. Yes it is brilliant. Still really like the album too. There's some rocking stuff on Generations.

Seconded. Very talented guys, catchy songwriters. About as country as The Eagles, which is not really all that much in the true sense of the genre.

I was at Firefest, and went solely to see Augeri again. I would not have gone had Steve NOT been playing there.

My verdict...
Firstly, Tall Stories were always a very average band (imo), and they still are. I heard nothing to excite me all those yrs ago with the debut, then the 5 demos, and yesterday was still the same. The songs are just not exciting enough.
Steve Augeri sounded ok, and thats about it, he was ok. Nothing spectacular, and (imo) the audience were nowhere near as loud during or at the end of Tall Stories performance than they had been for the previous bands, and bands that followed. There were far superior performances (vocally, and bandwise) throughout the day. Good to see him on the stage again though.


I think part of it is objectivity versus just rooting for a guy. When I see people post about SA, it's almost like they have to go overboard to illustrate the fact that the guy is doing well. Maybe because he was so beaten up in the past, but it's like people are trying to will him to be this extraordinary singer. Sort of like if you say it enough times, it makes it true?

Ultimately he has his fans, and they will sing his praises until they drop dead..and good for them, I guess. What I am tired of is the whole 'he is such an amazing person"..therefore that makes him an amazing singer? Sorry, I've never bought into that, and I never will.


On the contrary, why is it that certain people go out of their way to be negative specifically about Augeri, and implying that anybody who thinks he did well is either lying or deluded?


Marty

Edit: Hmm... this post wasn't intended to be as argumentative is it reads, looking back at it. It's been a very long weekend, followed by a long drive home last night, and a long day at work today. I need sleep! :D


Not only do you ROCK, Marty... you admitted you are home... now where are the pictures??!!??!! :lol:

Er... I'm working on 'em :D. I took around 4,000 photos over the weekend - 16 bands - including nearly 600 pics just of SA. It's taking me a while to sort out the usable shots from the throwaways, and then I have to start editing. If I end up with 100 or so from each band, that's still over 1,500 photos to load into into Photoshop (or Lightroom) to tweak one by one and make look their best.

It's probably going to take me most of this week and the weekend to get them all done. Then I'll get them online.

Ironically, the SA photos are probably going to need the most work. The lighting was much lower than for most of the other bands so the pics aren't as bright. They're not bad, just less well exposed than I would have liked.

Just for you, though, I'll do these first and try to get them online in the next couple of days :D
