Perry & Schon: Inseparable?

[Voyager]

After the intro starts, it plays Separate Ways.... but the vocal is Steve Perry's. Then it plays Lights... with Steve Perry singing:

I'd say Neal and Steve are not going Separate Ways... rather, they are inseparable.

Well, considering that the website hasn't been updated since 2006, there's a good fighting chance that they had no clue who Arnel was then. Just a guess, though.

I agree with you there, that's the first thing I thought. Then the second thing I thought was.... If he is so excited about Arnel and what he is bringing to the band, I would think he would update the website to include the re-records and promote the current Journey Lineup instead of living in the Perry past, after all, they aren't a downer, they are an upper!

Neal knows damn well that he will NEVER again find the magic he had with Perry....NEVER. And to be fair, neither will Perry and he knows it too.

Maybe, its because he's busy touring and recording new music, instead of just talking about it.

ok, fair enough, so then where is TDTWT and AATY in the music lineup. I would think he would be into marketing that instead of Perry singing Separate Ways. After all, marketing is where Journey has ALWAYS made their big bucks.

Perry could release 5 albums a year and he wouldn't find the same kind of success that he would see if he released 1 album with Journey ever 5 years.

He had the re-records on there for quite a while and new music with Arnel. I've gone on his site, so have heard Arnel quite a bit. But he changes it up as far as the music playing on his site. If he didn't, he would be accused of ignoring his legacy with Perry as if it didn't exist. Neal can't win with some, no matter what he does. Same old story.

He could have his wife do it!!

[Voyager]

Check back in a week and Neal's site will probably be updated with Arnel versions of the same songs. I hope not though. You've got to hold onto some of the legacy. Don't go the Eddie Van Halen route and replace Perry's pictures on the album covers with Arnel's just yet.

[Saint John]

Yep....why would he put new stuff there???? Stick to the best combo....Perry and Schon.....ahhhh Fuck Him...but I will use his voice on my web site

Neal is using music from his band. You fuckers bitch if he does and bitch if he doesn't. He has never given Steve Perry anything but the highest praises vocally speaking. The "So fuck him!" comment was in regards to the guy being an atrocious bandmate post 1983 and intentional lineup destroyer.

That's what Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony tried to say and look where it got them with the VH sisters.

It really isn't about Neal not finding magic without Perry and Perry not finding the magic without Schon. It's about a moment in time, that is LONG GONE! Perry and Schon could become best friends tomorrow, and it's not going to re-create what was 30 long years ago!

I'm not sure what exactly your scoreboard represents, but quantity means nothing if the quality is shit.

Journey 1998 - present: Red 13

SUCKED!

Arrival

Outstanding album that I thought was SUPERB!

Generations

A complete fucking abortion of an album with three guys singing who couldn't win a fucking Karaoke contest against a tavern full of hammered drunks! The production quality was AWFUL. It sounded like it was recorded in someone's basement with awful acoustics. One reasonable track, and the rest of it didn't deserve to have the name "Journey" ANYWHERE near it! Neal should be ashamed of himself for putting out something so shitty!

Revelation

A couple of decent tracks on "Revelation", but still doesn't come close to touching ANYTHING in the Perry era. Also, re-recording the Perry tracks was as idiotic of a move as I've ever seen Neal make (and he's made endless moronic moves)! Regardless of what "Journey" has done or will do without Perry, it will NEVER change the fact that there wouldn't be 8 people outside of San Francisco who ever heard of them without Perry's voice! Their legacy was built on the soaring vocals of Steve Perry, and they can keep running in a "new" lead singer, every two years, and that will still never change!

I don't care what he plays but I would think it only natural for him to highlight his solo stuff as his Journey material is already on the band's site.

Hey I just post what I think as you do.......and the fuck him comment after the end of a interview where Steve Perry had nothing but kind words for his bandmates was IMO low class and made me not want to run out an purchase anything that the new line up put out there....even though I eventually did. Neal's actions just give me more reason to give Perry a pass on whay a atrocious bandmate (your words) he was....as for the intentional lineup destroyer I don't agree....but we all have our own ideas or what happened and why.

So yes I do bitch about it.......but I am not a fucker thank you very much

Jana do you need a tissue......here I will get you one As far as ignoring his legacy with Perry the rerecords seemed to have been the nail in his coffin on that one.....I for one will not let it go! I don't care who wanted them those songs where already in peoples minds for 20 years and as I don't get a do over.....neither does Neal. My friend we will agree to disagree on this one.

Oh, so Steve Perry's still head and shoulders better than Journey, even though he releases NOTHING besides his annual 'Happy birthday to me!' comment on FanAsylum.

I'll take a mediocre Journey album over a non-existant Perry album.

You don't think any tracks off Revelation like 'After All These Years' or 'Where Did I Lose Your Love' is comparable to ANYTHING from the Perry era? You really don't think those songs are better than 'Baby I'm Leavin' You' from TBF? How about, 'Back Talk'? You act like Perry was invincible. They released their fair share of mediocre tracks with Perry. Otherwise, every single song they released with him would've been a huge hit.

You have to go all the way back to 1983 to hear anything as good as Revelation from Journey.

Raised On Radio is my favorite album, but Revelation is clearly better. It's better than Trial By Fire, too.

[Vladan]

Raised On Radio is my favorite album, but Revelation is clearly better. It's better than Trial By Fire, too.

The buck stops here! ROR is brilliant, the vocals, the melodic music, hooks, lyrics, sound, and yeah it's my favorite Journey album, however it smokes ANYTHING Journey have done since Perry's departure, so does TBF, it's still journey's best produced album to date, and probably always will be.

The fact of the matter, weather it was Pineda, Augeri, Soto, Chalfant, Kelty, Hunsicker (bless his awesomeness), it doesn't matter who they got... you would be saying the same things, Revelation is better. Arnel is not better or worse than the next Journey frontman really. It's on record that Neal and Jon just wanted somebody, ANYBODY to sing lead for them after dismissing Augeri and Soto, and will Arnel be the last? you would think so because he's such a nice guy, and the band like him right (it seems he's made them all better people) but didn't they treat Augeri and Soto as their brother as well, before giving them the boot up the backside for their troubles because they didn't sound like Steve Perry (the legacy vocals). IMO Arnel is awesome, and if Journey were to replace him, again it would be their loss! not because of his talents, but because his genuine personality and spirit.

Revelation, Arrival, both good, but... comparing them to anything with Perry is just plain ridicules, it really is.
