Was this a swipe at Perry, or a compliment?

It's a swipe - Neal still has a huge grudge towards Steve Perry.

My point is, they aren't the fucking Beatles, so why do some of you fight to the death in this shit for?

This all coming from the guy that claims "Tapegate is my legacy." :lol:

And nice try at trying to defend Perry's ridiculous decision to take a rock band into some bastardized R&B pop direction. Again, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi made rock albums that easily surpassed the 10 million sales mark, while Journey toured playing syrupy pop songs with a lead singer who looked like Nancy McKeon from The Facts Of Life.

Tapegate IS my legacy. I will never let that golden goose egg free from my arms! :P

Dude, stop with the Bon Jovi and Lippard rocked and Journey didn't. Journey had stopped becoming a real rock band as soon as Friga joined and as soon as Open Arms was cut.....that was the end of their "rock" sound, and that's ok too. Journey was a pop/rock act, not a real rock n roll band. People weren't digging Edge of the Blade, or Dead or Alive or even old shit from the classic three albums in the late 70's....they had definitley moved to a new direction, a dangerous place to be if you are Journey. They had arrived into pure POP music genre, and thus had to compete with Michael Jackson, Prince and a ton of chick bands. Sure the hard cores knew the rockier sounding songs, but the pop heavy ballads dominated Journey's identity. People laughed at them as a rock band. They weren't taken seriously as a rock band. That is not a slam on them, but they couldn't rock alongside Lippard and Jovi then or now. Those bands just had a residence in hard rock, and Journey was living on a fluffy cloud. Perry was right to try to change the direction of Journey. They weren't going to compete for the rock dollar against Jovi, Lippard, Guns and Roses and Aerosmith. Their bread was buttered with the female fan mostly, and what kinds of songs did ROR produce as hits? Chick songs mainly. GCHI, Suzanne, IBAWY and WCTNGOF are all syrupy. BGTY was the only real rock song on that record. Besides, if you disagree that it was solely Perry who instituted the change of direction, why didn't Neal protest any of the soft songs and put one or two of HIS own written songs on there? Why didn't Jon Cain say no to the countless piano pussified tunes on there? They listened to fans in 92 with Arrival and added more rock songs. Why didn't they do so in 86? Because Schon and Cain were unable to lead the band, couldn't or wouldn't, you decide. Perry is an unquestionable leader, like him or not, and dude did what he thought was the right thing for Journey at that time. Think I am wrong? Fast Forward to TBF, another album that doesn't really "rock." They knew then that they were no longer a real "rock" band anylonger.

You keep working on that Eastern influence album that no one is going to buy, Midge. You go tour South America where no one knows who the Hell you are. Loser. Remember, they don't have little theaters over there like they do here. You will probably be playing run down soccer fields and fruit markets. Enjoy.
+1000 Neal is a complete douche bag and always will be. And he wonders why Perry is more popular. The little green monster strikes again.

Stone In Love, Separate Ways, Ask The Lonely and even Only The Young were great rock songs, on par with anything from Leppard or BJ.



Rockindeano wrote: and as soon as Open Arms was cut.....that was the end of their "rock" sound, and that's ok too.


Bon Jovie and Leppard had songs like Love Bites, Hysteria, Never Say Goodbye and I'd Die For You off of the very same albums from that time, proving that the "formula" of rockers to ballads that Perry broke was a terrible idea.



Rockindeano wrote: Journey was a pop/rock act, not a real rock n roll band.


This is just not true. There was not a better act live from 1980-1984. You don't consider the Live In Houston DVD a great rock n roll show?



Rockindeano wrote: People laughed at them as a rock band. They weren't taken seriously as a rock band.


Tour receipts say you're wrong. Their concerts were that first perfect mix of uptempo rockers, midtempo numbers and ballads. They perfected that very same formula that Leppard and Jovi adopted. Until, of course, someone changed it.

Rockindeano wrote: why didn't Neal protest any of the soft songs and put one or two of HIS own written songs on there? Why didn't Jon Cain say no to the countless piano pussified tunes on there?


The band was already light 2 members and I'm quite sure that Neal and Jon were convinced that Perry would up and leave if his demands weren't met. It was either cave or shelve the band. Neal chose to play ... that's what he loves to do.

You cite 2 colossal failures as your proof that Perry was a leader. Journey went from selling 7-9 million albums to a combined 3 million over 2 albums. Seems to me that Herbie Herbert had them sailing along just fine, getting bigger with every album, until 1986 when someone else decided he knew what was best and started liquidating and firing. They went straight into a downward spiral. Thank God Neal was smart enough to listen to Herbie and keep his stake in Nocturne Productions They do the lighting and stage production for The Eagles, Metallica, Madonna, Paul McCartney, The Super Bowl, Dancing With The Stars and countless other huge acts. I think Neal finally sold a few years back and made an incredible amount of money. That specific example, the numbers while Herbie had majority control of Journey and the real estate ventures he made for the band, tell me that his brains and vision make Nostrildamus look like Louis Braille.

Please, ATL and OTY aren't "rock" songs Dan. They are fast paced pop songs.

As much as Lippard sucks at ballads and with the exception of Bed of Roses by Jovi, their ballads still sound beefier than Journey's. Journey is definitely light compared to those bands.

Not a better live act in those four years? You need to do some research. I also noticed you carefully stopped at 1984, when you know who toured with the American Flag as a backdrop. :wink:

Didn't your hero Neal Schon say on TV and I quote, "the majority of the fans were women." Just because they sold tickets, they weren't necessarily sold to "rock n roll" fans.

Pathetic attempt at a decent rebuttal. The old tried and true Neal loves music card. Come on, you're better than that.

Please. The music scene had already changed BIG TIME by 1986. ROR barely sold two million units. Other bands were having difficulty too. It was the advent of Grunge and rap that cut into pop/rock sales. They went into a spiral because their lead singer was "burning out" by his own admission and also they just didn't put out a real solid effort in ROR. They really rode the shit out of it and it still only sold 2 million. Plus, they were competing with Lippard, Jovi and Guns....that's a tough fight.

I love how you try to get 'Row some run, but I am not allowing that ridiculous shit to take place here. Skid Row is a garage band with a hippie lettuce lead singer with two good songs to their name. They are not to be taken seriously when we are talking big acts of the 80's. :P

LMAO.........I happen to like them.


Slave to the Grind.....was not a release from a Garage Band my friend...they were really quite good back in the day.


That being said.....Journey, Jovi or Leppard were never a hard rock bands...they rocked but not like Motley Crue, Guns and Roses and Areosmith hell even Van Halen had a more of a rock sound.


BUT

Journey was damn good at what they did....and Perry's voice was the catalyst for what they became.

Def Lep's Hysteria album (and from then on) was absolute pop/rock. They ceased being a true rock band after Pyromania. Some other bands I recall "softening" their sound at that time (or going for a more mainstream sound) - Rush, Starship (the bastard child of Jefferson Starship), Foreigner, ZZ Top, Santana, and more. And then there were the purely pop/rock bands of the time like Genesis, Huey Lewis and the News, The Outfield, The Hooters, Honeymoon Suite, Big Country, and too many more to list.

I agree Dano, Lippard is complete garbage. Mutt turned them into a hard Journey, minus vocals. They had hoolks and guitars, but that was it. However, they still retained that "rock" label.

Grunge didn't have any relevance until 1991, when Nirvana released Nevermind, and rap has always been a separate entity with virtually no cross-over fans. You honestly think Journey fans headed over to grunge and rap?!?!

Yeah, the grunge affect wasn't happening just yet, but music had definitely changed since their last studio album, which was three years prior. The top 40 at this point was made up of heavier/glam rock like Jovi, Aerosmith, Crüe, Poison, etc., light pop like Madonna, Jackson, Prince, Pet Shop Boys, etc., early wrap acts like Run DMC, and the pop rock feel of Sprigsteen, Phil Collins, Steve Windwood, Don Henley, Mellencamp, etc. So if you look at it now, Journey was in the same position as Genesis. Their traditional sound was getting dated, so you have to adjust. The heavier rock acts weren't a good fit, so where do you go?I'm not comparing Journey to Genesis, but their metamorphosis was very similar. Early Genesis, up to early 80's is much different than Invisible Touch. Of course after that, Collins totally pussed out.

I'd take a swipe too if I were Schon. Perry blabs about not cracking the stone and then he only pops up on whatever bandwagon is winning and looks like an ass singing songs he hasn't sung in 30 years....

Neal's perceived swipe is only being heard on his own little facebook world anyway. It's not like he went on record with a publication to say what he did. It was something on his private FB page that one of the pinheads copied over to the Journey fan FB page, that's all. No one beyond these forums or the plokker sites knows nor probably would care. It didn't even make onto the official Journey website, that's how much it was worth as news.

It's not "perceived". That was the equivalent of a girl who tells her boyfriend all the reasons she's a better girlfriend to him than his ex was. "Ooooh look, to bad the ex wouldn't (sing) for you... but look at all the things *I* do because *I* love you!!"

He sounds like a catty little 14 year old. Who the hell cares if Perry sang at a baseball game or not. What difference does it make? Get over it, Neal. :roll:

If I type, "Steve," "Perry," or "Espee," do your panties become moist? It isn't too hard to figure out how to turn you on. I could master you easily.

really don't say anything different than what most of us feel.

Perry could sing on a stage or in public anytime he wants to but,
for whatever reason, has chosen not to and it has been very dissappointing
to many fans over the years. And Neal is included...
I'm sure that Neal would love nothing more than to have
Perry still fronting the band because he knows it is pretty much impossible
for Journey to have any relevance without him.

We don't know everything that went on in this break-up and, while
we like to guess and choose side, I'm sure each party involved has their reasons
for anger, animosity, and resentment.

I just wish Neal would take the high road like Perry has over the years
and leave that stuff "within the band". No need to take it out publically...



Thread's winning post right here.
NO. He's NOT Steve F'ing Perry. But he's Arnel F'ing Pineda and I'm okay with that.
