I really liked Steve Augeri. Not only did he do justice to Perry's songs but he also brought songwriting dynamics into the mix as well. He wasn't just a sound alike, the band seemed to actually musically grow. I liked the harder edge that many of the songs took on. While I mean no disrespect to Arnel, it bothers me that the band seemas to just forget everything that Steve A. did. None of the Augeri material is performed anymore, and it seems like they're just rehashing the Perry era.
his voice sounds nothing like steve perrys, he breathes too hard to much and it sounds NOTHING like journey. nothing ever sounds like journey without steve perry
This song was such a fresh approach to the new Journey sound. Augeri`s voice is outstanding. Much better than the two front men since then! We miss you Steve, god bless my friend!!!
i dont know, maybe they just picked the ones that would sound good when he sang them, cause this song has the more "augeri or perry" feel to it, like, a higher pitch than arnels.
Just be GLAD that AP DOESN'T sing any of these! Look at the blasphemous and disastrous results that came from the studio re-recording of the Perry-era Classic Journey Greatest Hits! AP should just leave the older Journey material alone and sing only new JourneyLite songs. :)
Couldn't agree more, my friend! This is the truth, but if you dare say it, you start being attacked for being "racist" against Arnel. I just don't like the way Arnel sings Journey's stuff. I don't think he's a bad singer, but he's just not Journey material, IMHO...
He sounds exactly like Steve Perry, but he has a single flaw, although he does sing with emotion, he just doesn't have that tear-jerking emotion of Perry... otherwise, he's awesome.
Neal soars on this...I love Augeri's voice but I still think Perry is one of the all time greatest Rock vocalists.
Neal Schon...damn...what can you say about him that hasn't been said already?
What a stellar player...I am so proud to be from the Bay Area....where he lives still, I think?

Augeri sounds like Waite here..
I think Bad English should reform if Waite..doesnt want...Augeri can be a good replacement.

yep the lick is exactly from Who's Cryin Now, except in Signs Of Life it fits perfect and is absolutely the best neal schon solo ever written.
along with song "THE THEME" from his solo work called Late Nite.

I've seen him in concert and I was slightly disappointed. Unlike Steve Perry Arnel doesn't sound just like the album. Steve always delivered.

People should not compare their favorites
crooner to each other,coz they are not all
the same,lets just enjoy all singers regardless what part of the world they
came from,if you look at sky its blue.

Words can't even describe how much you have failed.
Augeri is the best post-Perry singer hands down. He had WAY more character than any of the other non-Perry guys.
