@usablejustice I totally agree with you.. This album and Stings Greatest hits were my very first CD's I ever bought.. I know I was only a kid during there PRIME, but I remember my mom listening to them.. so if you just close your eyes... you can really feel the emotion in his voice..
It doesnt matter who deliver the song but as long as the journey continue through the years and to the future. Arnel did his best but the original is still the original...
@1969jerwin I think it matters!!! Steve Perry sang each and every Journey hit song with so much emotion because they meant so much to him and still do.He either wrote or co-wrote them.
"...Im lost in the silence...I'm dying..." God this is a great song. Its so underrated possibly due to the fact that I don't think they got a chance to promote the album "Trial by Fire" properly. I love how Steve can sing these fast paced songs on stage and stay in tune the entire time. He hits impossible notes--God he was a musical genius with a heaven sent voice. Arnel...is a good singer but...no comparison here. Steve Perry over all the other imitators.
Really Arnel is a great vocalist and gives credit to SP but hey, they moved on. If you grew up with SP, he will always be the VOICE of JRNY but Arnel carries the sprit really good!
someone say the era of perry/schon/cain/valory/smith...another say the era of perry/schon/rollie/valory/smith...the other say the era of schon/rollie/valory/dunba...
THE VOICE of Steve Perry has been changed since he first came into journey...his voice was getting more and more husky...it means he realy worked hard...
Another fantastic song by Steve & Journey. His voice just got better & better. I wish he would come to the UK , so I could see him perform live PLEEEEASE
@ter50 Indeed...it's certainly not as if Journey hired HACKS in the time Perry's been out of the band...they all have good voices...unquestionably....but Perry's soul, essence and inspiration is in EVERY song he sang....how can THAT be duplicated or replicated? Can't be done..honestly...same deal with Ripper Owens in his tenure w/ Judas Priest....Rob Halford's presence had been too much of a force and too important to be simply 'overlooked,' once Rob returned, Priest re-emerged as heroes.
ESTA ROLA LLEVO BUSCANDOLA AÑOS HA, GRACIAS mirringue POR SUBIRLA, ES PARA MI SIN DUDA EL MEJOR REQUINTO DE LA HISTORIA DEL ROCK, POTENCIA, SENTIMIENTO TODO EN ESA GUITARRA...MIL GRACIAS
We have given credit to steve and to journey, but we must give some credit to the person who designed their album covers. He is also amazing with his art. These are some of the best covers i have seen. They are weird but they make you think about the message of each journey album.
You cant compare Arnel to Steve that is just stupid! besides Arnel just imitates Steve! just like all the other 'J ' singers, come back to me when you can hit a Bb5 note ;)
@SPW892 Huge Journey Fan ,but to your comment, That's not actually true.......
They had a release of Arnel singing the hits , True. They also had an album of New stuff , Actually NOT TERRIBLE. The main hit moves and riffs just like Be good to Yourself. They also just finished up the 2nd studio album with Arnel and will start a tour in 2011. Hopefully Steve FINALLY releases his own stuff......
Go see Santana's "Black Magic Woman" and there is Neal Schon on guitar at the age of 16... Carlos asked him to stay on, but told him he wanted to start his own band. Imagine telling Carlos Santana thanks, but no thanks..
Steve Smith is definitely an awesome drummer :). He really rocks on this record, especially on One More. But the album as a whole is great, because you can feel the outpouring of emotions into every song
Arnel is a SP imitation. Journey is afraid to evolve into something else and keeps looking back instead of the future. The arrival of Arnel has done nothing except cement common belief that once Steve Perry departed, Journey is unable to carry on without someone who sounds like him. It's like sugar vs. Splenda. Gimme the sugar.
@Autumnstar1205 I've been a Journey fan for a long time. Was majorly disappointed when Gregg Rolie left. Hated it when Steve quit. But this is ridiculous. It's over. He is gone. Just be happy the band is still out there making the music after 30+ years. Have you listened to the new stuff? Have you tried it at all? Skynyrd has survived. So has Foreigner. SO IS JOURNEY. Get on with your life.
Gods, people. I bought this album ear unheard in '96 because. After that long a time it was obvious it was their last with Perry. Arnel is awesome, let him rise to the occasion. NO ONE can replace Perry, but in Journey they need Arnel at this time. Perry.. Please hear us.. WE LOVE YOU.
That's funny. "I agree (that Journey is unable to carry on without someone who sounds like Perry)" and ye, "The Journey today is not the same." That's a contradiction. If they don't sound the same, they HAVE evolved. If you criticize them for not sounding like they once did YOU have not evolved... mired in the Perry Years. Arnel has similar vocal qualities and he sings songs written for his voice. They needed someone that could still deliver the old sound for nostalgic concerts.
and right he is. It seems that all of the singers since have only tried to imitate his voice. Journey will definitely never be the same. Fortunately for those that don't care about this, can still go to their concerts, but for me, its not Journey. Perry was Journey period. Anyone can play the drums or the guitar, no one has Perry's voice.
Steve Smith did not want to be in Journey with out Steve Perry, so he oppted out! and along came Deen Castronovo, and BTW he kicks ass and can sing!! Check out my page, Deen singing Mother Father!!
from what i have found out is that for steve smith it was not worth being in the band with out steve perry. he had said that being in journey with out steve perry was not worth his time and was not fun at all for him
~~~wow~~~ i just love hearing his fantastic voice......Steve..? will you please come back to Musicland and sing for us again??? PLEASE?? we miss you ....
hey dude ,, you're in the right spot, having artist like these makes you to consider who are really singing in the stage,, get some Scott Soto's works, Micheal Vescera, Freddy Mercury, Dio just for say a few, Ciao!
not just 'shades of' but the actual SAME NOTES and chords of Seperate Ways : just slighlty re-arranged . Em Dmaj and Cmaj. They wanted the songs on this album to be reminscent of their old stuff according to Neal Schon
This cd it was played excellent by them, to me I think it is the best performance ever.If you listen you can tell they play louder and stronger. It sounds excellent!!!
JRNYman..Question? It's been a long time, little know thought that one of the underlying reasons that Journey decided to get out on the road after waiting 13 months for SP decision to tour, was that Ross had made some VERY large financial commitments and without the tour income, he woud've stood the chance to lose everything...which incidentally did anyway with the IRS. Can you expand on that?? I've always been quite curious about that, and I've never seen it talked about anywhere...Cheers!
looked into the financial thing about Ross, he was real busy doing alot of projects to be poor...he was invited back to join forces with Journey for that last album TBF. No info on money issues.
In 1996 Ross was invited to the Journey reunion of the Trial By Fire project.
In 1997 Ross appeared on the Abraxas Pool album and played on the initial performances with Gregg Rolie, Michael Carabello, Jose Chepito Areas and Neal Schon.
In 1998 Ross re-formed Journey with the current membership.
neal wanted to continue to ride on the coattails of Steve Perry! He needs the money for all the alimony he shells out. His band sucked before Steve Perry joined and they suck now. I can go watch a much better tribute band for alot less money. All you haters go to the Journey with Arnel vids if you think they are so great! Why hang out here?
There's a great tribute band out there called Evolution...give'm a listen.....Their not too shabby! I'm just a die hard Journey fan from day one when I first heard them at Soldier Field in Chicago opening for the Stones. I'll see and support them no matter what. They could have Tiny Tim as their front man and I'd still go see them....RF/SP/SA/JSS/AP..it just don't matter......
That is Great! Then you understand how some of us feel about Steve Perry! We feel the same loyalty to him no matter what! We can all be happy on these vids and get what we came for without having name call and bash. I have seen Evolution and a couple of others. Not bad!
There was NEVER a question of how you all feel, because I feel the EXACT SAME WAY! If your buddy JRNYMAN hadn't jumped through his ass at me for responding/defending Journey's dicision to hire AP...to SOMEONE ELSE..none of this would be a conversation. I see his point and your point. Please try and see mine. I think in the 33 YEARS that I have been to their concerts, and supported their music, I can make any point I want to. To whom ever, how ever. Nough said :)PS I like your page! Great Work!!
Tiny Tim is dead - has been for years. But that would be a sight to see!
We "get it" that YOU are a JOURNEY fan regardless of who is out front. It IS a group of capable and talented musicians. No doubt, Gregg, Smitty, Ross and Jon have made significant contributions to "the sound" of Journey and therefore to the band's success. And Neal is an awesome guitarist, the best, highly underrated.
But c'mon, you MUST know that anyone bashing Perry is looking for trouble, right? Truce?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
JRNYman. I would imagine that your A** is quite wide, and, well used. Why don't you run along now like a good little boy on over to votenuberonedotcom, and you can Perry until your little hearts content with all the Freddie fans and Bon Jovi heads. B Bye now:)
JOURNEY doesn't own Steve Perry or his voice, which is the "signature vocal sound". Note that a person's written signature is their own unique identification, which Steve has created by placing HIS MARK on Journey music.
With Arnel, Neal found a "signature sound-alike", which in handwriting terms is known as a FORGERY. You don't have to be an expert to see that one is authentic and one is a fake!
It's not the similarities that matter, but the differences. Boy, are they obvious!
You have no frickin' idea how many pairs of blown-out underwear I have. Wait...on second thought, you probably know EXACTLY how many, because each would have resulted from a time you were blowin' your hot air up my a**!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
JYNYman...First, If want an opinion from you..I'll give you one. Second..no one is interested in your personal smart A** interpretation of Neil Schon's verbalized desire to find a singer that can carry on a "heritage sound". You can call it whatever you want.."signature, heritage, mimik, copy cat, similar, kinda sorta, close, almost, kareokee, bla bla bla.....it is what it is, and what "JOURNEY WANTS". I am sick to death of the sp/sa/jss/ap nausea...OUT
HARLEYBOY120, Why do you and so many others come to 'Journey WITH Steve Perry" sites and bash the man? Have you nothing better to do? We Journey/Perry fans are here to enjoy the music, not to bash Arnel, but we WILL respond when provoked.
We have no problem with you going to a "Journey WITH Arnel" site and glorifying and/or bashing whomever you want...BECAUSE YOU FIND US THERE BEING RUDE AND SPREADING HATE!
You say you're "OUT"?? Great! At last! Thank you and Goodbye, hopefully for good!
MY question is: If Journey now, has "moved on" without Steve, then WHY do they keep getting singers that TRY SO HARD to "sound" like Steve!!! See, even Neal CAN NOT and NEVER WILL be able to get out from under Steve's UNFORGETTABLE, UNDENIABLE PRESENCE!!! I rest my case!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hey Dip Stick!! The band has a signature sound! GET It??? "WE" want a signature voice to go with that "SIGNATURE SOUND"!! Are you picking up yet you dumb ass! If you don't like the "signature sound,mozy on over to Neil Diamond.....!!!
Ha ha, I was laughing my ass off after reading that. That is what "WE" want. I thought the same thing and wanted them to hire the singer from Evolution. The singer mimics and looks like Perry. I figured since they were a characture of themselves anyway.
First: Please do without the name-calling and cursing.
Second:"Signature Sound" translates to "Steve Perry's Voice", because he is the owner/originator of that "sound" by virtue of The Voice emanating from HIS mouth.
True, Journey's instrumentals also have a recognizable sound as well. But that can be approximated by a skilled musician, e.g. Lincoln Brewster playing nearly-identically to Neal when Perry did Journey songs on The FTLOSM solo tour.
Here's an excerpt from the GQ article; the interviewer poses a question and Neal Schon's response is given:
"But when I ask Schon if he's at all tired of Journey being defined by Perry's presence or absence, he answers, 'Um, no. I think he contributed so much to the sound of the band. Those songs are gonna be embedded in everybody's heads and hearts forever'."
JRNYMAN...Why don't you stop preaching to the quire and turn around and face the congragation. Neil wanted a legacy sound for the fans and he got!! The world loves it, and the band enjoys it. Enough..CASE CLOSED.
I admit it IS Neal's band, he is the founder after all. Clearly he's done with it what HE wants. We fans just wish that he HAD NOT done that. Steve also wishes it had not happened: he's made it clear he wanted to be part of Journey.
Granted, no amount of regret, hoping, crying, praying or whining will change the band's history - what is done IS done.
Having admitted all that, would you agree that Journey is more valuable as a commodity
JRNYMAN< No need to admint anything, I appreciate your candor and honesty and, you are dead on!! When it's all said and done, we the fans the ones that are left holding the pieces to a group that in a fashion, "broke our hearts". Yeap, The stone was cracked, and there aint no going back. In the end, it's anyone's guess what there value would be today. Bands,like Commodities, have a shelf life. They know before we do if it's time to go their "seperate ways" ha ha. The truce is granted.
There used to be Vicks Formula 44 commercials on TV where the spokesmen were soap opera actors who portrayed doctors on their shows. So the commercial began, "I'm not an actor, but I play one on TV. Blah, blah, Vicks Formula 44...blah, blah, blah, Vicks".
The idea was to see "famous face 'physicians' in their white coats" in order to lend credibility to the product.
So, more accurately, "I'm not a historian, but I play one on youtube".
The voice, the beat, the tradition...
Awesome song.

Steve Perry can't sing anymore; His voice box is badly damaged somehow... :( Even though I'm only 13, I love Journey! ^^
EdwardFan13 2 years ago
hey dude ,, you're in the right spot, having artist like these makes you to consider who are really singing in the stage,, get some Scott Soto's works, Micheal Vescera, Freddy Mercury, Dio just for say a few, Ciao!

Dio and Mercury are in entirely different leagues than the others you mentioned. So much better.
janderson2000 2 years ago 2
His "voice box" can be crushed to dust and still sound better than Arnel (or anybody else for that matter)
Steve Perry is the greatest singer to ever be recorded.

Name That Tune:
From 3:17 to 3:29 on the piano, then again at 4:22 til 5:12 is somewhat familiar...shades of "Separate Ways", perhaps? Methinks so!
JRNYman 3 years ago 4
not just 'shades of' but the actual SAME NOTES and chords of Seperate Ways : just slighlty re-arranged . Em Dmaj and Cmaj. They wanted the songs on this album to be reminscent of their old stuff according to Neal Schon

JRNYman..Question? It's been a long time, little know thought that one of the underlying reasons that Journey decided to get out on the road after waiting 13 months for SP decision to tour, was that Ross had made some VERY large financial commitments and without the tour income, he woud've stood the chance to lose everything...which incidentally did anyway with the IRS. Can you expand on that?? I've always been quite curious about that, and I've never seen it talked about anywhere...Cheers!
harleyboy120 3 years ago
harleyboy120,
Wow, thanks for asking, but I've never heard anything remotely like that before. Sorry...anyone else know about that?
JRNYman 3 years ago
looked into the financial thing about Ross, he was real busy doing alot of projects to be poor...he was invited back to join forces with Journey for that last album TBF. No info on money issues.
In 1996 Ross was invited to the Journey reunion of the Trial By Fire project.
In 1997 Ross appeared on the Abraxas Pool album and played on the initial performances with Gregg Rolie, Michael Carabello, Jose Chepito Areas and Neal Schon.
In 1998 Ross re-formed Journey with the current membership.

neal wanted to continue to ride on the coattails of Steve Perry! He needs the money for all the alimony he shells out. His band sucked before Steve Perry joined and they suck now. I can go watch a much better tribute band for alot less money. All you haters go to the Journey with Arnel vids if you think they are so great! Why hang out here?
loveofmusic59 3 years ago 3
There's a great tribute band out there called Evolution...give'm a listen.....Their not too shabby! I'm just a die hard Journey fan from day one when I first heard them at Soldier Field in Chicago opening for the Stones. I'll see and support them no matter what. They could have Tiny Tim as their front man and I'd still go see them....RF/SP/SA/JSS/AP..it just don't matter......
harleyboy120 3 years ago
That is Great! Then you understand how some of us feel about Steve Perry! We feel the same loyalty to him no matter what! We can all be happy on these vids and get what we came for without having name call and bash. I have seen Evolution and a couple of others. Not bad!
loveofmusic59 3 years ago
There was NEVER a question of how you all feel, because I feel the EXACT SAME WAY! If your buddy JRNYMAN hadn't jumped through his ass at me for responding/defending Journey's dicision to hire AP...to SOMEONE ELSE..none of this would be a conversation. I see his point and your point. Please try and see mine. I think in the 33 YEARS that I have been to their concerts, and supported their music, I can make any point I want to. To whom ever, how ever. Nough said :)PS I like your page! Great Work!!
harleyboy120 3 years ago
harleyboy120,
Tiny Tim is dead - has been for years. But that would be a sight to see!
We "get it" that YOU are a JOURNEY fan regardless of who is out front. It IS a group of capable and talented musicians. No doubt, Gregg, Smitty, Ross and Jon have made significant contributions to "the sound" of Journey and therefore to the band's success. And Neal is an awesome guitarist, the best, highly underrated.
But c'mon, you MUST know that anyone bashing Perry is looking for trouble, right? Truce?

JRNYman. I would imagine that your A** is quite wide, and, well used. Why don't you run along now like a good little boy on over to votenuberonedotcom, and you can Perry until your little hearts content with all the Freddie fans and Bon Jovi heads. B Bye now:)

Just for the record. The "signature, legacy, heritage sound" of Journey, is owned by JOURNEY no matter who's mouth it comes out of.
harleyboy120 3 years ago
HARLEYBOY120,
JOURNEY doesn't own Steve Perry or his voice, which is the "signature vocal sound". Note that a person's written signature is their own unique identification, which Steve has created by placing HIS MARK on Journey music.
With Arnel, Neal found a "signature sound-alike", which in handwriting terms is known as a FORGERY. You don't have to be an expert to see that one is authentic and one is a fake!
It's not the similarities that matter, but the differences. Boy, are they obvious!

JYNYman...First, If want an opinion from you..I'll give you one. Second..no one is interested in your personal smart A** interpretation of Neil Schon's verbalized desire to find a singer that can carry on a "heritage sound". You can call it whatever you want.."signature, heritage, mimik, copy cat, similar, kinda sorta, close, almost, kareokee, bla bla bla.....it is what it is, and what "JOURNEY WANTS". I am sick to death of the sp/sa/jss/ap nausea...OUT
harleyboy120 3 years ago
HARLEYBOY120, Why do you and so many others come to 'Journey WITH Steve Perry" sites and bash the man? Have you nothing better to do? We Journey/Perry fans are here to enjoy the music, not to bash Arnel, but we WILL respond when provoked.
We have no problem with you going to a "Journey WITH Arnel" site and glorifying and/or bashing whomever you want...BECAUSE YOU FIND US THERE BEING RUDE AND SPREADING HATE!
You say you're "OUT"?? Great! At last! Thank you and Goodbye, hopefully for good!

HARLEYBOY120,
Just to clarify.. I left out ONE very important word:
Go to an AP with Jouurney site...you WON'T find us there being rude and spreading hate!
We won't be there because we have no interest in AP, so we will stay away from his sites.

MY question is: If Journey now, has "moved on" without Steve, then WHY do they keep getting singers that TRY SO HARD to "sound" like Steve!!! See, even Neal CAN NOT and NEVER WILL be able to get out from under Steve's UNFORGETTABLE, UNDENIABLE PRESENCE!!! I rest my case!!!

Hey Dip Stick!! The band has a signature sound! GET It??? "WE" want a signature voice to go with that "SIGNATURE SOUND"!! Are you picking up yet you dumb ass! If you don't like the "signature sound,mozy on over to Neil Diamond.....!!!
harleyboy120 3 years ago
Ha ha, I was laughing my ass off after reading that. That is what "WE" want. I thought the same thing and wanted them to hire the singer from Evolution. The singer mimics and looks like Perry. I figured since they were a characture of themselves anyway.
anakina1 3 years ago
harleyboy120,
First: Please do without the name-calling and cursing.
Second:"Signature Sound" translates to "Steve Perry's Voice", because he is the owner/originator of that "sound" by virtue of The Voice emanating from HIS mouth.
True, Journey's instrumentals also have a recognizable sound as well. But that can be approximated by a skilled musician, e.g. Lincoln Brewster playing nearly-identically to Neal when Perry did Journey songs on The FTLOSM solo tour.
JRNYman 3 years ago 4
I am so glad you said so perfectly those things, so many of us wants to say! Thank you.
Liviavan 3 years ago
The result to Neal recently seeking the SIGNATURE SOUND has yielded a Steve Perry imitator, certainly nothing more, but definitely nothing less.
JRNYman 3 years ago 2
harleyboy120,
Here's an excerpt from the GQ article; the interviewer poses a question and Neal Schon's response is given:
"But when I ask Schon if he's at all tired of Journey being defined by Perry's presence or absence, he answers, 'Um, no. I think he contributed so much to the sound of the band. Those songs are gonna be embedded in everybody's heads and hearts forever'."
Case closed.
JRNYman 3 years ago 4
JRNYMAN...Why don't you stop preaching to the quire and turn around and face the congragation. Neil wanted a legacy sound for the fans and he got!! The world loves it, and the band enjoys it. Enough..CASE CLOSED.
harleyboy120 3 years ago
harleyboy120,
I admit it IS Neal's band, he is the founder after all. Clearly he's done with it what HE wants. We fans just wish that he HAD NOT done that. Steve also wishes it had not happened: he's made it clear he wanted to be part of Journey.
Granted, no amount of regret, hoping, crying, praying or whining will change the band's history - what is done IS done.
Having admitted all that, would you agree that Journey is more valuable as a commodity
WITH Steve, rather than without?
JRNYman 3 years ago
JRNYMAN< No need to admint anything, I appreciate your candor and honesty and, you are dead on!! When it's all said and done, we the fans the ones that are left holding the pieces to a group that in a fashion, "broke our hearts". Yeap, The stone was cracked, and there aint no going back. In the end, it's anyone's guess what there value would be today. Bands,like Commodities, have a shelf life. They know before we do if it's time to go their "seperate ways" ha ha. The truce is granted.
harleyboy120 3 years ago
JRNYMAN, BTW..?? What's the answer to the "historian" referrance. I'm and old fart, but can't put the TV "pop culture thing together?!...LOL
harleyboy120 3 years ago
HARLEYBOY120,
There used to be Vicks Formula 44 commercials on TV where the spokesmen were soap opera actors who portrayed doctors on their shows. So the commercial began, "I'm not an actor, but I play one on TV. Blah, blah, Vicks Formula 44...blah, blah, blah, Vicks".
The idea was to see "famous face 'physicians' in their white coats" in order to lend credibility to the product.
So, more accurately, "I'm not a historian, but I play one on youtube".
(Truce acknowledged and appreciated!).
