Journey

Re: Journey

Just a heads up for any Journey fans out there. The cd/dvd package is released this Tuesday 6/3 exclusively at wal-mart. I've heard it and am impressed with Arnel Pineda (the new singer). Hope you guys check it out if you can.

Yeah he is good, but wow Steve is the man. I love that guys voice. This guy is really good, but to me Journey is Steve.

Re: Journey

No, the speculation came when he was taking his mother to different cancer treatment specialists. People would see him there and think he was under going treatment for his voice. After his mom passed in late 1985 he did one more album and tour with Schon and Cain in 1986 called Raised On Radio. That was the one Randy Jackson from american idol was on. After that he had enough of the BIZ and went away for a couple years. The only thing different with his vocals is natural aging. Male cords thicken with age. Personally I like his tonal quality now more then when he was hittin those high notes on pre Escape era. Nonthing wrong with him at all, he's just retired.

I think you are wrong, he did have a vocal problem, they talked about it on behind the music and he siad they thought it was pretty bad too. I think singing like that can do so bad things on the throat.

Came back in '96 for "Trial by Fire" - that album had Perry, Schon, Cain, Vallory, and drummer Steve Smith all together..

I haven't seen BTM w/ Journey since it aired many,many years ago but if you remember what part? Steve never mentioned he had any damage or problems with his voice that I remember. I don't even believe there was a segment on the show that put any light on him having any damage. He was just burnt out after 1986. Thats why he quit or left it in limbo for ten years. There's no doubt you need to stay in shape and stay away from the substance abuse problems some people occur like drinking and drugging to sing a catalog like Journey's. You pretty much have to live like an athlete. Of course stay away from the roids, lol!

I think they have a couple of them. Becasue the one I saw he talked about having a voice scare. They first thought it was cancer. He talked about it on one of those shows. Maybe it was a cover up, but he did mention it. You sing like that I wouldn't be shock if it did cause some vocal problems.

Re: Journey

Journey fans should get this.

12 bucks for 2 CD's and a DVD of Live music.

The new disc, I've heard only about three songs from the live DVD, but if After All These Years isn't a hit, I'll stop listening to music. If your married or in a long term relationship, that song is great.

No one can replace Steve Perry, but this guy, is good.

The drummer does a great job singing on Mother, Father.

After All These Years.

Re: Journey

The new guy has a great voice. I think he still needs so practice though. He is not as smooth as Steve. Especially with some of the notes.

I will have to check this out, didn't even know about a new album. I like the cover too:

Trial by Fire was a good album.

As I said, no one will replace Steve Perry.

He should be his own singer, anyway, so , there isn't Steve Perry comparisons going around.

No wonder it's difficult to follow a legend. Rodgers with Favre, Manning and whoever else, and then Steve Perry and whoever else.

It has to be difficult for the new singer wherever Journey goes, the fans and media will try to compare him with Perry.

It's a new Journey and it should be looked like that.

I just saying his notes don't really smooth out. He has an awesome voice though.

Re: Journey

Ok, your probably up more on that than me. I just listen to the voice, background voices and the music.

Re: Journey

Great song... I am going to use this one as a "parents tribute" at my wedding..

I was just thinking of that song when my children get married.

It is a great song.

Re: Journey

That guy is a phenomenal singer. It's difficult though for me to personally accept this as Journey considering I grew up with them and Steve Perry is the face of Journey.
