Journey on Oprah

[Sensible Shoes]

Didn't realize this was a rerun until I looked it up on Youtube, but Steve Perry must be feeling particularly unloved these days.

Arnel is a great singer. Much better than Steve Augeri, imo.

Oprah?

goddamn, woman, go outside or something!

Holy Shit,He's Fucking Good.

As much as I hate the whole "hire the tribute band singer and pretend it's the real band" thing, the guy is good. Even has Perry's SamCookeIsms down to a science.

Definitely better than their first tribute singer Steve the clone, and certainly better than Jeff Sucks Scrotum. Wonder what he would sound like with his own band, not imitating Steve Perry?

First, Arnel is a terrific singer. And he seems like a really great guy. I can't express enough how happy I am for the guy that he pulled himself out of a horrible situation and is big time now. Definitely a sad story and a guy that is very easy to root for.

However, I love Journey, and it's just not Journey without Steve Perry to me. I love all those old songs. I'd almost kill to be able to see a reunion tour. I think it could be huge ie...The Police tour.

So basically my thoughts are these.

Wish Arnel all the best.

As for Journey...no Steve Perry, no ticket money from Sadaist.

Perry was way to much of a poser for me. This guy is the real deal. Perry wasn't original anyway !!

[Va Beach VH Fan]

My wife and I knew Arnel when he sang in the clubs outside of the base in the Philippines... Those guys really rocked....

I have no control over the TV here my dear, and responsibilties inside. I am also forced to watch ET, Dr. Phil, Soaps and 2 solid hours of local news. There are days I'd rather have a bullet put in my head. Having Journey show up was a big treat.

My life is not my own anymore.

yes it is, just not in control of your surroundings right now. chin up, lady.

2 solid hours of local news

that's gotta hurt. can't get away from it, ever!

[Sensible Shoes]

Nope.

Even though I've never been a Journey fan, this guy does sound identical. I guess that's the only way these bands can stay in business? I mean doing the triple bill touring circuit? Recently I saw Foreigner (another band I never liked) on A&E and they had another clone voiced singer. Weird shit.

Shit, I dealt with two deaths this past week and thought I'd about had it? That is until I read what you have to endure.

You must have a soul of steel cos I'd start playing on the railroad tracks every chance I had. :p
