****I’m 46 years old. They’re girl rock and yes its quite likely that they were stoned out of their mind as much as any other band of the day****

Have you heard any Journey music before Steve Perry joined them?

I like Arnell, a lot. But, Perry is Perry and he is the real deal at the end of the day that Arnell is copying.

I was just listening to Nickle and Dime last week, I know what you are saying. Very doubtful in this day and age that they would entertain writing that stuff again.

Yeah, I have it all on vinyl as well. I have some of the old tracks (Kohoutek) from the Time3 Box set, but I’m not sure if the others have been put to CD.

I’m glad I have the actual albums...just for the artwork alone. When I get my “man cave” done I’m gonna hang ‘em up. Great stuff. :)

I’d take Perry over Morrison for most rock songs any day of the week.
Spare me - Perry not only sings like a girl, he looks like one ...


You don't even have a clue what rock is. Kansas? LOL ...

Behind the music the director's cut (video from E!):

Very interesting!

Behind the Music / Journey

There is no way he could hit those notes he hit in the 80's.

My favorite guitarists are Jim McCarty (Cactus, Mitch Ryder); Clapton; Hendrix; and to me #1 of all time is Jeff Beck, bar none.

Jeff Beck was the most under appreciated alumni of The Yard Birds.

Right. I don’t have a clue. Sometimes Freepers are so freakin’ ignorant, it’s pathetic. And who have you played with, old pro?

Yea, its as I suspected. I kinda think that when he was starting to lose the power in his voice, either the band did really just kick him out or they made an amiable agreement for a cover story. The continued banter is just a way to promote sales.

At least that’s what my cynical side thinks.

The 2010 Beck tour had Narada Michael Walden on drums ... incredible player...the drummer on Beck’s “Live at Ronnie Scotts” is Vinnie Colaiuta...he is “outta sight”...youtube him for your drumming fix...magritte

Vinny-—that’s the guy. Look, I don’t LIKE that type of drumming, hated Keith Moon and the guy with Rush-—but Calaiuta is just astounding. And Tal Wilkenfeld is the person who keeps the whole group together. Jazz is odd like that in that unlike most rock, where the DRUMMER keeps the band together, in Jazz one of the other players does, often the bassist (i.e., see the old Dave Brubeck Quartet.)
