Thanks for posting - very interesting - I even clicked the link! Great story of his turn (or return) to Christ.
Enjoyed most of his music back in the day, and still listen to it. For some reason I always liked the ironic cover art on his “Greatest Hits” album.
Thanks for sharing this.
Tweeted the link.
They got smited?
;D
Kinda. Rolie sang but was mainly keyboards and the drummer was the (fantastic) Aynsley Dunbar. In those days they all sang when it was necessary, but it was much more of a hard rock sound based on instruments.
Nihilism is worse.
;D
LOL....you betcha! HAHAHA!
I was freeping the other night and heard (what I thought was) Journey on TV. Never a big fan, but Steve Perry sounded so good I mentioned it to Mrs. dice. She said, ‘Look at the screen,’ and it was this Asian kid singing, and he was great.
Maybe Gannett and the NYT are next....we can hope. :)
*THUD!*
All the MSM can get bent, for all I care.
This place beats them to the punch, nearly every time, anyway.
Thought you might find this an interesting article.
“...the whole world is under control of the evil one”—apostle john...1 John 5:19...apostle Paul...in one of the Corinthian letters...also referencs him as “the God of this world”
In the Seventies, my Dad once ended up sitting next to Alice Cooper on a flight to New York (my Dad always flew first class for business). He said Cooper was a nice guy and totally normal. Cooper told him his whole onstage persona was an act, and he really wasn’t like that at all.
Alice is a biblical literalist.
Good on him.
He is very good. Almost a dead ringer for Steve Perry on the early stuff.
ALMOST.
He's just missing...something...
The new stuff with him, sounds like Journey with a singer who sounds similar to Steve, but not Steve.
Still...they sound great.
I understand he has some “religious” music, probably says so in the article, sorry, I will read it tomorrow.
But almost every album he put out is at least decent, few duds and he’s probably put out 30 studio albums or so. A lot.
>> “I once had a GenY insist to me Journey was way more important a band than Led Zeppelin” <<
.
Totally different genre, how does one make a comparison?
I knew Journey’s old business manager, Herbie Herbert. He made it sound like all that mattered for Journey was making money so he could invest it in real estate.
I laid out his house in Orinda way back in 1980 or so.
.
Wait until someone tells you how much better One Direction is than either of those bands.
You’re thinking of Genesis, maybe? Phil Collins joined that band as drummer and backing vocalist in 1970 (with occasional lead vocals on some tracks), and became full-time lead singer when Peter Gabriel left in 1975.
