Bad song, great hair.

I knew that. Steve Perry wasn't even their first singer. Was Greg Rollie, their original keyboard player. And he's the one singing this song.

Journey is now on lead singer #6 Here

Trivia: American Idol judge Randy Jackson played bass for Journey

Yea, but he ain't no Steve Perry.

Damn, those guys had no idea what kind of sound to have back then, did they? Journey as proto-heavy-metal-hairband is just wrong, wrong, wrong

True, but he sounds as close to Steve Perry as anyone's going to get (other than Steve Perry).

Question: When does copying someone else's vocal style and voice infringe on 'identity theft'? Does your answer change if the band releases a new single that sounds exactly like Steve Perry?

So many other good songs to choose from, why this one?

As far as I'm concerned, the only time Journey didn't suck was when they were a 4-piece with Gregg Rolie doing the vocals. Seriously, who do you want in your band, the guy who sang and played organ on "Black Magic Woman" in Santana, or that little rat-faced schmoe?

Like most FM rock stations,the one local to me has a body of great groups they play in rotation. Sadly,they only play two or three songs by each group over and over. It's the Baba O'Reilly Syndrome.This in addition to the suckage of the always un-funny morning DJ is common to all FM rock stations.

They play three Journey songs. Stone in Love,Don't Stop Believing and one I don't know the name of. The third, I don't know the name of, has both singers and is enjoyable to me. At some point in it it has harmonizing singing the line 'Ohhh-oh any time you want me'. It almost sounds like two songs where one song ends with a line I've always heard as 'feeling that way' then rolls into the 'anytime you want me line'

All that to ask if anyone knows what that song is called?

doctorwormwood: holy crap ... thats Neal singing? I know that dude .. wow has he changed over the years..

No, it's Greg Rolie, as mentioned a few times in the thread. Dude left the band right before the Escape album, and all the money started to roll in. Doh!

hello

 
WhyteRaven74 [TotalFark] 2008-05-31 04:22:39 PM  
doxonrox99: Doh!

Except it was Rollie's replacement, Jonathan Cain, who co-wrote Don't Stop Believing, and got the sole writing credit on Faithfully. And he also cowrote Open Arms and Who's Crying Now. In other words, yeah Rollie left before Journey got huge, but it was his replacement that to a fair degree is responsible for Journey getting huge.

Just have him change his name to Arnel "Ripper" Pinada. That should take care of the issue.

Someone should ask neal schon is his amp has any under-drive.

His guitar was so fuzzed out it was fizzy.

YES! I actually had the first Journey album and it wasn't bad. Rat face ruined them for me.

Greg Rollie makes them sound like every other rock band in the 70s, at least the rat faced schmoe has a huge vocal range

/this is a horrible song
