"I had to give myself the right to suck and write some music that maybe isn't so great"

Isn't that what Aerosmith has always done?

No. That started at about 1987, when they should have stopped.

Anyway, Steve-oh, mission accomplished.

What did TFA have to do with Aerosmith?

And Journey has always sucked. There, I said it.

Fark all the haters, I love Journey. Lights, Wheel In The Sky, Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', Who's Crying Now, Don't Stop Believing, Separate Ways (Worlds Apart), Open Arms....love 'em all.

Never was into Journey, really, but followed Aerosmith a little bit in HS. It's easy to confuse those two, though, because of Aerosmith's lead guitarist Joe Perry.

I too thought the Steve Perry mentioned in the headline was Steven Tyler (but it made sense because A-smith hasn't written anything good in decades).

No, no, you're thinking of the black guy who has all those TV shows.

Actually, picturing Tyler Perry in his transvestite character playing guitar for Aerosmith is the best mental image I've had all day.

And it only becomes funnier when you picture him replacing Neal Schon in Journey.

I don't understand... is he getting back with Journey, or what? He can't possibly still hit those high notes.

Even my friends in a fairly serious Journey tribute band (the lead singer has a Steve Perry wig and everything) are sick of Don't Stop Believing.

Just sayin'.

Haters gonna hate. I have a soft spot for Journey, not everything they did, but quite a bit. Especially the Greg Rolie era:

Just The Same Way (new window)

Even the pre-Perry prog type stuff that some swear is superior music. I don't, but it is good.

Exactly right. The Greg Rolie era is what I play the most. My favorite band in HS and still tugs at the heart today. Love me some Steve Perry. If I had been born a woman I'd been throwin' my panties on stage just like all the rest of the ladies..

/lol. Fark all you haters. Ya'll still funny though.

Steve Perry is one of the most under-rated guitarists in the history of Journey. it's nice to see him finally getting his dues.
