Will Perry see Arnel as a threat to his legacy ?

[Rockindeano]

And how do you know what sites Perry does or does not surf? Do you have access to his lap top? I don't think so.

Who said he needs the money? No one.

Who said he owes his fans anything? No one.

I just said I wish he would feel threatened if it would make him come out of retirement.

Chill dude. He's just a man. Can't he be curious as to what other people say about him? I think so.

FUCK YOU.

I know for a fact he doesn't read here.

Stick around, I am in the mood to dust it up a bit.

The only T shirts I have a pic of a dude on it is JSS and BA. MY JJ shirts, I went with the Lowe's Logo and the 48, no facials of JJ.

By the way, Tony looks like he stepped off the set of Deliverance. If he isn't cutting his hair until he wins, it's going to be as long as Perry's Departure look. I am shocked the Home Depot allows that. Lowe's has strict policy with Johnson on his looks.

I'm not so sure it's have a chance to grow that long. Those JGR Toyotas are looking pretty good right now.
They won't ever run well at tracks like Cali or Vegas but wait til we get to the road courses and places like
Bristol.

I used to like Tony, but I hate his fat ass now. He along with the Busch bothers can kiss my ass. Gordon too. I hate the 24. And I really hate the 88 and all his redneck buttfucking sisters and brothers. I hate Pablo Montoyo too along with that POS Ragan. Fuck all those Fords too. Basically I hate em all except JJ.

JJ would suck too if he didn't have CK. Kyle may do it this year and I really hate the fucker. What happened with Tony? I thought you liked fat people?

Even without Chad Knaus, JJ would be racking up the wins. Dude's a monster, CK just adds to the destruction!

Bullshit.
If JJ wasn't in a HMS car w/CK as his crew chief, he'd be stuck in the middle of the pack.
Shit, you could put a monkey behind the wheel of one of those HMS cars and they'd be successful.
HMS has their shit together, with JGR right behind.

[TRAGChick]

Here's another thing I have an issue with...

WHAT DID THESE GUYS DO FOR 3 DECADES WITH THEIR MONEY???!!

Geez, you guys would have us believe that they are all broke, living out the back of a van and eating Spaghetti-O's for dinner!

"We all live in a VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER!"

[Andrew]

I know we probably wont see it that way but will he ? If anything is going to get him out of "retirement" this might.. You know damn well he is checking this site was well as the clips on youtube. He is only human in the end and I am sure he still has some ego about him....

Not for a Nano-second.

Not quite. Chad Knaus happens to be the brightest CC and Jimmie Johnson is simply the smartest driver. He races for points when he has to, and goes for wins when he can. Carl, did you see him win 4 in a row in the Chase last year? Could have and should have been 5 in a row, but the 24 fucked that up at Talledega.

That guy's posts are usually crap, but you gotta admit, that was funny.

[LyricalLady]

Completely laughable thought. SP legacy is firmly in place no matter if Pee Wee Herman was the front man now.

AGREE 100%

It would have been funny if it came from someone that I've seen post something positive before. Still waiting on that. Maybe then I'll laugh.

[Moon Beam]

This Arnel and Steve thing reminds me of a song by Rick Springfield called Bruce. Remember it?

In the song Rick gets frustrated cause girls and everyone else calls him "Bruce" all the time (thinking hes springsteen)

I reckon Arnel will have a similar experience. The die hard fans are gonna argue and never agree. The rest of the world -the casual fans, the concert goers, will look up and say, theres Steve Perry. They'll go to work the next day and say enjoyed Journey, that Perry guy's still got it.

Sadly I think this to be the truth........but maybe not so with his nose noticeable.
Most that have an image of Perry in their mind, have visuals linked to his beak.

However it does not change my stance in the whole scenario.

Now that was funny fella....nice.

Rick!.....so cool we slung a similar sentence, love when that sheet happens.

Darwin, comical come in there.

your a pain in the behind,, but this was FUNNY!! ..wish i would have posted it.. dang!

[Red13JoePa]

Maybe the band doesn't give a shit about threatening his precious legacy, either, just going about their business as entitled.

Kaching! We have a winner.

That's been the case now for eh, 10 years? Perry's never cried over those checks he's been cashin!

Hay now watch it

Right on time. Thanks

Aw hell...

I aim to please lol

[Perrydise]

If Neal and Friga are any kind of "artists", they should NOT allow MONEY to totally drive their musical direction. Why is it so necessary to "milk" this "dead cow"?

Interesting statement and question. They long lost the title "artists". They dont give a shit about anything except for how much more they can drag out of fans. They are going to countries they may not have played before to try and get even more. These 2 dead cows are nothing better than 2 old pro's out prostituting for every last dime they can. They will find any "Jon" anywhere to get a buck from. AP is just a cheap lure, they dont have to promise him anything.

Is SP jealous? - HELL NO
Is SP threatened? - You have got to be freaking kidding me. Dumb and Dumber gave their "fans" exactly what they wanted - a sound a like,(many many AP lovers have called him that) that will con alot of people into to concerts. AP was hired to imitate and thats all he really can do. There has been no NEW MUSIC for him to show ANYONE what he can do. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery and no matter how well you imitate you can never replace the original.

Hope everyone has fun in Vegas. Oh while your there, after catching the Steve Perry Impersonation show, run and catch the Elvis one too. (they give out free drinks)

Heard it from the horse's mouth.......standing right in front of him. So I think I'm apt to believe the man, himself

Yanno.. HMS isn't all that super. T. Labonte was one hell of a driver, but instead of equalizing the money poured into each car, they poured it all into one little shithead's pos. Team in indicative of "everyone" and on that team (even though JJ is top dog right now) there is only one driver that they think will keep their bacon fryin. Give it another year, maybe two and they'll begin neglecting the four in order to pour ALL the funds back into that little shit's car again.
I wholeheartedly believe the ptb should have CAPPED the amount of cars per "team" to two, back when this idea was first thought of. At this point we have little shits who couldn't drive themselves around a damned matchbox car track cloggin up the back end of these badass (or what used to be) races in order to hold the way for their own team money dogs. Isn't racin and never will be. Damnit! We need another Sr. out there bustin people up again!

And Dean, don't paint baby Busch with the same brush you're painting the drunk with. Totally different people and the kid has what it takes. God I miss Rusty!

Answer this question and you'll have your answer:

Will Elvis Presley see any of the Elvis impersonators as a threat to his legacy?

[Enigma869]

I would say that about sums things up, perfectly!

I still keep thinking this over. I think Perry sees the band as destroying his legacy and not the replacements who have had no real success !

No one could ever destroy Perry's legacy in my book. He's the best rock vocalist in history as far as I am concerned. It doesn't matter what Neal, Jon, or Ross do. They have no power over Perry's legacy.

[finalfight]

Artistic? I agree they have obviously lost the hunger to create, however, they did do a new CD. As for performing new songs live, only a handful of artists even attempt that anymore, because everytime a band says, "here is something new" the place empties out. Besides Bruce and U2, who else plays something "new" live for the fan? Hell, Neal and Cain have been as you say, in every joint in America. Would you rather play Hollywood Bowl or Pete's burger bar? The Journey name still carries tons of weight, and yes, Perry is responsible for at least half of it. However, two things here. 1- They are entitled to use it, and 2- Perry has the option of coming back and either resurrecting it or adding to it, and sadly he chooses neither. His choice and I respect it. But I also respect the fact that no one member "owns" the name of the band.

The bold text from your reply above Dean is the EXACT reason why I have lost respect for this band and why I feel they are making a mistake now and have been for a decade or so.

Music is (or should be) ART FIRST. Money and success should follow the creation of valuable ART.

Oh come on. Not all music should be regarded as art. Some of it is pure entertainment and nothing more. Think pro wrestling. Its not a serious sport, its sports entertainment.

As good as it is Journey's music is not art in the same way as say Springsteen's or Neil Young's but it is a damn sight more entertaining! There is no serious artistic meaning or message in the majority of Journey's output unless of course you count the 'message of love'!

That being said I regard both Schon and Perry as artists of the very highest calibre in their respective fields.

I await the witty response and frankly overused cool shades emoticon with baited breath!

[finalfight]

A side question. Does any body know around about how much Valory would of made from his time in Journey? Obvisouly nowere near the amount as Perry/Schon/Cain, because of writing credits etc.

Wasn't he actually bankrupt at some point? Minimum wage I guess!
