Posted by Epiphany (aka Epiphany) Dec 12 '16, 13:17

I'd had enough of his shenanigans.

C'mon - 3 more posts to get Pippy a classic rock Cappie -- nm - crash davis Dec 12, 14:15
I had enough of him after the first Slaughter album. - groiny Dec 12, 13:24 8
- I am in agreement. We left half way through that set. -- nm - Epiphany Dec 12, 13:26 7
  - Slaughter was cool for that one album, and then it went to crickets fast. -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 13:27 6
    - they went the WHite Lion route. And got overwhelmed by all the other hair bands -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 13:34 5
      - I was ok with White Lion for a lot longer than Slaughter. - groiny Dec 12, 13:39 4
        
        that 1st Slaughter release was excellent. Then they got derailed by drugs and dumbassery -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 13:42 3
        
        I agree to groiny's IM and your assessment of how it all went wrong for them. Their drummer is pretty much a bad ass - Epiphany Dec 12, 13:49 2
        
        who is thier drummer now? A lot of the great 80's/90's session guys are out on the road now -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 13:51 1
        
        Zoltan Chaney. Never heard of him before - but I'm not going to forget him - complete crazy person up there -- nm - Epiphany Dec 12, 13:53
speaking of the eighties - on the way back to work, the radio was advertising Journey and Asia playing here in March. I'm sorely tempted - crash davis Dec 12, 13:22 37
- are you like me...won't see Journey without Perry? -- nm - Epiphany Dec 12, 13:23 36
  - at first I felt like that, but now the idea of singing along to "Heat of the Moment" and "Don't Stop Believing" sounds fun -- nm - crash davis Dec 12, 13:34
  - Yes. See also: Styx without Dennis DeYoung. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 12, 13:29 13
    - Gowan, who is awesome, had been the lead singer of Styx for SEVENTEEN years! -- nm - zork Dec 12, 14:04
    - how was the Fixx show? -- nm - Epiphany Dec 12, 13:31 2
      - Pretty good. It was also nice to be the mid-to-low-range in ages there. - JaxSean Dec 12, 13:39 1
        
        :) -- nm - Epiphany Dec 12, 13:48
    - um....ew....... - groiny Dec 12, 13:29 8
      - I like Dennis...but it just means they don't do the dumbass opera stuff he wanted them to do.... - Remlik Dec 12, 13:31 7
        
        I will say the dude who replaced him sounds exactly like him. -- nm - pmb Dec 12, 14:29
        
        LOL -- nm - Epiphany Dec 12, 13:32 5
        
        there's a solid documentary about them. And they talk to everyone...Dennis had big aspirations and when Mr. Roboto failed... - Remlik Dec 12, 13:36 4
        
        yeah, Dennis' tastes run to cheese. like, serious stinky fromage. -- nm - Diva Dec 12, 13:38
        
        it was just a fucking dumb song. -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 13:37 2
        
        Concept Album! -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 13:39 1
        
        they needed to stop at Paradise Theater -- nm - crash davis Dec 12, 13:42
  - it's a hard sell -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 13:25 20
    - not at all. the guy they have is terrific. Perry doesn't want to do it. -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 13:27 19
      - it just is not Journey, just like Queen is not Queen with Paul Rogers or Adam Lambert. -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 13:28 18
        
        it's been Journey ever since he left. He's replaceable. -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 13:29 8
        
        except, it is not. -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 13:29 7
        
        except it is and has been ever for about 20 years. -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 13:30 6
        
        how many #1 songs have they had without Steve Perry? - groiny Dec 12, 13:31 5
        
        Doesn't matter. they wouldn't have had any with him. Radio dropped them in the late 80's early 90's to the classic rock dustbin -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 13:33 4
        
        Aerosmith did ok. -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 13:36 3
        
        yeah they jumped onto the Diane Warren/Desmond Child train, they wrote a majority of the Ballads for them... - Remlik Dec 12, 13:39 2
        
        there is something about seeing these bands once hey have passed their shelf life...... - groiny Dec 12, 13:43 1
        
        Some can't figure it out like Tull, but Ian Anderson goes out by himself and does well. Aerosmith has a legacy that they can rest on... - Remlik Dec 12, 13:48
        
        I can see a Journey cover band just as easily, and much much cheaper. -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 13:29 8
        
        but not nearly as good. No Neal Schon on guitar no Steve Smith on drums of Jonathan Cain. -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 13:30 7
        
        meh, keep it. -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 13:30 6
        
        I'm in this camp. Not going until Perry's back - and I'd pay a fortune to see it -- nm - Epiphany Dec 12, 13:32 1
        
        ain't happening. They put on a great show. I'd LOVE it if Perry would do it...but he's either got stage fright... - Remlik Dec 12, 13:34
        
        aw groiny...keep an open mind. never know until you see them. -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 13:32 3
        
        I saw Blink without Tom DeLonge, never do it again. -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 13:36 2
        
        *shurg* I thought they were better without his stupid shit he'd say all the time. -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 13:37 1
        
        that was part of the charm........ - groiny Dec 12, 13:38
