It's like when Fleetwood Mac fires Buckingham and has to replace him with two guitarists. It says a lot when you have to have three musicians to fill the void left by one.... (no offense to Arnel, Deen or Jason: love them all, but Perry is one of the most iconic vocalists of the era).
They’d need a few vocalists if Steve was still in the band, anyways. The sad thing about aging is that at some point there will be a handful of people who do better “Steve Perry”s right now than the real Steve Perry would.
Come on people that sound its from a phone. not the real mixing console...of course its gonna sound weird, this kind of act its not gonna let that happen...coming from a professional musician for 43 years...
He needs to start finding his microphone because his voice is uneven and sounds like it is being processed. Steve Perry tried out a lot of mics that match his vocals. His voice keeps dropping out and needs some amplification.
They have so much btracks that it hurts… 😂 Kevin Shirley was asked to mix their tour back in the days when they forced Augeri and eventually ruined his career and voice, so Kevin had to pull the tracks from the studio and blend them in live… nice :) Keep in mind that they book their own shows… so if there is a stadium with 20k spectators, multiple that with the average ticket price, multiple it with the number of dates, deduct the tax and 5% of organizing costs + add on top 5% what comes back from royalties… and there you go! That is why the singers in this band can’t freaking go on…. String is broken, you just go and freakin’ change it but if the singer is tired ?! Sure you can change him too, but that is way noticeable and for sure can ruin the experience. This is why I would advise singers not to join Journey, don’t help out these sad individuals that only care about themselves, not worth the hassle. Justbremember, both Steves got their voices destroyed, Soto too honestly, then here’s Arnel… he looks worn out like hell and I assume they still consider him an Immigrant, though in the USA the real immigrants are the white people😂 Native Americans are something else….
3 different lead singers to replace 1 Steve Perry. Steve put on the best show due to the energy he brought. He would run around the stage and really sell the show. Now watch Steve Perry's live show from years ago with Journey. His energy cannot be matched. Just sayin...
