Lead singers that didnot work out

Quote :

Has Journey put out an album with the new Phillipino guy or has he just been touring with them?

Yeah. It's called "Revelation". It's good too.

Meh, I'll stick with my lone Greatest Hits disc. I like to listen to 'Open Arms' and dream about my 8th grade dance where Christy let me get my 1st touch of boob (over the shirt, of course).

On to the current topic, do you think this new guy will have any staying power with Journey or is he "1 and done"?

Never heard the album he did with'em myself (tho I hear it's pretty decent), but it probably wouldn't have mattered if Kevin DuBrow sang on it, cuz QR were pretty much dead as a doornail by that point (1988) anyway.

Maybe in your house. But at my house and in Japan, QR never died.

Understood, but you know what I mean. In the "Behind the Music" on Quiet Riot Frankie Banali basically admitted that the Shortino album was just thrown out there to fulfill their record contract. I don't think they even toured for it (except maybe in Japan).

That's really up to Neil Schon. My opinion (which is worth a lot, as you well know) is that they never should have gotten rid of Steve Augeri. Steve Perry despite all the clamoring of fans to get him back, isn't the same guy anymore so he would never work if he came back. The new kid is their best bet now, but I personally think he'll have one more record before he's gone. Then Perry will come back and it will be disasterous.

Oh yeah, I'm just ticklin your nads. In the late 80s, Shortino was looking for a new record label for Rough Cutt and ran into Spencer Proffer who promised him things that were never delivered. Essentially like with all Pasha QR albums, the only one who made any significant profit is Proffer himself.

And I appreciate it. But I'd appreciate it even more if you'd get a manicure once in a while.

Paul Rodgers? "That new dude"? You have gone mad. Paul Rodgers runs circles around that dead guy they had before.

Wow that's quite a statement! They are not even comparable outside of the realms of Rodgers trying to sing Mercury's songs. I think that Paul Rodgers is a bad fit for Queen.

old Seb's Skid Row and new lead singer of ''skid row'' = disaster

HA HA! Good one! Do tell us another.

Eric Brann in Iron Butterfly.

Gordon Haskell in King Crimson - He didn't even complete the album Lizard before being canned, they hired Jon Anderson to finish off the last needed vocal track.

Say What??? Nobody can repleace Freddie Nobody Queen without Freddie is only a shell of its former self IMO

GG Allin in My Cousinis Butt Trumpet. Pretty obvious why that union ended so ugly, but at least we are left with an astronomically, insanely good album in "Fore-Flew over the Coo-Coo's House" [Koo-Koo's? I can't remember now]. Man, they simply don't make music like they did in 1985 any more!

Sorry guys and gals, I don't get the attraction of Freddie Mercury. His voice really grates on my nerves. But then so doesn't Queen's music. There isn't much that I dislike more than a Queen song.

Sometimes it seems like you just try to piss everyone off.

If I was worried about making peeps mad, I wouldn't say anything. But why get pissed over another's opinion? Pass the green beans please. Damn Sax, these biscuits are righteous!

I've known plenty of people in my life that hated Queen and/or Freddie Mercury, not a big deal. As I've said before, if we liked all the same bands it would be a damn boring planet.

Exactly.

Ian Gillan in Black Sabbath, although I love what they did together and the tour was equally great.

I agree completely, still wish they made more than one together.

I never did get to hear anything from these guys while he was in the band but Whitfield Crane From Ugly Kid Joe sang in Life Of Agony for years but they would only do live shows and they never recorded anything with him. I thought that would have been an interesting album if they were to ever record one. I miss hearing this guys voice. The other bands that hes been in I havent seen their albums anywhere.

I heard the new guy is already saying he's homesick.

Ripper lasted about the same amount of time as Blaze was in Maiden, so i guess he didn't work out long term even though he is more than capable. He was in Iced Eath an even less amount of time.

I just thought of another one. Now, I'm not even sure it was ever intended that this guy should do more in this band than the concert(s)(?) he did, but Bride's Dale Thompson did sing for Stryper for a short spell!
