JOURNEY - Via Jeff Scott Soto

PRESS RELEASE

JOURNEY ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE OF JEFF SCOTT SOTO

June 12, 2007 -- Journey has parted ways with their recently named lead singer Jeff Scott Soto. Jeff’s first appearance with Journey was July 7, 2006 in Bristow, VA. He had been filling in for Steve Augeri, who had to leave the tour shortly after it began on June 23 due to illness. Jeff’s last performance was May 12, 2007 in Leesburg, VA.

According to guitarist Neal Schon, “We appreciate all of Jeff’s hard work and we can’t thank him enough for stepping in when Steve Augeri got sick last year. He did a tremendous job for us and we wish him the best. We’ve just decided to go our separate ways, no pun intended. We’re plotting our next move now."

Keyboardist Jonathan Cain continues, “We were lucky to have a friend who was already a Journey fan step in on a moment’s notice during the Def Leppard tour to help us out. Jeff was always the consummate professional and we hope that he remains a friend of the band in the future. We just felt it was time to go in a different direction.”

Journey--Neal Schon (guitar), Ross Valory (bass), Jonathan Cain (keyboards) and Deen Castronovo (drums)—is taking the rest of 2007 off to spend time with their families, write new songs and map out plans for 2008.

i journey ultimamente si stanno comportando molto male prima con augeri e ora con soto......
spero in un ritorno di perry ma sara' molto difficile....

Perchè male con Augeri scusa?

... si è ammalato durante la tournee e non era più in grado di cantare perchè anche le corde vocali sono state toccate dalla malattia, tant'è che dal vivo sono molteplici i riferimenti e le dediche rivolte a Steve.


Perry direi che sarà molto difficile. Credo che ormai non sia proprio più in grado di cantare.

so che perry sta realizzando un album insieme al grande nuno bettecourt

Si se ne parla ma è principalmente tutto materiale di anni fa.

Questo è uno stralcio dell'intervista a Perry del febbraio 2005

Question:
Is there any hope of ever hearing the songs you wrote with Nuno Bettencourt on the Internet or otherwise? I've been waiting 14 years to hear them ever since reading about them in guitar magazine so long ago. I hear the song "Always" is a buried treasure. Please un-earth this jewel and share the goods!

Steve:
I've thought about. Nuno is not only an incredible player, he's a great friend. "Always" is a beautiful song.

no non si comportano male. e' normale. se un cantante ha problemi con la voce dovranno cercare un sostituto o no ???
certo che...steve perry e' steve perry.
nulla da dire per augeri e...
tanto meno per s. soto
ad ogni modo tutti bravi e tutti con una bella voce.!!!!
