He sings more than that...and he sounds so damn good.
Maybe he doesn't get enough credit for how multi-talented he is.
He's as good as Phil at playing and singing.
You gotta get that boot dood.
Wow. One of my fave old Journey tunes, off Escape.
Smith plays some nice stuff on that orig tune.
& Perry is at his wailing finest.
Deen sings lead on THAT one while playing it AW?
Nice. [Augeri & the boys evidently wanted to let him do it if he was that competent.]
Now let's see him do Dixie Highway...;c)

One thing though, he "rocks" those fills out a little bit too much. Smith was really slick whereas Deen just goes ballistic a bit.
Not that that's bad, just a lot different.
I hears ya.
There was def something about Stv's jazz-influenced rock feel, ideas, & inflection...& those Sonors of his w the Journey stuff...
That last quick fill in that tune...always killed me.
Sorry if this sounds a tad presumptuous [as it's not the intention], but if I were to humbly guess [img]redface.gif[/img] , I bet you mean the second-to-last fill [the 3rd fill of 4 near the end b4 the outro] from Smith's orig rendition of Mother Father...from memory, the one where he's playing 'brisk' singles, 16th-note-trip goupings - of 4 per drum, but within a triplet grouping like 3:2 [or 6:4], from sn-tom1-tom2-sn-tom3-tom4...if i recall correctly from remembrance...someone correct me if I'm wrong...
Those first 3 fills [including this 3rd one] are all very nice anyway indeed...the 1st being a 16th-note pattern between sn/DB/toms...the 2nd being an 8th-note trip from sn down the toms, with a couple of flams thrown in, 1st on the sn, then on a low tom near the end of the fill].
AND he was the one to come up w them. [img]wink.gif[/img]

You presumptuous bastid!
Right, the 3:2 singles fill. I forgot about the patented Steve Machine Gun Smith dramatic flam-filled fill leading into the out section...
Deen turned it into a scatterchot tom/BD metal fest fill.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ah, well, coming from Deen, I guess that's OK too. ;c)Deen turned it into a scatterchot tom/BD metal fest fill.
And hey, no, really, I'm not PRESUMPTUOUS... [img]wink.gif[/img]
Most of the time.
As to the other part of the remark, well... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
