Very kewl, indeed.

Even tho there's "talk" of Perry's att & the band's "situations" w him [some likened to the "Don King/Tyson" or "Rocky Balboa Vs. Tommy Gunn" type syndrome], I will say that he is still one of my fave pop/rock singers, ever.

Even if he DOES have those so-called, "80s, high-pitched contratenor/falsetto, 'girlie-boy'" vocals that the metal guys used to bag on [because it didn't sound as if he'd swallowed a fistful of razorblades forums ]...I think some peeps were just getting a little tired [ya think?!] of all those types of bands w the high vox getting signed...& ESP the Perry wannabes in your local clubs & garages...

But then I always liked that style anyway. Brad Delp, Fran Cosmo [Boston], Tony Harnell [TNT], Rik Emmit [Triumph], Max B from GTR [w Mover], Geoff Tate [Queensryche], & Steelheart's, etc, all used to slay me...even Warrant, & Europe's, I'm embarassed to say. Final Countdown forums ...hated the song tho. ;c) Some of these guys could bust YOUR b*llsacks with some of those notes...

Augeri's vox are very nice...& he sounds a lot like Stv, & can cover the parts, but...he "still quite ain't no Perry." ;cp

Deen on Mother Father is still kickin my tail. I can hear that it's not Perry, mostly, but I am still a little suspect along w RW about hearing those little Perryisms & nuances that sound a little TOO much like Perry himself...even Deeno can't be THAT good an impersonator[?!]...[background/accompanying trax?!]...;c)

-------------------

Right then, Steve-o [P]; get the lead out on that Houston thing, please forums ...as there's some substantial "retro-$" to be made...[not that he needs it]...I'll get it...after all, it's "owed your fans" anyway, isn't it?! lol forums
