Hello sonny mtv, three years ago, you replied to someone on your channel that you "got more Steve Perry / Journey demos, and would upload them when you'd have more time". Is this still part of your plans today? Personally, I'd still love to hear them.

THANK YOU very much, @@sonnymtv3960, it's downloaded. Now it's just a matter of listening carefully, and checking if there are any tracks missing from KZbin so far.

Hi @@sonnymtv3960! After listening to your files, here is some information I can provide about the various tracks on this compilation: 01 - Let Him Go (04:21) *Never officially released, probably recorded between 1991/93, before Perry's solo album For the Love of Strange Medicine.* 02 - Let It Rock You (04:39) *Journey demo never officially released, probably from their 1985 project Freedom (renamed Raised on Radio in 1986).* 03 - With a Tear (03:13) *Journey demo from their 1985 album Freedom, officially released on Time3 in 1992.* 04 - Don't Tell Me Why You're Leavin' (04:48) *From his Street Talk solo album, 1984* 05 - It's only love (03:09) *From his Street Talk solo album, 1984* 06 - I Believe (04:26) *From his Street Talk solo album, 1984* 07 - She's Mine (04:15) *From his Street Talk solo album, 1984* 08 - Foolish Heart (03:31) *From his Street Talk solo album, 1984* 09 - Captured By The Moment (03:46) *From his Street Talk solo album, 1984* 10 - Go Away (03:49) *From his Street Talk solo album, 1984* 11 - Lost Angels (04:20) *Co-written with Clif Magness probably between 1991/93, originally intended for Perry´s solo album For the Love of Strange Medicine, never officially released.* 12 - Get Your Face Out Of Here (03:47) *Pre-Journey or Journey demo, between 1975/78, never officially released.* 13 - Somebody, Somewhere (04:13) *Co-written with Phil Brown in 1991, never officially released.* 14 - Just Another Heartache (03:52) *Renamed by you "Nothing But A Heartache", probably an abandoned demo from Perry's solo albums Street Talk in 1984 or Against The Wall in 1988/89, never officially released.* 15 - Congratulations (04:22) *Probably recorded between 1991/93, before Perry's solo album For the Love of Strange Medicine, never officially released.* 16 - Come On And Love Me (02:27) *Alien Project demo from 1977 under the name "My My My", officially released as a bonus track on Street Talk's 2006 CD reissue.* 17 - Running for love (04:57) *Alien Project demo from 1977 under the name "Makes No Difference", officially released as a bonus track on Street Talk's 2006 CD reissue.* 18 - Special Kind Of Love (03:59) *Alien Project demo from 1977 under the name "Harmony", officially released as a bonus track on Street Talk's 2006 CD reissue.* 19 - Holdin' On (03:19) *Alien Project demo from 1976/77, never officially released.* 20 - Oh Sherrie (karaoke version) (03:50) *As far as I know, never officially released.* To my knowledge, the instrumental version of "Oh Sherrie" and the full version of "Let Him Go" don't yet exist on KZbin, only a truncated version for the latter, which I think would be worth updating. What do you think of it? 😉

I see you're a die hard Perry / JOurney fan. My fav Perry (not Journey) solo tracks of all times are either ''Melody''', which is 6-5-2-3-5flat-2-1 in the verse and 1-6-4-5 in the chorus in Eflat key. Or ''Captured by the moment'' which has progression 6-4-6-5 - > 1-5-3-4 in the verse and pre chorus, and 6-4-4-5-3-4 in the chorus, amazing track. One thing to notice though, to make your list more detailed and accurate, i must add that the demo of "Captured by the moment" i sent you is the real studio demo that has never been released on youtube except by me, you won't find it. What also it makes it very interesting is the fact that the demo of ""CAptured"" i posted here and sent you is in it's original high B minor key. But in official Steve Perry album version "Captured" is half a step lower in B flat minor. Judging by the sound of the album record of the track i assume the track was slowed down after the fact to make it sound more deep and low. I don't know why they did it. Demo version in higher key in this demo sounds much better. Anyways, i got all Journey, Perry, Neal SChon, Greg Rolie albums, these guys were all great. I don't understand why John Cain gets all the flak, i don;t care about his evangelist stuff, nobody is perfect, but John Cain has amazing raw talent, he wrote many hit songs for many artists, not only for Journey. Cain, Perry, Rolie, SChon, there are all equally important o me. Pineda, i can't listne to him. Hi sings very good, but has no soul for me. They Should have stuck with JEff SCott Soto, much more soulful singer even though he's a tenor, not soprano, but who cares. It's not how high you sing, it is how well you sell the song. Pineda God bless him, i don't feel him, does nothing to me..

speaking of John Cain, one of the hit songs he wrote for other artists of the top of my head that pops out right now immediately i can name for example are these two tracks. Cain wrote this track for Loverboy, at least arranged the melody. Mike Reno was a beast on vocals, i place him in top 5 right next to Perry, Mickey Thomas, Jimi Jammison.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqLEY4Kia6d7mpo Cain also did this track for ex UNrully vocalist MArk Free (who later as tragedy has it changed his sex from male to a woman.. sad... goddamn lgbt ideology fucked up brains ) for his new band then at the time Signal ...anyways he/she was amazing singer.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKPLdaCBhcykmbs
