Ahh to be young!!

I was playing for a short time this afternoon with a toon, who will remain nameless to protect the innocent, and she made an OWOOOOOO kind of noise and mentioned how funny it sounded. Well, I ALWAYS play without sound (with 4 kids I have noise enough, thank you very much) unless I am in the CJ (or skyping with Josh, Pinky, or Stubby). This afternoon I decided to put in a CD instead of having the quiet. I almost always listen to classical music but decided to have a blast from the past. I told her I was listening to CDs instead of TT noises and she asked which ones. I told her Journey and Boston and she was like "who????". Now I know I am only 25 and all, but I couldnt believe it!! Maybe it is just me, but I thought these 2 groups were timeless!!! Man I feel old!! You know I luv ya bunny but I will be asking!!!

My 17 yr old daughter LOVES Boston. And Yes. And Janis. It's creepy. lol I tried her on Journey but she didn't like it. She found all this herself, so I thought I'd expand on it. I guess since I showed it to her it wasn't as cool.

Wow I am old! Journey and Boston were some of my favorite groups. Of course I was a big Aerosmith fan too!

 

[Trish]

Oh and for the record, she read over my shoulder and LOVES Journey now. And, of course, doesn't remember when I introduced them to her. Gotta love kids!

I am raising very strange kids. They got ME hooked on classical music!!! My 2 sons play cello and my girls play violin (my oldest dgt <16>plays viola also) and the older 2 are really into multiple orchestras. You know something is wrong when your 16 year old requests Vivaldi's concerto number 3 for Christmas!! When I gave her the CD along with a CD of Vivaldi's string quartets she was in heaven!! They look at me like I am totally nuts when I break out some of my "old" music. Oh and Aerosmith was one of my favorites also!!! I should break out the Led Zepplin and see their reaction (and YES that was way before my time but I used to love it)!!!

The beauty thing here is the fact that since some of us are skyping while we play, I had to go buy a headset for the computer. Now I can get on TT, pop in a CD, and put on the headset. My kids can't hear the music so they think I am totally normal now!! And BONUS I dont hear their noise either!! Thanks Josh and Pinky!!!!

Speaking of Journey. Has anyone heard the new singer they replaced Steve Perry with? You can't hardly tell the difference. I can't wait to hear more from them in the future.

 

[Sally Bumblefoot]

Sorry, it will NEVER be Journey without either Steve Perry or Neil Schon!!! Kinda like Van Halen without David Lee Roth. Its just wrong!! Just cant submit to that one!!!! LOL

 

[Ugly Wrinkleflip]

Indeed it will not be the same but I am hopeful that they produce some higher quality then Van Halen Did after David Lee Roth.

All you Van Halen fans don't take this personally. I did enjoy some of the songs but nothing was like the origionals.

Arnel Pineda. You should hear his other covers aside from Journey. They come pretty close too. But I have an untrained ear so others might disagree.

I can't remember how Boston sounded (although I should be old enough to) so here is his Boston cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf-2Rk_uIPU

I came across a blog about him a month ago and googled and youtube'd him a whole night (stalker alert?) during one of my insomnia attacks. He comes from my country which is one other reason for my interest.
