So, Joe Perry has a new singer; David Hull from the old JPP on bass, and it would seem alot of motivation to rip it up. Anyone interested in seeing him this time around? Gene, what's the scuttlebut on set lists? Do you hear anything about some Let The Music Do The Talking or Once A Rocker stuff being aired?

 
I loved the Project back in the day...I saw them at a little dive in Ocean City, MD called the Back Of The Rack & they tore it up..!

I hope they come this way cause I had tix for A'smith before Tyler fell off both the stage & the wagon...

 
His last solo tour never got to happen which was a bummer as he had ex Cry Of Love Audley Freed playing in his road band.

My brother-in-law opened up for The Joe Perry Project here in Columbus at the Agora way back in the day. Joe's mind was a bit cloudy during those times, he couldn't remember what town he was in...

 
I saw David Hull play with another band a couple months ago...

He still looks like he did 20 years ago and can absolutely stilll bring

it bass playing wise...

The 2nd JPP album "I've got the Rock and Rolls Again" is one of my

favorite albums of all time. Charlie Farren also plays in the area, so

if he could throw his lot in two, I would be pretty happy.

 
I liked and still own the first 2 JPP albums and the third had a few good songs. I would love to see JP "pissed off and ready to rawk"!! /emoticons/default_laugh.png

Lil long but some truths, rumors, and what have you too. All the latest interviews with Joe. He is a pretty good interview read at times. /emoticons/default_tongue.png

I have heard quite a few before concert radio interviews with him and I can almost hear him saying these quotes in some of the articles.

Aerosmith maybe be down but they aint out and niether is Joe. The Project IS Joe's Drug of Choice. Wish he'd bring me some of that to FLA!!! /emoticons/default_laugh.png/emoticons/default_laugh.png/emoticons/default_tongue.png/emoticons/default_biggrin.png/emoticons/default_tongue.png

His singer for the project is getting panned and lauded on the fan board for his sometime Steven Tyler like manners, vocally and performance, but he IS a Fan of the band and Billie Perry IIRC, spotted him on You Tube doing an Aero cover. I think Ol'Steven's a lil jealous. /emoticons/default_laugh.png

 
I picked up Have Guitar Will Travel today. Was digging what I saw with the new band on youtube so I figured I'd grab it. I think I'll be listening to it a good bit. I like the singer, even though he's a *little* close to Tyler in a "he sounds like Steven Tyler" kind of way. Nice liner notes in the CD, sort of a Joe talks to the people note. It seems these songs where kicking around for a while and when Tyler fell, JP kicked it into high gear and got this all done and released. I saw JPP twice BITD but the first time I didn't get Ralph Morman and the second time I didn't get Charlie Farren, both whom I thought where terrific. I'll definitely be going to see this tour and might travel. Gene? Road trip?

 
I'll be seeing Joe tear it up at the House of Blues Boston tomorrow night. I was lucky enough to win tickets with a pre-show meet 'n greet from the local radio station on my way home from work last night. It's been a while since my wife and I have been to a concert (3 kids can do that to you) so we're both pretty psyched about it. The Neighborhoods are scheduled to open and I'm looking forward to seeing them too.

Edited to add:

It was a great show in Boston. He came out with a lot of energy and his band sounded pretty tight. I know some people don't care for his voice but I think it's passable and for some songs it's perfect. And his playing was great. I agree that the new lead singer sometimes seems like he's trying to emulate Steven Tyler too much but he's got some decent pipes. Tom Hamilton came out and played on the two encore songes.

He was friendly enough at the meet and greet before the show. We were allowed to bring one item for him to sign so I brought a poster announcing the release of Get a Grip from Stockholm, Sweden (I was working over there at the time). His manager asked about the Swedish on the poster so I explained where it was from. It led to a conversation with Joe about the Vasa museum and the Vasa ship - how well preserved it was, the woodwork, etc. Certainly not what I expected to be talking to Joe Perry about!

Unexpected surprised was being able to make some space for Barry Goudreau to stand at the front rail of the mezzanine next to my wife and me to watch the show.

Just announced December 5th here in St. Pete!! Cant wait! /emoticons/default_blink.png

 
Saw Joe Perry last night at House of Blues in Chicago. I was expecting a half assed show by a tired, worn out rocker. That wasn't the case. . Boy was I surprised. Lots of vitality. Best 'Rock' show I have seen in a long time.

If you have any interest in this music whatsoever... GO!
