No Singer? No Problem! Journey

Journey is not Journey without Steve Perry......... He made Journey what it is today.......Nobody can replace him!

The reason Steve refuses to come back is the way the band treated him when he was having to make the tough decisions on whether to get hip replacement surgery or not. The band didn't want to wait for him to get better, and offered little to no support to him in his time of need. Steve didn't leave Journey, they left him because they wanted to continue touring and seemingly cared less about the health of their lead singer. Steve Perry, Steve Smith, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon, and Ross Valory made Journey what many of us grew up with, which includes me and I'm only 20. It was that great mix of artists that made Journey famous. They lost a lot when they choose to leave Perry when he needed his bandmates the most. I'm tired of hearing people blaming Perry or the others for the break-up, it was faults on both sides, Perry's fault for not forgiving the band and being stubborn (which I can understand since I wouldn't want to work with people who left me high and dry when I needed their support) and the bands fault for leaving Perry high and dry when he was hurt.

Steve Perry is Journey! JOurney is not the same with out him

IDIOT!
You know what the differnece between Freddie Mercury, and Steve Perry is?
FREDDIE MERCURY IS DEAD!

Steve Perry is to Journey as Freddie Mercury was to Queen. Both incredible and distinct voices that go with their band. Queen lost Freddie and Queen will never be the same no matter who they get to front the band. Journey lost Steve Perry and it doesn't matter if they get a front man that sounds sorta like Perry...it just won't work. Makes you wonder why Journey is even bothering to continue

Steve Perry CHOSE not to jam with Journey anymore. Many bands have replaced members, including singers. Some more successfully than others. Just like you< they do what they gotta do. Musicians wanna play, that's what they do. The new guy sounds pretty damn good to me! And he is young & energetic-which a lead singer should be. Plus the guys rags yo riches story is amazing... I would go see them with the new guy - it works for me. I guess some people are just close-minded... Rock on Journey, rock on!

"JOURNEY" will NEVER live again unless Steve Perry returns as lead singer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry gang but no put down intended to Arnel but no one should be doing Steve Perry's journey tunes but Steve Perry bottom line the problem isn't that us Perry fans don't like other singers many of us have varied taste the real issues is that Steve made the songs hits for journey, by co-writing and singing them, something they couldn't do without him. When journey "moved on" to me was not even the problem really but to move on still peforming Steves material with sound alikes was wrong, mean and disrespectful, if they wanted to continue being Journey with a new singer then write more new songs make them hits don't ride on the coatails of Steve Perry's talent and try and just try to push him out of the minds of people who are too young and misinformed or just tone deaf to not tell the difference! If the band can't fill up the venues without performing the songs Steve made hits then they are just a cover band! I lost so much respect for Neal and Jon, Ross well he was an idiot to start with. Steve is the only one who has never bad mouthed the band or it's members and that is a fact.

I saw Journey with Cheap trick and Heart in Concord last nite. Heart was Awesome they sounded GREAT! As for Journey.... THEY SUCKED!!! I was so upset , actually angry.This lil' twit with the huge headed ego up there be boppin looking and sounding like a really bad karaoke bar without any alcohol. Needless to say we left early and I will never buy anything with the name Journey on it again. Face it guys the ride is OVER! Either get some new songs and start over or quit with the great name you once had.
