By the way, again, that comment shows your ignorance on the matter.
Perry claims to have had a serious hip problem. I have always had my doubts that there ever was a serious hip problem. But it's possible that he did.
But even if he did have the hip problem he needed to decide what to do. Get surgery, do rehab, or leave the band. But no, he had to refuse to do something about the alleged hip problem. He had to flush the publicity that Trial By Fire had gained the band down the toilet by wasting the rest of the bands time and money. Perry was trying to act once again like Journey was his band and that the rest of "his" band should wait until he was ready, if that day were to ever come.
The whole "don't fracture the stone" line was possible the most arrogant statement that Ive ever heard any musician make. It's like if one of the guys who joined Billy Joel's band after he had had his first 3 albums out already had told Billy Joel that he should only continue on with his band, after that guy was let go from the band, if he called it something else.
