When you see all 3 on stage with Journey:
JSS commands the stage, makes the rest of group look like his backing act. The dude's look and actions are just too solo/star material to be in a group like Journey.
SA lacks that overall confidence, energy on stage. He always seems a bit uncomfortable to my eyes.
Arnel seems a bit reckless, but to my eyes, blends in with the entire band more. Making it a nice fit visually.
Very insightful remarks.
