Right, we know this isn't going to happen. But what if on the eve of the European tour, Perry stated he was chomping at the bit (English for being very keen) to join Journey again and said I will join you when your European tour is over, make a new record..tour again..regain past glories etc, What would people at would this board want. Would you:-
1) Stay loyal to Jeff Scott, believing he could take Journey forward..or
2) Cast aside Soto (like Augerri) and hope for a repeat of past glories?
The band would certainly go for Perry as it would mean an excellent retirement.
What are everyone's thoughts. Apologies if this has been asked before.
Come on Soto lovers..the truth.

Personally, if I could be guaranteed that Perry would record 1 more album and tour for 5-6 months to promote it, I would take THAT over 10 years with Soto. Not a knock against Soto, just how much I like Perry.

Well...I believe Jeff himself said that if Steve Perry ever wanted to re-join, he would step aside for him. (I think I read that somewhere)
I believe that Jeff is the type of man that would do just that. I think he respects the legacy of this band that much (and that includes the magic that was the Perry-era). JMO.

I think Jeff's great, I'd still follow his career, as I'm sure he'd still have one, but I'd have to go with Perry.

Regardless of WHAT happens, and I think I speak for just about everyone, you've made a ton of fans AND friends for life. You're the complete package....talented, honest, gracious, outgoing and fan-friendly. For that, I thank you and wish you nothing but the best as you pursue your career with Journey.

Good answer!

No brainer, 2 extremely talented frontmen. Still trying to figure out how I have been so blessed as to meet them both within a year......never that lucky. Both seem to be very down to earth, humble guys. Now in a perfect world, we'll hear more from Steve and Jeff will add the Boogie Nights medley into every setlist

.......actually on second thought, not so sure I can see Ross and Neal pulling that off quite like Gary and Howie.

LMFAO, especially the bootie shakes.....
BTW, how goes it JGal?
