MR

If you are a true Journey fan, then possibly you can relate to what I am typing here.

First of all, there is no more Journey. The Journey that we all held up our lighters for at the heartfelt music coming from Steve Perry is no more. He WAS Journey. I do not care if Neal Schon and company find 50 more Steve Perry clones, it is not and will not be Journey and they will NEVER find anyone better than Steve Perry.

What we have here are a group of middle-aged men who are trying to get back "the voice" of Steve Perry, and still touring as if they were young adults. That is not going to happen. What they should be doing instead is trying to mend fences with Steve and then they could possibly play smaller venues calling themselves "Journey: The Reunion.”


I was livid to see Steve Augeri and Robert Fleischman at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. Those two men should not have been there. The Journey that earned that star consisted of Steve Perry and bandmates from 1978 to 1997. Steve is the one that brought Journey to fame. Instead, he had to show up on his own. Meanwhile, Neal was STILL trying to use Steve to promote his own agenda.


I have listened to all the Perry "clones" and not once did any of them EVER hit the notes that Steve did, nor do I feel the music anymore. No one can deliver Journey's music like Steve did.

I read on this forum where someone stated that Steve has a deep voice now. If you feel this is true, then you have not heard him singing with David Pack from Ambrosia. Please take a moment to listen to this tune and then come back with the deep voice statement. Steve still has his beautiful tenor hearty voice that no one else can seem to master. This song was recorded in 2005 and judging by the sound of his voice he still has more hits left in him. Trust me, you will know his voice when you hear it.

If and when he decides to release another (hopefully blues) album, Journey will finally be put to rest and exposed as the greedy, self-absorbed middle-aged men currently making up the roster. Grow up guys!

There are few musicians out there who actually get the music and can deliver it. Steve Perry did just that.


Neal, please leave Journey alone and let us have our memories! Don't ruin Journey and it's legacy.


Rest in Peace, Journey.

this other place could be your new home..

Deen was the only one humble enough to state that he had no right being up there for the WOF. The guy in white stated that he was glad that Perry showed up as Perry had just as much right, if not more, to be there as he, Augeri did. The crap that must come back to haunt some people.

I relate.

All they're doing is riding the Journey name for a paycheck. They need that check to survive and the Journey name is all they have to live on.

I thought SP's voice sounded better on the Guff record than it did on David Packs. I like the David Pack song better though.

Amen to that. Either get Perry back or leave Journey alone. That is in fact the BEST option.
Why not start another project and sometimes throw in a Journey song at some gigs?

OR you Loons could just ignore the band and its boards. Perry is retired and only sings BG vox once or twice a year now. Isn't that enough for you?

Boy that really PISSED me off!!!! No one deserved to be there more than Steve Perry. This 'continue the legacy' bullshit is just that... bullshit. I don't knock SA for his role in the band (well, until the end), but for anyone in that band to say something like that...

Anyway, welcome SPFan4ever!! It was a great post, and the sentiments are felt by many of us fellow 'loons' here.

Well, Augie was right. Perry did have just as much right, if not more, to be there. Is that inaccurate? Obviously, he had more right.

While at the You Tube site for the PAck song, came upon the videos from the Hollywood Star Ceremony. Felt so good to see the classic core together. Damn......

It's inaccurate in the sense that Augeri was suggesting that the issue of whether or not Perry had "more" right to be there was open to speculation. Of course, any sane or non-delusional person would know that there is no doubt whatsoever that Perry had more right to be there and that Augeri - who barely had any right to be there at all - should have kept his mouth shut.

Exactly. I would have preferred to see SA in the audience, in a support role for the band, rather than standing up there with them as one who contributed to earning that star. The same goes for anyone else who isn't: SP, NS, JC, RV, GR and SS. Notice I am not including Randy Jackson or Mike Baird, who probably contributed more to the commercial success of Journey than SA did.

Again, I don't discount what Steve Augeri did for the band (kept them going) but when all is said and done, I believe he will be remembered more for the way he exited than for his tenure in the band. And I'm not sure he'll even be remembered for that. Steve Perry will forever be the "voice" of Journey, to all but the most diehard Augeri fans. JMO, of course.

He kept his mouth shut at the end but by then it was too late

Please Journey, STOP already with the lead singers. GO away for awhile. Get some therapy! Whatever it takes...

I was on board for Soto, but looking back on everything that has happened, I give up!

I should have stayed true to my "roots" .....there is no Journey without Perry!

I'm so feeling that same way my friend. I don't want to be this disappointed in them again and the only way to avoid it seems to be to quit expecting anything else from them.

I've been listening to the Street Talk and FTLOSM remasters for the past several days and it's brought back the realization that there really is no one who can sing like Steve Perry. I think I'll just stick with the recorded material I have of the original, and when I get the urge for a night out enjoying a live rendition I'll look up Jeremey and Frontiers.

I guess that's pretty much where I came in on this board 5 or 6 years ago so I guess I could say I've been on a Journey that took me right back to where I started.

At least I got to meet Jeff along the way.

Everyone has a right to make a living and Journey is Neal's to either continue or ruin. You don't have to participate, so nothing will be ruined. Perry's involvement turning one of the band's song into a ridiculous punk piece of shit hurts the legacy as much as touring with a different singer.

THIS right here is what hurts so much about them dumping Soto. Somehow, these mensas have NO idear that with Soto, they brought back Perry fans to the bandwagon. That was invaluable. All gone now. Just insane how blind they are.
