Yes but Herbie was not "management". Herbie built that fkn band and put the guys together that worked to generate the best music of our lifetime. Herbie was the guy that listened to Perry from the chicken coup, gave him a shot and managed him to stardom. Perry would have never gotten the gig without Herbie.
So talk about management being management. Herbie built that fkn band, had the vision, the discipline and the resolve to take that band from shite to the best ever. Neil Schon knows this point blank. If that's management, have at it.
What it is is this, Herbie built that band, the brand, and the sound, the record names, he had the vision. And now he's management? No, he built the fkn band and Perry would be no-one without his help. So talk your fire, rehire shit. It's clear you don't know the history of the band or Herbie's impact. Carry on

Perry was the absolute best male vocalist on the planet. However, as a person, opinions vary. How you can roll out on the dude that got you the deal is a question, someone should ask him.

Herbie Herbert, who was Journey’s original manager, passed away in October. You stayed in touch and friendly with him, didn’t you?
Perry: For about the last year and a half I was in touch with him, yeah. We had some of the greatest conversations. He changed my life. He gave me a chance. He heard my demo tape and believed in me, and his wish was to convince the band, Journey, to give me a chance to prove myself worthy and they gave me that chance. He saw that they needed something and convinced them I was that something. In one of those recent conversations, about four months ago, he said, “All I can tell you is when I heard you sing with that band, it was instant chemistry.” I’ll forever be indebted to Herbie Herbert.

People change management, disagree with management ALL THE FREAKING TIME in the music industry! Fire, re-hire, back stab, play nice. It SEEMS as if the time they spent apart and in contact/communication with each other was enough to perhaps to heal old wounds for BOTH of them. For you, not so much perhaps? Anyway, Herbie is dead and the world has moved on.
