No he didn't. Friga was a hell of alot more simplistic musically than Rolie. It just so happened that when he came in THAT'S when Journey got HUGE.
The thing is, if Rolie stayed on, only God knows what Escape would have sounded like. It may have been better, and it may have been worse. I have no idea, but when Cain came in, the band became huge commercially. It could have been the same with Rolie, but we will never know. Rolie was immensely more talented than Cain, but he might have not had that commercial appeal. It's anyones guess as to what might have happened. All I know is that we lost the Rolie/Perry duets that I was such a fan of.
I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.
