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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

Thanks Donna
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'll tell you what is "enough" for me...this farce being pawned off as Journey.
It is not.
End it.
