In three words:
He loves Steve.

I'm assuming he loves the voice and can't stand the person. I don't think you can find a worse bandmate from 1984-1998. 14 years, 2 mediocre albums, one mediocre tour and lots of stalling to mask a broken voice and an emotionally fragile man.

You think he would ever reform with SP if he wanted to sing again?

Obviously mega money in his bank accounts, obviously happy doin what he's doin or not doin, and i would imagine the very last thing he wants is to be involved with 2 mega egotistical pricks called Schon and Cain again. End of...

Now that the back catalog is being re-released by Sony in Europe and Australia, there just isn't any reason for Perry to embarrass himself by getting on stage trying to sing 25 year old songs with a 60 year old's voice.
No one is going to disassociate him with Journey. With the band's inability to get the casual fan interested in their new music, it just will never happen. Band member #6 is in it for the long haul, regardless of who is currently replicating him on stage.
The band and Perry are both doing what they want to do. They are playing, he is sitting home and they are all getting paid for material they created over two decades ago. Everybody's happy.

I don't know. Steve sounds sad a lot to me in interviews having never performed live but one tour since 1987. Whether with Journey or solo not peforming, I think he misses it on some level horribly at times, the intense feeling you get from a live audience responding to you and doing what you loved.
Gunbot wrote:I think he might have had ideas of coming back during the Augeri years when the bar was extremely low and it could be the sadness you heard in his voice may have been him lamenting his own vocal limitations at that time.
However, since the resurgence of DSB, i think Steve sounds really comfortable during his interviews. One reason may be that after all these years, he getting verification that people still associate him with Journey and he is getting the accolades without having to go out there and perform and put out a product. I think he feels no pressure at all, now that he realizes that he can live off of his past success. Where the band may be resigned to that fact, Perry may actually be embracing it.

I don't believe that missing something badly will make you go for it. It's like riding the biggest rollercoasters in your youth was your favorite thing to do - but now you got older, your back hurts and you can't do that anymore. You miss it like hell, but you know that you'll get hurt if you get on that hell ride. Just sayin'.

That is of course, when he's not busy working in his garden or whatever else he does now days.

No. He just needs to throw caution to the wind and release that album he's been working on even if he doesn't want to sing live to publicize it. Why waste all that time and energy and never release it. It doesn't make sense to me. He can get some kind of record deal on it.

Do people really think a new album is coming from Nostrildamus?
