Thanks for posting.

Now we can finally get some new Journey. It’s been A DECADE! Same time as between ROR and TBF!

I'm sure it reads something to effect of... "Sorry Ross and Smitty... Over time, cooler heads prevailed, and here's a lot of $ and "X" % of future concert revenues for you two to kind or go away and let Jonathan and I can do whatever we want to under the name Journey. That said, you can use Journey or specifically former-Journey in any self-promotion." Love, Neal and Management :D

As soon as it said Ross and Smitty wish Journey continued success I knew they got a % pay....which is all they ever really wanted anyway!

This is how it was always going to play out. I think the pandemic actually helped this situation as the only messiness that could have come out of it was two versions of Journey on the road as everyone in the Nightmare Inc partnership claimed to have rights to the name and likely did. Valory and Smith could have grabbed other players and gone out and really made a mess of thing until this had time to go through the court system.

At the end of the day, the band is a business and you can't deprive someone of the value of a partnership. Valory and Smith were bought out with cash or future earnings of the band. On paper a very simple process, personally and emotionally, not so much.

Smith and Valory could barely be bothered to learn new songs or rehearse. Not remotely in the realm of possibility.

If people actually looked up the case they would see there was a ton of back and forth. Herbie did a deposition and there is this line, he must not be doing very well:
ORDER RE EX PARTE APPL TO PRESERVE THE TESTIMONY OF DEPO OF WALTER HERBERT DUE TO PRECARIOUS HEALTH

This was a deposition in support not striking parts of Ross's cross complaint:

DECLARATION OF WALTER HERBERT FILED RE: ISO OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS MOTION AND SPECIAL MO ION TO STRIKE FIRST AND SECOND COA

It would be nice to be able to view more documents...but this is a link to the details...

As long as there is money to be made, lawsuits like this one are going to continue to be brought, and settlements continue to paid out. The details and arguments may be unique, but the end result is always the same.

Certain people get paid to just go away.

Well, first Valory and Smith are still on Nightmare's board...at least they haven't filed a change. So, they have not gone away. Neal and Jon took them to court partially because they thought they wanted to be paid for doing nothing. According to you, they settled and are paying Ross and Steve for doing nothing. Seems to me that Journey is paying for their retirement anyway.

Ahh so you think after all this, Neal and Jon are going to be asking Valory and Smith their opinions on how a chorus should sound, or how many lights to use when they tour? Okay.

Bands pay guys to shut up and get out of their way all of the time, whether they remain part of the administrative structure or not. See: Eagles, Don Felder.

No, and I doubt they were ever asked to contribute in that way.

Thru Nightmare, Smith and Valory have the ability to tell Journey how many lights can be used on tour.

That's not what happened. Neal took them to court because he felt they were trying to take over Journey by being placed on the board at Nightmare....and trying to fund retirement without doing any work. So, now they are on the board at Nightmare and, according to you, getting paid by Journey to do nothing. It was a huge waste of time.

You keep saying Neal took them to court, as if Jonathan doesn't exist. If nothing else came out of the lawsuit other than new music, it's a win.

From what I understand, Perry's deal with Journey to get % of albums and tours has run out. So, I am surprised Perry doesn't do one new song with Journey with the conditions he gets % of future albums and future tours. I guess Perry has enough money. So, I am starting to think we will never see another Perry tour because that is where they money is and Perry seems to have enough money.

Perry is 70something years old. He can release an album whenever he wants on Frontiers, or any label like that. He simply doesn't need Journey for anything. There was never going to be another Perry tour with Journey because Perry doesn't want anything to do with the band.

Is it possible that Perry's % has bottomed out but not ended? Either way, he has no need nor desire to work with Journey. He has been very smart with investments and business decisions. He will forever be tied by the music they created. And he can be creatively happy without them.

The Elmo deal was posted here once before that described this. He got a certain % of album and tours for each album, and it went down after each. I thought it read something like "...and %13 after the third album." So, I think you are right but it would take looking up that agreement to be sure.

Either way, he has no need nor desire to work with Journey. He has been very smart with investments and business decisions. He will forever be tied by the music they created. And he can be creatively happy without them.


Exactly....if he was going to do it, it would have happened already.

Perry's % with the new albums may have run out. However, with touring, he still gets paid "like a motherfucker" (to quote Neal).

There will never be another Perry concert or tour at all ever, solo or with Journey. If he had any interest in doing any kind of live show then he would have a couple years ago when he was making the media rounds pushing Traces.

I am starting to agree with you. The last year would have been perfect if Perry wanted to do something. He could have done a full concert in an empty concert hall somewhere and recorded it and had a special on some channel or streaming or something. When people were stuck at home all year, they were starved for entertainment. A new Perry concert might have went over big. This is just further proof Perry doesn't want to tour or do anything like that.

ummm....I beg to differ. He got right back into his stride after 1 show. The fact that he did 3 of them was incredible. If Perry thought his voice was trash, he would have NEVER had done any of them. And yes, he did sing them WELL. And DO NOT FORGET, that he did the spontaneous song on the red carpet at the NEED FOR SPEED premiere in 2014. And I and 200 others heard him live, acapella in Rhode Island at the breast cancer event, in 2019. He was so SMOOTH, with no roughness in his voice, AT ALL.

Didn't he do 3 songs with Eels at each show? Using basic math, he's performed 11 songs live in almost 30 years. Not really the strongest case that he is going to tour someday. It's over.

Oh good grief. The guy did a multi-week media tour during the launch of Traces. At any one of those interviews, he could have done a live song under the most controlled and preferred circumstances for him to sound his best. He did none.

It's just amazing that people can't see what is right in front of their eyes.

He sounds great for someone who's 70 years old and I thought his voice was good on Traces but let's be real, I can't see him attempting an entire Journey song or even his earlier solo work at this point without tuning it down so far that it sounds bad.

If Perry thought his voice was trash, he would have NEVER had done any of them. And yes, he did sing them WELL. And DO NOT FORGET, that he did the spontaneous song on the red carpet at the NEED FOR SPEED premiere in 2014. And I and 200 others heard him live, acapella in Rhode Island at the breast cancer event, in 2019. He was so SMOOTH, with no roughness in his voice, AT ALL.


Didn't he do 3 songs with Eels at each show? Using basic math, he's performed 11 songs live in almost 30 years. Not really the strongest case that he is going to tour someday. It's over.


Sorry TNC. I WASN'T responding to the comment that he would not tour again. If he had wanted to do anything live, he would do YT live. I was responding to the comment that his voice was supposedly bad and that he can't do one entire Journey song. I was there for the event in RI and he did the entire OPEN ARMS song and he sounded great. That's all I was saying/replying/responding to.

It's just amazing that people can't see what is right in front of their eyes.
