Even the older Stever Perry can't compare to the prime Steve Perry. I love SP for sure, but Rick Beato rightly points out that that genre of music will ruin the voice with that kind of schedule Journey was keeping. It isn't anyone's fault it is just the nature of that music.

‘Mother, Father’ is known to have one of the hardest vocals in music PERIOD. The fact that Steve ‘Nailed it’ in one take is unbelievable! And shows his artistic dedication and mastery in using his vocals as an art form. Many people when they first heard the song, didn’t realize that the instrument in parts of the song was actually his VOICE! Great critique and admiration of the best of the best.

My own commentary: it was as if he regretted leaving the band right before Escape. I have to give credit to the songwriting team of Cain Perry and Schon for making it even more epic. The chemistry for the next three albums is undeniable.

The best live shows ever- Steve Perry somehow sounded better live. Neil Schon smoked the guitar and the energy of the band lifted stadium packed crowds.

Professor, considering the actual length of prime activity of the band with Steve Perry as the lead vocalist, Journey's success in the music world is truly phenomenal and its longevity truly remarkable. Without counting the band's practical hiatus and the brief final comeback in 1996, the actual number of years for the band's peak was less than a decade. Can you imagine what kind of monstrous band it would've become had they stayed together another 5 to 10 years and recorded 3 to 4 more studio albums and toured for them? I have very little doubt that they would have become as big or bigger than the likes of The Stones or Zeppelin.

@debbieminton9589 3 жыл бұрын

wow 😯 ... yes, can you just imagine that 🤔 ?? ... that's mind-blowing !! ... they really MIGHT have become bigger than Zeppelin or the Stones with Steve's powerful vocals 🎤 and with Neal's blistering guitar 🎸 solos ... but alas, it was just not meant to be 😕 ...... I'm so thrilled 💜 that Steve Perry has finally come back to us in the last 3 years, once again sharing his amazing Voice and his superb song 🎶 writing/producing talents, and his promise of more new music 🎶 to still come !!! ... he's still successful in his career and seems to have found such happiness 🙂🙂 and peace with life on his own terms ... so, now with Arnel as their lead singer, Journey will continue Steve's legacy, and maybe they will also still have a few more big hits hidden in their arsenal ... I've heard new songs 🎶 from them are also to be released sometime soon ... good things to come from both fronts !!! 💜💜💜🎶🎤🎶💜💜💜

@@debbieminton9589 Yes, the endurance of Journey's popularity is remarkable. But it's not surprising because the fans never could get enough of the music from the band even when they were struggling internally in the 80s. I think the combination and chemistry they had together were simply magical and timeless. While I don't think they'll exactly relive their heyday, I'm sure they will keep the legacy alive for some years to come.

I’ve been heard it said that some consider “Raised On Radio” to be Steve’s “unofficial” 2nd solo album, as he was calling so many of the shots. Bringing on a new Bassist & Drummer that could give him more of an R&B feel and such. Can’t say they’re wrong, it was a bit of a departure (pun intended) from “Escape” & “Frontiers”. It will always be my favorite album as it’s the first Journey album that I dove into head first for the first time. I was certain aware of the other hit songs, especially “Faithfully”, but that album was the first one I’d sit and listen to from beginning to end…then do it again….and again.

There’s a reason that Steve is truly my favorite rock vocalist of all time. His vocals are truly on another level. Goosebump inducing level. I can still remember hearing Wheel in The Sky when it originally came out while I was in college, and how much, even then, I loved his voice. Over the ensuing years and decades, I only came to love it more. He just makes it all look so effortless.

My dad bought all the new Journey albums starting in the early 80's, it was his favorite band then. He also turned me on to bands like Toto, Little River Band too...I was into hard rock and metal back then, but I've always loved Journey! So much so I've seen Journey play live twice with him and my mom.

Journey will always have a special place in my heart. When I was a teenager in the mid-2000s, I was utterly obsessed with them and knew their back catalogue inside-out. I would do godawful covers of their songs on KZfaq when it was still relatively new. 😅 This was before it was cool to start liking 80s AOR bands again, certainly here in the UK, haha. At the time, I was living in a town I hated and longed to move back to my hometown on the other side of the country. When I was 17 I finally had the chance to bail, the first song I listened to on my way there was "Escape" and I still get chills thinking about how alive it made me feel. Thank you Prof for bringing back all those fond memories of one of my big teenage musical loves! ❤️

"Lights" is my favorite Journey song because of a great memory of listening to it while coming off the mountain just outside of our little city. It was a beautiful sight, something that we never even thought of before hearing that song. We just took our surroundings for granted, something I never do now even in the dryness of the Sonoran Desert.

Journey (with Steve Perry) is one of the rare bands that I can listen to entire albums without skipping a song. As a teenager, I'd buy the 45rpm version of hit songs from other bands, but always Journey's albums. They were all hits in my opinion.

I once had the extreme luck of knowing a radio station promotions director who knew I was a Journey fan, she calls me up one day in the mid-nineties and says, "Hey, I have a contest winner who won an hour guitar lesson with Neal Schon would you like to sit in?" I was going to the Hardline show anyways so I said yes. Next thing I'm in a small room with the winner, my friend and Neal. Before the lesson started he was just strumming around on his guitar and I told him what song it was from and then he started a riff and looked at me like I was on Jeopardy (Journey riffs for $2000, Alex) .....uhhhh....."Mother, Father"! He had the biggest grin on his face, like he didn't think anyone would know that. Rock on Professor...by doing what you are doing makes me think of memories I haven't tapped into in years.
