I am so so so agree with you 😂❤❤❤

Never a truer word spoken

True

there is already.. his name is Arnel Pineda..it doesnt mean that Steve is not deserving but he is the founder of the Journey and Arnel Pineda is the one that continue his legacy until now and made The Journey LIve longer..

Deadassssss

sound alikes

I just saw the person who has replaced him. He has been with Journey for 16 years. I am not impressed by his singing.

Or Neal’s playing. The 2 best members of that band.

Steve Smith also

Steve mentioned him too

Oh yes he is!

@Phil Olivieri....that was classy of him to do that ! Arnel has been rock solid for Journey!! 👍

@@patd1956 yes he did. All other members of Journey didn't mention Arnel even as a side note

That was the loudest the audience got. The others didn’t get this kind of reaction as Steve Perry did. Amazing.!!!

Amen--the greatest

Without Steve Perry there wouldn't be Journey

​@@mireyarodriguez4490 or Ross Valery and Steve Smith

The best Malé voice ever no doubt about MR STEVE PERRY

He was and is surely the real deal! We need a reunion with him and have Gregg Rollie as Co Keyboardist!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉Only one that was in the Best of Journey ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ 😊😊😊😊

The way the audience reacted when Steve Perry started walking towards the mic. Crazy loud!!

you don't know without Arnel, officers in Hall of Fame would not recognize journey twice.

GALAXY USER1 N what are you talking about?????

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Journey was well on their way to the RRHOF without that karaoke singer Pineda.

GALAXY USER1 N Journey was inducted because of their work in the late 70s, 80s, and mid 90s. Arnel has contributed to keeping the music alive but he had nothing to do with Journey's induction, and Arnel knows it. He appreciates his role.

I agree with you. He brought the success to Journey. Without Steve Perry. Journey was just an average band

Without Steve people without Steve there is no journey. There is no band the new lead singer. He's like a kid. He's good. His voice is good but he's not. Steve, there's nobody that comes even compared to Steve. Steve was Steve this pisses me off. It really does you know. Journey is awesome! Great band. Great videos MTV the time you know. Oh my god I wish he would go back. He just made another album. Steve Perry did. It's just I guess he couldn't get along. Neil schon i's just stuck on himself Well seems Neil did make the band. He came from Santana 1973. I don't know. I just I love the music. Great music never dies

I noticed that, too! I was reading her lips, and she is 1,000% correct!!!

Thanks for pointing that out - I hadn't noticed that before. Who is she, and moreover, who is that guy with that look on his face??

It is a collaborative effort that got them in. Without Herbie Herbert Steve Perry may have remained an unknown. And Steve Perry without Journey isn't as good. Without Journey there would probably be no Steve Perry

​@phelpsmarc there would have been a Steve Perry, someone would have discovered him... no doubt about that

Kevin S I was screaming, shaking and hysterical when he got up there! Steve = Journey

Hell yeah!

Steve Perry is JOURNEY

Your all right...STEVE PERRY 👍🏻

Absolutely!

Steve Smith mentioned Arnel first.

Well said !

He just did what was right. Arnel Pineda won his place in the band rightfully.

@@phoenix8498 everyone doesn't do what's right. I truly respect Steve for honoring Arnel. It warmed my heart to see those two pictures of them together, they respect each other, and Steve Perry is a class act, so is Arnel.

@@slamecatzwell5544 That's correct, my friend.

There was a journey before Perry

there is no genius without suffering

GOD GIVEN TALENT ALL OVER THAT STAGE ❤🎉

I was raised on Journey and raised my children on them too!!!

James Hostler and his songwriting. He wrote and co-wrote majority of the hit songs.

Jesse Lee Son Nice try. Well, Schon/Cain sure as hell haven’t written any great songs since Steve Perry left-no major hits. Steve Perry is also a drummer and plays bass, and is also great at arranging songs and producing. He produced both Greatesr Hits Journey albums after leaving the band. He has a great ear too, in addition to the songwriting. Steve Perry’s solo work is really amazing while Cain’s and Schon’s solo albums suck or are very average. So, no Schon/Cain did not play a larger role in the songwriting process-total hyperbole. Cain is no songwriting genius keyboardist like David Paich.

And some of Arnel's fans were heckling Steve during his speech. If not for Steve, and his songwriting ability, and his incredible voice, Arnel would not even have a job.

Amy Lacher you sure????????

@@TheLovesGreen what job.!!! this is a team band.fuk u

Kura...fuk u?? What is that to mean?? Not that it should be spelled that way! Obviously you have no class with language as such lol, Amy ignore these asses👍🏻

Crayon 9, go back to your crayons , either your too young to know or your just DUMB!

❤ I AM 73 and I still love Steve perry ❤❤❤❤ been there from the beginning ❤❤

Can't say enough Steve you are the best!

😂😢😂🎉🎉❤❤

I absolutely agree, there wouldn't even be a Journey if it wasn't for the amazing Steve Perry. And Arnel Pineda is doing a wonderful job as well.

perry may be a class act , but he had aynsley dunbar fired. he thought aynsley was overpowering his voice. go figure

How many of those people were conceived with Journey playing in the background?

🥰🥰🥰

Really? If he had humility, he would have rejoined the band after the hip replacement.

But steve perry fans are not humble enough to accept journey has a new singer. I hope his diehard fans follow perry's humility

@@broadstreet21 the band lrt hom go ok, he didn't quit.

broadstreet21 he told the band that he wouldn’t go back if they toured under the Journey name without him. He asked them not to crack the stone because he was definitely getting hip surgery, so blame Schon/Cain, especially Cain because he’s the one who talked Neil into replacing Steve and going on tour as Journey with Steve Augeri.

@@broadstreet21 How could he have? Surely you know that Schon and Cain got tired of waiting for him to get the hip replacement and moved on with a tour without him. They hired Steve Augeri. Even.if offered, Perry would not have accepted after that betrayal.

Steve Perry put Journey on the map. His voice brought the music out. It's very unfortunate how he was treated to leave the band. Arnel knows the words. But he is not able to bring Perry's emotional voice to the songs. I'm happy to see Steve is sharing his voice once again. He is the best ever. Journey needs to look at themselves and see why they didn't keep Steve with just patience. Who's crying now.

True if not to arnel journey no more so thanks tk arnel pineda

Steve was a member of that original road crew. Herbie knew the drummer/singer was not working out and had Steve hired as a roadie with the intent to move him into the lead singer role. He has fond memories of being a roadie because his boss was of Portuguese decent as well.

@@janebeatty9472 This isn't true. Perry was never a roadie. Manager Herbie Herbert brought him on board with the story that he was roadie John Villanueva's Portuguese cousin. This was a try out and introduction without upsetting current lead singer Robert Fleishman, who was not working out. The introduction was successful and Perry was hired as lead singer. His thanks to his road crew were genuine, but not because he was ever one of them.

@@amylacher5636 I believe what I said is true and partially backed up by what you are saying. Steve was a member of that roadie crew, albeit short lived.

There is no Journey without Steve Perry...

Amen

Don't tell that to the other guys ....with the exception of Aynsley Dunbar

@@ysaminmanabilangmocamad8583 he must be backstage during this moment!

And? What you really want to say?

💯%. Girl, there wasn't a inch of space on my br walls, that wasn't graced by Steve!!☺😂😁. My mom only tolerated it, because she thought he was a good singer 👏 👏👏 The songs were the soundtrack to my 1st boyfriend, 1st heartache, high school...

Pineda's voice was equally captivating, probably even more powerful.

Steve has had time with "god inside" that is obvious. Steve, I believe understands WHO he is: Love and Loved, DEARLY.

You should check out Steve’s new solo album. He can’t wail the high notes anymore but the man can still sing and the songs are nice.

@@amostlyreasonableguy I won't love again is my favorite.

Me to

And his never in people's top 10 rock vocalists he has such a beautiful voice

@@amostlyreasonableguy - so true (although i never thought steve was the greatest ever just because of his high notes) i LOVE his neve album - especially "no erasin" and "we're still here".

The album it's feakin' amazing!

Agreed!

Agreed!

Agreed!

@@tracyg8772 All you all chill cause that is a fake SP... an imposter.

Steve Perry is Journey !!

May Melodz yes. For Steve Perry does Class Act unlike his former band members who kicked him to the curb

I love steve too; but don't forget, it was steve perry who fired ross valory and steve smith at one point. - on "behind the music" steve said it was one of his biggest regrets.

May Melodz wow thanks to you,w/out Arnel journey will be @ its END,anayway thanks for giving arnel a break

That is the utmost respect!

Exactly he was classy right there of all people he was the one who remembered from one great singer to another. Luv you Steve!!!

i think that's the norm.... for the members of a highly successful band getting pissed at their front man for leaving at the height of their success. Steve, Peter Cetera (Chicago), Lionel Richie (Commodores), etc. cos, they perceived as soon as their key to success left, so did their hot streak.

Great comment!

I, too, noticed the guys didn't acknowledge Steve, but he acknowledged all of them. Therefore, he out shined them all!! I know who Steve of Journey, but couldn't tell you any of the others.

You should check out his new Steve Perry solo album he finally put out. It’s worth a listen.

two guys mention arnel pineda around 7 minutes

steve smith mentioned him!!!!

@@mccartney2 arnel performed

@Brenda Ao-as he performed

Arnel Pineda is a great great singer and there is not enough room in this post for me to talk about that particular point. However, Arnel Pineda did not make Journey an all time great band. At the end of the day, it is Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Steve Smith, and Ross Valory. Pineda was brought in to give Journey one last run and he has done wonderful. Pineda is an all time great because he is a phenomenal talented singer...

No one 'took their punch at Steve'. There was nothing but love on that stage that night.

Steve made Journey. Arnel saved it.

By the way its not a slap to perry alone but to all americans.... The band is only using arnel just to grind gold to accessorized their teeth.... And one thing more perry cant sing anymore just like before,,,, i think he felt that he was about to lose his voice thats why he left not only the band but the industry as well,, as what i have observed the way he sang on his recorded video, no more steve like the Steve before that's why you americans always keep on saying no steve no journey , he is legendary he has contributed that legacy already just to keep him because you cant accept that there's a lil guy that could be able to bring back the band to the music world and to the music lovers.... 😮😮😮😮😮

@@chrisdanielsanchez6317 well said. Thank you Arnel Pineda for saving this band.

Karen a They always said they wouldn’t make it in because the critics hated their music. We fans did not let the critics win.

No he is not Because Paul McCartney is still and making and composing and singing

Yes

Yes. Even younger generation

He's not an original band member, get over it!

He should appreciate the fact that he's getting paid to cover a former Journey member's songs. Which is exactly what he was doing before Journey. The fact that he gets to make millions by singing another person's songs should be enough. Sure he's helped keep Journey going, but beyond that what has he really done to contribute to their success. City Of Hope is the only somewhat success that's he's helped contribute to the band. Besides that his entire tenure with Journey is just him singing Steve's songs. He should be happy that he was even mentioned at all.

@@tonjamarsjall3802 Get over what?

Jams 76, Neal mentioned Steve and told him he is one in a million. The other members didn't mention Steve, but they didn't mention each other either.

Auntie...ROTFL

Wheels 216, I 2nd that comment!!

You know, I kind of wished they both were on the band together.

Great comment. I was there and felt there was nothing but love between all of them that night.

luanna rascon .. your so right.. Steves voice was the band it felt so good to see them all together again.. I wish Steve would have sang

Yes Herbie hit the powerball with his decision to add Steve as the frontman of Journey and the rest is history. Journey Hall of Fame forever just Don't stop believing.

Journey On one in 7 billion singer.

@@stevealdrich6128 Steve showed so much class when he was talking about Herbert and that demo tape. I am pretty sure the thought of them not wanting him to join was on his mind. I am pretty sure that was a tight moment for Rolie because he was one of the main people who didn't want Steve. So glad Steve was too classy to call them out.
