      If you listened to Steve's last solo LP, you'd hear that his range has dropped about an octave and a half, since his time in Journey. Unless he's planning on using some fancy pitched-up note-matching autotune effects while he sings, there's simply no way he can ever sing the hits of Journey again. It's time to let go of this fantasy some of us have for a triumphant Perry return.

A step and a half is pretty low too, I heard him sing from some video online dated from about 2 years ago, and he is not even a step down. I am not saying he can hit all the notes he was hitting 30 years ago, but an octave and a half is a lot, take your piano, guitar or bass play a note, and go an octave and a half lower, and you will hear a huge difference.

      sorry but journey never broke into superstardom until there ESCAPE ABLUM (where cain joined the band). so you might say. BIG DEAL, so he joined the band and played some keyboards. well, he may be the chief songwriter behind journey's biggest hits. it seemed to me more than half their biggest hits had keyboards as major part of the song (faithfully, don't stop believin, who's cryin now, etc). now, if cain didn't write any of the music, then I would agree with you. but I think he probably did. he wasn't the last one to put his mark on the song (a song that was mostly complete except for the keyboards). I think he was often the first. but I love schon. I am a guitar player. and there is no doubt he is a great songwriter to. but he's rock n roll. perry and cain where more of the POP rock type. very different. and I would say the pop rock focus is what pushed them to the top and kept them there.

    What if Cain, Castronovo, Vallory, and Steve Perry got back together, teamed up with a great guitarist (who wasn't Neil Schon), and attempted to form a new band with a Journey-Esque sort of feel, with different songs. Not re-performing the old orig. stuff, but new stuff. Just breaking off from Journey altogether, to find a more cohesive sound, built with a familiar sort of brotherhood, and mutual respect towards each other? Anyone out there remember when some of the band member of Boston, went in together & created the band RTZ (Return to Zero CD)? Yes I know it was 1 album (I think, it was 1 that was put out anyway). Even though it didn't work out long term, it was still pretty awesome to listen to, I still have the cd somewhere. Over the years, it seems that the common problem has been Neil Schon, so maybe take him out of the equation, go back to basics. Hell maybe if not Cain or Castronovo, then what about Dunbar or Rolie? I've always thought it would be so freaking cool, to have the best of the best form a band, make new albums, & see how it would sound with a little bit of everything. Yes, I'm a Gen X'r, and YES, I MISS the original music. But maybe if they were to form something new, by putting egos and bygones aside, I would be so intrigued on what that would sound like. Just my 2 cents & thoughts. Thanks for the vid

    I’m a huge Journey fan and have been for decades. I’ve always respected and appreciated the incredible talent in the band. But Neal’s reputation has preceded him for as long as I can remember. Some people just have a tough time handling fame. At this point in time, it shouldn’t affect my opinion of him or the band. But sadly, it kinda does. Like Don Henley and so many others, there comes a point when you have to stop and ask yourself, how much more money or notoriety do I really need? They shouldn’t have anything more to prove. Just enjoy your success and your place in music history. Chill the hell out and be a decent person. But I guess that’s too much to ask from him.

    I really hope it's true that every single time one of the songs Perry co-wrote is used live, he gets a cut. Dunno if that's true but hope so. It's more than fair as a cowriter and it was Perry's magic that rolled in the millions. He left and took the light with him. Can't believe these guys are in their 60s, 70s or whatever and spend their time bickering. (And Schon's face wtf he looks like an alien - just sayin' Perry is natural and still a handsome guy. He's well out of the mess).

You may have a shot with Journey being good or not depending on the night and how pissed they are at each other. Def Leppard will make up for it all I promise you that much
