@heapner I think the drummer had loyalty to Steve,he wanted no part of the Neal and Johnathan trying to replace with a person trying to sound like Steve Perry ..5 think he is a class act myself
@heapner He did an ok Job ..But he was no Steve Perry.But then for me no one can.. I am a true Perry Fan. It is the same as Ronnie Mcdowell singing Elvis .The voices are so distinct that no one can nor should try to be them.IMO
Steve Perry - ''Don't fracture the name Journey"...
Quote. But Neal and Jonathan believed there had been a Journey before Steve Perry and there could be one after him.End quote.
Funny how if Neil & Jonathan said there could be a Journey after Steve, they have ultimately just hired a Karaoke singer who can IMITATE STEVES VOICE, only to try and maintain the Journey Steve created- hence thee voice of Journey, so there actually is no NEW Journey after Steve, just a plastic hash job.

I think they all used each other. Steve Perry was used because he had that golden voice that could sell records. Jon Cain was used because he could be the bad guy when the situation called for it. Herbie Herbert used everyone (except Neil Schon) under the guise of being a "hippie" so he could make himself rich. (Read two interviews Herbert has done. They're available online.) Typical show business dynamics.
Former member Greg Rolie saw the writing on the wall aeons ago.
Got mad when Neal said "I called people that wanted to work" implying that Steve didn't want to work, which was not the case at all. He could NOT work. There's a big difference. If only they had heeded to Steve's suggestion of going on doing whatever but leave Journey alone, they could have made it work. I don't even follow the new group of Journey, there was & will only be one true Journey!
Why Jonathan always do the dirty job? Why? He delivered the firing message to Herbie Herbert. and he also dropped the bomb that the band will be replacing Steve Perry on Steve Perry's face...
Why? Why? Neal Schon should instead do it because he is the founder..
Why was Jonathan always given the burden of making the tough phone calls - the dirty jobs? At least with him, you sense he cared and struggled to cope with it all. Neal - A complete emotional void....
Steve Perry - ''Don't fracture the name Journey.Don't crack the stone. Go out and do whatever you want to with whomever you want to and call it whatever you want to but leave Journey alone.''

It is a fact that Journey had more hits and a bigger fanbase when Steve Perry was lead singer.
If I remember rightly Mr Cain there was a Journey before you also.
@eljay345 I agree completely. Jonathan Cain came in right before "Escape". Before that he was with the Baby's. There had been a Journey before Jonathan Cain, so it's a good thing nothing happened to him, or he would have been replaced also. But who would Neil Schon have to deliver the bad news?
There is a huge difference in Jonathan Cain when he's interviewed by himself and with Neal Schon. He praises Steve Perry when interviewed alone but when he's interviewed with Neal he degrades Steve just like Neal does because in my opinion that's what he thinks Neal expects him to do.
I've never heard Steve Perry say an unkind word about Herbie Herbert or any of the current or former members of that band.
@thisislandearth Neal would most probably manipulate Arnel into delivering the ''bad news'' to Jonathan.
Arnel Pineda would most probaby do anything for Neal because he's the one who saw his video on YouTube and brought him to the USA and out of poverty!!!
There's an interview I've seen where Arnel keeps looking at Neal like he's scared of saying the wrong thing. Neal actually answers certain questions for Arnel.He treats him like a child who can't answer for himself.

@df041278 Steve and the drummer were the logical ones in the group then. I have to say though Steve Augeri did a great job.

The band member did not care about Steve at all. He can not go back to Journey. You must go where you are wanted not stay where you are unloved.

In my opinion Steve Perry's singing voice got better with age.
His raspy/husky voice on One More is amazing.
