@PopCulture20 red dress is her signature clothing. the other guy Gregg said he's out, the could not pay him a million dollar wearing dresses. they were used to be a musicians band but became a Steve Perry own band.
I caught the Infinity tour at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Ca. Steve came out on a couple of occasions, but 75% of the concert was just the 4 of them jamming to tunes off of the 1st 3 albums. It would have been amazing to have footage or audio released of that tour.
Neil, Ross and all the guys were cool but Rollie was the problem all along. He resented steve because he wanted to be the singer but couldent cut it on his own.
@DreamScape799 First of all, it's "Rolie". Second, if he was the problem, why did he quit ? It's clear he quit for the exact reason he says here. He was sick of travelling. Most people who aren't musicians don't understand how you can get fed up with being on the road. Well, you can. Doesn't mean you're an asshole or a loser. Geezzz...
@derhandtrommler You gotta love people who don't know what they're talking about. Rolie couldn't cut it? You and I know better. Rolie is a legend and my favorite Journey songs are the ones he and Perry traded vocals on. "Just The Same Way", "Feeling That Way", and "Anytime", to name a few. As good as anything Journey ever did, in my opinion. Santana must have felt Rolie could "cut it" as well.
@derhandtrommler Most of what you say is very true..But Rolie did resent Steve Perry because he had gained more control of the band then Rolie had..But the road is hard on this type of touring
Neil Schon and Steve Perry are brothers, and they do love each other, the problem is that like a family that bickers, forgiveness is hard to do among brothers.

Isn't this proof they belong in the Rock Hall. Who cares what line up they come up with to induct. I'm sure they are smart enough to make it happen (whoever makes those decisions). Put Rollie and Cain both in, who the hell cares. They just need to be recognized for the brilliance they were.
@MusicfaninMO i concur 100% they are my favorite band of all time. I just saw them over the weekend (first time). It was good but seeing them with steve perry would have been epic. They need to be in the rock and roll hall of fame. Bring back steve perry, steve smith hell greg rollie too. Make a great record get back on the charts. Have a farewell tour and walk away when it's over with everyone happy and satisfied.
Ego...Ego...always the f.....Ego. Always the same shit between musicians and singers...The front guy has more attention and the problem starts..Steve changed the original style of journey, but took it to where it would maybe NEVER be without him. Proof of that? They searched a guy who tries to sing like Steve. Why don´t thay go back to their old style then, if it was better???
I was 15 yrs. old. I woke up in the Adams Co Jail west union Ohio. I could barely see a thin blue sliver of sky through the hall window. Someone in the cell next to me had a radio and wheel in the Sky was playing I heard that and somehow knew whatever happened I'd be O.K.
@83ishgirl They said that not because of Perry's talent or lack thereof, which was astronomical, but because they knew his style of singing would change the energy of the band, which had been a very jazzy, progressive rock band into something too mainstream for their personal liking.
Wow it's crazy how similar the stories of journey and Styx are. Both were rockbands that rose to the top with a soft rock ballad. And both guitarists disapproved
Interesting that they totally left out the Fleischmann years and the fact that Robert Fleischmann completed the lyrics to 'Wheel In The Sky'. Nothing about the fact that Aynsley Dunbar left (or was fired) after the 'Departure' album eiother?
Dunbar was fired because he didn't get along with the management, so that is why Steve Smith appears on Evolution. Also, no one wants to hear about a guy who wrote a few songs when there is Steve Perry to talk about!
Journey's a fantastic band. There will never be another Steve Perry, but listen to their new singer Arnel Pineda. He's never gonna be better than Steve, but he's incredible!

Sorrily, Perry's ego caught up with the band. And that is sorrily what was the ultimate problem as evidenced by his remarks throughout this.
