      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.

    It is sad that Steve is the only one who acknowledged everyone on stage that night. Neil mentioned Steve but it seemed like everyone else snubbed him. I love that he also thanked and acknowledged Arnel. I will always love Journey but Steve will always be the GOAT VOICE.
    I also think it's sad that when Gregg left because he was tired of touring, it was okay. When Steve left for health and and personal reasons, he became public enemy number one to the band. This is why I will always be a Steve Perry fan! He is humble and kind.

      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.

      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.... 😮😮😮😮😮

      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.
