People love to mention that Journey made music and albums before Steve Perry joined the band. They failed to see that the albums went Nowhere. Until Steve’s magnificent,Powerful ,Soulful vocals took over as the lead singer of this Band. Yeah the band did exist but it didn’t really become famous until Steve Perry joined them. Why can’t people just expect that Steve really did make these guys rich and famous. All of them are talented but it’s Steve who was the money maker for the band. It’s still in 2024 his songs and sound and Style that’s copied. Give Steve Perry his so much earned respect and credit that he so rightfully deserves 💯💯🎼🎶🎤👍👍🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
There never was a Journey when Steve Perry left. They were all great, but Steve`s voice was so freaking amazing. GOAT!!!!!! You can't deny it.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Steve Perry is one of the best voice in rock music great song writer. Steve Perry has made journey more famous than ever before n Journey is not the same anymore without Steve Perry journey Neil schone is one of the greatest disrespectful person in music if he had any respect for Steve Perry he would call him and sit down talk to him n apologize n ask him to come back in the band. I love you Steve Perry.😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹
Steve brought a lot to the table and has delivered beautifully. Its all a very well-played life of fulfillment in all directions. I am happy for his happiness. He has given a lot to this world.
Journey with Steve was one of the best that ever existed. He is and remains the voice and he also had this charisma and an incredible stage presence. The harmony of his voice with Neal's guitar, it was perfect. Without him it's not the same for me anymore, it's a shame that it fell apart.
There will never be another Steve Perry!! Watching this documentary, I humming to the song SEPERATE WAYS which Steve and Journey went their seperate ways!! Steve Perry, a wonderful human being and an amazing voice!! THANK YOU for sharing your voice all over the world. You are a true legend ❤
Steve Perry is amazing! I am the daughter of Portuguese immigrants from the Azores, and found out back in the 1990's that we are distantly related. So proud! He is and deserves to to be honored for his amazing voice and contributions to the history of popular music.
Steve obviously lived his music and wasn’t about money and him walking away because he lost his passion proves that an that is one trait that most don’t have an would never do it’s not always about the bread ❤
Steve Perry is one of the Greatest Singers of All Time he's definitely in the Top 3 & easily in the Top 5 . He's a once in a lifetime they only come around once he's a legend without him journey is nothing i saw journey 4x all with Perry when you mention journey its Steve Perry & the Original Members with Greg Rollie
I'm in the same age group as Journey. 1st time I saw them was on Midnight Special, they were introduced as a new band from San Francisco. They performed Wheel In The Sky and I was impressed by the singer hitting notes no one else could, he could wail! I think the reason he no longer sings is not even Steve Perry can sing like the Steve Perry of those days. Age and the strain his voice had to endure takes a toll. I think he may be the best male singer ever and the live concert in Houston may be the best live album ever.
The man's voice truly is the GOAT! I do find it interesting that this article never mentions his physical battles with hip pain as a major reason for his departure. So sad how it all ended, but he had to do what was best for him. Yeah, Journey moved on, but they're just not the same without Steve Perry. Kudos to all the leads who've tried, tho.
Being Portuguese too, (my great grandparents were also from the Azores), it amuses me that he is also Portuguese. Portuguese people are funny that way, we have a lot of pride in being Portuguese. Great Singer.
I understand why he left, but Steve? You need to.do it for you, you paid your talent for Journey, its your turn now , to do, it get you, you have nothi g prove to anyone anymore,your talent is a gift.🎉 Well done Steve
I loved steve i was a kid in 1973 i was 18 years old listened to the band every day after high school in long island when he left i cryed every day i had a break down went to hospital for months my dad new that had a breakdown never got better till i was 50 yrs old or earlyer
After almost 18 years being with Journey, Arnel Pineda has admitted he hadto fill in some big shoes! But he is a survivor & also admitted he loves & has high respects for Steve Perry & if he wanted to go back ro Journey he would kindly step down. But we all need to please leave Steve Perry be! If he needs rest & relaxation let him have it! I see he had a strong bond he was extremely close to his mom. I just hope he doesn't think of suicide like other musicians did! Most musicians wind up in that direction if they cant really find themselves. I just hope I don't one day hear any future bad news about this man.
Absolutely the best in my time and my history of music...I mean I am 62 and have been to 25 concerts or so in my time... some bands multiple times...live or studio compositions this man is undeniable like the BEST !!
Steve Perry is unsurpassed in tone quality, 5 octave,a lo breath control , style and dynamics. He takes a lot of training and hours of practice before he steps on a stage and make it look easy. A singer's life is complicated and difficult and puts up with a lot of crap. He doesn't just wake up and sound his very best. I pray that you have the best of everything, Steve ❤ 10:34
I've lived in Banta all my life, back then the population would have been about 400... 98% farmers.. I have many friends that had crossed paths with him go back in the day
Ok, this is the deal. Neal Schon is an A##hole he lead the band. He didn’t want to cancel tours for no reason hungry to make that money. Steve wouldn’t had asked for time off if he didn’t really need it. Poor guy was experiencing personal medical issues. He needed time off to rest. Being a member in a famous popular rock band is hard and stressful work. Touring on the road and constant traveling around the world is stressful work. They should have honored Steve time off to recover and return. Steve made this band. Neal Schon would have been nothing without Steve Perry period!!!
Touring is grueling; don’t blame him. I loved the Journey line up before Perry. It was a different band with Perry and other line up changes but they were always a great band.
When Steve Perry left Journey I was heartbroken. When Arnel Pineda joined Journey I thought there was no way he could even come close to Steve. Then I saw them performing with Arnel & I developed a respect & admiration for Arnel. While Steve is still my #1, I can still recognize what a great talent Arnel is. What the rest of the band needs to understand is that lightning striking twice is a very rare thing. If they don't appreciate the second chance that Arnel has given them then they don't deserve him. I have no problem writing off Journey completely if they can't hold on to Arnel. Without Steve or Arnel Journey is nothing. I would, however, follow both Steve & Arnel's solo careers.
Love journey and.steve perry but even though they couldn't sell records before Steve their music was far better than most bands Greg was a no doubt great vocalist himself the only thing about Steve that I didn't like was him controlling the band for instance him not liking dunsbars drumming dam infinity was a great album then by the time after frontiers he changed lineups again parting ways with Ross and Steve Smith only too bring them back later but Steve is awesome great vocals unmatched
I've been in numerous bands. All have one member with an ego as big if not bigger than say Trump. Steve Perry was famous for getting a room away from his band mates with his girlfriend. His ego was said to be stifling.
I don’t see ego in a man who cares for his dying mother. I’ve been in several bands. Some of the band mates are easy to get along with and some are not.
Journey may still be touring, and Arnel did a great job singing, but his voice has faltered for over a year now it is toast But one thing for sure, even though Journey is touring the songs that were made famous were sang by Steve Perry wrote by Steve Perry, and most music, composed by him I don’t think journey will last much longer, as there are too many problems between Neal and Jonathan
Arnel is a great singer in his own right. Wish "Journey" as it is today would have that same "magic" of yesteryears with new material - otherwise they're a great cover band. Steve was an ntricate part of making Journey Journey
Man, the grind of a touring musician has laid waste to alot of people. It's sad to see a guy as successful and the incredible music he and Journey brought the world was so destructive to him. The impact Journey had on the music world will be felt for decades to come. They ruled the music world for along time. I saw them once - those dudes could bring it live - HOLY SMOKES
Obviously Steve Perry's voice made Journey, so much so they had to get a copy cat to replace him and sort of became a cover band even though the musicians remained the same.
People love to mention that Journey made music and albums before Steve Perry joined the band. They failed to see that the albums went Nowhere.

For me one of the greatest singers of all time
IMO there is no Journey without Perry. I only wish him well in whatever he decides he feels is best for him.
Journey made 3 albums before Perry joined so there's that...
There never was a Journey when Steve Perry left. They were all great, but Steve`s voice was so freaking amazing. GOAT!!!!!! You can't deny it.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely one of the best voices of all time. 💞🗣️

NO Matter What #STEVEPERRY Decides to Do His FANs Will Stand By Him ❤
Steve obviously lived his music and wasn’t about money and him walking away because he lost his passion proves that an that is one trait that most don’t have an would never do it’s not always about the bread ❤
One of the greatest voice in the 80’s - love ballads from a rock band.
One of a kind, never possible to be replaced, unique Steve forever.
Steve Perry is one of the Greatest Singers of All Time he's definitely in the Top 3 & easily in the Top 5 . He's a once in a lifetime they only come around once he's a legend without him journey is nothing i saw journey 4x all with Perry when you mention journey its Steve Perry & the Original Members with Greg Rollie
ONE OF A KIND,STEVE PERRY;)
He did it to keep his sanity. Very smart man. STEVE PERRY WAS Journey.
Steve Perry the best Malé voice ever no doubt about...no one can sign like Steve Perry..the only AND real voice of journey
Is Rolling Stone out of their minds??? Perry was ONLY ranked 76 out of 100 for his amazing voice??? Unreal!
Steve Perry will always be amazing to me❤❤❤ don’t stop believing ever

Well as much as I love Steve Perry ❤no one is perfect and no one is indispensable 🥺
Theres no Journey without Steve Perry
Being Portuguese too, (my great grandparents were also from the Azores), it amuses me that he is also Portuguese. Portuguese people are funny that way, we have a lot of pride in being Portuguese. Great Singer.
Steve Perry is Journey.
Steve Perry was, is journey. Without him there is, never was a journey.
Steve Perry is the best and I love his voice
I understand why he left, but Steve? You need to.do it for you, you paid your talent for Journey, its your turn now , to do, it get you, you have nothi g prove to anyone anymore,your talent is a gift.🎉
Well done Steve
Steve Perry and Freddie Mercury are the two greatest lead singers in the history of rock music
Steve Perry is Journey ❤

Absolutely the best in my time and my history of music...I mean I am 62 and have been to 25 concerts or so in my time... some bands multiple times...live or studio compositions this man is undeniable like the BEST !!
STEVE PERRY WAS JOURNEY!!!LOVE TO STEVE❤
My favorite album is so underrated. It was Perry’s last album with Journey. It was Trial by Fire! So incredible!
Steve Perry is unsurpassed in tone quality, 5 octave,a lo breath control , style and dynamics. He takes a lot of training and hours of practice before he steps on a stage and make it look easy. A singer's life is complicated and difficult and puts up with a lot of crap. He doesn't just wake up and sound his very best. I pray that you have the best of everything, Steve
❤ 10:34
I named my son after Steve. ❤
Perry is like a peanut butter without a jelly. As a big journey fan you can’t have one without the other.
I've lived in Banta all my life, back then the population would have been about 400... 98% farmers.. I have many friends that had crossed paths with him go back in the day

aaaooo cool and GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide.
LOVE YOU ALL...!!!....MUCH LOVE.!!
Steve has you worked for me you'd still love singing.
Without steve perry, journey will not be popular.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love this article of a legion 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 hugs to Mr Perry 😊
Steve Perry IS JOURNEY. Not the rest of the disgusting lot.
#76 out of 100? Rolling Stone magazine has zero credibility.
I like his song, "You Better Wait."
I think Perry and Ann Wilson have the best voices in the bussness!
When Steve Perry left Journey I was heartbroken. When Arnel Pineda joined Journey I thought there was no way he could even come close to Steve. Then I saw them performing with Arnel & I developed a respect & admiration for Arnel. While Steve is still my #1, I can still recognize what a great talent Arnel is.

I have no problem writing off Journey completely if they can't hold on to Arnel. Without Steve or Arnel Journey is nothing. I would, however, follow both Steve & Arnel's solo careers.
I don't know why journey members did not support Steve during his mothers illness amd death.
Perry is Journey!
Best to go out on top.
Perry is one of the great singer in the world , i think he quit coz' he can't do it anymore .
amazing sinnger
Great documentary
Jon Bon Jovi said it best about calling Steve Perry THE VOICE Steve Perry, had perfect pitch, he alwsys has.
Arnel reminds me of the Movie Rock Star ! We write the songs you only sing the songs.
If they’re going to rank SP 76 out of 100, I would love to know who the other 75 are!
Oh Perry
Journey doesn't sound even half as good without Steve.
Now we know what Arnel Pineda is experiencing for the past 17 yrs. ,
❤😢
F!…Rolling Stone, thought they went out of publication decades ago!
He might have been in isolation the good thing he wasn't alone he had somebody with
Dam the rest of the band
Arnel should have never sang Steve Perrys songs, no one likes copy singers.
Wonder who's crying now 😮😂😂😂😭
Most people have never listened to Journeys first 3 albums, they are fantastic. They went from a rock band to a pop band when they hired Perry
Love journey and.steve perry but even though they couldn't sell records before Steve their music was far better than most bands Greg was a no doubt great vocalist himself the only thing about Steve that I didn't like was him controlling the band for instance him not liking dunsbars drumming dam infinity was a great album then by the time after frontiers he changed lineups again parting ways with Ross and Steve Smith only too bring them back later but Steve is awesome great vocals unmatched
Neil suggested Steve was a soft rocker. my friend said I don't think they're speaking. Things may have slid downhill after
😢😢😢
Love you Steve Perry!! Don't stop believing!!❤❤❤❤
There is alot of pressure and
Once you write a couple hit songs you don’t have to sing anymore. It’s about the money. They are not playing for free believe me.
No journey without perry he is and was journey this you tube kid amel has only been lead vocals for 14 years sunce 2010 for his cover band
Hi Kathy gtsy how are you?
Ha! Farm was in a rural area. 😂 ya think?
Steve was awesome, but when he refuse to perform at the HOF revealed his true colors
No journey without Greg rolle!🙂
I actually liked the Journey BEFORE him, when the band was purely instrumental.
I've been in numerous bands. All have one member with an ego as big if not bigger than say Trump. Steve Perry was famous for getting a room away from his band mates with his girlfriend. His ego was said to be stifling.
I don’t see ego in a man who cares for his dying mother. I’ve been in several bands. Some of the band mates are easy to get along with and some are not.
I miss Greg Rollie more than I do Perry. Sigh...
Journey still rocking strong without Perry. Overrated Perry we don’t need him. We have a much better singer now!!!
Journey may still be touring, and Arnel did a great job singing, but his voice has faltered for over a year now it is toast
But one thing for sure, even though Journey is touring the songs that were made famous were sang by Steve Perry wrote by Steve Perry, and most music, composed by him
I don’t think journey will last much longer, as there are too many problems between Neal and Jonathan
That's a good one Tex, do you ever know what you're talking or do you just read about it?
Arnel is a great singer in his own right. Wish "Journey" as it is today would have that same "magic" of yesteryears with new material - otherwise they're a great cover band. Steve was an ntricate part of making Journey Journey
What you have is a dime a dozen Filipino parrot who can only imitate an original legend.
Journey is now nothing but a “Journey Tribute Band”. Only one member left from their prime.
Man, the grind of a touring musician has laid waste to alot of people. It's sad to see a guy as successful and the incredible music he and Journey brought the world was so destructive to him. The impact Journey had on the music world will be felt for decades to come. They ruled the music world for along time. I saw them once - those dudes could bring it live - HOLY SMOKES
