@@vinceschouten46 He still does play with Carlos from time to time. BTW Steve and band members used to order Pizza from me when he was in town visiting his Grandma (I think). I ran into at various places including the local bowling alley where they were playing pinball (this was in the small town of Hanford, California). Really nice guys and they had nice motorcycles.
History is amazing because it helps us know where we have come from and why the world is currently where it is. Having access to a tool such as UA-cam, to see and hear talented people with positive messages, should be a goal of every person with access....and many do not have that. Keep your head high and enjoy the journey. You have a lot of people supporting you. 😉
I am a black woman from chicago in my late 40's! i listen to all kinds of music from Soul, R&B, to old school rap, heavy metal, country , & rock music! i love it all! so u listen to whoever u want and any type of music! if people dont like it screw them!!! Bravo for stepping outside the box!!!!
Making great music was the main goal, making money was the result, now it's about making a quick buck with whatever's popular right now and most music ends up sounding catchy, but unoriginal, therefore most of it won't stand the test of time like most music from the 20th century has, even some one hit wonders are better than some so called artists entire discographies right now lol
If you are looking for a rabbit hole of music to fall into you won’t find anything better than Journey and Steve Perry’s solo stuff. It’s really good. Greatest rock vocalist of all-time!
Ignore him luv. I love watching you grow with something new and that has meaning. I'm a 52 year old white Grandma and I see your heart ready to explode with excitement. He's a moron! Rock on 🎶🎵🔊
Hahaha, the look on your face when Steve soared on that high note; it was one of total awe and bewilderment. My friend, we STILL have that same reaction, 37 years later. 😊❤️
I’m so glad you focused on Journey. As an “Old Timer” who saw them live on 3 occasions...concert tickets ran $12.00 so we could...there were many goosebumps during their shows. My generation had to learn how to play and sing on one recording take. That is until recording companies went to using 8 tracks. Now the music is overly processed via Autotune and the quality is not there for many. Some Artists can play and sing but it’s rare. I’m glad you enjoyed this song. It’s still amazing after all these years. Peace.
Your so right, the music in this country can't compare because back then it wasn't just about making tons of money.People had talent and wanted to express it. BTW i've been married to the same man for 40 years. It hasn't been easy but we hung in there through the bad times and didn't jump the ship when thing got bad, as so many do today! Also, it doesn't matter what color you are, we all bleed red blood, we are all brothers and sisters in this human race and have to lift each other up not tear each other down. Peace out!
Regarding the person who asked why “you people” are only reacting to a certain type of music, you were right to regard that type of comment with suspicion. Music is a gift from God. No door is closed to you regarding appreciating all different types of music from all different types of cultures and backgrounds. Keep up the good work.
I don't think "you people" was a racial slur. Simply meant you people that do reaction videos. When I first started watching reaction videos, it seemed as though everyone was reacting to the same songs, not just the same type of songs. I wanted to see reactions to different songs, not the same ones over and over. But now I like comparing reactions to the same song. It is nice to see younger people liking my generation's music. Keep it up!
The ending part of the video really captures all the bands emotions singing this song. Almost underlying the point that the fans are truly the ones they are most faithful to
A lot of people and you-tubers have been on this same musical"Journey". A shitload of people have been to Disneyland. That doesn't mean that people should stop going to Disneyland, and it doesn't mean that you shouldn't be on this journey. Enjoy yourself.
Steve Perry has one of THE most beautiful voices in the world, second only to Freddie imo. Please do "Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'", one of Journey's best!💙 And you're right. Artists of the 60's, 70's, into the 80's had more heart & soul (& talent) than just about any you hear today. And I'm talking about both black & white. I grew up listening to both. There's a big difference between now & then.
Sometimes we get so amazed by the great lyrics and perfect voices of Journey, Styx, and Foreigner that we forget to appreciate how incredibly talented they were as musicians on guitar, keyboard, and drums. We just don't hear bands play instruments like this anymore.
If you want to make a girl fall in love with you, play Journey! And tell that jerk that music has no color! I'm a white girl who loves Motown and Heavy Metal!!!
@@sweetscientist8441 Speaking of Kenny Rogers, his duet of "We've Got Tonight" with Sheena Easton is magic. And Dolly Parton is wonderful, I love her version of "I Will Always Love You" just as much as Whitney's. I would never be able to decide who sang it best.
2 buses, 2 transport trucks full of equipment on the road 24/7 365 days. Arenas, stadiums to set up week after week. 1 bus for the band, 1 bus for the crew. It is a huge logistical effort to bring those concerts to everyone. Saw 3 concerts in my time, so thanks to all that made it possible.
Your right brother! Back then music was on a whole different level! It made you FEEL AND CONNECT! It wasn't just a means to make you famous and rich like these days! Journey is my favorite band and the best example of when music is done right!
Hey man just keep doing what you are doing reacting to REAL music and ignore all of these idiots and their STUPID comments! JOURNEY is one of the greatest bands EVER! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Have you noticed how many groups write a song about how hard it is to be on the road?? You have this song, "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi and many others. Willie Nelson sings about being "on the road again".
Forget that racial crap, my Brother. Do what you're doing. Its good, it's right, and it's appreciated. I'm white, and wanna hear your perspective. Thank you, Sir. Keep up the good job!
This was personal for Steve. Everyone held up their Bic lighters to show their respect. Yeah, you keep on reacting and a big 😝 to that dude. BTW lead guitarist, Neil Schon made many of his guitars.
These are basically the most incredible songs ever written or performed And die for one people that are younger, who can listen to music like this, and realize that it will never be like this again
YAYYYYY!!! Thank you so very much JBLETHAL for reacting to some of my suggestions!! I watched how Steve Perry's voice poured over your soul like liquid gold! Journey Steve Perry's "The Voice" A nickname given to him by Bon Jovi Is hands down (in my opinion) the BEST vocalist in history! The lead guitarist Neal Schonn was in a band with Carlos Santana! Later on, Randy Jackson was in Journey! Please react to some more of their song! "Open Arms" "Separate Ways" "Wheels In The Sky" "Don't Stop Believing " "I'll be Alright without you " "Lovin, Touching, Squeezing " ETC.....
Hey can Steve Perry hold out a note or what!?! Yep that’s what it was like. Listen James. Remember those closed minded people, also have self limiting beliefs. Which hurts only themselves. Because they don’t grow. Sad. But we all know that’s not you! Keep growing my friend! Hugs❤️
I have stood by my man for 42 years of marriage. Lots of good music helped get me through the thick and thin. The bad times....and there was plenty. Music is such a resource, a balm.
It's great that you are finding some of the greatest voices ever gifted to contemporary humans, Freddie Mercury, Steve Perry, John Denver, Karen Carpenter and so many others as well as people from opera and classical music. Have you listened to Mama Cass Elliott from the Mamas and the Papas? Powerhouse. Janis Joplin could blow your socks off. You HAVE done many styles so your critic, whoever it was, hasn't been listening. So glad you're still reviewing.
Together with my wife 40 years now. She has been my rock thru many deployments in the army. We met in a disco in Germany when I was stationed there in the 70's.
It makes sense that a lot of younger reactors do songs that were popular/well-known to people from the generations before them. We all pretty much know what music sounds like today, and stuff that's new hasn't really had a chance to become "beloved" and iconic yet. It's the stuff that's managed to stand the test of time, that people have grown to love and feel nostalgic about. When you've got those all time favorite songs, it's so awesome to be able to introduce them to someone else for the first time, see them light up. It's the closest you can get to hearing them for the first time again. You can feel the spark of that original excitement. It's the gift a younger responder can give to those of us who aren't so young anymore. A chance to re-live that moment when a song blew our minds, the satisfaction of passing that love and enthusiasm on to another generation. So, yeah, there are going to be songs that a lot of people are all going to react to. Because a lot of people are heavily requesting those songs. Because those songs are worth requesting, because they're really awesome songs. Reacting to newer stuff isnt quite the same. It can still be interesting and entertaining, like you're reacting along with the reactor for the first time. But it's not like watching someone fall in love with a song you love too. I hope you do keep reacting to old school stuff, there's still so much that's worth listening to, amazing vocalists and instrumentalists, it's inspiring to take in that kind of greatness, to make sure people don't forget about it.
Hi Sweetheart. I love your reactions and I love you. You give me hope for the younger generation with your respect and kindness. God bless you, keep doing what you're doing.
Please please do not ever stop exploring all these artist from the past! It's true nothing compares to the music from the past. It's soul healing. You have also inspired me to relive this epic music which is healing my soul. Much love 🙏🏼
I've seen Journey 3 times now, twice with Arnel on vocals, and once with stand-in Jeff Scott Soto back in 2006. All great shows. Both singers extremely capable of representing those Steve Perry classics, but man oh man, I would be all over the chance to see Steve front the band for one more tour and would gladly break my wallet to do so.
Please don’t listen to those people, I love what you’re doing! It’s so amazing to see someone else who feels this music like I do. Journey is one of my favorite bands. Never get tired of listening to the old school Steve Perry Journey!
The 70's and 80's were my music. I love watching these songs touch the souls of others the way they did for me back when they were first introduced to the world.
PLEASE keep reacting to these amazing songs! It does my heart good to see the younger generation discover the songs that shaped my life in the 70's and 80's . My sons , in their late 20's, love 80's music as much as my husband and I do.
I was lucky enough to see Journey 3 times back in the 80's when Steve Perry was still with them. I remember waiting in line for 9 hours to get tickets but it was well worth it....I still even have the ticket stubs. Some people may think the lighter thing was dorky but when you're actually at the concert hearing the song, "Faithfully" live with the lights turned down and thousands of lighters lit across the arena...it was a sight to see.
Music is a "journey" thru time. True music lovers do step outside the box. If not for the past we would have no future. Understanding and learning is why we are here. Good for you to search for yourself❤️
"Faithfully" came out in 1983. Their keyboardist wrote it. When I saw Journey play the L.A. Forum last year, he explained the story behind the song, it was fascinating. I recommend "The Price" (1984) by Twisted Sister.
You should react to this song live. Perry has the purest voice in rock history with the most range ever in my opinion. I prefer the more soulful rock voices like Paul Rodgers from Free, Bad Company and his blues solo music. But there’s no denying the ridiculous talent of Steve Perry. Dude was so pure and flawless.
Genres are varied. Jazz Rock Oldies Acid rock Good luck on your journey! Have a blast with the past. 67 year old Boomer here loves to see your honest reaction to the musical score of our lives.
I grow up listening to them . Never gets old. I appreciate your words. Keep doing what you are doing. Much respect to you and what you do. Have a great week.
I loved watching the emotional look in your eyes while you listened. You're a good man and you'll make a great partner to a lucky woman. Keep your mind open Friend, we love it! ❤
Love to you, man, for honoring your grandmother the way you do! True music touches the soul in a way that can't be denied. Empty music, young or old, leaves you wanting for something better.
The great Steve Perry. What a voice. His range is fantastic. Pitch perfect. Stood by mine through thick and thin and didn't ask for a pat on the back. I worked hard, was the bread winner, no welfare handouts, and raised my two on my own without any of his support. There are more women out there like me than you realize.
Darlin, if you only knew what it was like to grow up back then!!! My kids loved the music I grew up with, too!!! Thank you for appreciating the awesome music and talent from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, even 90’s!!!! Love your sweet, soft voice.
I absolutely love watching reactions from people who have never heard this music. I always say...I was extremely blessed to grow up in the 80's. And all my kids kno all this music and love it! They can sing it word for word.
Luckily there are more good people than there are haters. I love watching reaction videos! There's a lot of people watching your videos too, so forget the hater! Let me tell you something, this music is the soundtrack of my life. I grew up listening to this music, I'm 53 yrs old. Born in 1967 and this is what we listened to. I love watching people who have never heard these songs, it amazes me. It seriously puts a smile on my face! Yeah, we're locked down in our homes right now but I found these reaction videos, so I'm listening to my favorite music and seeing you experience this greatness for the first time! Priceless! They call Steve Perry "The Voice"! He has a 3-octave range!
Powerful, passionate and I believe fully honest by Steve......we had so many great artists that I won't say he was the best but ..... he's sure as hell "way up there!" God bless you, JBLETHAL AND STEVE PERRY!
That swat at 6:21 was funny. Steve Perry holding that note giving it all he's got is always impressive and you can't help but react to it in some manner.
Oh, Lord. I was raised on gospel music but I listened to Motown from the time I was 10 years old as well as classical, blues, , 50, 60, 70 music, and a sprinkle of country. I'm white but never stopped me from having favorite artists such as The Drifters, Temptations, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Supremes, Mahalia Jackson (my favorite female gospel singer) and the Barrett Sisters. People are missing out by not listening to various artists.
As a musician and as someone who grew up with and LOVE Journey. Chicago, and Richard Marx. I commend you for learning about music that you've never heard before. Music expands your mind and soul and whatever you like or listen to has a profound impact on you. Music is sound waves and that speaks to your soul. Rock on. 😀
Steve Perry could sing the phone book and make you cry while he did it.
Right? So true!
Back in the 70's , here in" Chicag😎 " . Journey would play 3 night weekends.

You seem like such a nice man. You have a deep, loving soul. Embrace your heart.
It's sad how we've gone from incredible songs like this to the trash of today
kevin jones I agree with you totally
Making great music was the main goal, making money was the result, now it's about making a quick buck with whatever's popular right now and most music ends up sounding catchy, but unoriginal, therefore most of it won't stand the test of time like most music from the 20th century has, even some one hit wonders are better than some so called artists entire discographies right now lol
kevin jones there’s still good music today. You just have to really search for it
kevin jones don’t worry I be hear to save mainstream music jus give me about ten years
This mean spirited society of today reflects to the current music. The music of the past reminds us another time which seemed gentler.
If you are looking for a rabbit hole of music to fall into you won’t find anything better than Journey and Steve Perry’s solo stuff. It’s really good. Greatest rock vocalist of all-time!
Ignore him luv. I love watching you grow with something new and that has meaning. I'm a 52 year old white Grandma and I see your heart ready to explode with excitement. He's a moron! Rock on 🎶🎵🔊
Hahaha, the look on your face when Steve soared on that high note; it was one of total awe and bewilderment. My friend, we STILL have that same reaction, 37 years later. 😊❤️
The power of Steve Perry's voice. Truly something spectacular.
Remember when you actually had feelings and emotions in songs...
Yes I do Baz 84..! Im 57 and WtHell..
I love this music and Always will..!
Steve Perry is known as The Voice.
Steve has a great voice, but Tom Jones is known as The Voice. Don't think Steve could keep up with Tom.
@@gigimoore3738 Jon Bon Jovi gave that nickname of "The Voice" to Steve Perry.
@@beckybexx01977 OK...but someone else already held that title by the time Steve came along. Steve's voice is unique.
@@gigimoore3738 I agree that Tom Jones has a great voice. My fav is still Steve Perry.
@@beckybexx01977 Everyone is free to choose their favorite.
There's a lot of us women who do stand by our men. Great song James, from my youth
I enjoy watching young people discover the music I grew up loving. I'm glad you are enjoying your journey and never let the haters have a voice.
I find this to be the best song from Journey. Steve Perry was an incredible singer.
Arnel is damn good, too. My favorites are this one and After All These Years.
My favorite is Open Arms. Steve Perry was outstanding doing that song.
'Open Arms' is my favorite from Journey.
You said he “was” an incredible singer...he STILL is!
@@GovnaAndy - I stand corrected.
I feel so blessed to see Journey in 1978 in SF. Lights came out then. ♥️ Journey!

Perry is a legend in his own time..
Amen
The ending part of the video really captures all the bands emotions singing this song. Almost underlying the point that the fans are truly the ones they are most faithful to
“Being apart ain’t easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you...”
Strong
A lot of people and you-tubers have been on this same musical"Journey". A shitload of people have been to Disneyland. That doesn't mean that people should stop going to Disneyland, and it doesn't mean that you shouldn't be on this journey. Enjoy yourself.
Journey played at my high school before they hit it big. They are our SF Bay Area band.
Steve Perry has one of THE most beautiful voices in the world, second only to Freddie imo. Please do "Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'", one of Journey's best!💙

And all without auto tune.

One of the best songs ever written and sung by a great, great group......
His voice, man...his damn voice messing with my heart. haha Thanks for the reaction.
His voice is phenomenal
Bread- everything I own. That song help me a lot when I lost my fiancee
That's a great song. "Make It With You" by Bread is also great, and I'd throw in "If You Could Read My Mind" by Gordon Lightfoot.

2 buses, 2 transport trucks full of equipment on the road 24/7 365 days. Arenas, stadiums to set up week after week. 1 bus for the band, 1 bus for the crew. It is a huge logistical effort to bring those concerts to everyone. Saw 3 concerts in my time, so thanks to all that made it possible.

"Open Arms" "Separate Ways" "Wheels In The Sky" "Don't Stop Believing "
"I'll be Alright without you " "Lovin, Touching, Squeezing " ETC.....
I'll Be Alright showed off how good their voices sounded together, and gave a few seconds to Cain's singing, which wasn't too bad.

Please don’t listen to those people, I love what you’re doing! It’s so amazing to see someone else who feels this music like I do. Journey is one of my favorite bands. Never get tired of listening to the old school Steve Perry Journey!
The 70's and 80's were my music. I love watching these songs touch the souls of others the way they did for me back when they were first introduced to the world.
PLEASE keep reacting to these amazing songs! It does my heart good to see the younger generation discover the songs that shaped my life in the 70's and 80's . My sons , in their late 20's, love 80's music as much as my husband and I do.
I was lucky enough to see Journey 3 times back in the 80's when Steve Perry was still with them. I remember waiting in line for 9 hours to get tickets but it was well worth it....I still even have the ticket stubs.
Some people may think the lighter thing was dorky but when you're actually at the concert hearing the song, "Faithfully" live with the lights turned down and thousands of lighters lit across the arena...it was a sight to see.
so many good journey songs , The girl can't help it , feeling that way too , Send her my love , Still they ride - glad you liked the vibe
You need to do "Mother-Father" now!!! A hidden Journey gem....about family.
Absolutely love this song.
Music is a "journey" thru time. True music lovers do step outside the box. If not for the past we would have no future. Understanding and learning is why we are here. Good for you to search for yourself❤️
"Faithfully" came out in 1983. Their keyboardist wrote it. When I saw Journey play the L.A. Forum last year, he explained the story behind the song, it was fascinating. I recommend "The Price" (1984) by Twisted Sister.
Steve Perry was one of a kind! One of my favorite songs ever
You should react to this song live. Perry has the purest voice in rock history with the most range ever in my opinion. I prefer the more soulful rock voices like Paul Rodgers from Free, Bad Company and his blues solo music. But there’s no denying the ridiculous talent of Steve Perry. Dude was so pure and flawless.
I play faithfully when in deep thought. Big time Journey fan. Miss the 80’s. Wish I could redue the 80’s. Damn, Class of 82.
Genres are varied.
Jazz
Rock
Oldies
Acid rock
Good luck on your journey!
Have a blast with the past.
67 year old Boomer here loves to see your honest reaction to the musical score of our lives.
Journeys music just makes you want to relax and just listen!
Great reaction! Enjoy the music of the 60's, 70's and 80's.
This is back in the day when we all had a lighter at a concert instead of a cell phone...Love Journey!
I grow up listening to them . Never gets old. I appreciate your words. Keep doing what you are doing. Much respect to you and what you do. Have a great week.
I loved watching the emotional look in your eyes while you listened. You're a good man and you'll make a great partner to a lucky woman. Keep your mind open Friend, we love it! ❤
The voice did it again, crying again..Wow....
I love it when I see folks appreciating the kind of music I grew up with and it’s intense meaning. Music back then we’re on a different level..
Love to you, man, for honoring your grandmother the way you do! True music touches the soul in a way that can't be denied. Empty music, young or old, leaves you wanting for something better.
More Journey please.
The great Steve Perry. What a voice. His range is fantastic. Pitch perfect. Stood by mine through thick and thin and didn't ask for a pat on the back. I worked hard, was the bread winner, no welfare handouts, and raised my two on my own without any of his support. There are more women out there like me than you realize.
I was lucky enough to see Journey in concert in the 80's in LA and they were amazing. Steve Perry sounded just this great live.❤️
Darlin, if you only knew what it was like to grow up back then!!! My kids loved the music I grew up with, too!!! Thank you for appreciating the awesome music and talent from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, even 90’s!!!! Love your sweet, soft voice.
I absolutely love watching reactions from people who have never heard this music. I always say...I was extremely blessed to grow up in the 80's. And all my kids kno all this music and love it! They can sing it word for word.
Luckily there are more good people than there are haters. I love watching reaction videos! There's a lot of people watching your videos too, so forget the hater! Let me tell you something, this music is the soundtrack of my life. I grew up listening to this music, I'm 53 yrs old. Born in 1967 and this is what we listened to. I love watching people who have never heard these songs, it amazes me. It seriously puts a smile on my face! Yeah, we're locked down in our homes right now but I found these reaction videos, so I'm listening to my favorite music and seeing you experience this greatness for the first time! Priceless!
They call Steve Perry "The Voice"! He has a 3-octave range!
Absolutely correct. There is nothing that compares to this kind of music!!
Yes brother! Close minded is the sickness! Yes yes yes!
Powerful, passionate and I believe fully honest by Steve......we had so many great artists that I won't say he was the best but ..... he's sure as hell "way up there!" God bless you, JBLETHAL AND STEVE PERRY!
That swat at 6:21 was funny. Steve Perry holding that note giving it all he's got is always impressive and you can't help but react to it in some manner.
Keep going down this path kid, your reactions remind me of why I like different kinds of music. 👍👍
Faithfully is my favorite Journey song.
Also, your mom knows what she’s talking about. 🥰🥰🥰👍🏼👍🏼
Keep up the hard work, I love your reactions!
Oh, Lord. I was raised on gospel music but I listened to Motown from the time I was 10 years old as well as classical, blues, , 50, 60, 70 music, and a sprinkle of country. I'm white but never stopped me from having favorite artists such as The Drifters, Temptations, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Supremes, Mahalia Jackson (my favorite female gospel singer) and the Barrett Sisters. People are missing out by not listening to various artists.
I was blessed to grow up with wonderful music like this, and enjoy seeing it impact more recent generations. Great music is meant to be shared.
As a musician and as someone who grew up with and LOVE Journey. Chicago, and Richard Marx. I commend you for learning about
music that you've never heard before. Music expands your mind and soul and whatever you like or listen to has a profound impact on you. Music is sound waves and that speaks to your soul. Rock on. 😀
