First time hearing Faithfully by Journey

What memories does this song bring up with you? Journey's Faithfully is such an iconic song and was part of the soundtrack of our lives. Every school dance, every high school party or just cruising with friends had this song play a large part of our collective memory. Alexis only knows one song from Journey and no surprise, it's Don't Stop Believin. As I say in the video, it's awesome and depressing that she hasn't heard it before. This was a very fun to do and there are many more to come from Journey.

"The Voice" Steve Perry. Often Imitated, Never duplicated. Once in a generation talent.

That tone and pitch, along with a great band and awesome writing.... so ridiculous.

[@jeffstarkey7726]

Steve Perry is topped only by Freddie Mercury

[@MetalMcfly]

@@jeffstarkey7726 Freddie was a different kind of singer. He was very theatrical and by no means am I disregarding him. My above comment stands on the talent of Steve alone. If this video presented Freddie, he would get the same treatment. There is no competition. Two totally different types of singers.

[@robertg7396]

Ya gotta give props to Neal Schon too. The fact this amazing guitarist is never even mentioned as one of the greatest is criminal. I mean I get that theres Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray, Eric Clapton etc, but to me, Neal is so underrated, and would definitely rank high in my top ten. The guy can absolutely shred! 🤘😎🎸

[@tld5150]

Came here to say this too. So many incredible solos that are often so fast and still melodic

[@jbockman4170]

Neal Schon was definitely underrated. He got his first break playing in Santana because Gregg Rollie was playing keyboards for Santana. I read an article years ago that said one of the songs on the Infinity album called Winds of March had Neal Schon's father arrange the strings on it. It's pretty awesome.

[@adamrasmussen1839]

What's crazy is Neal founded Journey.

Saw the Frontiers tour and it was amazing how good they were night after night. Perry poured his heart and soul into his vocals for every concert and they sounded as good live as the albums.

Faithfully is the quintessential “love song”. It’s grounded enough in reality to not come off cheesy like most love songs do! Melodically it is also unmatched and dynamically the way it builds is perfection if that exists! Every love song should be measured against this song!

[@jeremywhitworth7299]

Steve had his own bus. He and his girlfriend Sherrie shared that bus. She’s the girl he’s singing to on the song “ Oh Sherrie” from his 1984 solo album Street Talk. Journey band members weren’t exactly happy with the special treatment Steve received, but he was the guy that brought the band so much success. He really wasn’t even the guy that owned the band. Lead guitarist Neal Schon was one of the 2 original members that started the band. Gregg Rolie was the other one, but left the band after they released the album Departure. He was originally the lead vocalist, but the band’s first 3 albums tanked in sales. The record company told the band’s manager that if their 4th album was another flop that they were going to release them from their contract. They hired Steve Perry, even though Schon and Rolie didn’t like his singing style, to be the new lead vocalist. Rolie and Perry did do some co- lead vocalist songs, but Rolie had grown tired of touring and wanted to do his thing. At the suggestion of his replacement, he recommended Jonathan Cain become his replacement. Cain has written and co written Journey’s biggest hits.
