Steve Perry put the band on the map. Made millionaires out of them and set for the rest of their lives (and their families too) and they would not allow the man to take a break to grieve his Mom, get some rest, and put his life back together? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Their is greed and selfishness is disgusting.

[@dianeouellette3817]

Visiting this sick boy was really hard on the members of the band. You really see it on their faces and lasted many years ♥️

[@souljazzie]

I am glad and happy that Journey could be respondent to their young fans. Giving the fan a Walkman with a demo and allowing him to listening to it for the first time brought the kenny so much joy. Sadly this boy lost his life days after meeting journey . The band express sadness for the lost And shared their compassion for the young fan. It was pretty hard to see Jonathan Cain fall apart about this young man RIP to Kenny Sykaluk young fan of Journey

[@sharonpaige2083]

How can anyone watch this video and not see that Schon and CAIN and Valory betrayed Steve in the worst way! He put journey on the map! Made them millionaires and they're bitching like two little girls!! When u loose ur mom u tend to feel different about a lot of things!! Luv u Steve PERRY!!!!

[@vickieoakes168]

I have been saying that for so long Steve lost his mother and they were very close and lost his girlfriend of 5 years around the same time instead of being true friends and saying lets take a break for awhile and let Steve grieve NO Neal and Jon wanted to tour and didn't give Steve the time he badly needed from some things I've listened to Steve had all the signs of depression and that would make someone do what Steve did by abruptly leaving the band didn't listen to any music for 2 years...

[@marshabailey772]

It was all about money. They needed it, Steve didn't because he had a smart financial manager and didn't live the high life.

[@tammyf.7864]

I don't understand Neal and Jon's actions, either. I mean, the guys in Def Leppard not only waited until their drummer - Rick Allen - recovered after the car wreck that severed his arm, they were 100% behind him. They were even patient as Rick learned to play they drums that were specifically built for him. Now THAT'S a good bandmate!

Those guys are great guys with big hearts. That’s the reason they are so great as artists. They are hero’s to me.

[@jessietorres96]

We can all have our opinions but we dont know first hand the pressure and demands their careers had on them. We all get overwhlemed at times and while success is important, your well-being and health is even more important. These people are humans just like us and they are not perfect they make mistakes they have their vices they have their good and bad. Its unfortunate that they couldnt stay together but man do we have some timeless and extraordinary records that they created. Journey needed Steve Perry and he needed them. Theres a time for everything and theyre fortunate enough to have established the legacy they have today. I will always love Steve Perry he is an astonishing/gifted artist and that voice is truly one in a million.

[@rebeccametz6543]

i feel what is in his heart.. i lost my 6 1/2 year old in the summer of 87'. Since then, I see things in life that i never did before, and now see the beauty of the littlest things. I feel deeper, and love harder than ever before....because of a love lost.

steve perry made journey a success an the band members an without steve perry its just not the real thing an no one will ever take take his place. his voice that makes the band an no one will ever ever replace him! i love journey but its not the same without him!

[@naomimay3243]

Wow just love Steve perry and his music

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

This interview with Steve proves what kind of guy he truly is!!! Sensitive and loving. Unlike the rest of the band.

[@gfexc]

jajaja he´s got you fooled too?

[@lindaharris6146]

DEB SLOCK yes agree, journey the group did him wrong. He had other thing going on. he told them to move on but leave journey alone as is it was when they were all a group. I wish he would go to the Hall of Fame but I respect his choice. please Steve just one more album!

[@flickoff118]

He went from a shy kid to an arrogant human being. Controlling of the band he thought he could replace with any instrumentalists. I think he had (a) Foolish Heart and Oh Sherrie (of whom he was callous to) that became popular, but after that...nothing. So, the talent of every member of Journey MADE Journey a legend

[@flickoff118]

I worship Neals guitar. Perry should have too

[@lupehernandez8078]

He fired Steve Smith and Ross Valory for no reason except that he could, is that sensitive and loving?

[@valeriesilveira3903]

I know this personally, Journey's road to fame would never have gone anywhere if it wasn't for Steve Perry. So in part Journey's journey was due to Steve Perry... Steve Perry is JOURNEY... It was his journey and his destiny and the rest of Journey should be grateful for being brought on his journey to the top of fame and fortune...All due to HIS VOICE... What he means by "Not feeling part of the band" is due to the band's egotistical jealousies...Not working with Steve as a team... A band is supposed to work as a team to help make the lead sound great and bringing the band as a whole to the top of the charts...But instead of team effort being applied here... All Steve got was flack, whinning, jealous conflicts and a unwilling band... So even though the band wasn't playing fairly, Steve still overcame it all and still brought the "The Band" to the top and made them all famous....And "The Band" knows exactly what I am talking about, don't you guys?...

[@gfexc]

Why didn t he have fame and fortune by himself then. Instead of fixing turkey coops for a living

[@ntl6870]

+mantenimiento You have the audacity to question his FAME and FORTUNE? Dude...everyone only speaks of Steve Perry, not the band, to this day. That alone is proof of his fame. The fact that he doesn't have to keep working proves his fortune. Steve Perry is Journey. The band is secondary.

[@davidawilliams8603]

because you can have all the talent in the world and unless someone believes in you, as Steve as consistently said that herbie did, you are NOT going to get anywhere.

[@lindaharris6146]

Valerie Silveira I totally agree...Journey is nothing without Steve Perry. His voice and energy made that group. It was unfortunate that he has problems with his hip, mothers illness and loosing love Kellie. still love and respect the man he is today

[@twinzzplusonecanada5499]

He did not fix turkey coops for a living! If you've truly listened to Steve's interviews he says without hesitation that they brought things out of him he couldn't do alone, and vice versa. Steve can at least admit fault rather than blaming the others and speaking negatively about them behind their backs. He is a class act, people love his artistry because it's always come from the heart.

[@cbonniecooper677]

Steve I believe u to be one of the greatest singer. U will always live in my ♥ bcooper

[@journeyon2489]

I know that this behind the music was edited to where he said he did not feel like part of the band. Steve said that was in the beginning of joining Journey. But MTV edited that part as if it was the ending. Steve said he was very upset with them doing that, and that he would never do anything with MTV again. I met Steve Perry on a radio talk station, and he is the nicest people there is. Things happen for a reason in life. And I think with Steve Perry leaving Journey was better for him and his life. Steve gave the world the best years of his life! His music will forever be in our hearts! Congratulations on your award on the Rock and Roll Hall of fame! So long time overdue and so well deserved :):):)

[@maryannvaldez7694]

@@TheDizzleHawke They got their soundbite, didn't they?

[@journeyon2489]

Congratulations on the Rock and Roll Hall of fame Steve Perry! Jonathan Cain just came out with a book Don't Stop Believing. He talks about Steve Perry alot in his book. And it was all good stuff, despite their differences. Jon talks about Steve Perry and his family being threatened during this time and how serious it got that he had to get the authorities and the FBI involved. So he had VERY good reason to let the music business go. And with Trial by Fire, he had to make a huge decision to get a hip replacement done. I can totally relate to that because my husband is going through that now. He has had hip problems for over 2 years now. Now he has decided to get his surgery done. This is why things happened the way they did with Steve at this time. It's not like he planned it? It just happened. But he did tell Jon that there was no comming back.... and he surly meant it. So now to me, Journey is jus a cover band without Steve Perry :( But Neal and Jon made that choice. So much for brotherhood.

[@sedricrobinson9499]

Journey On Other bands had tragedy hit their groups. The members decided to wait for that member to get back on their feet or not tour at all. Not Schon and Cain.

[@QueenJaneway]

who threatened Steves family?

Steve Perry made this band what it is. All the rest of the singers who fill in after him make it nothing. The truth hurts but hey it is what it is. Sure other singers can sing the songs, but when it comes down to it all the original songs belong to Steve Perry- THE VOICE!!!

they were pretty mean to Steve, lots of ego's anyway i only watch this to hear and stare at Steve Perry :)

[@KG.1.]

the band became major, music, maniac rock stars because of "the voice!" Steve is ultimately the best, singer ever!!! He didn't feel part of the band because he had a vision of what the band was, and could be. Jelliousely of steve from other band members made him feel isolated. All you who comment he was a jerk etc. etc. etc. are just jealous of him and his gift! He still can sing, I'd listen to him every day all day long! !!! *Lana

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

Exactly! And Steve never fired anyone!!!

[@johns80schick]

Steve is not all to blame but he does take some of the blame. He did fire the bassist Vallory and the drummer Smith. He admitted that he shouldn't have done it and regrets it. That's was during the Raised on Radio. They came back for Trial by Fire.

[@lupehernandez8078]

Later on he also fired Herbie Herbert the man who found him and convinced Journey take him on as their frontman. If it wasn't for Herbie we may never have heard of Steve Perry because at the time he was hired by Journey he was ready to give up an a musical career.

[@a.barnard3205]

Too bad that THE VOICE couldn't keep his EGO in check...…….

[@sugarpear7557]

I read the GQ interview that both Schon and Perry did and many of the things that were mentioned in this video were INCOMPLETE. Here's what I got from what they both said about what happened. Journey was really Schon's band. The management built that band around Schon - because he was a prodigy - he was genius and now a legend. There is NO doubting his talent - even Steve knows that and acknowledges that throughout the interview. Steve was shoved down their throats by the label. They didn't want a vocalist - but the label said, they need one to get on radio. They were given an ultimatum: get a vocalist or we let you go. Not only that, but they didn't have a say as to WHO they were going to get. The label INSISTED they got Steve. So, from the get-go, this group was strained. This is why Steve said he never really felt part of the band - he was never really part of it. He was put in it by force so that the band can go on radio. True they had chemistry and magic when they wrote songs, but the strain in their relationship was always there. Steve commanded the stage, making the rest of the band look like back up. I think the reason why Arnel (and all the other singers they got after Steve) works well is because he does the job, but doesn't take away the limelight from the rest of the group. Steve was just brimming with charisma and he took the attention of everyone when he stepped on the stage.

[@irenez9382]

+Sugar Pear - Beautifully said. Steve Perry is an amazing human being! He is a class act that admits his mistakes instead of blaming others. Thank you Steve your loyal fan.

[@michellecotter7017]

Yes this was put in perfect perspective of actual events. I get it now why Steve felt that way. It was forced instead of coming together on their own. It would have made a world of difference for the band. So perfectly put. Thank you.

since 7:33 - 7:50 everything is said. A band without Steve Perry and Steve Perry without Journey didn't have that magic, so for all those complaining about replacing Perry, Journey was not only Steve Perry. He needed that music and they needed Perry. Now, current Journey is different and is not the same, correct, but that doesn't mean is not real, it is just another Journey,you can like it or not, keep listening to he new music or just keep listening to the old tunes, that's up to you.

[@sandipage9525]

these behind the music shows are edited therefore the powers that be have no choice but to make all involved look bad. he said she said stuff but...with that said sometimes if your heart is no longer in it and your personal life is causing you pain mentally and physically fame can become a thorn in your side (no pun intended) so one has to make difficult choices. money cant buy contentment oh it helps sure but like the song says its hard to leave this carrousel but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. i hope i spelled carrousel correctly by the.way.
