If you listened to Steve's last solo LP, you'd hear that his range has dropped about an octave and a half, since his time in Journey. Unless he's planning on using some fancy pitched-up note-matching autotune effects while he sings, there's simply no way he can ever sing the hits of Journey again.

​@@mattwuxx3888I don't want to argue on that , but don't you think that an octave and a half is a lot? A step and a half is pretty low too, I heard him sing from some video online dated from about 2 years ago, and he is not even a step down. I am not saying he can hit all the notes he was hitting 30 years ago, but an octave and a half is a lot, take your piano, guitar or bass play a note, and go an octave and a half lower, and you will hear a huge difference.

sorry but journey never broke into superstardom until there ESCAPE ABLUM (where cain joined the band). so you might say. BIG DEAL, so he joined the band and played some keyboards. well, he may be the chief songwriter behind journey's biggest hits. it seemed to me more than half their biggest hits had keyboards as major part of the song (faithfully, don't stop believin, who's cryin now, etc). now, if cain didn't write any of the music, then I would agree with you. but I think he probably did. he wasn't the last one to put his mark on the song (a song that was mostly complete except for the keyboards). I think he was often the first. but I love schon. I am a guitar player. and there is no doubt he is a great songwriter to. but he's rock n roll. perry and cain where more of the POP rock type. very different. and I would say the pop rock focus is what pushed them to the top and kept them there.

[@MrDJMikieMike]

@@wasatchm I agree J. C. is a collaborator writing some of Journey’s Biggest Hits. But back then they all had each other’s 6 now it’s every man for himself, just look how they pushed Steve out of the Band. But Steve was one step ahead head of all them. Steve still gets paid and doesn’t have to worry about killing his vocal cords. All in all Steve was the smartest of them all. Since Steve left Journey hasn’t been the same and never had a Hit song. So J.C. may still be writing the songs but they aren’t going anywhere because they don’t have the Voice to sing them.

[@RyanG13]

What if Cain, Castronovo, Vallory, and Steve Perry got back together, teamed up with a great guitarist (who wasn't Neil Schon), and attempted to form a new band with a Journey-Esque sort of feel, with different songs. Not re-performing the old orig. stuff, but new stuff. Just breaking off from Journey altogether, to find a more cohesive sound, built with a familiar sort of brotherhood, and mutual respect towards each other? Anyone out there remember when some of the band member of Boston, went in together & created the band RTZ (Return to Zero CD)? Yes I know it was 1 album (I think, it was 1 that was put out anyway). Even though it didn't work out long term, it was still pretty awesome to listen to, I still have the cd somewhere. Over the years, it seems that the common problem has been Neil Schon, so maybe take him out of the equation, go back to basics. Hell maybe if not Cain or Castronovo, then what about Dunbar or Rolie? I've always thought it would be so freaking cool, to have the best of the best form a band, make new albums, & see how it would sound with a little bit of everything. Yes, I'm a Gen X'r, and YES, I MISS the original music. But maybe if they were to form something new, by putting egos and bygones aside, I would be so intrigued on what that would sound like.

Love Neal's playing he is an amazing guitar player hands down. That said he does seem to be the one who posts New Cars, Guitars and various other spending. That is not a crime to do but when you are locked in a you spend too much money case maybe tone it down!

[@Derrick6162]

They should retire and call it a day. Journey was a great band, but it is only a shell of its former self.

[@jenb9274]

PLEASE …Neal SHAWN! your the only one in the industry who mispronounces his last name. I love your channel though:)

[@jrnyfan_57]

It's definitely annoying!!!

[@cy8919]

You're, not your (the only one in the industry). And yes, it's pronounced like, Shawn.

[@susansmith3896]

I can't imagine the other 3 members, having to sing and perform, knowing what's going on.

[@eternalwreck]

Im literally about to see them next week man for the first time I hope they can stick out the tour!

[@TheBlindAndTheBeautiful]

From a big Journey fan (Arnel era included)... Def Leppard's the easy winner on that tour. Your in for a treat with them. One of the best held up bands from the 80s which is crazy considering the amount of substance abuse there. Also some of the genuinely nicest guys to work around or interact with, but thats a story for a different day

[@TheBlindAndTheBeautiful]

As a Journey fan (Arenel era included)... Def Leppard's the shining part of that tour man. They are easily the best 80s band holding up today sound and stability wise. Like you'd think boos and drugs would have destroyed them. But they are strong as ever! You may have a shot with Journey being good or not depending on the night and how pissed they are at each other. Def Leppard will make up for it all I promise you that much

[@carriekoehler1986]

​@TheBlindAndTheBeautiful you're right. I saw Journey in St Louis, the first stop on the tour. Johnathan Cain looked angry, not his happy self. And that was the first stop on the tour. Hopefully they make it all the way

[@anthonytrader4666]

They are gonna finish the stadium tour but have already canceled their fall UK tour. I think its the end after the stadium tour. There is only about 12-15 shows left

[@LauraRoberts-ed9nj]

Journey is Awesome.I watch them on You Tube everyday.The Gregg Rollie days the Jonathan Cain days.I love Neal but Journey was done to me without Steve Perry.Period.❤I hate Karaoke 😂😂

[@rainefrancisco4137]

Let me hear you sing, Steve Perry is awesome but to call the current lead singer “karaoke” is a huge disrespect to Arnel, grow up man child and give credit where credit is due🤪

[@chadmooreofficial]

According to Neal, "Schon"is pronounced "Shawn," not Shown.

[@jonmaier124]

I got to see them back in April I enjoyed it this was before I knew what was going on it was a Christmas present for the concert before my bday

[@Telluridepilot]

$ 10,000 a night on a hotel room per night ?!? If the bootie performs better in a 10g a night room than in a 1g a night room then he needs to find cheaper bootie and save a ton of money. Michaella is a gold miner for sure. I read she spends tens of thousands of dollars a month on fresh roses. He’s just P whipped and so I’d Johnathan Cain though. His Reverend Gitmo Dinero wife of his.

[@LWM918]

I see Neal got some very bad plastic surgery . What a sociopath

[@timothydukeman7619]

@ 01:01... 'Yeah, I did that.' What tour did Schon's pumpkin get so big? Evolution?

[@Stevedrums741]

Having nothing to base this on as I know no one in the band, but my gut says that Cain is probably more correct than not.

[@barrykarpowich731]

STEVE,MISS YOUR VOICE ,MR SCHON YOU LOOK LIKE EDDY MUNSTER NOW THAT YOU GOT YOUR NOSE DONE 😂😂

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Gregg, you got out before things got bad.

[@robertchutonogbanua2564]

Based on the court filings, it's clear what is happening here. It seems as though Schon, as Cain alleges, is spending Journey's operating funds (not his own money) recklessly, such that some of Journey's financial obligations cannot be met (i.e., payroll). If that is true, then Journey, like other corporations, is on the verge of bankruptcy. When the monthly operating expenses exceed the monthly revenue, the company runs at a deficit, resulting in the reduction of the cash reserves. If this is true, Schon, as an owner of the company, should try to cut his own salary/expenses so that the company's financial obligations can be met. I've seen this happen to major companies, and the result is bankruptcy or dissolution. This should never have happened to Journey as they have been on the road (excluding the pandemic year) continuously since 2007. Also, they have residuals from the streaming of their catalog. This is simply unfathomable.

[@victorvarela1480]

Neal Schon replies to a Fan "BS, what do you care, I pay for it"?! The balls on this guy! Mr. Neal Schon, if it weren't for the fans, you couldn't afford a $10,000 A night hotel room! Don't forget where bread is buttered, Neal!!

[@kaikiske7436]

Schon has blown all the money 😢😢

[@jamest.7589]

Sad to see one of my childhood bands still fighting over money. Figure it out guys you're too old for this.

[@billypappyeaton3504]

Neal must needs some more Plastic Surgery .....................

[@stockkendall]

Just a cover band without Steve Perry

[@rainefrancisco4137]

Steve has move on, it’s a band called Journey with or without him give credit where credit is due.

[@biddi4]

It's pronounced "shawn". Please respect him by pronouncing his name correctly
