Like I say in the post. I’m coming into this story late, but I know from talking to people that there are alot of people who still think Steve Perry is singing, who are clueless.
The documentary came out over a year ago, so even with that this is an old story, but I contend that there are alot of people like me who were never big Journey fans, and complacent about their music.
The songs are definitely almost perfect. The doc also shows how truly professional these guys are, but there again Arnel Pineda was honing his craft for over 20 years. It’s a wonder he didn’t “burn out” before getting his chance.
BTW, does anyone know why Steve Perry quit the band?
After his mother became ill, he spent less and less time on the road. When she died, he quit music all-together for several years, even giving up on his second solo project. I don't think there was a falling-out, just a going-of-separate-ways.
