S Perry is the only that could mention Arnel Pineda who can not be considered as being part of the original Journey group. AP joined in 2007, way off the R&R Hall of Fame policy (or what the big man decides). S Perry was considerate and respectful.
Arnel Pineda is the singer/frontman who took the microphone 🎤 after Steve Perry’s departure. And has done an awesome job filling that role!! 👏❤️🎤👍. We love you Arnel and we love you Steve! ❤
I loved how he did some of his signature moves during this. Putting his hand to his forehead looking around, reaching his ear out next to his hand to hear the audience. So great. I'm glad he's back making music. ❤ The whole band deserves this award.
I 😢think it kinda was the songs, they are a bit like Beatles music, the songs can be sung by anyone and they are good songs, as opposed to lots of other artists where the distinctive sound itself is the strength.
Steve Perry is one class act! His speech was humble, thoughtful, sincere and selfless. And kudos to him for mentioning and acknowledging Arnel Pineda! God bless you Steve!
there is already.. his name is Arnel Pineda..it doesnt mean that Steve is not deserving but he is the founder of the Journey and Arnel Pineda is the one that continue his legacy until now and made The Journey LIve longer..
GALAXY USER1 N Journey was inducted because of their work in the late 70s, 80s, and mid 90s. Arnel has contributed to keeping the music alive but he had nothing to do with Journey's induction, and Arnel knows it. He appreciates his role.
It is a collaborative effort that got them in. Without Herbie Herbert Steve Perry may have remained an unknown. And Steve Perry without Journey isn't as good. Without Journey there would probably be no Steve Perry
@@phoenix8498 everyone doesn't do what's right. I truly respect Steve for honoring Arnel. It warmed my heart to see those two pictures of them together, they respect each other, and Steve Perry is a class act, so is Arnel.
If you'll notice just by comments alone, Neil wrote the words but its the way that Steve Perry delivered those words that made Journey a band that was worthy of being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Love you Steve!!!
Isn't it lovely that only Neal thanked Steve for his contribution. Especially when he is the reason they are in the Hall of Fame or continued to be a band after 1977. Steve proved that he is a class act and the audience absolutely adored him. What a great phenomenally talented guy. He and Pat were standouts.
Without Steve people without Steve there is no journey. There is no band the new lead singer. He's like a kid. He's good. His voice is good but he's not. Steve, there's nobody that comes even compared to Steve. Steve was Steve this pisses me off. It really does you know. Journey is awesome! Great band. Great videos MTV the time you know. Oh my god I wish he would go back. He just made another album. Steve Perry did. It's just I guess he couldn't get along. Neil schon i's just stuck on himself Well seems Neil did make the band. He came from Santana 1973. I don't know. I just I love the music. Great music never dies
Damn right, if it weren't for the road crew ... what a class act Steve is, to thank the original road crew and even go as far back as thanking the 3 people from the original fan club. See, these are the "little things" that aren't so little. He's a good guy. And, come on band members. You ALL KNOW Journey would've been a blip had it not been for Steve.
This man, he is so sensitive. I can see clearly, that he suffered so much. Even when he sang, he is sensitive. Thank you so much, for your voice, Mr Perry.
Let's be honest, people that can play instruments well in a band are a dime a dozen. It is truly the unique and powerful voice of Steve Perry and the writing ability of he and his band mates demonstrated by their great catalogue of songs that make them special. Well deserved!
When I saw Steve Perry walk up it brought tears to my eyes. Lets not forget Neal's epic guitar solos .....so melodic and musical......youve truly given us a gift.
Steve, you are a class act and my heart does a back flip when I see your face or hear your voice! Thank you for making the 80's a magical time for all of us! We love you!!!!!
Steve Perry not only has the most beautiful and powerful voice I've ever heard but is a classy man as well. I'll always love journey till the day I die. I'm 45 and being born in 74 I'm really lucky to have grown up in the 80's. It was a time of great movies and music
Wow, the roar of the crowd when Steve Perry came up to the microphone was unforgettable , estatic & amazing! Steve Perry was the voice & the sound of Journey, his legendary!
I have always loved Steve Perry's voice since I first heard it at age 13. It just stops you in your tracks, mesmerizing, nothing existed but that voice while singing. Steve Perry. 👏👏👏
💯%. Girl, there wasn't a inch of space on my br walls, that wasn't graced by Steve!!☺😂😁. My mom only tolerated it, because she thought he was a good singer 👏 👏👏 The songs were the soundtrack to my 1st boyfriend, 1st heartache, high school...
You’re right you’re still here because of Arnel Pineda... almost forgotten...thanks to Steve Smith and Steve Perry for mentioning Arnel and acknowledging his part of keeping the band rolling..
Steve Perry put Journey on the map. His voice brought the music out. It's very unfortunate how he was treated to leave the band. Arnel knows the words. But he is not able to bring Perry's emotional voice to the songs. I'm happy to see Steve is sharing his voice once again. He is the best ever. Journey needs to look at themselves and see why they didn't keep Steve with just patience. Who's crying now.
Steve Perry is just a BOSS, and a true gentleman in every sense of the word...class, class, class, oh, and arguably the greatest singer that ever walked the planet.....at least in the top 10.....thanks for your amazing music.
Steve Perry, wow! This has to be one of the classiest things to ever happen in Rock n Roll. Mr Perry, you Sir are an example for all to follow. I would’ve like to have heard you sing……but I get it.
I watched that 2017 hall of fame induction speech again and I must say Mr Perry is one class act . Out of all the speeches his stood out because he mentioned everyone of his band mates. This is just another example of why he stands out along with his talent also his real compassion-his fans will always love him. Just being for real❤️🎼🎤🎼🎤🎼🎤🎼🎤
Jesse Lee Son Nice try. Well, Schon/Cain sure as hell haven’t written any great songs since Steve Perry left-no major hits. Steve Perry is also a drummer and plays bass, and is also great at arranging songs and producing. He produced both Greatesr Hits Journey albums after leaving the band. He has a great ear too, in addition to the songwriting. Steve Perry’s solo work is really amazing while Cain’s and Schon’s solo albums suck or are very average. So, no Schon/Cain did not play a larger role in the songwriting process-total hyperbole. Cain is no songwriting genius keyboardist like David Paich.
Steve Perry is what made Journey different from the rest of the rock bands. His raw & powerful voice for rock-ballad is what made Journey reach the stars. He left Journey because of too much success that he himself cannot handle. He is really one authentic, humble, gracious & grounded man to not overlook everyone & all the fans who contributed to his & Journey’s success. And to have the grace & class to acknowledge Arnel Pineda for keeping the baton going for Journey. Steve Perry is the raw & beautiful heart for this legendary band that deserves that Hall of Fame award
The lady at 16:12 is saying "without him, there wouldn't have been a Journey..." when Steve was at the mic ...so friggin true! Steve was the voice, heart and soul of Journey. He made them the greatest band. He was the icing on the cake.
Steve was a member of that original road crew. Herbie knew the drummer/singer was not working out and had Steve hired as a roadie with the intent to move him into the lead singer role. He has fond memories of being a roadie because his boss was of Portuguese decent as well.
@@janebeatty9472 This isn't true. Perry was never a roadie. Manager Herbie Herbert brought him on board with the story that he was roadie John Villanueva's Portuguese cousin. This was a try out and introduction without upsetting current lead singer Robert Fleishman, who was not working out. The introduction was successful and Perry was hired as lead singer. His thanks to his road crew were genuine, but not because he was ever one of them.
@@amylacher5636 I believe what I said is true and partially backed up by what you are saying. Steve was a member of that roadie crew, albeit short lived.
Can you even believe the cheering when Steve Perry walked up there. Un-Real. I am just happy that they brought Steve with them. He is Journey. Even the language that he used was classy coming from him.
I love them all, but Steve is the best in his kind speech . He has a great heart!! Here in Brasil, we know Journey just because of Steve and his incredible voice!!
Got goosebumps when Steve started walking to the mic. The tension is palpable when Steve started with his speach. His new album, Traces...you guys, is a treat!
Arnel Pineda, salamat sa iyong contribution sa Journey. Ipagmalaki na ikaw ay Pilipino na nagtagumpay sa larangan ng musika. You, Arnel, kept the music of Journey, alive. Steve Perry, you are the best. I am fan.
Thank you Steve Smith and Steve Perry for appreciating and thanking Arnel for his contributions in keeping the legacy sound of Journey. Much respect to both of you!
By the way its not a slap to perry alone but to all americans.... The band is only using arnel just to grind gold to accessorized their teeth.... And one thing more perry cant sing anymore just like before,,,, i think he felt that he was about to lose his voice thats why he left not only the band but the industry as well,, as what i have observed the way he sang on his recorded video, no more steve like the Steve before that's why you americans always keep on saying no steve no journey , he is legendary he has contributed that legacy already just to keep him because you cant accept that there's a lil guy that could be able to bring back the band to the music world and to the music lovers.... 😮😮😮😮😮
Steve Perry is a class act he mentioned so many and it looked like( to me ) a couple of the Members kind of ignored him he was thoughtful and will still be the Lead man for Journey they were lucky to have him
Steve Smith and Steve Perry Acknowledge Arnel Pineda for continuing the legacy of Journey. You guys are all amazing. I would say,Journey is the best!.And wish all of them stick together to produce more music for more years to come.. City Lights? Light up the cities through your beautiful music.
That is so damn cool that he gave a shout-out to Arnel. I was really hoping he would. He brought journey back to prominence and does a hell of a job with the legacy that Steve Perry started. What an insanely talented group of musicians end one of the biggest bands that's ever been or ever will be.
Insane that it took this long for Journey to make it into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Of course all the members are legendary, but Steve's instrument just takes you to another plane of existence.
I wonder if Steve Perry really realises how good he actually is. If you ever want to wrap up the eighties in a ball it would be Journey. Steve, I love you for ever and thank you for recognising Arnel for bringing back the eighties and the best memories of my life.
@@amostlyreasonableguy - so true (although i never thought steve was the greatest ever just because of his high notes) i LOVE his neve album - especially "no erasin" and "we're still here".
broadstreet21 he told the band that he wouldn’t go back if they toured under the Journey name without him. He asked them not to crack the stone because he was definitely getting hip surgery, so blame Schon/Cain, especially Cain because he’s the one who talked Neil into replacing Steve and going on tour as Journey with Steve Augeri.
@@broadstreet21 How could he have? Surely you know that Schon and Cain got tired of waiting for him to get the hip replacement and moved on with a tour without him. They hired Steve Augeri. Even.if offered, Perry would not have accepted after that betrayal.
Kudos to Arnel for singing with journey today and keeping the music out there...but Steve Perry is and will always be the voice of Journey!! 💯 truth! ❤️. And what a great guy he is!!! Humble and grateful! Class act Steve!! ❤️❤️❤️
Steve is such a class act and so humble to thank the ones we never see, the road crew, the fan club.., True to his words, his speech was brilliantand spot on. So glad he was there! Some of bands members took their punch at Steve but he came out the winner!
And some of Arnel's fans were heckling Steve during his speech. If not for Steve, and his songwriting ability, and his incredible voice, Arnel would not even have a job.
Kura...fuk u?? What is that to mean?? Not that it should be spelled that way! Obviously you have no class with language as such lol, Amy ignore these asses👍🏻
Kudos to those journey members who has the decency to mention or acknowledged Arnel Pineda. Without Arnel, journey could have been forgotten already. Thank u steve perry
As Steve said the sound of Journey is all the musicians combined and their working together as a ensemble but it's Steve's voice that has made Journey.
Well deserved in Hall of Fame...Steve you can never be replaced because you have that beautiful voice....even though you aren't with Journey you have moved forward and came back to your passion of music.....I am always full of joy when I hear you sing❤
To see the original members of Journey together again is pure joy.😀💙 🎶Thank you for all the amazing music. Steve Perry you are a phenomenal singer and songwriter and a class act . Your voice has touched so many souls❤️🙏Deus te abencoe .
Outstanding the audience reaction when Steve was just about to speak!!! HE REALLY DESERVES IT SO MUCH!!!! Arnel is a great singer, but Steve's voice is magnificent!!!!!!!
I highly commend Mr. Steve Perry for mentioning ARNEL PINEDA who carries on the music LEGACY that Journey had long been established! My salutations to you Me. Steve Perry!
I love steve too; but don't forget, it was steve perry who fired ross valory and steve smith at one point. - on "behind the music" steve said it was one of his biggest regrets.
❤ journey will always be my band i was 16 years when I heard them I fell in love with steve Perry awesome voice. Im 60 years old now and journey is still my rock and roll band I will never get tired of there songs my #1 favorite is don't stop believing God bless them
Gosh what a legend! As a teen girl you just felt everything in Steve’s voice. He deserves to be in the RRRHOF as a soloist as well just for his voice alone. That’s my opinion.
Thank you to both Steves!.., Steve Smith and Steve Perry for appreciating Arnel's effort..you've said it right, he worked his ass-off to keep Journey's presence felt today via non-stop tours, keeping your legacy alive and more felt in this generation, making the band happy that they could play live again... I'm sure Arnel apreaciated it so much as well..
He should appreciate the fact that he's getting paid to cover a former Journey member's songs. Which is exactly what he was doing before Journey. The fact that he gets to make millions by singing another person's songs should be enough. Sure he's helped keep Journey going, but beyond that what has he really done to contribute to their success. City Of Hope is the only somewhat success that's he's helped contribute to the band. Besides that his entire tenure with Journey is just him singing Steve's songs. He should be happy that he was even mentioned at all.
Every time I watch this I turn the volume up when it's Steve Perry's turn...he deserved that!!! And I'm so glad he took a moment to take it in. People screaming "Steve Perry" the whole time all the members were on...he is so loved! And so sweet how he acknowledged Arnell...wow! What a guy! And to see Ross rubbing his back...it was really touching! Thank God he's back singing again! One of a kind...absolutely!
🙏🏻 Deze man is duidelijk niet vergeten waar het allemaal begonnen is en met wie. Respect dat hij ook denkt aan de families die hun geliefde hebben verloren a long the way...een bijzondere man met een bijzondere stem! 🙏🏻❤️🌹🎶
Everytime i watch this, steve perry is sooo genuine and found closure with his former bandmates even though some of them probably still hold some resentment towards steve. Im so glad Journey made it to Rock and roll hall of fame before any of them passed away. I wish they would make at least 1 more song together for us with steve perry but at least journey songs with steve perry will still live on in our hearts! ❤

@@michaellopez7051 Arnel came to Journey way after Steve Perry left, he didn’t replace Perry. Before Arnel there was Steve Augeri and Jeff Scott-Soto
When Perry got up to speak the crowd got LOUDER.. goes to show how much we ALL Miss him ❤️
That was the loudest the audience got. The others didn’t get this kind of reaction as Steve Perry did. Amazing.!!!
Amen--the greatest
Without Steve Perry there wouldn't be Journey
@@mireyarodriguez4490 or Ross Valery and Steve Smith
The best Malé voice ever no doubt about MR STEVE PERRY
Steve humbly stood behind. But keepin it real. Without Steve, no Journey. Epic vocals.
Arnold has been lead si ger for about 15 years now I think.
@@michellewilson9022 great cover guy.
Arnel Pineda is the singer/frontman who took the microphone 🎤 after Steve Perry’s departure. And has done an awesome job filling that role!! 👏❤️🎤👍. We love you Arnel and we love you Steve! ❤
This is why Steve was the front man, it’s more than just his singing. It’s his ability to connect with an audience - ❤️
The way the audience reacted when Steve Perry started walking towards the mic. Crazy loud!!
I loved how he did some of his signature moves during this. Putting his hand to his forehead looking around, reaching his ear out next to his hand to hear the audience. So great. I'm glad he's back making music. ❤ The whole band deserves this award.
Neil was a guitarist for Santana at 15...Is it any wonder his Ego is such😅😅
Steve Perry is what made Journey who they are today... ❤❤
sound alikes
I just saw the person who has replaced him. He has been with Journey for 16 years. I am not impressed by his singing.
I 😢think it kinda was the songs, they are a bit like Beatles music, the songs can be sung by anyone and they are good songs, as opposed to lots of other artists where the distinctive sound itself is the strength.
They made each other, as Steve has rightly said.
FACT !
Most bands in the world would do anything to have singers like Steve Perry. What a gift!
He was and is surely the real deal! We need a reunion with him and have Gregg Rollie as Co Keyboardist!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉Only one that was in the Best of Journey ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ 😊😊😊😊
Steve Perry is one class act! His speech was humble, thoughtful, sincere and selfless. And kudos to him for mentioning and acknowledging Arnel Pineda! God bless you Steve!
Steve Smith also
Steve mentioned him too
Oh yes he is!
@Phil Olivieri....that was classy of him to do that ! Arnel has been rock solid for Journey!! 👍
@@patd1956 yes he did. All other members of Journey didn't mention Arnel even as a side note
"Speaking of fans, speaking of fans... " Wonderful! Thank you. S Perry - one of the greatest.
Steve Perry has the most greatest voice ever! No one can sing like him! All time best!!
There will never ever be another person who can sing like Steve Perry.
I am so so so agree with you 😂❤❤❤
Never a truer word spoken
True
there is already.. his name is Arnel Pineda..it doesnt mean that Steve is not deserving but he is the founder of the Journey and Arnel Pineda is the one that continue his legacy until now and made The Journey LIve longer..
Deadassssss
There is no journey without Steve he's awesome
Steve Perry is a CLASS ACT....His voice was what made Journey. Congrats. Well deserved
Steve Perry is the most gracious, thoughtful, and sincere front man. He clearly is a man of connection and a true gentleman. ❤
Steve Perry's speech was icing on the cake. I also appreciated his shout out to Arnel. 🙂
Steve perry makes this gray haired grandma 👵 feel young again thank you for the the memories
Steve was very gracious to acknowledge Arnell. Truly he (Steve) is one of the greatest voices of all times!
you don't know without Arnel, officers in Hall of Fame would not recognize journey twice.
GALAXY USER1 N what are you talking about?????
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Journey was well on their way to the RRHOF without that karaoke singer Pineda.
GALAXY USER1 N Journey was inducted because of their work in the late 70s, 80s, and mid 90s. Arnel has contributed to keeping the music alive but he had nothing to do with Journey's induction, and Arnel knows it. He appreciates his role.
Steve Perry sure showed allot of class. He’s shown so much gratitude & isn’t full of himself. I wish that he would tour with them again.
At 16:13 "you see, without him, there would be no Journey up on that stage" truer words were never spoken.
I noticed that, too! I was reading her lips, and she is 1,000% correct!!!
Thanks for pointing that out - I hadn't noticed that before. Who is she, and moreover, who is that guy with that look on his face??
It is a collaborative effort that got them in. Without Herbie Herbert Steve Perry may have remained an unknown. And Steve Perry without Journey isn't as good. Without Journey there would probably be no Steve Perry
@phelpsmarc there would have been a Steve Perry, someone would have discovered him... no doubt about that
Steve Perry is journey. Period.
without steve's iconic voice, journey wouldn't be here
Or Neal’s playing. The 2 best members of that band.
STEVE PERRY IS A LEGEND!! JOURNEY IS THE BEST!! ❤❤❤❤🎸🎸🥁🥁🎺🎺🎤🎤
Steve Perry paid a beautiful "shout out to ARNEL PINEDA for continuing the Journey legacy
There is no JOURNEY without Steve Perry. And he is so HUMBLE to acknowledge Arnel Pineda !!
Well said !
He just did what was right. Arnel Pineda won his place in the band rightfully.

There was a journey before Perry

Ross Valory’s wife, Diane, wrote the words to most of their songs.
Steve also wrote many of their songs
I love how Steve reaches out to the audience like he used to.❤

there is no genius without suffering
GOD GIVEN TALENT ALL OVER THAT STAGE ❤🎉
I was raised on Journey and raised my children on them too!!!

I'm sitting here bawling like a newborn calf again. To see both of the original lineups all on stage together is an iconic moment in music history.
I loved Steve Perry because he is so humble and down-to-earth Hall Of Famer singer! He did mentioned Arnel Pineda more time in his speech 👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍
Wow, the roar of the crowd when Steve Perry came up to the microphone was unforgettable , estatic & amazing! Steve Perry was the voice & the sound of Journey, his legendary!

@@janebeatty9472 This isn't true. Perry was never a roadie. Manager Herbie Herbert brought him on board with the story that he was roadie John Villanueva's Portuguese cousin. This was a try out and introduction without upsetting current lead singer Robert Fleishman, who was not working out. The introduction was successful and Perry was hired as lead singer. His thanks to his road crew were genuine, but not because he was ever one of them.
@@amylacher5636 I believe what I said is true and partially backed up by what you are saying. Steve was a member of that roadie crew, albeit short lived.
Can you even believe the cheering when Steve Perry walked up there. Un-Real. I am just happy that they brought Steve with them. He is Journey. Even the language that he used was classy coming from him.
I love them all, but Steve is the best in his kind speech . He has a great heart!! Here in Brasil, we know Journey just because of Steve and his incredible voice!!
What a wonderful man. So humble and gracious. So happy he's back, he is one in a million! 💙
Got goosebumps when Steve started walking to the mic. The tension is palpable when Steve started with his speach. His new album, Traces...you guys, is a treat!
The album it's feakin' amazing!
Great musicians in Journey but for me it would not have reached the heights it did without the incredible voice of Steve Perry.
Steven Ray Perry, the Lead Singer above all lead singers.
The lead singer's Lead Singer.
A Legend then, now and always.
Arnel Pineda, salamat sa iyong contribution sa Journey. Ipagmalaki na ikaw ay Pilipino na nagtagumpay sa larangan ng musika. You, Arnel, kept the music of Journey, alive. Steve Perry, you are the best. I am fan.
Thank you Steve Smith and Steve Perry for appreciating and thanking Arnel for his contributions in keeping the legacy sound of Journey. Much respect to both of you!
By the way its not a slap to perry alone but to all americans.... The band is only using arnel just to grind gold to accessorized their teeth.... And one thing more perry cant sing anymore just like before,,,, i think he felt that he was about to lose his voice thats why he left not only the band but the industry as well,, as what i have observed the way he sang on his recorded video, no more steve like the Steve before that's why you americans always keep on saying no steve no journey , he is legendary he has contributed that legacy already just to keep him because you cant accept that there's a lil guy that could be able to bring back the band to the music world and to the music lovers.... 😮😮😮😮😮
@@chrisdanielsanchez6317 well said. Thank you Arnel Pineda for saving this band.
Holy crap Steve Perry wow what a speech...I love him thanking the band, Herbie, Neal, the fans
Steve Perry is a class act he mentioned so many and it looked like( to me ) a couple of the Members kind of ignored him he was thoughtful and will still be the Lead man for Journey they were lucky to have him
Steve Perry deserves to have a gold statue of him at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame-Best singer ever!
Steve Smith and Steve Perry Acknowledge Arnel Pineda for continuing the legacy of Journey. You guys are all amazing. I would say,Journey is the best!.And wish all of them stick together to produce more music for more years to come.. City Lights? Light up the cities through your beautiful music.
Steve Perry was last and the best speech he got the most applause and he thanked the fans ❤️❤️❤️❤️
People love him
Steve Perry, your speech was priceless and a class act! You are so loved and missed!! Forever Classic Journey!!
Agreed!
Agreed!
Agreed!
@@tracyg8772 All you all chill cause that is a fake SP... an imposter.
Steve Perry is Journey !!
Steve Perry made the best speech. I been a fan for 34 years. Love journey
That is so damn cool that he gave a shout-out to Arnel. I was really hoping he would. He brought journey back to prominence and does a hell of a job with the legacy that Steve Perry started. What an insanely talented group of musicians end one of the biggest bands that's ever been or ever will be.
Steve made Journey. Arnel saved it.
I think Steve gave the Best speech of all!❤❤
Steve Perry is the definition of class!!
I absolutely agree, there wouldn't even be a Journey if it wasn't for the amazing Steve Perry. And Arnel Pineda is doing a wonderful job as well.
perry may be a class act , but he had aynsley dunbar fired. he thought aynsley was overpowering his voice. go figure
Insane that it took this long for Journey to make it into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Of course all the members are legendary, but Steve's instrument just takes you to another plane of existence.
Karen a They always said they wouldn’t make it in because the critics hated their music. We fans did not let the critics win.
I wonder if Steve Perry really realises how good he actually is. If you ever want to wrap up the eighties in a ball it would be Journey. Steve, I love you for ever and thank you for recognising Arnel for bringing back the eighties and the best memories of my life.
You should check out Steve’s new solo album. He can’t wail the high notes anymore but the man can still sing and the songs are nice.
@@amostlyreasonableguy I won't love again is my favorite.
Me to
And his never in people's top 10 rock vocalists he has such a beautiful voice
@@amostlyreasonableguy - so true (although i never thought steve was the greatest ever just because of his high notes) i LOVE his neve album - especially "no erasin" and "we're still here".
The greatest thing about Steve Perry apart from his voice, is his humility.
Really? If he had humility, he would have rejoined the band after the hip replacement.
But steve perry fans are not humble enough to accept journey has a new singer. I hope his diehard fans follow perry's humility
@@broadstreet21 the band lrt hom go ok, he didn't quit.
broadstreet21 he told the band that he wouldn’t go back if they toured under the Journey name without him. He asked them not to crack the stone because he was definitely getting hip surgery, so blame Schon/Cain, especially Cain because he’s the one who talked Neil into replacing Steve and going on tour as Journey with Steve Augeri.
@@broadstreet21 How could he have? Surely you know that Schon and Cain got tired of waiting for him to get the hip replacement and moved on with a tour without him. They hired Steve Augeri. Even.if offered, Perry would not have accepted after that betrayal.
Steve is really one of a kind, I'm his fan from Perú. What a wonderful voice, his talent is unique. Greetings from Piura Perú.
Steve is so loved by all Journey fans. And fans who know what an angelic voice he has. 🤍🙏🏻🤍
Kudos to Arnel for singing with journey today and keeping the music out there...but Steve Perry is and will always be the voice of Journey!! 💯 truth! ❤️. And what a great guy he is!!! Humble and grateful! Class act Steve!! ❤️❤️❤️
Steve is such a class act and so humble to thank the ones we never see, the road crew, the fan club.., True to his words, his speech was brilliantand spot on. So glad he was there! Some of bands members took their punch at Steve but he came out the winner!
No one 'took their punch at Steve'. There was nothing but love on that stage that night.
Steve Perry giving Arnel his props...Epic honor. Love them all, grew up with their music
Steve Perry such a generous guy to even callout Arnel when the latter's bandmate didn't. Steve such a legend.
And some of Arnel's fans were heckling Steve during his speech. If not for Steve, and his songwriting ability, and his incredible voice, Arnel would not even have a job.
Amy Lacher you sure????????
@@TheLovesGreen what job.!!! this is a team band.fuk u
Kura...fuk u?? What is that to mean?? Not that it should be spelled that way! Obviously you have no class with language as such lol, Amy ignore these asses👍🏻
Crayon 9, go back to your crayons , either your too young to know or your just DUMB!
When Steve started talking, I was so happy that tears suddenly appeared on my eyes. No. I’m not crying. Well...who am I kidding??
Long live Steve! ✨❤️
Kudos to those journey members who has the decency to mention or acknowledged Arnel Pineda. Without Arnel, journey could have been forgotten already. Thank u steve perry
As Steve said the sound of Journey is all the musicians combined and their working together as a ensemble but it's Steve's voice that has made Journey.
You should check out his new Steve Perry solo album he finally put out. It’s worth a listen.
Well deserved in Hall of Fame...Steve you can never be replaced because you have that beautiful voice....even though you aren't with Journey you have moved forward and came back to your passion of music.....I am always full of joy when I hear you sing❤
To see the original members of Journey together again is pure joy.😀💙 🎶Thank you for all the amazing music. Steve Perry you are a phenomenal singer and songwriter and a class act . Your voice has touched so many souls❤️🙏Deus te abencoe .
Steve was so humble to thank the original road crew. Such a gentleman. Love you, Steve!!!!
Outstanding the audience reaction when Steve was just about to speak!!! HE REALLY DESERVES IT SO MUCH!!!! Arnel is a great singer, but Steve's voice is magnificent!!!!!!!
All these old school bands could never be replaced. Thank You for the memories through out the years. I’m 63 years old. God Bless you 👍❤️
Steve Perry is so humble and his smile is priceless.
I highly commend Mr. Steve Perry for mentioning ARNEL PINEDA who carries on the music LEGACY that Journey had long been established! My salutations to you Me. Steve Perry!
May Melodz yes. For Steve Perry does Class Act unlike his former band members who kicked him to the curb
I love steve too; but don't forget, it was steve perry who fired ross valory and steve smith at one point. - on "behind the music" steve said it was one of his biggest regrets.
May Melodz wow thanks to you,w/out Arnel journey will be @ its END,anayway thanks for giving arnel a break
That is the utmost respect!
Exactly he was classy right there of all people he was the one who remembered from one great singer to another. Luv you Steve!!!
❤ journey will always be my band i was 16 years when I heard them I fell in love with steve Perry awesome voice. Im 60 years old now and journey is still my rock and roll band I will never get tired of there songs my #1 favorite is don't stop believing God bless them
Gosh what a legend! As a teen girl you just felt everything in Steve’s voice. He deserves to be in the RRRHOF as a soloist as well just for his voice alone. That’s my opinion.
Steve and Gregg looked the best, and they both gave the most heartfelt and best speeches. I watched it four times!! Perry was stunning!
Auntie...ROTFL
Wheels 216, I 2nd that comment!!
You know, I kind of wished they both were on the band together.
Thank you to both Steves!.., Steve Smith and Steve Perry for appreciating Arnel's effort..you've said it right, he worked his ass-off to keep Journey's presence felt today via non-stop tours, keeping your legacy alive and more felt in this generation, making the band happy that they could play live again... I'm sure Arnel apreaciated it so much as well..
Yes
Yes. Even younger generation
He's not an original band member, get over it!
He should appreciate the fact that he's getting paid to cover a former Journey member's songs. Which is exactly what he was doing before Journey. The fact that he gets to make millions by singing another person's songs should be enough. Sure he's helped keep Journey going, but beyond that what has he really done to contribute to their success. City Of Hope is the only somewhat success that's he's helped contribute to the band. Besides that his entire tenure with Journey is just him singing Steve's songs. He should be happy that he was even mentioned at all.
@@tonjamarsjall3802 Get over what?
Every time I watch this I turn the volume up when it's Steve Perry's turn...he deserved that!!! And I'm so glad he took a moment to take it in. People screaming "Steve Perry" the whole time all the members were on...he is so loved! And so sweet how he acknowledged Arnell...wow! What a guy! And to see Ross rubbing his back...it was really touching! Thank God he's back singing again! One of a kind...absolutely!
🙏🏻 Deze man is duidelijk niet vergeten waar het allemaal begonnen is en met wie. Respect dat hij ook denkt aan de families die hun geliefde hebben verloren a long the way...een bijzondere man met een bijzondere stem! 🙏🏻❤️🌹🎶
Everytime i watch this, steve perry is sooo genuine and found closure with his former bandmates even though some of them probably still hold some resentment towards steve. Im so glad Journey made it to Rock and roll hall of fame before any of them passed away. I wish they would make at least 1 more song together for us with steve perry but at least journey songs with steve perry will still live on in our hearts! ❤
