Journey (band)
In 2024, the song "Don't Stop Believin'" was certified 18-times platinum by the RIAA. No digital track in United States history had sold more. The song belongs to Journey, an American rock band put together in San Francisco in 1973 by musicians who had played with Santana, the Steve Miller Band, and Frumious Bandersnatch. Its earliest records leaned toward progressive rock and jazz fusion, with little hint of arena anthems.
So how did musicians who began as a backing group end up with a hit of that scale? Why did a band with 25 gold and platinum albums keep losing its lead singers? And who gets to say what the name Journey means, once its own members start suing one another?
Herbie Herbert, a former manager of Santana, assembled the first Journey lineup to back established Bay Area artists. It went by the name Golden Gate Rhythm Section. Neal Schon on lead guitar and Gregg Rolie on keyboards and lead vocals came over from Santana. Bassist Ross Valory had played with both Frumious Bandersnatch and the Steve Miller Band, and George Tickner of Frumious Bandersnatch took rhythm guitar. Prairie Prince of The Tubes sat behind the drums.
The group's first public show was at the Winterland Ballroom on New Year's Eve 1973, in front of 10,000 people. The next day it flew to Hawaii and played the Diamond Head Crater for a crowd of more than 100,000. After that Hawaii show, the backup plan was dropped in favor of a jazz fusion style of its own. A radio contest to find a name went nowhere, and roadie John Villanueva finally suggested "Journey."
On the 1st of February 1974, Prince having gone back to The Tubes, the band hired British drummer Aynsley Dunbar after auditioning as many as 28 candidates. Dunbar had recently worked with David Bowie and had played in the second version of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. The new lineup debuted on the 5th of February 1974 at the Great American Music Hall, with Columbia Records executives in the room. A recording contract with the label followed.
Journey went into CBS Studios in November 1974 with producer Roy Halee to make its debut album. The record entered the Billboard charts at number 138 in April 1975. The touring that came with it drove Tickner out of the band and out of music, to study medicine, which left Schon as the only guitarist. Look into the Future followed in January 1976 and entered at number 100. The band promoted it with a two-hour show at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle that later aired on the radio.
Next was recorded at His Master's Wheels Studios from May to October 1976 and produced by the band itself. It sounded more commercial while keeping the jazz fusion and progressive rock roots, and it charted at number 85. Sales still did not improve, and Columbia came close to dropping the group. Schon later admitted that some of the music from those years was self-indulgent jamming, though he still believed some of it was great.
Robert Fleischman was hired after Columbia asked Journey to adopt a more popular style and add a frontman who would share lead vocals with Rolie. The target sound resembled Foreigner and Boston. In 1977 the band toured with Fleischman, opening for Black Sabbath, Target, Judas Priest, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. The new lineup also began working on "Wheel in the Sky."
At Soldier Field in Chicago, before about 100,000 people, the band was introduced to a singer named Steve Perry. Friction between Fleischman and Herbert ended Fleischman's time in the band that September. Journey hired Perry on the 10th of October 1977, and he made his live debut at the Old Waldorf on the 28th of October.
Roy Thomas Baker was brought in as producer because of the layered sound he had given Queen. Infinity came out in January 1978 and peaked at number 21 on the US Billboard 200. The tour behind it was the first on which Journey headlined, beginning with a bill that included Van Halen and Ronnie Montrose.
Aynsley Dunbar did not take to the new direction. According to Herbert, Dunbar was unhappy about leaving jazz fusion behind. Schon recalled: "We would talk about it, and he'd say he'd be willing to simplify things, but we'd get out there, and after five shows, he wasn't doing that at all." Dunbar began playing erratically and speaking badly of his bandmates. Herbert fired him shortly after the Infinity tour ended at the Day on the Green concert in the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on the 2nd of September 1978. Steve Smith, a Berklee-trained drummer who had played with Montrose, took his place.
Evolution arrived in March 1979 and peaked at number 20. "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" reached number 16, the band's first Hot 100 top-20 single. The tour grossed more than $5 million, so Journey added its own lighting and trucking operation. Departure followed in March 1980 and peaked at number eight, with "Any Way You Want It" reaching number 23 on the Hot 100.
Gregg Rolie left after the Departure tour to start a family and pursue solo projects. It was the second successful act he had walked away from. Stevie "Keys" Roseman recorded the one studio track on the live album Captured, "The Party's Over (Hopelessly in Love)." Rolie then suggested Jonathan Cain, a pianist from The Babys, as his permanent replacement. Cain's synthesizers took over from Rolie's organ, and by late 1980 the band was recording at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California.
Escape reached number one in the United States on its release in July 1981, and it remains the most successful album Journey ever made. Four of its singles are still among the band's best known: "Who's Crying Now," "Still They Ride," "Open Arms," and "Don't Stop Believin'."
The tour began on the 12th of June 1981, with Billy Squier, Greg Kihn Band, Point Blank, and Loverboy as support. On the 25th of September, Journey opened for the Rolling Stones at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. MTV filmed one of two sold-out shows at The Summit in Houston on the 6th of November 1981, in front of more than 20,000 fans. That footage later reached DVD.
A fan club called "Journey Force" arrived after the 1981 tour, along with the band's formal incorporation as a business. In 1982 Journey contributed "Only Solutions" and "1990s Theme" to the Disney film Tron. Schon found time to record with Jan Hammer, and the band toured North America and Japan.
Frontiers was recorded at Fantasy Studios in the middle of that 1982 tour and released in February 1983. It sold over six million copies and peaked at number two on the Billboard charts. In the United Kingdom it reached number six, which widened the band's audience there. Its singles were "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)," "Faithfully," "Send Her My Love," and "After the Fall."
The Frontiers tour opened in Japan and moved to North America with Bryan Adams as the opening act. NFL Films followed the band on the road for a documentary called Frontiers and Beyond. It shot scenes back at JFK Stadium, where more than 80,000 fans turned out.
Cain later offered his own explanation for the mix of sounds. He described the band's style as "sort of a gumbo of American music" and "a hybrid of the radio of the '60s," recalling Chicago stations such as WCFL and WLS that played soul, rock, and blues in a single hour. Early influences ranged from Motown and The Who to Deep Purple, Al Green, Tina Turner, and Johnny Cash. Cain added that when he joined, he and Perry agreed that neither of them preferred any one genre.
Street Talk, released in 1984, was Steve Perry's first solo album, made with help from Herbie Herbert. The band had taken time off after the Frontiers tour. That same year Schon toured briefly with his supergroup HSAS, whose only album, Through the Fire, came out on Geffen.
At the end of 1984 the band sold off its properties, and people wondered whether Journey was finished. Schon answered: "No way Journey's ending. We're all too committed to this band to ever let that happen." He said the separate paths were meant to keep the band strong.
In late 1985, after a phone call between Cain and Perry, the band returned to Fantasy Studios to make Raised on Radio, with Perry as producer. A few months into the sessions, Herbert and Perry fired bassist Ross Valory and drummer Steve Smith over musical and professional differences. Valory later admitted he had left of his own accord. Randy Jackson, later a judge on American Idol, filled in on bass, alongside bassist Bob Glaub and drummer Larrie Londin.
Raised on Radio came out in May 1986 and peaked at number four, a step down from the previous two albums. "Be Good to Yourself" reached the top 10. Four more singles followed: "Suzanne," "Girl Can't Help It," "I'll Be Alright Without You," and "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever?" The tour began at Angels Camp in August 1986 and ended with two shows in Anchorage in early 1987. Jackson played bass and Mike Baird played drums, and MTV filmed a documentary that shared the album's title.
Herbert had booked fifteen more shows, and Perry turned them down. Touring was hurting his health and his voice, and he told Schon and Cain he was finished. They met at the edge of the marina in San Rafael, and Perry later recalled his words: "I just don't want to be in the band any more. I want to get out, I want to stop."
The compilation Greatest Hits came out in November 1988 and sold over 15 million copies. It still sold half a million to a million copies a year, and it spent 750 weeks on the Billboard album charts until 2008. Meanwhile Schon and Cain formed Bad English in 1988 with John Waite and Ricky Phillips, Cain's former bandmates from The Babys, and drummer Deen Castronovo. The group released two albums, in 1989 and 1991.
On the 3rd of November 1991, Schon, Cain, and Perry reunited onstage at Golden Gate Park for a tribute to promoter Bill Graham, who had died in a helicopter accident. They played "Faithfully" and "Lights." In 1994 Perry released his second solo album, For the Love of Strange Medicine, and toured North America, though his voice had changed since he last performed.
Perry agreed to reunite on one condition, that Herbie Herbert no longer manage the band. In October 1995 Journey hired Irving Azoff, longtime manager of the Eagles. Steve Smith and Ross Valory rejoined, and rehearsals for a new record began that month.
Trial by Fire was recorded in early 1996 with producer Kevin Shirley, partly in Marin County and partly at Ocean Way Recorders. It came out in late October and peaked at number three. "When You Love a Woman" reached number 12 and earned a Grammy nomination in 1997 for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
In August 1996, on a 10-day break in Hawaii, Perry felt pain while hiking and learned he had a degenerative bone condition. He could not perform without hip-replacement surgery, and for some time he declined it. The episode delayed the album's release and ended plans for a tour.
By 1998 the band was restless. Following another call with Cain, Perry announced that he was leaving, released the band from its contracts, and withdrew from public life. Smith left as well, saying Journey would not be the same without Perry. Castronovo, who had played with Schon and Cain in Bad English and Hardline, took over on drums.
After auditioning several high-profile candidates, among them Geoff Tate, Kevin Chalfant, and John West, Journey chose Steve Augeri, formerly of Tyketto and Tall Stories. His first song with the band was "Remember Me," on the soundtrack of the 1998 film Armageddon. Four gigs in Japan followed. Asked about touring for the first time in over a decade, Schon said: "It's a little like we are reborn again."
Arrival was recorded with Shirley at Avatar Studios from March to August 2000 and reached number 56 in the United States after its April 2001 release. The single "All the Way" failed to lift sales, reviews were mixed, and Sony dropped the band. On the 20th and the 21st of October 2001, Journey joined other acts at a fundraiser in Dallas for victims of the September 11 attacks. The event raised about $1 million.
By the 2006 tour with Def Leppard, fans were accusing Augeri of covering a failing voice with backing tracks. Herbert insists the accusation was true. In a 2022 interview, Augeri said he was not legally allowed to say. The band announced that he had to step down to recover, and his last show was on the 4th of July in Raleigh. Jeff Scott Soto of Talisman sang his first show on the 7th of July in Bristow. On the 12th of June 2007, Journey announced that Soto was gone. Schon said: "He did a tremendous job for us and we wish him the best. We've just decided to go our separate ways, no pun intended. We're plotting our next move now."
Neal Schon turned to YouTube to find a new lead vocalist. Jeremey Hunsicker of the Journey tribute band Frontiers auditioned and spent a week writing with the group. He claims he was formally offered the job, but the offer collapsed after tension with Schon. A song they wrote together, "Never Walk Away," later appeared on the album Revelation.
Then Schon found Arnel Pineda, a Filipino singer in the cover band The Zoo, performing "Faithfully." Impressed, Schon set up two days of auditions. Pineda was named the official lead vocalist on the 5th of December 2007.
Some fans reacted with racist comments, even though earlier members had included British drummer Aynsley Dunbar and African American bassist Randy Jackson. Cain answered in the Marin Independent Journal: "We've become a world band. We're international now. We're not about one color."
In 2007 the final episode of The Sopranos used "Don't Stop Believin'," and digital downloads of the song soared. By 2009 it was the top-selling song on iTunes among those released before 2000.
Pineda's first show with Journey came on the 21st of February 2008, in front of 20,000 fans in Chile. Revelation was released on the 3rd of June 2008 and debuted at number five, selling more than 196,000 units in its first two weeks. It was a two-CD set, and each set counted as one sale. "After All These Years" spent over 23 weeks on the Adult Contemporary chart and peaked at number nine. The 2008 tour brought in over $35,000,000, among the year's biggest, and the RIAA certified the album platinum on the 18th of December.
On the 1st of February 2009, Journey played the Super Bowl XLIII pregame show in Tampa. In Manila the band performed for 30,000 fans, and the show was recorded as Live in Manila. Eclipse came out on the 24th of May 2011 and debuted at number 13. That October the band received the Legend of Live Award at the Billboard Touring Awards. A documentary about Pineda's first year, Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey, directed by Ramona S. Diaz, was released on the 8th of March 2013.
In June 2015 Castronovo was arrested after a domestic altercation, and Journey fired him in August. Omar Hakim covered the 2015 tour, and Steve Smith returned in 2016. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Journey on the 7th of April 2017 at the Barclays Center in New York City, with Pat Monahan giving the introduction. Dunbar, Rolie, Valory, Schon, Perry, Smith, and Cain all gave speeches. Everyone except Perry played, and Pineda sang in his place. In 2018 the tour with Def Leppard topped the Billboard Hot Tours List, earning more than $30 million over 17 shows.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the song became an anthem for patients leaving New York Presbyterian Queens Hospital and Henry Ford Health System after recovering from the virus. On the 21st of August 2021, Journey performed it at "We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert," held to celebrate the city's emergence from the pandemic.
On the 3rd of March 2020, Schon and Cain announced that they had fired Steve Smith and Ross Valory and were suing them. They accused the pair of an "attempted corporate coup d'état" and sought damages above $10 million. The suit alleged that the two wanted to hold the Journey name hostage to secure future income. Valory and Smith contested the firings, backed by Perry and Herbert. Court filings revealed that Perry had been paid as a band member for years while not performing.
Valory countersued over the Journey trademark. He argued that Schon and Cain's partnership, Elmo Partners, had only been a licensee of the mark from 1985 to 1994. Herbert, through Nightmare Productions, had ended that license. On the 1st of April 2021, the two sides announced a settlement. Randy Jackson returned on bass, and Narada Michael Walden became the new drummer.
The single "The Way We Used to Be" was released on the 24th of June 2021. Castronovo rejoined as a second drummer that July. Jackson's back surgery brought in Marco Mendoza on bass, but Schon felt Mendoza did not fit, and Todd Jensen replaced him after a few months. Freedom, the band's 15th studio album, was released on the 8th of July 2022. Walden left after a minor heart attack following a show in Pennsylvania, and Jackson was gone too, though both still appear on the record.
On the 21st of September 2022, Perry sued Schon and Cain over song trademark registrations. He dropped the suit on the 7th of January 2023. Two months later, Schon sued Cain over a credit card dispute. In December 2022, Schon had served Cain with a cease and desist order after Cain played "Don't Stop Believin'" for Donald Trump. Schon said Cain "has no right to use Journey for politics."
In July 2024, Cain filed another suit, accusing Schon of misusing the band's credit cards in a way that led to the cancellation of a tour of the UK and Ireland. On the 22nd of September 2024, after a Rock in Rio show where he struggled with his ear monitors, Pineda answered critics on Facebook. He offered to leave the band if one million fans commented "Go" on his post.
On the 10th of October 2025, the band announced that Cain would leave after a final tour and that Journey would continue without him. On the 6th of November 2025, it announced the North American leg of the Final Frontier Tour, which began in February 2026. Keyboardist Jason Derlatka, a member since 2020, was already in the lineup.
