Journey - Wheel In The Sky (REACTION!!!) 

AMEN!! (“The Search Is Over” by Survivor is my close 2nd for ultimate rock love ballad.)

Faithfully is Journey's best ballad imo. No doubt about it.

@@BoUrnNe26 "when you love a woman" is a very close second

Me too!

Oh, Hands down for me. Faithfully sends me out and gives me chills and goosebumps every time I hear him carry out that long note at the end....I'm laid out and done. There's a reason why he was named "The Voice".

That note was fuckin insane

Yep a little too hidden in reverb. Awesome!

Sounded like Brad Delp from Boston!

He does it in ‘Mother, Father’ as well.

Has always been my favorite "scream" yet so hidden and haunting.

Donna M "The Voice" is what I like to call him

Neal Schon is Journey. And when Greg Rolie left and the contrast between Steve and Greg was lost, a lot of the magic of Journey was lost.

Donna M, Neil Schon is very underrated. I think you’re sleeping on him. Excellent Guitarist and song writer.

I saw Journey at an outdoor concert in Miami in 1983-unforgettable! They played with Sammy Hagar (not bad), Aerosmith (minus Joe Perry😐) and Bryan Adams (sucked). Journey was AMAZING!

@@Nina-rg8es I saw Journey at an outdoor show in New Orleans w/ Foghat, Zebra and Bryan Adams.

Lights is a great song..!

Feeling That Way is another one..!

@@2869may daydream I think is a very under rated song. But I think Escape doesn't get enough listening also

YESSS LIGHTS

I really like " Who's Crying Now ~ "

Oh man is that a good song. Brings back so many memories from my tween/teen years in the '80s. Gives me the warm and fuzzies.

K L ...from the “Vision Quest” soundtrack! Great tune

Includes one of my top 5 Neal Schon solos.

That is Steve Perry.One the best vocal of all time.

Absolutely!

Brad Delp!!!

Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder deserve it too

Rob Halford and Brent Smith should be in that running

Kerry livgren

Live from Houston, Tx!!!!

Houston live

Good tune

@@renee-kingsdaughter5584 Thanks! One of my favorite classic rock songs, never heard that version though!

@@Nikadeemus88 ...... You're very welcome!!! The Journey Escape concert in Houston, is simply the BEST!!! Journey was in that time in their prime! Mother Father was done in perfection, in that concert as well!!

Neal Schon and keyboardist Greg Rolle were in Santana together. Played at Woodstock with Santana, so that's legit af. Rolle sang lead on "Black Magic Woman", huge hit for Santana. They left Santana to start Journey. Rolle sang lead for their first three albums before Steve Perry joined. He retired after three more albums and was replaced by Jonathan Cain, who wrote or cowrote some of Journey's biggest hits.

Another fact, before Jonathan Cain joined Journey, he was in the Babys, with John Waite.

Another fact, I didn't know any of that

After Journey broke up, Waite, Schon and Cain formed a group called Bad English. Their first album was pretty good, had a couple of hit singles. Pretty standard 80's pop rock, but good 80's pop rock. I think they put out a second one but if they did I didn't notice.

@@joepegel Bad English!

anakina1 thank you for pointing that out. I don’t think either one noticed that . I never knew it until I read it in a comment about the video.

Yep. They missed it. I never heard it before either and I’ve heard this song a million times on the radio. Last year I heard it. I was floored! Ok guys, you need to see the performance. Then you’ll see that was Steve with that high, looong note. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MxGEVIvSFeY.html

Gotta include Steve Perry up there with the likes of Freddie. Incredible voice.

That’s an important part of that song

Sweet and Simple is way under rated and my favorite Journey song...

Best outro solo of all time.

Freddie Mercury might have something to say about that.. but he's close.

@@danielchavez8005 I adore Freddie and Freddie wouldn't have much to say. Freddie is one of the top 10 greatest male singers of all time. Steve's body of live work cannot be touched he was absolutely flawless for 20 yrs.

One of the greatest for sure, but there are also: Brad Delp, Freddie M., J.L. Turner, Goran Edman, Ian Gillan, Ronnie J. Dio, David Coverdale, R. Plant...

@@NikolaEON I get it these guys are all amazing but Steve sang note for note for 20 yrs without sonic variation playing the most ridiculous tour schedule a band has ever been asked to do.

What about Paul Rogers?always left out of these lists

THAT is the best of journey..

So happy to see this comment!! Feeling That Way in particular is a criminally underrated song, imo. One of my all-time favorite songs ever

Also... "just the same way" is my jam jam!! Lol

THIS RIGHT HERE! The absolute best of all!

yep. they should do the chain and actually make an exception and read about the song and the album before they listen to it to get the general idea about the whole sopa opera going on in the band :D

@@jakubmichalski4305 yup, context is what makes that tune outstanding. I'm not even a classic rock fan, but that entire album demands respect nomatter what your tastes are.

The only Fleetwood Mac song I like. It’s a good tune with healthy transitions.

I love Fleetwood Mac and their best songs you can feel the irritation and anger creating unbelievable chemistry.

Any Fleetwood Mac would work for me. Love them!!

DeeLyn Beard They said they’re not gonna do Pantera after Phil’s white power comment several years ago. They did a Vinny Paul tribute after he died though.

@@antonlarter2123 Perhaps they can do the Between The Buried And Me cover version instead, which is also amazing.

Liam Fitzpatrick I’ll have to check that out.

Definitely! Cemetery Gates or This Love would be a good starting point for these guys to see both sides of soft and heavy Pantera.

Lost in Vegas: We're not going to do Pantera Dumbases on RU-vid: lists several Pantera songs they should do.

I think they were actually gonna get back to them, but decide against it after seeing some, let’s say, “unflattering” footage of Phil Anselmo.

Understand the reasons why they stay away from Pantera but also think it cheapens what the rest of the guys in that band did in a way. So many people turned off from a monster band because their singer is a loudmouth. That's a damn shame.

That’s the one they need to hear!

I always loved when Greg and Steve would share and sing together, their voices being different but worked well together.

Oh Yes! Good call Jason!

Best Journey there is man

And FOGHAT

No

Moving on, running with the pack

Bad Company had a bunch of great songs!!

Yes Definitely, Silver, Blue & Gold.

This one and Evolution were the best

Rumours is the greatest! Listened to it non-stop when I was in the Persian Gulf, 1991

Yes!!!!!!!

I totally agree

Foolish Heart is my fave.

Strung Out is good too.

Pretty sure "Oh Sherry" actually debuted at #1

serious Cheese Keyboards guys

*You should check out his guitar player at the time Lincoln Brewster.* He became one of the best artist in Christian music in my musically qualified opinion. Hands down he is one of the most amazing guitarist out there today. Never a dull moment in his songs that are very, very well done and not the usual fair of what you might think church music sounds like. Just when you think every technique has been done he will take you to another level. I'm not overstating his talent in any way. It proves that God is in charge of the best of the best. With Lincoln Brewster, Christian music is no longer sounding like tame child's play and no beat to it. The full sound and message whether it be reflective or turned up full on concert volume for Jesus it's always spot on. Look him up for your own taste of a great guitarist and music that is powerful and focused on God. You will not be disappointed....... even if you don't believe....... yet. ":^)

There's only one Steve Perry.

That's badass though was it actually live? he sings shortly after that and it's clearly not the same level or the same mic as the voice heard during the guitar playing

@@madpriest7822 yeah check out the live version, its nuts

One of my favorite new bands!

Yes!! Covenant as well!

I like them a lot. A lotta tool feel to me

Jare M just met Opeth in Vegas last weekend. Great guys and the show was awesome! I hope soen comes to the US

Toss in Opal and Martyr, too!

Super underrated band. Been listening to them alot more recently.

Believe they did Dreams a while back.

Tusk, The Chain.....

Green Manalishi, Oh Well, Albatross, Black Magic Woman....yeah, Fleetwood Mac has a ton of great tunes from before they went off the rails :D

@@CashWiley actually, they picked up Stevie and Lindsy and then hit the rails hard. The amount of cocaine that they did then... rediculous! Peace

@@xxx-il9dv I want to hear the reaction to the bass line in The Chain !!!!

Yes that's my song.

Ondi.......He sounds like hes found his happy spot again doesn't he? Good for him.

@@RUHDD4HVN yeah he does and I'm so happy because he's so full of talent. I'll always think of him when I think of journey. Hey, I wanna shout out that I'm starting my own RU-vid channel and it will be out in 3 weeks. Same name and I'd appreciate if you'd check it out and help me grow. It's about how to make money on RU-vid using life experiences! First one will be about me getting "ALL ON 4S" After losing my top teeth to an illness. Thanks in advance @RUHDD4HVN

Love his new album

His voice is shot to hell. That album sucks. He makes yacht rock sound like thrash metal. That's how boring and cheesy that snoozefest is.

They’ve probably heard it and didn’t know.

I've requested Kansas before. Dust in the Wind is beautiful, Wayward Son is harmony bliss. Do both

Deku, they could do a review instead of a reaction. Snurly, definitely agree!

jakecalton I was just saying they they’ve probably heard it in passing ( movie, radio, etc ) I’d love to see it tho, Kansas is classic

They should do Carry On Wayward Son first. Dust in the Wind is a beautiful ballad, but it's a ballad.

Yes, if you guys do "Walks Like A Lady" do the live version on the "Captured" album. Anything from this release warrants a listen.

Good ones to hear both Rolie and Perry on vocals.

Do Mama's and Papa's "California Dreaming" ... And some 2 Live Crew 😁

Lisa O'Malley Agreed!

I wish they coulda ALL stayed together!! They had a great thing with the both takin part with the vocals together

I Agree!

Me too…May 1983, Bryan Adams opened!!

GnR are notorious for copyright blocking reactions. I don’t think they’ll be able to get it up, not on RU-vid.

Guns N' Roses being considered classic rock hurts my heart.....makes me feel old!!!!!

No; Gregg Rolie sang lead before Perry signed on. Rolie and Schon both played for Santana before Journey.

Delp was a ridiculously good singer with a very tragic existence and end to it. When you realize that it took Boston almost a decade to do their first album and that those songs were actually conceived in the 1960's, it is pretty nuts.

Wow. At least know wtf you're talking about before posting for the whole world to see. Gregg Rolie sang on the first 3 Journey albums. Arguably some the greatest progressive rock ever put on vinyl, imo. Criminally underrated. Just give Look into the Future a listen.

@@rcwhiteh Obviously saying they were strictly an instrumental band was a huge mistake on my part. I know Rollie did vocals before Steve Perry. As most people sometimes i speak before i think.

Scott Trotter....... You had the bulk of the info needed. Don't sweat the bullies....... Peace bro! ":^)

Eric Edwards they did it on patreon. They loved it!

@@MisterWright82 damn 😫

They did would and loved it. Would like to see them do Bleed the Freak, Sunshine or Rain When I Die soon.....

Enforcer525 Agreed! I’d really love to see a reaction to Styx. Overlooked and underrated.

Maybe a little Bob Seger too.

@@itsallgood4093 Yeah would love to see one from Seger, there's so many artists from that era 70's-80's. Glad I grew up in it.

@@sammycat1052 I just wonder if they take most of the request from their pateron contributors?

@@utcnc7mm me too! I feel really sorry for the kids today, no freedom, crappy music, boring cars, etc. I'll take the 70s & 80s any day!

Sorry but can we please dispense with the Southern Rock label... The Allman's Transcend simplistic shoehorning. They were Jazz, blues, Rock, some country, but above all they were Badass Rock and Roll .. at least during the Duane Allman Early Dickie Betts, and later Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks incarnations.

Why?

They haven't been a big fan of KSE in general. But I still would like to see them react to it. Such an amazing song.

God, I absolutely loved the new album

@@drexy1300 Yeah even if they're not huge fans, I think its a good song to react to.
