JohnnyBlaze Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Maybe Perry, Valory, and Smith should make their own outfit and use a totally brand new name. Or just Perry’s name or a combo of the three. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The article indicates that Smith and Valory attempted to take over Nightmare Productions, and hence the Journey Brand, to ensure themselves of a revenue stream after they stopped performing. I guess both have few song writing credits to their name, and presumably the ir income was tied to touring rather than royalties. If that's the case, they should have been fired. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are actually the nicer guys. The other 2 are the assholes. Still, as much as they have toured in the last 20 years without Steve Perry you think that they would have squirreled away enough for retirement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The 2 asshole here are Schon and Cain. they've been a dumpster fire for years. they aactually hate EACH OTHER, lol Mick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry1973 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Schon seems to be losing it. Big time. His lawyer's statement reads like someone very paranoid is behind it. The article indicates that Smith and Valory attempted to take over Nightmare Productions, and hence the Journey Brand, to ensure themselves of a revenue stream after they stopped performing. I guess both have few song writing credits to their name, and presumably the ir income was tied to touring rather than royalties. If that's the case, they should have been fired. I agree with you, but it seems like a bizarre charge nonetheless. Steve Smith just came back to the band after a 20 year absence! And then he tries to take over the publishing? I doubt that. Seems that Schon is trying to stonewall them from having any claims to royalties. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Journey is firing everybody! Smith has gone because he had bird flu but he said it was just a cold. Valory went because he prefers KK's Priest to Judas Priest! Schon wasn't having that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just Perry’s name or a combo of the three.They'll never do that because the big money is in the name. If they changed the name or formed a new band profits would drop by 90%. For most fans of these big bands the name is everything. This is why Queen are still touring as Queen and not the Brian May Roger Taylor Band, which is what they really are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t stand seeing and hearing Paul Rodgers sing for them. For one thing, he’s a total bore as a front man, and secondly, he’s not Freddy Mercury. No one but Freddy should sing for “Queen”.
