In 1973, keyboardist Greg Rolie and guitarist Neal Schon left Santana and formed the Golden Gate Rhythm Section in San Francisco, CA. Initially, they planned to be a backup group, and the founding members included Ross Valory, George Tickner, and Prairie Prince. Soon after getting together, a roadie named John Villaneuva helped them choose the name Journey. After signing with Columbia Records in 1975, the band released a self-titled debut album and followed up with Look into the Future and Next. Journey experimented with different musical styles but did find commercial success until they met up with Steve Perry.

Replacing Robert Fleischman as the lead vocalist, Perry became one of the most famous rock singers of all time, ranking with Bono from U2 and Bon Scott of AC/DC. With Steve on board, the Journey album Infinity went multi-platinum and featured the hit single "Lights." Their next project, Evolution, introduced Steve Smith on drums and included hits like "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'." In 1981, Journey released their most successful album to date, Escape. Certified 3x platinum, Escape sold over four million copies and included top ten songs such as "Who's Crying Now" and "Open Arms." By this time, everyone was looking for Journey tickets. In 1983, Steve Perry began focusing on solo projects like "Street Talk", and the band wallowed in fights and power struggles.

Bassist Randy Jackson joined Journey in 1986 and the band recorded Raised on Radio before the members went their separate ways. In 1995, Journey joined forces with the manager Irving Azoff, and reunited to record Trial by Fire. The last studio album with Perry and drummer Steve Smith, Trial by Fire featured the singles "When You Love a Woman" and "Message of Love." Unfortunately, Perry injured his hip while hiking in Hawaii, and he and Smith left the band. Journey recruited singer Steve Augeri for the album Arrival, which featured Deen Castronovo as the new drummer.

Around this time, Journey performed with REO Speedwagon and Styx, but fate struck again. Suffering from a throat infection during a tour with Def Leppard, Augeri quit the group to rest his vocal chords. Jeff Scott Soto replaced him in 2006, but it did not work out and he left to tour with Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Once again, Journey needed a new vocalist. In 2007, Neal Schon was watching YouTube when he discovered Arnel Pineda singing covers of Journey songs. The next thing you know, the band hired Pineda as their new lead singer, recorded Revelation, and went on tour with Heart and Cheap Trick. With the new lineup Journey released Eclipse in 2011.

Artist Info

During their initial 14 years of existence (1973-1987), Journey altered their musical approach and their personnel extensively while becoming a top touring and recording band. The only constant factor was guitarist Neal Schon, a music prodigy who had been a member of Santana in 1971-1972. The original unit, which was named in a contest on KSAN-FM in San Francisco, featured Schon, bassist Ross Valory, drummer Prairie Prince (replaced by Aynsley Dunbar), and guitarist George Tickner (who left after the first album). Another former Santana member, keyboard player and singer Gregg Rolie, joined shortly afterward. This lineup recorded Journey (1975), the first of three moderate-selling jazz-rock albums given over largely to instrumentals.
By 1977, however, the group decided it needed a strong vocalist/frontman and hired Steve Perry. The results were immediately felt on the fourth album, Infinity (1978), which sold a million copies within a year. (By this time, Dunbar had been replaced by Steve Smith.) Evolution (1979) was similarly successful, as was Departure (after which Rolie was replaced by Jonathan Cain). Following a live album, Captured (1981), Journey released Escape, which broke them through to the top ranks of pop groups by scoring three Top Ten hit singles, all ballads highlighting Perry's smooth tenor: "Who's Crying Now," "Don't Stop Believin'," and "Open Arms." The album topped the charts and sold millions. Frontiers (1983), featuring the hit "Separate Ways," was another big success, after which Perry released a double-platinum solo album, Street Talk (1984). When the group got back together to make a new album, Valory and Smith were no longer in the lineup and Raised on Radio (1986) was made by Schon, Perry, and Cain, who added other musicians for a tour.
Following the tour, Journey disbanded. Perry went into a prolonged period of seclusion as Schon and Cain formed Bad English with vocalist John Waite. Bad English had several hit singles, including the chart-topper "When I See You Smile," before breaking up. Perry returned to recording in 1994, releasing For the Love of Strange Medicine. Although the album went gold, it was a commercial disappointment by previous standards. In 1996, Perry, Schon, Cain, Valory, and Smith staged a Journey reunion, releasing the million-selling Trial by Fire, which featured the gold-selling Top 20 single "When You Love a Woman," and going on tour. Perry and Smith opted out of the reunion after the tour, but Journey continued, hiring a new lead singer, Steve Augeri (formerly of Tall Stories), and a new drummer, Bad English's Deen Castronovo, who made their debuts on "Remember Me," a track on the 1998 Armageddon soundtrack. The band next reconvened in 2001. Arrival, Journey's 11th new studio album, was released in April, followed by a national tour.
The band received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 21, 2005. That same year they released a new album, Generations, and embarked on their 30th anniversary tour. Shows on the tour stretched over three hours long and were divided into two sets -- one focusing on pre-Escape material, the other on post-Escape material. The archival release Live in Houston 1981: The Escape Tour appeared on both DVD and CD in 2006, the same year that the group brought Jeff Scott Soto aboard as a replacement for Augeri, who developed a throat infection that prevented him from singing.
However, Soto's time with the band was limited; in 2007, Journey announced that they had parted ways with the singer and were once again seeking a frontman. They found him in Arnel Pineda, a Filipino vocalist that they discovered after seeing him perform on YouTube. Pineda made his debut with the band in 2008, the same year that Journey released Revelation. Fueled by the adult contemporary hit "After All These Years," Revelation was a surprise hit that wound up going platinum. Journey returned in the summer of 2011 with Eclipse, a concept album that saw the band tie together its progressive rock beginnings with its '80s arena rock peak.
