Bad English with John Waite
and The Storm, both had decent short lived succes before returning to their roots....
Also Journey roots were deep in Santana, with Neil Schon at age 17 playing with Santana pretty amazing and Greg Rollie, later keyboardist Jonathan Cain joined the group after playing with John Waite from The Baby's....
Also Randy Jackson (american idol fame) toured with Journey on the Raised on Radio tour 1986 as its base player...he was also a studio musician on Perry's album and many other well known artists including Mariah Carey and Bryan Adams
