“You will be missed immensely. Thank you for your incomparable contributions to Journey’s early years,” Neal Schon posted about Tickner on Facebook.
Tickner, a New York native, played rhythm guitar with the Journey from its start in 1973 through 1975. Prior to that, he was a member of the Bay Area psychedelic rock outfit Frumious Bandersnatch, which also included another future Journey star — Ross Valory.
The guitarist was a key contributor to Journey’s self-titled major label debut, which served up “Of a Lifetime” — which Tickner co-wrote with bandmates Schon and Gregg Rollie, as the first song on Side 1. “Dear George — ‘Of a Lifetime’ is still one of my favorite songs ever,” Schon wrote on Facebook. “RIP brother God Speed.”
Tickner left the band in 1975, well before Journey scaled multiplatinum heights with the help of vocalist Steve Perry. “The reason he left Journey was to attend Stanford University on a full scholarship, earning his PhD,” Schon wrote on Facebook.
