Absolutely. If appreciation threads are a "no go" then why should we have the place cluttered up with birthday threads? Again, special circumstances notwithstanding.


When you are appointed moderator, then you will have a say. Until that day (never), please pipe down.

I have said that many times. I'm in total agreement with Cain here.

Cain also reiterated Arnel makes them better people.

What a good man, Cain is. He never says a bad word about anybody...unless it's justified.


This post gets my vote for laugh of the week.


This made me laugh!!! :lol: :wink:

But the minute women do the same things we get the old "sex starved middle aged housewife" comments.


If anyone has a problem with ANYTHING, then PM me and it will be dealt with. SIMPLE! I don't have time to read every post in every thread.

EXACTLY. Nothing stays on topic around here. Just look around. :lol:

Another thing is...as much as I liked Augeri and will buy/support anything he does, he has sang..what once...in 50 months live? You couldn't expect Journey to take off several years at this stage of the game so his voice maybe healed....

Translation, you can't expect them to stick by their long-time bandmate and support him.
(although, they've never really been about that, anyway)

Wow, thank god Rick Allen wasn't Journey's drummer. :shock:
He'd have been unemployed right quick.

Yeah. Of course it is. :roll: Never mind that I've said the same thing several times... but now that the board is RUINED, I can no longer express an opinion without it being stupid.

Like the above poster stated, at this stage in the game, there was NO WAY they could've waited years for Augeri to POSSIBLY heal. Even if it was guaranteed he would be able to come back, I don't think they could've waited 2-3 years or whatever. Plus, they've waited for singers in the past and that bit them in the ass.

While not necessarily stupid, are you of the mindset they should have waited for him indefinitely?

No. I'm not. There are gray areas to both sides, no doubt, as with anything, but there is a pattern with Journey. Maybe my problem is that I believe in people more than money and business. How long did DL wait for Rick to recover and basically learn to drum all over again? They didn't call him up and go "Dude, pull your ass together and say yay or nay because we're already looking at other drummers" or "you know, you can't play anymore so the temp guy is coming on permanent".

Did they even bother looking into whether SA was going to be able to come back? I don't remember them even mentioning his name once JSS was on board BUT I don't have any of the special "inside info" so I don't know what went on.

And I'm not even saying that moving on in all three cases was wrong, but in all three cases it was handled in a pretty scummy way.

I could be wrong, but it seems that it was pretty clear that Augeri's voice was shot. In hindsight, we can all review things now and compare objectively and see that he was struggling for quite some time. Herbie said it was a problem for the New Years 2000 Gig even. So, if I'm those guys...and he hasn't sang well in over a year, and the diagnosis is very long-term recovery...GEEZ, I move on too. Were they supposed to forgo a huge 2006, 2007 so maybe in 2008 he could go back to struggling and then they'd need to take off 2009 too? I don't think the business plan calls for 10 year hiatuses any longer. Its a working band that tours A LOT. They already threw enough friggin time away!

Regarding Rick Allen - that guy was back within 2 years...no? And they weren't in their 50's. If something were to happen to him now, they'd have a new drummer by lunch me thinks. The window is closing.

I totally agree with BJG. (so I must be stupid too....but so be it.) They didn't even wait months to see what was going to happen. JSS took over in what.....June?? And 5 mos later he was announced as the new singer?? AND if they hadn't toured endlessly every single year his voice might not have been in the state that it was. What would the harm be in taking a year off from touring??

Monnnnnnnnnnnney.

But even that aside, its nothing new.

If you look it from the complete ouside, no one is innocent. I said this in a PM and someone dared me to post it, so I will. The bottom line, Journey fucks everyone. From day 1.

And by Journey I mean all of them. They booted RF in a kinda of scuzzy way. Perry fucked them 2 by 2, Noah's Ark style, first taking out Ross and Steve S (though that one's debatable, but he admitted it), then the other two a couple years later.

Then Journey fucked Kevin and Gregg in favor of Perry, the Perry fucked them all again without even a reach-around (depending which version you believe), then Journey fucked him back, then they fucked two more guys. Even Hefner is jealous of all the fucking these guys do.

Ooooh, well I've already seen Steve Augeri... and Gregg Rolie... coming up soon is Steve Smith...

Oh you meant the rest of Journey... :lol: ... next week OH and maybe Chicago. But mostly for the socializing. Will be nice to check out Arnel after all the hoopla but I can't say its a highlight or priority. Just interesting and hopefully fun. :D

I understand that (I was waiting for someone to jump on that too), but Augeri still couldn't perform up to par especially with the Journey schedule.

They did? Because I seem to remember a 21 date European tour in the winter, and then recording an album in the fall.....

2004 would have been a wise year to take off...I have to agree. But we don't know any inside details either...
