Schon Cain Drama Increasing?

Postby jrnyman28 » Sun Jun 04, 2017 9:41 am

A fan mentioned to Neal on Twitter that his rift with Jon is becoming increasingly obvious. Neal has responded a couple times. "You think?" and then mention of respect and remembering who brought him in.

Wow.

I thought it was Herbie who brought JC in, or am I mistaken?

Mostly it was Rolie who said the band should look at him for his replacement.

Sometimes I think this is more marketing jargon than anything. I've heard Neal say he brought the idea of Jon to Herbie and I always assumed that was more accurate. Gregg just probably agreed.

They should start new marketing gimmick saying Perry picked Arnel to be his replacement. :D

Neal is airing the whole thing out on Twitter. Even retweeting posts from fans that say Cain ruined the band. He is also retweeting posts from fans telling Cain to quit and leave. Sounds like those Vegas writing sessions def did not happen.

Sounds to me like Neal has had it with Jon. I see a Reunion with Greg in the future.....

I guess I am not sure what Cain did. Simply not wanting to record something new? Not wanting to write? Or is there something more to it?

As far as the writing and recording, here is my thought. It's a band. If funding is there to record, they should by all means record. That's what bands do. And no single member should stand in the way of that, except when there is no agreement on direction. I look at other bands and many albums are made up of 2 or 3 guys' solo stuff. Many Styx songs come to mind. Some of that stuff is one or the other, but they agree to do each other's stuff and slap the band name on it. So maybe that's an option.

As far as writing, if you are not going to continue to write, then what the hell are you in a band for. Go be solo. Be a session player. Don't stand in the way of progress.

But, I'm just guessing. And wasting time on a nice Sunday morning on the computer instead of going out on this rare nice day. So really, what the hell do I know?

This really doesn't look good. Neal needs to keep all this off Twitter, and stop the speculation. Either make a decision, or be quiet until you do.

At least Jon is taking the high road and not responding.

Neal is so determined to make people see this is " his band" that he completely misses the fact that he just looks like a kid having a tantrum. Although I really respect his talent, his ranting in public is not gaining my respect for him as a person.

Vegas writing sessions were confirmed to happen by the two writers, Neal and Jon. If I tell you I'm going to go take a shit and when I hit the bathroom I don't have to go, I still confirmed to you that I was going to take a shit, did I not?

I'm a big fan of Schon (watching him play has been the primary reason I go to Journey concerts), I loved ECL1P53, and would kill for one more Journey album - especially with SS back in the fold.

And obviously I wish JC would get his head in the game and start contributing to a new Journey album - especially since his argument against writing and recording is that a new Journey album won't sell, but any Journey album is gonna sell 100x more than his solo albums.

But that said, there's no denying that Neal is an absolute narcissist who is in desperate need of a PR man. His behavior on Twitter is infantile bullshit. Just like Perry and Schon himself, Cain has been a major factor in Journey's success. Between that and their 36-year partnership, it'd be great for NS to remember that.

Neal is right. Cain needs to either get with the program or move on from the band.

Cain did no doubt help make Journey even more successful starting with the Escape album than they had been.

But at the same time, Cain is now the biggest thing holding Journey back.

I'm sure that Neal would prefer that Cain stay in the band as long as he was actively trying to help keep Journey moving foreword. But by Cain refusing to record a new album, and by insisting on playing the same damn songs night after night after night to infinity and beyond, he is not helping to move the band foreword. He's in fact holding them back.

I definitely think it's hypocritical of JC to cite diminishing album sales as a reason to not record a Journey album when his Christian solo albums probably won't break 1000 copies. I also agree that JC needs to get with the program and release new material in general, for the fans who want it. I'm just saying that Neal probably isn't helping the situation by airing out his dirty laundry on social media and his non-stop prattling about how Journey is all about him.

I really wonder what has set Neal off like this? Has he relapsed? Now he is accusing a local news channel of sabotaging him and being hacked. Weird dude.

Neal's branding of the band as "Neal Schon's JRNY" almost makes it appear as if he is planning his own version of the group. The dynamics at play here are very juicy. Neal mentioned he still "holds the keys" to the band. With that said, I don't think he has the power to force Cain out. Maybe Neal is plotting his own exit.

LOL, so funny because I just finished a deep dive in YouTube tonight with Tears for Fears, one of my all time favorite bands, and I thought "Man, I haven't checked into what's going on with Journey in a long time" and landed on MR for the first time in a long time. Was weird timing to see the current controversy going on between Neal & JC but as I mentioned, not really surprised.
