JRNY2EURO, but no Italy dates??

[jrnyjetster]

You'd think the Frontiers label, which has done a fairly good job of promoting Generations over in Europe, would sponsor a couple of shows in Italia?

[yak]

Jetster, have you emailed them and asked?

Alright, let's be honest.

Journey doesn't make squat on CD sales. They make their bank on touring. Why in the Hell are they going over to Europe, to play gas stations and movie theatres? They have NEVER been big there, even at the pinnacle of the 83 year, when they were musics' biggest name here in the USA. I don't understand the need to do this, unless they are maybe giving theur Euro fans a goodbye tour, which I think it is. They might even lose money on this.

And the whole Def leppard thing? It's going to make Journey look like a carnival band while they're over there. The fans over there aren't going to embrace them over their own beloved Def leppard.

I know some hardcore fans, one of them a BT'er, who says she probably won't go see this tour. I am not either.

However, back on topic, I think the author is right...if you are going all the way over there, might as well play every nook and cranny in that continent. I would definetely make sure I hit ireland about 23,000 times..That is easily the best part of Europe. Well, the chicks are nice in Sweden, Finland and Norway too. Actually, those Spanish girls have the nice tan look going on. Ok, so tour the shit out of the whole place.

Keep in mind it took the Leps a LONG time to make it big in Europe though...and it still didnt approach what they did here.

I do think this Monsters of Rock deal is gonna be a mess for Journey though.

I think Journey is touring the States with Lep. Over there Journey is playing a few festivals and a few small dates. I have not heard anything about support for those small shows so I think they are probably just Journey.

I think they are going over there because the fans have been clamouring for it for a very long time. I think Journey is trying to mend a few fences. And maybe they are trying to prove something to the Euro audience/promoters. I am sure that If Journey prove to be a successful gig over there, that they might get more offers in the future. Which means more touring and more money...

Deano, did your computer go haywire or something? You posted the same thing 3 times! Clean your shit up, dude!

Now...back on topic...if we have any Italian fans on board, please chime in!

Who died and made you Moderator? Yeah, Like I intentionally posted three times in a row. The site is so fucked up sometimes that I have seen it happen to everyone.

Kiss my ass.

I would think that Frontiers would request at least 1 or 2 Italy dates....
I don't know what the #s amount to but I do see a sizeable portion of people on the web asking for the band to come back to Europe.... It's hard to put it in real terms though....
