You claimed before that rockindeano uses an insult generator bot. Man if that is true, that would be the equivalent of tapegate here at MR.

Those of us that have partied with Deano, know his whole 6'+ frame is loaded with off the wall insults. He's a natural.

I can see that in him. This dude probably kills to party with. That would be fun.

I'm so glad you guys had a great time with great shows. I'm still kicking myself for not doing the West Coast. I had reservations at Pala and ended up cancelling them. It sure sounds like I missed some incredible shows and a tremendous time. Just a screwed up year for me. Vegas Anyone?

Seriously... other than the Pala venue tickets were a joke... and everyone sat down, they were insane shows! Especially the 2nd Pala and San Bern shows. The band is TIGHT, and really puts on a show! Make Vegas if you can!

Hmmmm? Didn't you go to Sacramento, or am I thinking of someone else? Last time I checked Sacramento is west coast but they weren't really hot into the tour then, so that might not have been the best gig to see.

Pala sounds like Laughlin last year, but I guess sometime you take what you can get. Vegas is a definate (sorry Frank) and debating on Sonoma. I'm betting there will be a great group for Vegas. VIVA LAS VEGAS

UP YOURS

One show iisn't anywhere nearly as fun as partying over several shows and casino shows are usually the best. Next year Pechanga plaese. And I absolutely loved Sacarmento, but that seems like was eons ago now.

My friend was at the first and second Pala shows and the San Bern show too. She said the second Pala show was even better than the first, but that both were fantastic, and that the San Bern show really rocked also, but that the sound was not quite as good as the Pala shows. And she couldn't believe the amount of people there at San Bern. They were thinking maybe 12,000 or so would be there and said the crowd was impressive in the grass area, thought maybe 25,000 or more total at the show. And they didn't even know Night Ranger was going to be there and had been added late, so a nice surprise.

VEGAS Jana. You know you want to do it

I'm going to be doing Orlando and it looks like Atlanta is on. That will be it for me.

A sentimental evening with Journey, Night Ranger
By Gerry Gittelson, Special to the Daily News
Posted: 08/04/2009 11:45:57 AM PDT

DEVORE, Calif. — I will always love Journey, my favorite rock band when I was growing up.

And it was obvious I was not the only one Saturday, as a crowd of about 15,000 packed the San Manuel Ampitheatre for the San Francisco group's latest local concert.

But hard truth is, I miss Steve Perry, the band's dynamic, god-voiced lead singer who left the group more than 10 years ago and has been replaced by various stand-ins, the latest Arnel Pineda.

Pineda is great in every way a singer can be great. He sounds fantastic, he sings with passion, he is increasingly confident in the swagger department, and he looks just fine with long hair intact.

But there is only one Steve Perry in the world - about that millions of Journey fans would agree - and it's just not the same without him, and it never will be.

Now that all that is out the way, Journey did a great job Saturday from the opening strands of "Majestic" to all their greatest hits such as "Faithfully," "Open Arms," "Don't Stop Believing," "Wheel in the Sky," "Separate Ways" and "Stone in Love," along with lots of others.

Neal Schon remains an incredible guitar player, and he nailed every solo just perfectly.

The crowd was nothing short of adoring, and everyone appeared to be satisfied and happy by the end of the nearly two-hour set. Except maybe for me. I'm here to proclaim that Steve Perry has not been forgotten and never will be even though he has had countless opportunities to rejoin the band or record new solo material instead of remaining almost totally inactive through the seasons.

That's Perry's fault, not Journey's. The band continues to sell a lot of tickets - few peers from Journey's era sell many CDs anymore, though Journey did go platinum with the new "Revelation" this time around - and make millions of dollars without Perry.

They'd be even bigger if he rejoined. But as the years go on, it looks more and more like that is never going to happen.

So Journey is what it is. Still one of world's best melodic rock bands but not as good they could be.

Journey did in fact blow opener Night Ranger off the stage. Night Ranger really did not do anything wrong Saturday except for maybe holding back their biggest hits until the end and doing a bit too much between-song talking on the part of Jack Blades.

But Night Ranger has always been kind of a by-the-numbers outfit despite a handful of amazingly great songs such as "(You Can Still) Rock in America," "Sentimental Street" and of course "Sister Christian."

There's a reason Night Ranger never quite made it big enough to headline arenas on their own. But 25 years later the group is still alive and kicking, and that's got to count for something.

Steve Perry now works for Atlas van lines. He and the boys carried all my shit into my new pad last night. Some former lead vocalists move ya, some don't.

You just continue to prove you're the biggest asshole here. Disrespect an icon while at it. You truly know how to multi-task.

Right!! Kiss my ass you fat fuck. You run around here and don't even directly quote half the stuff I say, you take your own version of my words and type it out, which most of is meant in jest anyway. Most people get that while you, on the other hand, can't get your rock filled head around it. I come here for some of my entertainment. I don't take beer swilling, overweight, hairy backed, knuckle draggers like yourself seriously. So back off with the bully attempts...they simply don't work on me. I have no fear or any respect for someone of your under-caliber. Anyone is capable of glueing together a bunch of profanity on the internet. All it shows is what a classless, uneducated jerk you are.

Just needed to vent. That said, I'd gladly buy you a beer anytime you're in my neighborhood.

We will come to an understanding.

where can i get one of those wallets
