Journey Management Continued

[FormerJrnyFan]

In continuing the prospective journey Management ideas and persons, who on this Board would you like to see as Journeys' manager?

Please explain why or why not you would or wouldn't like that person as manager.

This obviously won't happen, but it could be fun.

I vote for Deano. he has the most ideas, the freshest thinking and he has balls.

[Andrew]

Is it self-indulgent to edit the topic, add myself into the options and then vote for myself?

Sure...but go for it anyway.

[Shadowsong]

Nope,
The way I see it
it's your forum
courtesy would dictate you should have been included
I;m sure it was just an oversight




Anyway, it's the prime ingredient for a good manager
so go for it!

[Rockindeano]

Ok Pat Buchanon. Every vote you get, I am considering it mine.

Sorry I left you out, Andrew!

[Andrew]

LOL....I'm not worried....I just thought I'd give myself a laugh and see if anyone would trust the band in my hands

[Andrew]

I added one more option....sorry to take over this JGal!

Thanks for the other 3 votes whoever did those...haha

[Marabelle]

I don't know Andrew. You're way over there in Australia and the band is here. Think it would become a problem? But I'd vote for you anway.

I would prefer "King Shit."

Yes, your Royal Assness

[The_Noble_Cause]

Out of all the candidates, only Andrew has displayed any business know-how or industry acumen.
Then again, there is a big difference between running a website and running a band.

Deano should def be a central fixture of Journey though.
Maybe drive the tour bus and make dick jokes.

I'm disappointed that I'm not on the list. A couple years ago I proclaimed myself the self-appointed JOURNEY manager at BT and got BLASTED.

I developed a website loaded with ideas to boot!

With all due respect, I think Andrew is too passive. I think a lot of you are too conservative. NOTHING at all is good about being conservative. I like the option of Mac and Dean. He can do all the scmoozoozing and I will be out kicking ass for the band. First order of business is to push Azoff into the path of an oncoming train. That would be a good start.

This band has a white hot iron and needs to strike NOW. They need someone to think outside of the box, bring some fresh ideas to them to decide on, and basically, work their ass off for the band.

Fyre, I like your ideas, but you originated from BT and that is just too much to overcome. There is no way you can out think me in terms of ideas and balls moves. You can work in the office though, maybe sweep the floor and clean up the shitter.

Dick jokes, TNC? Fuck you. I beat you in the poll.....

Deano
No offense intended
Please excuse my bluntness
I mean this in a sincere way
& you can argue with it but...

You are wreckless
a train wreck waiting to happen.
You are your worst enemy sometimes
You have a passion and a witty intelligence but
You can't go around alienating or burning bridges

So now you want to tie Pops to the railroad tracks?
Poor Pop's
What did he do to deserve that
I'm sure he'd laugh you off
I also think he would admire your zeal
but I respect him & think he has earned a better end than by the wheels on the 10 ton Deano train

Have you ever heard of the point of diminishing returns
The way I see it Journey is lucky to be where they are esp after losing there infamous voice.
They are touring with tix prices now $75 to $100 av?
What did they get in the good old days...$10. $20?
So if you ask me they are not doing that bad.
Can they do better?
I don;t think so as theyare on the edge of the saturation point
They can;t afford to gamble at this day and age.

the music business is in a terrible state of unrest
Many are looking for ways out of it.
I say stick with company with a good solid 30 plus years behind them.

Anyway good luck to you...next time you see Neal, why don;t you ask him for his thoughts on his mgmt...then you;d really have something to go on...
Get you ideas for the band sketched out and have it on you...who knows....
As for myself
I would not want to that job in this day and age

Pretty soon
Virtual concerts
Mega soul searing surreal sound experience at the touch of a fingetip...

You were wrong on 79% of your post, however, I am too tired to respond.

Of course I don't want to throw Grandpa into a speeding train.....I would NOT act like this in real life..duh.


You were wrong about some aspects of the music business. Touring is STILL lucrative. Making CD's is a waste of time, however, a band like Journey probably cannot wait to get in there and try out their new car...if you get my drift.


They can make a resurgence, to be sure. To be active, you need to be manged accordingly. Look at Classic Journey with HH...Look at Last 8 yrs with Azoff? See any parallel lines? I sure do.

Fyre, I like your ideas, but you originated from BT...

I flew up out of primeval matter. I came into being like the god Khepera. I germinated like the plants. I am concealed like the tortoise in it's shell. I am the seed of every god. I am Yesterday of the Four Quarters of the Earth, and the Seven Uraei, who came into being in the Eastern land. I am the Great One who illuminates the Hememet spirits with the light of his body. I have arrived. I rise up on my throne. I am endowed with a Khu. I am mighty. I am endowed with godhood among the gods.

Groovy! They're a customer of the company I work for so help keep me employed - eat more chicken! Whooops! That's Chick-fil-A. Wait - they're one of our customers, too!

Eat wherever you like - chances are you'll be helping me keep my day job since I don't qualify for anything else!

Well, I've been referred to here as the biggest pile of shit so maybe I'm not as mysterious as I thought I was.

BTW: I got the Ra thing - cute!

I voted for Deano! We need another HH, and he's the closest I've seen!
