DEANO....no more blog?

[styxman]

Hmmm... must be the weekend coming up again. People deliberately goad Deano and he bites every time. You can set your watch by it on this board.

This sites like an interrupted wank....embarrasing at times.

[piecesofeight]

you stated something above about Rich Myers accusing you of doctoring tapes and then said Laura did them for you,

Laura (Shania) helped me make my case. She did a tireless job of separating the different tracks for the casual listeners.

That piece of shit Rich Meyers ACCUSED me and continues to do so of "doctoring tapes" to oust Augeri. Now, should I play for MR listeners, some voicemails from a couple bandmembers? THAT would be interesting, but as I said, I won't go after them personally.

Just wanted to defend CJ even though I don't know her, its kind of unfair to accuse people of stuff.

You sound like a 13 yr old. It isn't fair to accuse people of stuff? It isn't whaen it is made up. Jeff Scott Soto did NOTHING unprofessional as these tp BT Mods claim.

Simple thing to do is to not let people post at your blog if you don't like what they say.

I welcome dissenting opinion, not lies and garbage, as Journey is accustomed to do. Journey is the republican party of bands. lies, crap, deception, sewer, incompetence, etc.

Every the Steve A./Tapegate gets brought up, I've wanted to respond, but really couldn't until now.
Journey let's Steve P. go, stating that his voice/throat was wrecked. This happens during/after the whole Tapegate thing. Coincidence? Also, Steve A. is still sounding so good, yet we are told that his throat is/was wrecked.
All I needed to hear was Steve A. was still sounding good, yet his throat/voice was wrecked.
How do you sound the same as you always did if your throat/voice is/was wrecked, and you finally let the guy go because of this around/during/after the time that Dean is bringing Tapegate on. Prove enough for me.

I used to think for some reason that people were kissing Dean's ass and he could get away with anything.
I have not come to totally respect the guy for the balls he has and for his passion and honesty.
Plus, he doesn't just blow shit around, he knows what he speaks.

[styxman]

Deans MR Journey, it's as simple as that..he goes the forums fucked and stagnant.As Huey would say.....it's as simple as that.

No, they never said Steve P's voice was shot. They let him go because he kept them waiting for a decade and after reuniting with the band, he kept them waiting again and wouldn't tour OR promote TBF

This happens during/after the whole Tapegate thing. Coincidence? Also, Steve A. is still sounding so good, yet we are told that his throat is/was wrecked.

As much as I love Stevie A. he was shot at the end of his run with Journey. Not necessarily permanently as people have been saying. He did have some medical problems not related to his voice that affected his voice. That's all I'm saying about it.

Plus, he doesn't just blow shit around, he knows what he speaks.

PLUS, he's funnier than shit!

No, not you Styxman, I was writing my post before you appeared in the thread. It just seems that every weekend there's a thread not dissimiler to this one - a powerkeg waiting to go off. And usually Deano's in the middle of it but there are always several others in attendance encouraging and baiting him to lose his cool. The content of the thread is irrelevant. Then, by Monday, Andrew will come back in, spend hours tidying up the thread and chastising a few people, and the cycle will start again.

In this instance I don't know the facts and I'm not about to speculate. I actually spoke to Jeff a few hours before all this news kicked off but, 11 days later I'm still none the wiser. All I will say is that CJ is one of the few people on this board I have met, and I respect and trust her. I respect Deanos opinions too (most of the time) but they tend to be much more black and white than is my experience in the real world.

Sorry about not having some of my facts straight, I must have been on heavy drugs when I was trying to read all the 'statements'
Really, it was never said that his voice was shot? Where did I get that from. Seriously, was this much later? I really was reading a lot of this stuff before when I was really messed up and am just trying to remember now.

My god Deeno you are an amazingly unlikable individual! This is the 2nd time I have ever posted on MR and neither my wife nor I have ever gone near your blog. You don’t even know her real name for god’s sake! Carol????

We do not and never will leak any information about Journey business because that’s exactly what it is. Journey Business! Do you honestly think we would still be employed if we did?

I will say to you what I say to everyone who calls me. Stop spreading BS and wait for the press release.

To you personally Deeno, I have quietly listened to you call my wife every possible derogatory name in the book. The truth is we sit in absolute amazement at your accusations! She is one of the sweetest people you are ever likely to meet. 1000’s of people know this and would back me up. I personally have never posted a single word about you or anyone else. Never in the entire time that we have worked for Journey!

We have over 50 clients. Journey is just one of them so we simply don’t have time for those kind of silly games.

This is my message to you. Lay off my wife! She has never done a thing to you except correct you when you are being completely stupid, or to ban you when you’re being a complete ass. That is her job pure and simple. I am a very patient person and After 5 years; I'm just now starting to get really tired of your completely unwarranted personal attacks and your filthy mouth!

Please knock it off!

Thanks and best regards,
Mark Shilts

Wrong and here is my IP address for all to see: 192.68.1.xxx [routed to 67.127.65.xxx]
not giving it all out because I don't want yet another attack on my server. nobody is planting anything on your blog. I know you hope that we are but it just is not worth the time. Carry on

Listen Grandma, I am tired of your lying bullshit.

I found out you were "ace" on my blog last year, remember that? I found out from two band members as well as others. Remember that Cj? I sure as fuck do. I remember you posting looooong RIAA rules BS as to take away the power of my blog. Care to refute that? Guess what, I won that battle. I also vividly remember you asking me to take your name off my blog, which I did, out of respect for you...I wish I didn't now. I also remember you threatening me with your attorney. Remember that? All of these attempts by YOU to try and discredit me, when I am right all along. Fuck you Cj.

I KNOW who it is, and next time either of you post on there with SLANDER AND LIBEL against Jeff Scott Soto, you will be punched in the mouth in the form of a defamation of character lawsuit, and don't think I won't do it either. You are so slimy, that to work for Journey, you need to spew lies and garbage to appease the snakes at Azoff and co. Nice job Carol. How the fuck do sleep at night? I don't give a shit if Ross is unhappy or not. Fuck Ross. I am warning you right now, you and "her" are hereby warned to watch your mouth.

I kicked your asses last year with Tapegate and will do so again. You are too easy. I was going to walk away quietly, but beating up on you bitches is fun stuff.

You have proven your character Carol....it's garbage,like the band you work for. Lies, deception, slime and sewer. Congratulations

I jumped in, half cut, got paronoid and thought for a nano second it was me....sorry marty and good on ya dude for stickin' up for Deano...he's an institution and should be protected.

You said a mouthful there.

And yes, Dean is 'funny as shit'
Sadly, and for suck reasons, this place has kept me entertained during another recovery...

Entertained is the wrong word...how about it's given me something to read, even for shitty reasons.

Give me a break. You think because you rise up I am supposed to shut down? Did you not read what I said?

Your beloved wife called me out last year when the shit hit the fan. Care to defend that? How about her calling me a liar, a spreader of innuendo, and other crap. It turned out I was right...100%. I am not moved by your act of heroism. You are nothing but a pusshole. Dude, your wife may be kind, but that's where the superlatives stop. I am unlikable? Why? Because I am telling the ugly truth about Journey? Hey, they dropped the load, not me. If you need to defend them then defend them, but don't expect a rosie time of it. Your lovely wife is a bulldog under the wrinkles and nicotin stained grill. Intentionally stalling my blog last year with bullshit RIAA ramblings. Dude, check yourself. I have IP's and I am not stupid. I defeated the journey machine last year, and I only get better with practice, so back away from the Merlot, put down the Cool unfilters and listen to me- Pull back your yapping mutt, and her friend too. I know BOTH of you. You want a war, than war you shall receive.

Journey is guilty. Journey is classless and Journey is garbage now. Look in the mirror, you're an employee. Sickens me.

[styxman]

Listen this is my parting song to Dean and MR if he leaves on Sunday....I wish Lula and Dean all the very best from the bottom of my heart and I hope the twins bring so much joy and life is one big great reward for you both. Dean, don't fuckin' ditch this link, listen to it dude. Good luck and the best of health to you and your family...Don't leave okay

[styxman]

One last thing before I pass out..Drew, you've hit the jackpot with NR performing.......they're all our 80's favorite moments captured in one band, and not only that JB knows talent, that's why he's stuck at the hip to Tommy. Drew, tell us your surprise is TS is gonna perform. STYX knows how to continue into the year 2007 and beyond...Journey hasn't a fuckin' clue

[Rick]

Deano ain't leavin'. He may think he is, but he ain't. He's got too much work to do regarding all of this mess, and he is too important to this board for us to let him leave. We'll hunt him down with a pack of beagles if we have to.

[mrsp]

The problem with being associated with Journey is ..well, being associated with Journey. These men are not honest, they do not have any morals, they are liars, cheaters, manipulators and care nothing about the fans or anyone else. Apparently the things that are most important to them are money and themselves. I have personally witnessed band members make derogatory comments about fans and employees. I have personally witnessed band members lie and deny. I have personally witnessed band members make lewd comments to a female fan and then laugh. These guys do not deserve respect. But evidently celebrity carries with it carte blanche to act however you want and someone will clean up your mess. The problem is eventually you alientate so many people, no one wants to clean up after you anymore. There's a scripture in the Bible that says: "Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character." (1 Cor. 15:33) Essentially, if you hang around folks of questionable character long enough, it will rub off on you and your character comes into question.
I hope that Mark and Cj can step back and take a good long look at the situation and decide if they truly want to continue to be associated with Journey. They are good peope but it will be difficult to remain so if they continue to be employed by such a questionable group of people.

Wow, I've been here since late last year, and I believe that's the first time I've seen the bible quoted here. Good one!

Great post, damn you people can nail it. Like I keep saying, you are the company you keep.
Some people have said that bad shit goes on in every band. Well, doesn't make it right and when we become aware of it, it's our decision to decide if we are going to support it or not.

[brywool]

Really, it was never said that his voice was shot? Where did I get that from. Seriously, was this much later? I really was reading a lot of this stuff before when I was really messed up and am just trying to remember now.

I know a lot of people here said that, including myself.

[Crazie Scarab]

It's amazing what others can get away with here.

Deano.."Journey is classless and Journey is garbage now". It sure took you and many others long enough to figure that out. That is at least one thing you were always wrong about I guess it was fun while it lasted(JSS that is)....but oops

Damn! That was so funny, I forgot to laugh..

[Magwheels]

It's ok...there's life after Journey. I realized that the day I found out SP was no longer with the band.

Kleenex?

[Playitloudforme]

Damn!

Daaaammmmn!

[ForceInfinity]

I dont know Dean that well, never met him personally, but he comes across as the type of person who will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear. Also the type that instead of knifing you in the back, he give the gun to the face kind of guy. Love him or hate him, I'd sooner have him around me than a kind backstabber type

[Andrew]

nobody is planting anything on your blog. I know you hope that we are but it just is not worth the time. Carry on

Not entirely true. A regular poster to BT is in fact posting to the blog insisting that JSS knows why he was fired and was warned about his behavior. I know this as the person was stupid enough to sign up here also and start PMing me veiled accusations without ever stating any facts.

I have their e-mail address, and traced the user back to their BT ID and real name. So, they may not be a plant, but they are sure as hell causing trouble.

[Andrew]

Cj is a fucking whiner. She will come out and attack, then go call Andrew and ask to have this taken down, of which he will of course do. Andrew has lost his balls.

Shut up Deano. I just defended you. But you wouldn't know when to stop would you? You slay friends and allies along with your enemies when you get your nickers in a twist.

I will go through this thread and remove all your abuse, but will leave the thread in some form to verify what has been going on.

And me, I'm fed up with the lot of it.

[rdekker]

Very well said Andrew !
