Hey Folks....Christopher from the old Journey forums here...

[Christopher]

Hi Christopher, welcome to the funny farm! I've always enjoyed your adaptations of the classic artwork...

Hi Maverick....thanks very much!

[Christopher]

Hey, Christopher! Long time, no see!

Now there's a familiar face! How you doing, bro?

Not sure if being familiar is a compliment or not...

Unless your name is Joe, then it's a compliment, my friend. I remember you as a good guy

[Christopher]

I finally got tired of sitting and wishing the old Journey Back Talk forums would return,

Yeah, because that place was a real fucking beacon of objectivity and free speech.

Anyway...enough about me

I was thinking the exact same thing after your second sentence!

any old Back Talk folks here?

Only the strong survive here. We got rid of the majority of fawners and stalkers. You seem decent ... even if your introduction seemed somewhat self-serving and shameless. So, on behalf of the "locals" here, welcome, asshole.

Yikes!:shock: That's what makes you so loveable Dan... One never wonders where they stand with you!


Anyway...

Greetings Christopher! Long time no chit-chat. Have always admired your art and I'm so glad to see the passion is still strong with you. Right around the time the new album's name was announced, I thought about you and wondered if you had gotten the gig for its artwork.

Steve

Poor Dan....his mother never nursed him....and the rest is history.

Thanks Steve! I definitely can't go too long without creating something...and as long as I keep improving, I'll never stop.

I think the ship has sailed on any more work for Journey...long boring story....the important thing is it has nothing to do with the band itself, which IMO are still a good bunch of guys. They always treated me well.

[Argus]

Great stuff! Is the Journey art webiste still up and running?

Hi Glenn....I use my website mostly as a bit of storage...but I put up a couple of pages a long time ago which I haven't updated in years, that have a lot of my early work. Some of it good...some of it not so good...it's always a learning process, you know...heh. Here's a couple of links that people have been referring to...

(Be kind please....as my webmaster skills are horrible...lol)

Most of my newer artwork goes on this website, which I am almost up to date on...

Hi Christopher! Fellow Deviant Artist, former BTer and long time friend. Website are passe anyways these days with some many free sites to share art and community with. Look me up in SL if you ever decide to check it out.

The NCB formerly known as cj

Ceeeeeeej! Hey....nice to see you! Ok....I'll try out SL one more time...first two times....I got stuck in the introduction section and couldn't get anywhere else. My parents dropped me on my head a lot when I was young.

Just IM me when you get in and we'll take care of teaching the viewer to ya on our home ground. Argus Collingwood is my avatar name.

Welcome Christopher.

[Saint John]

Siobhan Tobin lives! Second Life!

[Don]

Siobhan Tobin lives! Second Life!

Suzie?

[Saint John]

Siobhan Tobin lives! Second Life!

Suzie?

Yeah, that pig actually played the cancer card and tried to stage her death. Either way, I'm right. She was a pig before she died ... or she's still a pig! The stories she told about the band were disturbing ... but her info was always SPOT ON. The greatest being, while Soto was still in the band, that they were going with "this Filipino dude that Neal thinks has an incredible voice." She was right. Man, always spot on.

[Argus]

Siobhan Tobin lives! Second Life!

I don't get this whole thing you have stuck in your head about Siobhan/Suzie and Second Life? I don't know her in either world. Enlighten please?

[Rockindeano]

Anyway...enough about me

Good.

any old Back Talk folks here?

How soon until the walking obese female orcas start their conveyance into the wonders of MelodicRock.com? Our roads have weight limitations. Jesus, I can't wait til all the crying and whining to Andrew by old rotten tooth pimple faced bitches like those BT skanks who participate i all the BT Heptathlon- good ol fat Kim; or those other noobs, Darryl and Jenny who play Faithfully during every minute they are awake? Oh, can't forget Val..(correction:- I got confused..Dr Val is a nice lady, whereas the "other" Val looks like something manufactured by an oversized Hippo and an extremely large Carp= and she is hideous as fuck.). She is a real piece of work. She could make a train stop, back up, change tracks and go the other way if it were to see her grill. Seriously, grating your cake infested beak on a cheese grater would only help your looks. God sent down a message saying, he's sorry, but he flat out cannot help you. He said to go light a match, torch your grill, and get in the box." And that's just the white bitches. There is ONE hot girl from Sacramento, her name was Roxanne who I would love to hook up with.....she was hot...about half or maybe a third as big as Kim Moooo. Roxy, PM me baby.

Christopher, you seem alright, but if you start fagging up this place, you'll find yourself on a one way rail from MR to the Mother-ship.The first idea ever. Goddammit Chris, don't bring over the heard....if you do, many here will be happy to thin it out for you.

the important thing is it has nothing to do with the band itself, which IMO are still a good bunch of guys.

Right out of the box, you seem to be rimming their collective shitholes nicely. A lot of guys here love the music but not the guys so much. Aside from Pineda, NONE of these assholes are worth buying a free water for. Stop and think about that for a minute. people who have come into contact with them- Herbie. Hates them. Perry- Hates them. Frank- Hates them. Aron- Not too fond with them. Skylorde- Hates em. Me- Hate them. Elson- Not to happy with these dicks. Soto- Hates them. Rolie hates em. Augeri isn't too fond of these cocksuckers. Andrew would probably urinate in Neal's mouth if given the chance to. Everyone knows I despise them, but I think St John thinks they're douches too.

Um, Christine, you do know there is a reason why these feelings are so present. Hell, even Mark and Cj aren't too fond of them, as well as a bunch of fans who bailed after the Lip Syncing tour(which I know you do not believe they did.)

I guess Rusty(piece of jizz) will be here soon to call me a liar, as will that cumdrenched douchebag RobbieG, and that one asshole Les (Neal's daddy, who is braindead and shits his pants).

Just man up over here, post your art(which is good by the way), for the love of all that is holy, stay away and do not befriend Bluekies or your life will flash in front of your eyes hourly; do all that, and you'll be ok.

I finally got tired of sitting and wishing the old Journey Back Talk forums would return,

How long until you bring that retarded lot with you from retardation plantation? Namely that Richard Simmons clone, Rustygreenjeans and his skank hooker wife? And how about that ever so clever dicksuck with the brain of a bent pipe wrench, Rich Meyers, that fuckin "Head to Head" guy? That had to be the gayest thing on that board asie from "Journey T shirt day." Who was the mastermind behind the swell positive cheerful movement? RustyGreenjeans?

Look, if you were a good lookin' guy, you might be able to throw insults like this but, come on, really? You?

LOL....I sense much anger in you....

Hey man....you can choose to live yourself full of anger and resentment over...well...seemingly half the world, in some outward display of assholeness...and you know what? I don't care really....cause that kinda shit just makes you pissed off all the time, and hating people for all the reasons you mention up there, really says more about you than anyone else. Yeah yeah, I know...I'm not Dr Phil or whatever. Anyway, my point is...I don'tgive two shits what you think of me, if you hate people just foe being fat or a little different from you.

As for the band....I stand by what I said. I have no delusions about them being saints, nor do I know what the rim of their bungholes taste like. It's very simple...I did work for them...I spent time around them on many occasions...and they treated me well and with respect. I always enjoyed our conversations, and carry good memories from it. Other people have different experiences....and so-be-it. Everyone in life has friends and enemies, for various reasons. I have no doubt that some people have good reason to hate them....ok...so fine...but that doesn't have to sour my experiences.

My own negative experience has to do with management, not the band....and that's as much as I will say.

BTW....I don't control the herd....and have no idea where they have wandered off.

Back to grazing...

[Saint John]

Oh, can't forget Dr Val.

Not really sure who some of the other people you mentioned are, but I had a dust up with her waaaay in the past. However, I will also be the first person to say that *I* was totally in the wrong. I met her at Journey To The Cure and I'll tell you what, man, you're not gonna find a finer lady. She and her husband are incredibly cool people that do some awesome work for JTTC. And I believe the work is completely for the genuine goodness of the lives they affect and help make better. JTTC is an incredibly fun, emotional and healing event. You've got this one wrong, man. As did I. She's a heck of a lady.

[S2M]

You forgot NavyBlue SLS. I think her name was Robin....thought she was Emmanuel Kant, and Henry Kissinger rolled into one. Couldn't stand her.

" for the love of all that is holy, stay away and do not befriend Bluekies or your life will flash in front of your eyes hourly; do all that, and you'll be ok."

LMAO! Now THAT is a funny line! ya might want to read what I said in the other thread for some justification for it now, Dean.
Yea, I know I can be a pain in the ass, but there is usually always purpose for the pain. No pain, no gain.

Duly noted. I made the correction above and apologies go out to Dr Val....I was thinking of that "other" whisker faced bitch with the beady eyes and the oily lettuce.

The "val" I was speaking of is in the mid Atlantic shore region I believe, and is about 30-35 yrs old...and like I said, makes mirrors crack at the sight of her puss. Dr Val please forgive me.

Hey Christopher, go mow another donut.

[escapefan]

Great art work. Love it. Welcome..

Hey Christopher, go mow another donut.

I don't know why but every time I see you make a crack about "mowing donuts", it totally cracks me up.

[Tracie555]

Hey Chris I remember you too! Great to see you here...I think the last time I saw you was in Chula Vista, Augeri was singing. It has been a long time,hahaha...Glad to see you're doing well

No apology necessary, everybody is going to like and/or dislike whomever they are going to for whatever reasons. No idea what you and Dean's history is and it's none of my business. But, glad to know I don't have to open a can of EM whoop-ass on ya. Just under a month and I'll be hitting my 2nd MB show this tour too! They blew me away the first show back in April.......definitely an experience worth repeating, can't wait!

Deb when you call out someone for lying they will come at you with every name in the book plus more.
Looking forward to Mr. Big it will be my 3rd and 4th time seeing them. 1st saw them open for Rush then a headlining tour after that, then they disappeared from touring the USA.
