Replacing Augeri Mid-Tour IS NOT COOL

[Monker]

A tabloid is the press. A regular person with a blog is not.

He might as well be.
His blog was discussed on several radio shows across the country.

"regular" people are on the radio everyday. Think about it. They call in, get asked in (as in this case). Because he or anyone that is deemed "regular" people get that, doesn't equate them with the press. Forgive me...but for me that is simply a weak argument.

Yep...Don't remember what station he was on in Iowa, but it was on in the middle of nowhere...I can't even pick it up here. I did a quick search to see if I could find it again, found this instead, from a blog on the Des Moines Register, kinda funny:

The Chicago Tribune reports that the Chicago White Sox have selected rock band Journey’s 1981 hit “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” as the team’s theme song for its World Series bid.


Do they care that the tune mentions Detroit, not Chi-town?

And the team reportedly also has invited former Journey frontman Steve Perry to Game 1. What about the rest of the band, who now tours with replacement singer Steve Augeri?

Most importantly, can anybody out there recommend a better theme song for the team?

Had the Cubs been World Series bound (sob, sob), perhaps they would have picked a Jimmy Buffett tune, considering he performed this year at Wrigley Field.

Journey?

I’m not saying I want John Fogerty’s “Centerfield,” something way too cliche in the world of sports.

But Journey?

It could be worse, I guess. Could be a Styx song.

[Monker]

It makes no difference to me.
Journey is back to being a live band and I am happy.

Sure it does...or you wouldn't keep replying back.

The bottom line is you "believers" took a small bit of truth, and blown it up out of all proportion by adding a LOT of opinion and speculation and tagged it on to that small bit of truth. You can't PROVE *ANY* of it...but that doesn't stop you guys from DEMANDING it to be true.

[Monker]

That being said, on this particular point, let us agree to disagree here.

LOL! You're talking to Journey fans here. You have a better chance of getting froy to do that on the Styx forum!

[Monker]

But in all honesty, the above statement is speculation.

Speak for yourself.

I am...just as you are. Apparently something that escaped you at the moment.

LOL! Is your head spinning yet?

[Monker]

OK, how's the band going to go after Ollie and Anferny or whoever the hell they are if all they do mention the allegationss in passing?

Dude, if u dont know "Opie and Anthony" or "Mark and Brian", than you really have no business commenting on radio matters.
Those shows are big and Dean's blog managed to get on both.
The story wasn't contained to just a blog nobody gave a tinker's damn about.

LOL...it had five minutes of fame on a couple syndicated shows! BIG DEAL! It had NOWHERE NEAR the 'explosion' that Dean said would happen.

[Monker]

I am...just as you are.

How do you know I am dealing strictly in conjecture and unfounded supposition.
Like I said, speak for yourself and your own limited purview.

Because NONE OF YOU have offered ANYTHING for evidence other then MORE speculation and MORE opinion. There is NO REASON to believe otherwise. If you want others to believe otherwise, it's up to YOU to prove it.

[Moon Beam]

Holly fuck Monker five emotional outbursts!
Wow you be smokin tonight I guess.
Come on, tango with me......

[Monker]

I am...just as you are.

How do you know I am dealing strictly in conjecture and unfounded supposition.
Like I said, speak for yourself and your own limited purview.

The same way you know that I am. Because the only "official" thing that has occured is one singer was changed with another mid-tour. Even that has not been made "permanent" as yet. Regardless, we both state what we believe based on our own points of view and how we interpret the information presented. One could assume from your statement here that you may have other knowledge which you choose not to share (for reasons of your own). By that token, I can only take the words you do use and state that for me...they represent speculation.

Resistence if futile, or useless...or whatever. I've been saying the EXACT same things from the beginning. What makes you think you can make them see things clerly?

[Monker]

When Perry was replaced, they waited nearly two years just to discuss things with him. With Augeri, they seemed to already have it planned. That's acting like a bunch of pricks.

It's NOT a cool way for a band to act. It's NOT a cool way for someone new to be introducted. It's not a cool thing for supposed fans like you to support.

Fine I took it down - LOL

You people have to loosen up!

Huh? What did you take down?

One things for sure....this certainly became a fun thread! LOL!

[Moon Beam]

Your spelling slippin Monker better check that before you
come to dive into me.

[Monker]

Holly fuck Monker

Nothing to say...Just wanted to quote that

[Crazie Scarab]

Well, I seem to remember a story somewhere where Neal cut a fart on the bus late one night and the driver had to pull over on the side of the highway so everybody could get some fresh air, fast. Seems Neal just had to have some authentic mexican food earlier that night..

Ok, I'm following you... what happenned next??? Come on, the suspense is killing me!!! Did a tour bus full of strippers pick him up next??? Or did he wander into some Karoke bar in down-town NY??? Come on, finish the story!

LOL Nevermind. It was a joke & the punch line was included. Sorry you didn't get it..

[Moon Beam]

Holly fuck Monker

Nothing to say...Just wanted to quote that

Why is it I don't trust you when your quoting
my lines.......got my eye on you.

That's fine.

Just trust me whenever I quote anybody else.

[The_Noble_Cause]

Yep, this is what I thought. You guys KNEW it would not be addressed by the band and gotten away with as a result.

Speaking purely on my own behalf, I thought the story would never see the light of day.
I think most (including the band members, themselves) thought the story would never get out.
You, and others, pressured Deano into spilling the beans.
He went public, Augeri got shit canned, and now you rue the day you ever opened your big trap.

Doesn't mean I'm not gonna refute the bullshit spouted about Augeri and that lineup.

Of course not. Because you're an Augerifag, impervious to reason or logic.
Just like the ideological Perryloons that came before you.

[Monker]

Thing is that some of those Perryloons are now Sotopsychos. Funny how it is come full circle. When you group those Perryloons together like that and attack them, you're also attacking some of Soto's supporters. Too funny!

[The_Noble_Cause]

LOL...it had five minutes of fame on a couple syndicated shows!

That's all that was needed to make an impact.
Augeri is now freezing his sack off somewhere in central park.

Like I said, water over the bridge.

[The_Noble_Cause]

Sure it does...or you wouldn't keep replying back.

I reply back to a myriad of topics on this forum. Nice try though.

The bottom line is you "believers" took a small bit of truth, and blown it up out of all proportion by adding a LOT of opinion and speculation and tagged it on to that small bit of truth. You can't PROVE *ANY* of it...but that doesn't stop you guys from DEMANDING it to be true.

LOL.
Whatever you say, man!
Now go bid on that sweat stained Augeri towel on Ebay.

I laugh at you more with a belly full of booze
and my kids tucked in for the night than I do
when straight faced and seeing through all your
lines...I always had my eye's on what Journey was doing
even if the two bit journalists didn't....just so you know

[Monker]

you can't prove that it had ANY impact, or that the band even noticed. Again, all you have shown is MORE opinion on timing of this and timing of that means this other thing. All that is circumstantial.

I'm sure during this time some arab blew himself up in Iraq....I spose Journey had something to do with that too. It happened right at the same time...must be all Dean's fault. Gas prices are coming down again...thank God JSS is in Journey!

The only 'impact' I can see is on THIS forum and BT. It didn't "blow up" anywhere else.

[The_Noble_Cause]

Resistence if futile, or useless...or whatever. I've been saying the EXACT same things from the beginning.

Who cares what you say?
You have also been petitioning your state representative to legalize incest for a quarter century.
Go get fucked.

What makes you think you can make them see things clerly?

Too funny.

[Monker]

Who cares what you say?

Oh, I don't know. Don't care who cares, or if anybody cares. It's just so fun to say it!

You have also been petitioning your state representative to legalize incest for a quarter century.
Go get fucked.

Well, at least I'm waiting. Didn't take you long to dig up Dean's dead mother, did it? Must have been all nice and juicy, just how you like it!

[The_Noble_Cause]

I've never said I wanted to disabuse u poor blind idiots from your mistaken beliefs.
Nice attempt at making me spill the goods though.

Again, all you have shown is MORE opinion on timing of this and timing of that means this other thing. All that is circumstantial.

Who says I have to prove something beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Furthermore, who says I have to prove anything to you - period.
I am just speaking from my own experiences.

I'm sure during this time some arab blew himself up in Iraq....I spose Journey had something to do with that too. It happened right at the same time...must be all Dean's fault. Gas prices are coming down again...thank God JSS is in Journey!

Typical disgruntled Augerifag response.
Go back into your BDSM dungeon room and let off some steam.

[The_Noble_Cause]

Well, at least I'm waiting. Didn't take you long to dig up Dean's dead mother, did it? Must have been all nice and juicy, just how you like it!

Yeah, and while I was at it, I exhumed your dad and took a shit in his worm infested mouth.
I also pryed his dick off and used it as a fox tail for my new car radio antenna.
Looks spiffy.

[Monker]

No, you are demanding we believe a bunch of bullshit.

I don't think you have any beans to spill...no reason to believe you did, either.

Who says I have to prove something beyond a shadow of a doubt.

YOU DO...when you go about demeaning people for not holding same opinion you do.

I am just speaking from my own experiences.

Then don't be suprised when people say you are full of shit.

I'm sure during this time some arab blew himself up in Iraq....I spose Journey had something to do with that too. It happened right at the same time...must be all Dean's fault. Gas prices are coming down again...thank God JSS is in Journey!

Typical disgruntled Augerifag response.

Now, that's the typical way you guys dodge the FACT that you haven't shown any hard evidence of anything AT ALL...just totaly avoid the question and divert attention to an insult, such as the one below...

Go back into your BDSM dungeon room and let off some steam.

Now, is the point where I'm get into another tit-for-tat with you.

But, I'll give Andrew a break from that, this time.

[Monker]

You're such a moron...you don't even know enough about me to attempt to do that! My dad isn't in a grave. Too funny! Keep it up...you'll eventualy get it right!

[The_Noble_Cause]

No, you are demanding we believe a bunch of bullshit.

You simply exist in an alternate reality.
It's no different than those poor naive fools that choose to believe Perry did intend to tour for TBF.
Some of us choose to exist in reality, and others choose to exist in Dimension X.

I don't think you have any beans to spill...no reason to believe you did, either.

Don't care.

YOU DO...when you go about demeaning people for not holding same opinion you do.

Just because I impart my own views, I am obligated to enlighten you to the error of your ways?
Sorry, world doesn't work that way.
Nobody is entitled to a handout.

Then don't be suprised when people say you are full of shit.

Oh, I couldn't care less.
Keep counting down the days for Augeri's triumphant return, u true believer, you'll be dead soon.

Now, that's the typical way you guys dodge the FACT that you haven't shown any hard evidence of anything AT ALL

Nobody here owes you anything.
This "give me something for nothing" attitude leads me to believe you grew up on welfare and your mom was a crack junkie.

But, I'll give Andrew a break from that, this time.

Why?
He is probably pissing himself from laughter.
Bring it on, cocksmith.

[The_Noble_Cause]

You're such a moron...you don't even know enough about me to attempt to do that! My dad isn't in a grave. Too funny! Keep it up...you'll eventualy get it right!

Well it had your last name on the tombstone!
Must've been your gay ex-lover that you gave Subsaharan monkey pox to.

[Glenn]

The biggest mistake on Arrival was not releasing WORLD WIDE IN OCT 2000...It would then have beaten the napster downloading...and Arrival **might** have been a top 20 CD instead of charting at 56...as it started out..and plunged from there.. Radio would have found higher place and all the way...and maybe kiss me soflty... But NOOOO.. they waited Until April 2001..... 5 months after the Japan release date...

Rick

Yeah, but u have to admit the Japanese version of Arrival featured a really unsatisyfing track list.
If the Napster leak hadn't forced Neal to change it up, "Arrival" would probably be the mellowiest Journey album ever.
Yes, even more mellow and drab than TBF.

World Gone Wild saved that cd....Thank God it made it onto the U.S. version.

[The_Noble_Cause]

World Gone Wild saved that cd....Thank God it made it onto the U.S. version.

I wouldn't go that far.
Def. a big improvement.
Moving "To Be Alive Again" up from the status of a hidden bonus track was a good move too
