"A Faded" rock Band...Journey mention

[Rockindeano]

Cheney, lol..What, he couldn't remember what he said, so he said both phrases? That's the intelligence of our leaders...

[jrnyman28]

The fecundity of that creative triumvirate was unmatched!

What?

Which part seems to be the problem?

Fecundity means prolificness, and triumvirate is a pairing of three. So I am saying that the creative musical output by the three-person-team of Perry/Cain/Schon is unmatched.
Is everyone ok, now?
...dumb shits

Not sure if you are serious about the "dumb shits" comment but I think I will take that as joking around. The word "Fecundity" is what threw me off. I admit I have never been exposed to that word before! Thank you professor! But I am not sure you can say triumvirate is a "pairing" of "three". Pairing can only be of two's. Poor word usage I suppose...but not dumb shit!

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see that Deano already got you on the "pairing".

[jrnyman28]

I'm wondering why Deano and Noble don't already have an HBO show? There's money to be made there... and all you have to do is sit them down next to each other, and turn on the video cameras.

Maybe THEY should replace Howard!!

[Rockindeano]

Maybe THEY should replace Howard!!

You can't replace a legend.


And no PerryHeads, Perry was not a legend.

[jrnyman28]

Maybe THEY should replace Howard!!

You can't replace a legend.

Ok, maybe I should say follow. Some of the stations are getting DLR and some are getting someone else (whose name escapes me). But many are really messing with their formats because of losing Howard...THAT is where you and TNC come in!!

The more I repeat the word "fecundity" the more I am reminded that I have to take a shit! (WOW, did I just say that?!?!?) The word sounds like it has a root in "fecal"....

I responded so you couldn't edit it out...join in on the debauchery 28..It's all good.

BTW, Adam Corolla from the Man Show is the other guest host.

I rarely edit out things I have said. I usually edit to add!

That's right! God I hate that guy! He is like the Paris Hilton of talk shows. He is everywhere, he gets all these shows, and yet it is like he has done NOTHING! I just do not find him funny at all....

You are not the type who would be fooling themselves into believing there was no "message" behind that post. I hate the word agenda, but this is pretty much a clear cut example (based on her history) of just that!

Dave, I'm just trying to treat all the posts equally and avoid a fight. If I wanted to jump on every innuendo, implication or overtly slanderous statement that's in a lot of the posts on here regarding Perry I'd spend all of my time here fighting with someone about something.

I really did think this would be a good topic to discuss if we just looked at the differences in the ways the replacement of the singer was handled.

[Rockindeano]

The replacement of the singer was handled perfectly. One singer didn't show up for work...for 7 years. The employer even called the singer, giving him a chance to explain, another shot at returning..Singer said..no. Band goes out and gets the singer they want. Singer is decent..After 3 years, singer is good. After 4 more years, singer is awesome. band made right decision. Band doesn't need our approval or some damned "journalists'" opinion either. fact of the matter is Journey can do whatever the Hell they want..They did..And they got it right.

Enough already.

Thanks for this link PF. This isn't a random opinion. It's what is generally thought, of Journey, by anyone who ever knew the band when it had substance.

They have more than ever, HOTS. You just have to open your mind and ears and listen.

Love that pic ...thanks TNC

Whoa Nellie! Your version is just Way too damn cold-hearted!

Actually, you nailed it. In a nutshell, this is exactly how it went. My impression of the whole scenario is that Mr. Perry decided he didn't want to be the lead singer anymore and simply wanted Journey to sit on the shelf, so to speak. When the other guys decided that wasn't what THEY wanted, they felt it best if he did his business or got off the pot, so to speak. He "let them go" but not without a lot of stipulation and acrimony.

It's too bad, but like Steve Smith has stated publically at a drum clinic I attended, "What happened in Journey happened in a lot of bands and some of them were much worse." (my paraphrase)

The way I see it, both Journey and Perry have the ability and freedom to do what they want, when they want and it seems as if both camps are doing just that.

Perry's latest offering was the DSB redux (albeit acapella) and Journey's is Generations. The quality is lack a bit on Steve's recent release, but I'm thrilled with what Journey has produced.

[fred_journeyman]

Okay, your post got me LMAOROTF!

The visual picture needs to get out of my head!

Jeremey,

Could you please speak in clearer words? WTF did you just say?

You like to touch yourself to Journey songs? Dude, I love the band more than anyone, but I have yet to feed the geese to Butterfly. I love Faithfully too, but you don't see me tuggin root outdside Starbucks listening to it. My ex wasn't begging for Guy Gravvy when Seperate Ways came on.. Or asking me for prick paste when DSB was on KLOS....

Jeremey, are you saying your man tube gets rigid when Believe comes on?


Hahahaha

Nice post dude.. I still have no idea what Butterfly, touching yourself, and driving down the 10 at 3AM have in common...

[fred_journeyman]

Hey Dave,

Say it ain't so! These gals CAN'T be using the same tactics that they've been using for the past 3 to 5 years, can they?!

And then to act as if that's not what was really meant is just plain ________ (fill in the blank).

We all know why this thread was started. In fact, we know why certain people remain on this board even after Andrew had to close it for a while (yep, I came back to visit one day to see Andrew's announcement). And here I was told that everyone gets along. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Such lies don't go unnoticed...or unpunished.

Ohsherrie, you know that the sole reason PF posted this article was because it says something derogatory about Journey's current lineup...

Well then, no room for discussion here. Of course, everything the band does is perfect and everything Perry did is wrong. (but then, without Perry most of us would never have heard of Journey, but then again, that doesn't count.) Geez, why did it take me so long to figure this out?

Either you worship at the altar of anything with the name Journey(except the Perry part) and crucify Perry for any and everything, or your opinion is without merit. OK, got it. No opinions that might sound a bit controversial allowed, just cheerleading(Oooooh I love this Gens song don't you? Oooooooh, wasn't Neal's riff great on that one? Ooooooooh, wasn't that show great? Oooooooh didn't Jon tear that keyboard up? Ooooooh Dean's the best drummer Journey ever had and he sings sooooo good. Oooooooh Auggie's so great we can forget the man that put Journey on the charts.)

(Sounds a little BTish to me. )

[Rockindeano]

Shut up, Sherrie. Don't you ever tell me I am a little BTish gay...That reeks of possum piss....read on-

I said no such thing. Like it was said before, the sole reason why this crappy thread was started was to bash the current lineup. I didn't bash Perry once. I merely stated a FUCKING POINT...That Perry failed to show up for work for 7 years...Now if that's bashing, then I will lick your shit out of a cone.....

It doesn't have to be a fight...See, on your side, that's all you have..is to bash the current lineup, because the current lineup is visible. Perry is long gone...I loved what he brought, but how can I possibly like what he did to the band? How can I be a lover of perry after seeing his bullshit?

Get real.

This has NOTHING to do with conflicting opinions. It has EVERYTHING to do with your side being limited in it's attacks....very limited.

[ohsherrie]

Shut up, Sherrie.

Sugar, I just had to let you know how F&%king BTish your post sounded.

[Rockindeano]

No. I just re-read my own post, and it NEVER bashes Perry, and NEVER cheerleads. Please give me the sentence, the lone sentence where I do so.

Please.

[Rockindeano]

I just re-read yet again..Still a perfect post..I defy you to derail it..

We can still be friends..just prove me wrong.

[ohsherrie]

No. I just re-read my own post, and it NEVER bashes Perry, and NEVER cheerleads. Please give me the sentence, the lone sentence where I do so.

Please.

I wasn't talking about any particular sentence or word. The overall tone of the post just sounded to me as if you were were saying "anything and everything the band does is perfect." I didn't mean to say that you "bashed" Perry in that post. I was just saying that, in general, Perry bashing is accepted, whereas sometimes any criticism of the band seems to be unacceptable to you.

No. Stop. I see you working. You can't spin out of this one, Sherrie. I never cheerlead....I didn't say ra ra. I said what the band did in this circumstance was within their right, and that they got it right.

Come on, eith produce a worthwhile argument, or admit defeat....

Baby, I'm not defeated. We're just arguing two different points. You sometimes sound in your posts as if you won't accept anything but good opinions of anything the band does. That's what I call cheerleading whether you say "rah rah" or not.

If you want to talk solely about the post I quoted, in that post you stated your point as if what the band did was right and there was no way to argue it. There is always a way to argue, if you want to do so.

That makes my point. If you want to find a way to make PF's post into a bash of the band, you certainly can. If you want to talk about the meat of the article, you can do that too, which was what I tried to do.

If I wanted to cause a controversy over every slam against Perry that's posted here I could do that. I just choose not to do so.

[Rockindeano]

Ok, don't think I am walking away from this one..

Sherrie, you are not making any goddamned sense. Yes, a lot of times, it's my opinion and that's it..but here, I have made the perfect post.

Journey is not subject to our beliefs. Journey did what Journey wanted to do.

How is it YOU know the correct way to hire a new singer? Neal and Jon did what HAD tobe done. Their singer was a no show, no call for 2300 days....What the fuck are they suppose to do?

Journey did what was right for them as a band, and what was right for them as people. I bet you would want them to still be waiting right?

Like I said, they did it their way, and they absolutely got it right. Oh, and the end result is just validating my argument. Augeri is making Neal and Jon look pretty good right about now.

Your turn

[Angiekay]

Ted was probably busy in Michigan skinning wild boar and raping razorbacks...That fucker is out there...

Don't get me started on Nugent... right, Angie?

I was watching him and his wife on some news talk show the other night and thought, "NIG would LOVE this!" lmao!

[Rockindeano]

I got the Nugent cookbook for Christmas last year....weird...

Why weird? IT was weird...or weird that someone would give it to you?

Have you seen it? It shows Ted grinnin like some Arkansas hillbilly feller, skinnin a hog..and blood all over the damned place...I threw that piece of shit away.

[ohsherrie]

Your turn

OK, I wasn't arguing with you about whether the band's decision was right or wrong. I was talking about the tone of some of your posts.

About the band's decision, yes, they did what they wanted to do. Whether their decision was good or bad depends upon your point of view. Some of your posts sound as if the only valid point of view is yours.

I like a lot of the new music. That doesn't mean I don't still prefer the Perry era music. I like other bands, but not as well as I like Perry/Journey. What am I supposed to do? Should I lie and say I like the band's music now as much as I liked the Perry stuff? Can I not be a Journey fan if I don't like the new stuff as much as the old? That doesn't make a lot of sense.
