SONY/PERRY'S REVELATION RETALIATION?

[Michigan Girl]

i don't think anyone is putting words in your post. we're paying attention & reading your subject line, which has the word RETALIATION in it.

That's exactly right, and RETALIAION is a NOUN which means "counteraction, and responsive measure for measure", which is precisely what this package is to the letter. Hello!

If you'd prefer to think this is timely coincidence, then feel free to live in that land. But be sure to give those rose colored glasses a polish every now and then, so you can see the wondrous colors of Oz with greater clarity.

When you're going to emphasize a word by changing the size of its font, you might want to make sure it's spelled correctly, especially when you appear to be calling someone out.

Thanks for the tip, that's why it's spelled correctly, braintrust.

I think he's referring to your version of RETALIATION!!!! Check that!!!

But if you think it is any sort of retaliation, you are completely mistaken.

So you think this would have been planned, and released on the same date without the revelation deal ? There's definitely some mistaken happening.

No worries. But maybe while you're there, you'll take note that "without" is one word. Braintrust.

Unless you have proof to back your words, it doesn't matter how you spell it. Your just giving your own twisted theory because you THINK that is what is going on. That is rumor, or speculation. If you have no proof, expect people to disagree with you.

And who said posting on message boards was a waste of time? I learn something every day.

Dane Cook done done it.

I'm saying - It would be smart of Sony to get a package together to sell (especially at other retailers) at the same time as a new Journey package is being released. And this would be seen as very positive by all parties who stand to make money, including Neal, Jon, and Ross (and Perry). And in fact it would be the job of Journey Management and Sony Legacy management to do something like this in the interest of their companies and their artists. They would be failing them otherwise.

Yes - planned. Yes - Smart. No - not retaliation or Perry or whatever. Simple rules of business. It's just people capitalizing on opportunity.

The "proof" is in the timeline- where is that thing? Each and every time Journey does something, Sony does something else. Whether it's Perry or not, the 'coincidence' excuse no longer flies.

Post that timeline...

[Memorex]

Pet peeve. Don't get on people for spelling. I'm sure most people would think all of us stupid for spending large portions of our workdays discussing old bands like Journey with the truly insane. And this board has the cream of the insane.

Most peoples opinions are far worse than their spelling.

You mean every time something is done by an artist formerly with Sony, they actually try and move their asset called a catalog? How shocking. Go to the charts and look what happens to the catalog everytime Journey is in the spotlight. Do the same thing for any band with a decent catalog. Sony would be committing malpractice if they didn't try and maximize the return on those investments.

I just brought it up to be a prick since that was the word being emphasized.

I think the better word would be opportunistic when talking about Sony's actions, not retaliation.

Funny... this was the same BRAINTRUST who just this morning tried to smack me for mistyping a word.

Call this my "RETALIAION " for that.

Did I say 'everytime an artist formerly with sony'? No. I said Journey. I have no idea what they do with others...

ROFLMFAO!

ROFLMFAO!

^^Jesus, that's the shit Mr. Hammer is talking about!

[artist4perry]

Love it! I'll run all my sentences by an English teacher before I can post! NOT!

Or, is it Perry messing with my messages to make me seem as if I can't write? Oh, this is so getting out of hand! What shall we do! Or is it the Sony corporation trying to get me because they want to get even with me for buying the new CD! The conspiracies just go on and on! What shall I do! Where can I hide the children! My world is ending!

[bluejeangirl76]

When he's not punching kittens, he lurks here, waits for you to post, then hacks in and changes them. Then he goes back to punching kittens and plotting against Journey.

And last week, he stole his neighbor's newspaper.
