At the risk of revealing my buffoon status...

[augeri1]

and the risk of getting banned, as it seems just those that are new and like to mud sling are the only one's in danger when they post...I guess I'm on a tight leash along with a couple of others...I shall try to be civil in regards to my post...but no promises because I do have much to say.

I find it pathetic that people are allowed to sling mud, trash people who disagree (oh I'm sorry, make that "debate") with them, threaten, belittle and out in out verbally abuse members for stating their opinions...YET when we throw it back in the same fashion it was thrown at us...we're called troublemakers, shit stirrers (LOFL), buffoons and everything else you can think of. The newbies simply came here to defend Steve & the band and in some cases, friends...simply posting your thoughts got you nothing but threats and verbal abuse..so because we haven't proven our worthiness to be a respected member...we should turn the other cheek? Not when lies are being posting about a man who has taken and taken crap over the past 8 years..and with much class I gotta say..I for one would've told all perryheads to bite my ass and bark at the hole...he doesn't deserve it, so yeah, we fight back...just as much our right as your so called freedom of speech is..yet it's gone far and beyond freedom of speech folks..FAR!

It seem's there are those who won't let go of Big D's conspiracy theory that Andrew said to drop here in the old Journey forum...simply because they know, and because it's been stated, that none of the topics will be deleted..at the most, closed..yet that's no skin off their nose for their purpose in posting is attention and no matter if it's closed, it's still visual to everyone. To say you are cowards is an understatement. Just shows the world to what extent a diehard Jealous Perry fan won't go through to try and bring back their savior. Yet it has nothing to do with him they say..although it's kind of odd that everyone that's fallen for this whole conspiracy is just that..be it members of this forum, or owners & bloggers of websites that are falling for the BS. God forbid someone makes a statement about perry's hair...the world is coming to an end..but this is a bands future you people are screwing with, and I hope and pray they take out each and every last one of you..including all the websites and bloggers too..you deserve everything you got coming to you and more.

Maybe you SHOULD clarify where you stand on this Andrew..for I am bewildered as to why this is being allowed. Freedom of speech is one thing, debating is one thing...this topic is in neither of those two catagories and I don't know how you can justify keeping the threads alive and well. I for one wonder if you can even look Steve Augeri in the eye now or even talk to him on the phone...got any interviews lined up? I see info about the new Tall Stories release on your site...that's gutsy. I'm curious as to what your answer will be if he asks "why did you allow all the libel and slander to be posted about me, Andrew?" What WILL your answer be?? "Freedom of Speech, dude!, Now about this new Tall Stories CD...." I think you might have the biggest balls of all, Mr. McNeice..closing the forum for a couple of days and a few warnings to "cool it" doesn't make up for whats been allowed in here..not even close. You asked that folks..esp us newbies to respect YOUR forum...well you give it to earn it and allowing someone to attack and threaten people especially after their very first post...what a welcome that is to a Journey fan...and that's happened with several people here, not just me...and without consequences too! That's not what I call respecting your members either...you really should put up a sign that states "POST AT YOUR OWN RISK...PERRYHEADS AMONG US...NO MOD ON DUTY" and if there was one on duty it wouldn't really matter, now would it? FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!

For Deano and his "perry lovin buddies" I'M LOVING THIS ONE...your day in the spotlight is near if that's what the agenda is...not enough money being circulated around this old world that would have me trade places with any of you or that could save any of your asses at this point.....matter of fact I'd bet a lifetimes salary that Deano and his followers go down for the count before the tour even kicks off....libel and slander....karma's coming full force and she's worse than Katrina ever thought to be.

I would like to extend my sincere apologies to all the GOOD folks here at the MR journey forum..for it was not my intent to get the forum closed..but to defend, not only an innocent man, but myself at times...I'm sorry it got so far out of hand.

To the good folks here...keep believing in the Journey..it's aLIVE and well!

Still in a betting mood too..so I'll throw in my membership to this forum that my freedom of speech gets deleted before this day is over...ya think?

Good Day Mates, it could've been fun!

Buffoon #2 checking in..........

Thanks Penny for quite concisely laying it out for everyone.

Ditto everything she said.

[Red13JoePa]

Huge Augeri and Journey fan but you guys need to understand more about Andrew prior to carptet calling him. There are reasons for which he asked a few more days to align. I don't know those reasons myself but you have to take his request on the front page to heart.

[Cantbleeveit]

OMG!! Penny

You have stated beautifully exactly what is in my heart. Count me in as one who would stand and support Steve Augeri to the end.
Everything you have said rings true.

You rock!!

Pardon me Papa, but I don't have to understand jack shit. Anyone who stands by under the guise of first ammendament freedom while a true family man is trashed over and over and over and yet again over can kiss my ass and take my name. Especially considering he has no clue what fighting for freedom is all about. I offered the chance for the witch hunt here to be stopped with dignity. Well give me dignity or give me death because it sure got overlooked in favor of adding fuel to the fire. Am I happy with the last 18 days? Hell friggin no, but it's not on me. It could have been stopped before it ever began, and it absolutley was not. Andrews got a lot of friggin nerve to ever look northeastward again for any interview or scoop. I got the PM's to prove it too. You folks enjoy your trash talking destructive community of has beens and what ifs. If you contribute here, you're part of it, plain and simple, but you could always choose to walk away.

Karma to you all.

Andrew is a journalist and he finally did what he's supposed to as a journalist. He kept his trap shut long enough and that isn't appreciated. I can tell he didn't want to be in this at all but what choice has he been given? I think it's Journey's turn to step-up to the plate, free ride is over people.

Andy is not a journalist. At the very best he is an internet phenom. The same, and only country that also provides freedom of speech and protest provides innocent until proven guilty too, and I'll be damned if I've heard one bit of hard evidence, (other than idiotic self proclaimed defacto personal vendetta bullshit evidence) presented here. Andy unmade his bed, and freedom of the press will not make it. There's plenty of Rock N Roll sites out there. It's a shame that Andy allowed the very humans that actually made him famous to be the ones who just might make him infamous. It's not up to him. It's up to you.

You want journalism? OK.

The buffoons report. U decide. (as the albinos still roam the outback)

Must be a full moon. Journey turning out their dogs to try intimidation tactics. Mr. McNeice may live in Austrailia, but he understands freedom of speech. I guess Rockndeano's information is the only thing at which you can throw stones. Why aren't you tearing apart the producer from Swedish radio and his engineers? You think all of them also have no credibility? It's funny how a topic of discussion with information that backs up that discussion is supposed to be censored, according to you. Fortunately, you are not the owner nor the moderator of this board.

Thank you very much ...other professionals have said the same thing and haven't had a word said about them ...hmmm go figure...but you all can go and beat up on the one messenger who had the balls to bring up at the back talk area (which you can't even talk about in there even though it is a Journey related item )and now the lock everything even remotely close to that matter...

First of all on a private board, there is NO SUCH THING as freedom of speech.

That only exists in regards to what the government can and can't do to you in terms of your speech, written or spoken. It has nothing to do with a forum owned and operated by a private individual.

Now to address the producer comment:

Beyond a post on a Google newsgroup is there anything else to prove who this person is?

That would be proof. What I have seen and heard is no more proof than any other claims made about other conspiracy theories.

Take this fire and brimstone bullshit somewhere else. Check my posts if you you're unclear where I am on the Augeri issue.

[Clasicrockldy]

Penny,

Once again you have tried to make this a Perry-Augeri thing. What is going on has nothing to do with Perry, just Augeri, and the current lineup. I wouldn't doubt that there may be some Augeri fans out there that are questioning this. Maybe they are not publicly saying anything, but they could question this in their minds.

And as for Perry, he has stated that he won't be singing with Journey ever again. So saying that all this stuff is being done by jealous Perry fans to get Steve P back is way off base. Steve P does his own thing, Journey does theirs. So this whole thing that is going on is only focused on Augeri and the current Journey.

[augeri1]

It's funny how a topic of discussion with information that backs up that discussion is supposed to be censored, according to you. Fortunately, you are not the owner nor the moderator of this board.

what information? two bit bootlegs? what discussion? NOBODY's allowed to "discuss" anything without personal attacks...LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING!! yeah, you're right about one thing..FORTUNATELY, I am not the owner nor the mod of this board...the BS wouldn't have escalated as far as it has.

You could be wrong. In fact I talked to the VP of that swede station yestreday.

Penny Fowler, MCC(Whatever the Hell your name is), Shitman, Cantbelieve it....

Hey newbies....

Welcome, and goodbye..You trying to influence a free speech board? Why? BT won't allow it? You people are so fucking sad.

Penny, you really think I am about to get sued? For what? If anyone is getting sued, it's Augeri and or Journey. I am smart enough to research the facts BEFORE I accuse someone publicly, you dumb twit. Like I said, start tearin' down the Augeriville site, cus the last days are upon you.

I am NOT a Perry Loon. never have, never will be. Here's an idea, go research my posts the last 18 months. See what side I was on. That's right, I was pro Augeri, until I saw what the Hell was going on. What I didn't know, is this shit hasn't been going on for just last year. It has been going on much much longer.

You will find out next week. Let's see, KFOG radio, Shipwrecked, Melodic.net and soon many others are going to go public with this.

I hope all you sorry suckholes are here the day after. You can all get on your knees and apologize for being the morons you are.

PS, for the last time, Steve Augeri is NOT a classy guy. Anyone who premeditates a false pretense, a fraud, or a fooling of the very people who put money in his pocket and food on his families table, can go straight to Hell. And that goes for every fucking person involved with this scam; Neal, Cain, Elson, Azoff, Consolo, you name it. I hope they are forever fucked over in the industry.

Don't blame me, I only blew the whistle, I didn't commit the crime.

PPS- Fuck you Craig.

Well, well, look who is back. Deano-the-Demented, ranting and spewing his nonsense over here.

So, you can't post anything on your blog, as advised by a "friend"? Don't you mean as advised by your attorney?

I just wish Andrew had the balls to put a gag on you, much like the "friend" of yours did.

Dean did you read ONE word about what I said about Ad Hominem attacks?
Calling people names just makes you look like you have a weak argument. It certainly diminishes any chance of swaying me, because it looks like you are deflecting attention from your weak set of evidence, and that never works on people who have any education, or know how to debate.
If you have all this evidence, put it out, and I don't mean a post from some no name on Google news groups, or nameless person saying that if the promoter had known they wouldn't have booked Journey, or your very low quality bootleg rips with "blends" of other bootlegs and the 2001 DVD. REAL proof.
Debate the issues, not the personalities. But you can't can you? You only have what you have put up on your blog, which isn't much, you have been refuted by the manager of the radio station your supposed Swedish expert works at.
The way I look at it you are in DEEP and over your head, unless you have more, and if you do put it on the table or just shut up, either way you will save yourself a lot of hassle.

Sure you say that media outlets are going to pick up the story, but unlike you they will subject everything to EXPERTS, and VERIFY what they are saying. So don't expect to hear anything that backs up what you say, unless you have more you aren't sharing.
The most people will hear or read something like this: "Fan makes accusations against Rock band...our experts looked at the evidence and have found nothing to verify the fans assertations."
At which point you will have totally discredited yourself, and will probably be taken to court, and since you posted everything on the internet they don't have to sue you in California, they can do from another state or even another country!
So put up...or shut up, as they say.

[Rockindeano]

Looks like BT army has invaded.

You are all so spineless.

Pit, please tell Hourney to sue me. I cannot wait. I will walk out of that courtroom with a hefty settlement. Please please sue me.


I have evidence you people would never knew existed. By the way, when the "report" comes out next week, it will be a lot worse than anything I have said yet..A lot worse. You will not believe what was done by these clowns. I have thrown all my Journey 1998 -future shit away. selling them on ebay would be immoral. Knowing what I know now, I am sickened by the word Journey.

Hey Craig, I thought you were comin out to Calif? I am still here. Why don't you go post some digital pics at Fowlers site? Real tough taking digital pics. Fuck, are you serious? THAT is a job? Christ, you are a tard.

[augeri1]

Here's an idea, go research my posts the last 18 months.

I really don't give a rats what you posted for the last 18 months...my issue is what you've been posting over the past month and why it's been allowed over and over and over again. All your followers are Pheads, I don't care what you USED to be..go down the list...pro perry, pro perry, pro perry...kind of repeticious huh? And Oh MY MY, you know my last name...didn't take a genius to find that out...hell it's right there on the front page of the old website..but could you say it just one more time, for old times sake? you make my ass ache.

Again you go for personal attacks while not really supporting your argument. Why?
If your evidence is so damning then you should just put it out for everyone to see.
You won't though, because you don't have it.
Good debaters lead with their best evidence, and use the circumstantial to shore up the facts, but you are going in reverse.
It doesn't work that way.
It just makes the whole thing look weak and unsubstantiated.
Which more and more it appears to be.

[Monker]

Interesting. I did a Google news search on his name. I didn't spend much time, I didn't see any other post where he talked about recording shows for radio...Plenty of posts looking for bootlegs though. It also seems odd that Deen made a post that he trades Email with him every day...But, this guy made a follow up post in his thread point people to Dean's blog saying, "looks like somebody else sees what I see", or whatever.

I don't know anything about this guy. He posted to the Journey newsgroup a bit, years ago, but I never had any indication that he was a producer of radio shows...maybe his, I don't know. The whole thing still seems a bit odd to me.

Oh I have it. I put it up for people to hear, and it gets mysteriously blocked. Why?

Why would Journey want their music blocked? I will ask you why?

And don't tell me it's a legal issue either.

I've heard your evidence Dean. It is singularly unimpressive.

I have been to more shows that you can imagine, and sat as close to the band as you can get without being IN the band.

I've have had PRIVATE Journey concert, in your favorite little place in Orilla, Canada. A full dress rehersal, I sat ON the stage. Me, my wife and a couple of others.
My daughter watches the 2001 DVD over and over. I know the music and the vocal inflections to a tee, your MP3 don't prove a THING other than you have a terrible ear for picking things out of music, especially VOCAL CHARACTERISTICS.

So give me MORE, if you have it as you say, give it me or anyone else for that matter. I have a sever I will set up and FTP for you so I can listen to it.

But I have to say if your evidence is as bad as what you have put up so far, you sir are in deep shit.

[Rockindeano]

You of course did not answer my question.

Why the need to block files?

Oh and PS....you cannot tell by looking. Fraudgeri is very good at this game now. Hell last week no one could tell, but alas, He sang one, maybe two songs at most the entire week.

Oh PPS..I play both guitar and piano. My musical ear is just fine, thank you.

[A Fire Inside]

Are you quite sure it's JOURNEY blocking your files? It's more likely to be fans who disagree with you.

I didn't answer because I don't know why. It is probably something legal. and you asked me not to tell you that, so I didn't.

Again with the name calling. Stop it and try and act like the adult you are please?

I play guitar, drums, piano and bass, as well as tuba, so I will see your musical ear and raise you.

I can tell by looking I have seen enough lipsyncs before, I have seen Steve sing a whole show, front to back from less that 3 feet away.

Your evidence is weak. Period.

I don't care personally if you are going away or whatever. I don't particularly care if you win or lose, go to court, I will make sure I take time off to come watch the trial, it would be entertaining at least.

But either put up or shut up. If you have this supposed evidence then OUT with it, oh and I have downloaded everyone one of the MP3's you posted, and I told you there is not an overlay on any of them that I can hear with my ears.
