Another poll for you to vote on, just cos I'm feeling bored in the Highlands. Once I'm back in Edinburgh I bet you'll hardly see me on here.

Two words: Mass Sucide.

When Augeri's exit is finally announced, the BT death toll will make Heaven's Gate look like a day at the beach.

Do you really think so?? It seems that there are only 5-6 over there that constantly bumpp up the "prayer circle" type crap. They keep starting the threads and keep bumping them up, but if you check the names, it's always the same ones. It's also interesting to note that they weren't around until Augeri left...then suddenly they started posting over there.

I think the majority of the fans have accepted JSS...most are even excited about the change and the energy. The hard core Augeri only fan base is very insignificant, IMO.

Nope. I am just off-puttingly morbid.

And that'll keep happening even after his departure is made permanent.
The same way our very own Augeri-worshiping gimp slaveboy, Monker, is being a rabble rouser here.

You're right.
And that's no slight on Augeri, either.
JSS's hardcore US base is insignificant, as well.
It's all about the catalog.

wasn't jss asked to join journey back in `98 when they were looking for someone to take over lead vocals? i remember reading somewhere that he was asked but turned down the offer out of respect for sp. i don't remember where i read this... it might have been off a message board so it very well could be false information. }:C) just asking! }:C))

i didn't vote because my thoughts are still up in the air. i would love for jss to stay... the selfish part wants him to... but what about all his solo/talisman work? that stuff is far too good to get buried or put aside. what about a journey/talisman tour? that would be awesome. i really can't & don't want to say anything bad about neal, ross or jon... first i don't know what went on because i wasn't involved & it's not like i have never done anything in my life that i regret doing so who am i really to pass judgement on anyone? anyway... i have my own stuff to worry about. }:C))

I feel the same way. While Jeff would be good in Journey long-term...I'd hate to see his other stuff put "on hold", or go away completely.

Why does every bloody topic here have to reference users of BT?

GIVE IT A BLOODY REST - POSTS DELETED.

What posts were deleted? I still see BT posts here?

I only see 24 votes. No much more of a fan base than Steve Augeri has, right?

No. Neal never met JSS until 2004 at NAMM.
