I JUST DON'T GET IT

[zino]

How come Deano must make evrey thread with the mention of the word Augeri into a profane, attack on him and all the people that even mention his name. We get the point you don't like him, you might even hate him, hat the fact at what he did. We all get that you have been singing the same song the last few months. Can anyone just mention the fact that they saw Augeri at the show and that be it, NO it becomes an attack from the know it all. I have asked you before how you have gotten such information on the band or how you got ahold of Augeris demo tapes when he sang the first time for Journey bak in 98. No response if you want more credability in my eyes it would be better too tell all your source of information. You have alos told me before that you have no source, I find this hard too believe. You will probably launch a profantiy laced attack on me for putting this out there but, for the most part people are here for information on the band, too discuss shows, and there opinons on the band. Not too attack someone for there thoughts, and before you say it I have only posted at BT 8-10 times and I prefer this board. But what gives you the right too attack every person that metions Augeris name, the fact that you have over 7000 posts... that you can put on your resume. For the record I am not happy what Augeri did either and it kindda upset me but I didn't let it ruin my day, I accepted it and let the band move on...though they could of quicker and made some type of real announcement, and I know enjoy JSS singing for the band. Augeri had his time without him we would of had no Journey.. we could of been in the same place as 87-96. I was a fan of Arrival, but Red 13 and Generations did nothing for me. augeri proably overstayed in the band this last year, I didn't think his performance last year on the 30th anniversary tour was no where as good as his previous.

Anyway too wrap this up and wait for DEANO to call me every name in the book, I just ask wgo gave you the power too rule this board?? This a a fans board and you are way over the top, and you will say honest and I can agree with that, but you are also personely, vulgar and out of line at times. There are more polite ways to express your points ( and most are vaild) but you take it too a new level.

[Rockindeano]

Nice post.

I had trouble reading your writing; my dog can write better than this. However, You are correct in the fact I despise Augeri. Let me say this calmly.

Look, what he did was to gamble Journey's legacy, of which he had NOTHING to do to create it. Perry sang/wrote all the classics. For Augeri to do this, and want to keep doing it is beyond what I will ever take as a fan. Yes, I am a fan, but I'm not over the top. I happened to be the guy who brought this out into the light. If I didn't bring this up, Steve Augeri would still be getting glowing reviews, and his fans would still be saying, "Steve Perry Who" and JSS would not be heard from, and that is criminal. Augeri wants the millions of dollars, the fans, and the write ups, but doesn't have the talent to earn that right. People say Alex Rodriguez is overpaid. No. He is paid a monetary sum to provide results. Augeri was being paid to cheat on his job. Sorry, being a rock n roll frontman requires skill and talent, something perry and Jeff possess. Augeri, possesses neither quality, and now his moral charachter is of high doubt too.

Let's recap.

Augeri had no morale backbone to say, "Guys, I just have it anylonger." He would STILL be synching and what if, really, what if, a major media source wanted a juicy story. Please don't tell me DL/Journey is not making much bank, thus making it a juicy story. Can you imagine if they went after this instead of me? I promised Andrew and others that when they went live, I was done. I stuck to my word, and now am behind these guys 100% again. If I were a naysayer I would rethink your position. I can promise you next year will be one of substance.

How does a guy who thank Steve Perry in liner notes and publicly say he admires Perry for the Great he was, knowingly go out and mock his songs? What if I went up on stage and played mock guitar to a tape of Neal Schon? Trust me, I can make all the grimaces, faces, contorted looks and I can wear sunglasses. I can play guitar as good as Schon can....to a tape! Would you all be upset if that happened? Probably so.

Sources? Don't worry about my sources. I am in no position to name them. You say I will get more credibility if I reveal them? How so? What does it matter if you all know my source(s)? If what I say turns out to be true, that's the bottom line. Please don't tell me I am full of shit either, because I am constantly brought up, so some here think I have some credibility.

[sadie65]

Moral character? I'll say no more.

Wow

[KittyKat]

Dude you didn't address the part about you attacking the other posters and did prove Zino right by insulting him in your first line. Sooo, riddle me this you rolled over and died and forgave everyone else involved with that mess for the sake of JSS and for Journey to continue on as a band because you are a huge fan and never wanted to destroy them in the first place but why target and hate only Augeri? That's the only credibility issue I have with you Deano and don't cuss at me it's not nice and don't even try to say that you're naive enough to believe that only KE and SA knew. You never did answer that e-mail so I'm still wondering....

I DO attack other posters because most of the time they deserve to be attacked, for stupidity, ignorance and closed minded thinking. Zino needs to learn how to use the word "too." I amn going to be niceDeano and explain it right here, right now.

Zino, you just don't use "too" for the Hell of it. The word "too" is used to describe. I will give you a few examples.

"You are too stupid."
"Can I come too?"
"Journey are too talented to have a Mimer."

Now examples of the other "to."

"I need to take a shit."
"You need to stop lipping."
"Be Good to Yourself"


Hope this helps.

Sooo, riddle me this you rolled over and died and forgave everyone else involved with that mess for the sake of JSS and for Journey to continue on as a band because you are a huge fan and never wanted to destroy them in the first place

Mostly, yes. I never wanted them to be destroyed. I only wanted them to be live. Is that too much to ask? Also, Augeri was the ONLY one not doing his job. Look, this is the Big Leagues..if you can't perform here at a high level, then you simply cannot go to tapes to get by. I doubt Augeri could get out of the first round on American Idol right now; seriously.

but why target and hate only Augeri? That's the only credibility issue I have with you Deano and don't cuss at me it's not nice :wink

I just answered this.

and don't even try to say that you're naive enough to believe that only KE and SA knew. You never did answer that e-mail so I'm still wondering....

I know they all knew, but to what extent? Hmmm

Resend that email. I receive a billion. Not knowing someone put you way down on the priority list in terms of answering. You understand, right?

[Cantbleeveit]

I liked your post alot, Zino. You have made some excellent points.

This is Andrew's board, and he controls who can be allowed to say what here. Its very obvious that certain posters have free reign, and others do not. This makes me wonder about who a certain person's so-called "sources" are. That too, is obvious.
There is clearly a close bond between Andrew, RND and Jss, and that's fine. It is what it is.

As far as being attacked for mentioning SA, that is just plain crazy. SA was/is a part of Journey's legacy. He was chosen by Neal and Jon, invited by them, to join the band. Whether or not certain people can't handle that fact is their problem, not the problem of the rest of this board. This is a Journey board, and SA is a part of Journey, so like it or not, he can be mentioned here as often as people like. If someone has a personal problem with him and it is clear that the problem of hating him has become personal, then that person should be regarded as severly biased and his opinions should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
No one can take away the fact that Steve Augeri contributed to the history of Journey, in some eyes he did a wonderful job, and in others, not so great. Its a matter of opinion, and in a free speech society, who would expect anything less? Resorting to name calling, excessive obscenities, and degrading remarks is just a sign of immaturity, and again, the source should be considered and taken as such. Meaningless is a word that comes to my mind. I would much rather read intelligent comments and constructive arguements, and that is what the majority of people here seem to try to do.
Just my opinion, of course.

Probably until Journey deal with the issue and make an official announcement about a new singer...

Thanks for the reply, this makes much sense and I agree 100% with you but my point was why the profane, vulgar responses all the time. I could agree with you more on all the points you have stated about the legacy of journey and such, that Augeri had 0 % contributions too these and their classic catolog

[Monker]

I just ask wgo gave you the power too rule this board??

Two things do it:

Andrew allows it to continue.
His 'fans' prop up and support his behavior.

The same goes for several other people here.

Deano

When did u first notice that SA was lipping? and when did u first bring it up on here? I have only been a member for a short time and missed all the news. Thanks

[Rockindeano]

There is clearly a close bond between Andrew, RND and Jss, and that's fine. It is what it is.

Yeah, when Mac gets here in October, JSS is picking me and him up and we are heading to Home Depot and constructing a patio at Jeffs pad:roll: Then we will lay around and discuss world events...sic

SA was/is a part of Journey's legacy.

How so? What did he do to build Journey? Nothing. He kept it going. If you read back, BT er, you will see I supported him fervently for 5 years until 'Gate. Do your homework first.

Resorting to name calling, excessive obscenities, and degrading remarks is just a sign of immaturity, and again, the source should be considered and taken as such. Meaningless is a word that comes to my mind. I would much rather read intelligent comments and constructive arguements, and that is what the majority of people here seem to try to do.
Just my opinion, of course.

Hey Tard, when you can come in here, and contribute something besides, "positive touches for Mr Awesome" you can lick my filthy ass. So I am vulgar at times..big deal. I also bring a lot of information and discussions.

Ummm, leave me outta this, the only bond to Deano is i laugh at some of his sarcasm & the fact is I am nice/unbiased to about anyone...unless they cross me! Other than that, he is as much a stranger as you are to me.

Now, errm....let's get back to the music!

EXACTLY...which is a major complaint I have about BT. The more time that goes by, the more this place is becoming exactly like BT. The threads are named differently, but it's the same cheerleader crap...They are just cheering for a different camp.

[Monker]

That's not going to change anything HERE. Most people here already know that's going to happen. In fact, I think that announcement will make it WORSE.

[KittyKat]

Too=also
Deano I will not resend an e-mail from several months ago and I know why you didn't respond and it wasn't because you didn't know me since you trusted me enough to confide in me about JSS being the replacement and Augeri was fired before Andrew made the announcement. I didn't open my mouth to a soul but you have to agree they handled it like shit and that may well come back to bite them in the ass. Nothing wrong with wanting the band to continue on of course since they're great but if you honestly stand back and take a look with an unbiased viewpoint then you might actually understand that the way SA was publicly humiliated garned a lot of sympathy from some who wouldn't normally have cared much and then of course the SA fans lash out at you not only because you outted him but then condone the others participation in the farse or dismiss it as minimal when in fact as long as he was doing it they had plenty of time and opportunity to have done something about it but didn't till you went public. Just saying......

[jrnyjetster]

Well if Deano would just tell us WHO told him that Augeri ain't coming back....then we could decide for ourselves whether or not this person is indeed a credible source and then all the suspense and anxiety would finally be over.

Let me ask Deano this: Have you talked to Neal FACE TO FACE since you started your campaign? Have you had personal conversations with anyone within the establishment, besides Jeff?

[Cantbleeveit]

The thing that really made me fall on the floor laughing was when RND said he wants Neal to hire him to work for the band!!!
Maybe you can drive his bus for him Deano. Hmmm, no wait, maybe not, if he decides to check your "track" record. A little risky, at best, huh choo-choo boy??


No disrespect meant to JSS, as I am an admirer and a fan. Just thought the friendship with Andrew extended to RND. My mistake, and glad of it. Association of the closer degree to this type of person could mean big trouble to someone with an image to project. Just my opinion, of course.

[MartyMoffatt]

I just think it's pretty sad.

No, not the fact that this board is home to a foul mouthed, agressive, racist, xenophobic, chauventistic, ego-centric, domineering, insulting, loud and disrespectful person such as Deano, nor the fact that he is allowed to continue posting here. OK, sometimes his sarcasm can be funny, but that doesn't excuse all his other less desirable characteristics (and every one of the above characteristics is exhibited by Deano on a regular basis).

What I find even sadder is the fact that several people on this forum hero worship him and make excuses for his little outbursts and accept without question that it is reasonable for him to insult anybody he comes into contact with.

If Deano could curb some of these outbursts and extreme behaviour I'm sure he might occasionally have something valuable to say. Unfortunately most of his points get lost in obsenities.

Sad.

Hey Mr Picture taker.....Dude, go back and suck ass at BT. I make strong points, and guess what, I am the guy responsible for the NEW Journey, and THAT is a good thing.

QUESTION FOR DEAN OR ANYONE WHO KNOWS THE CORRECT INFO

as i asked before--since u are the authority on this subject--when did SA first start lip-syncing? I'm fairly new here and missed the original posting. I would really like to know when it started. tHANKS in advance for the info.

I've never taken issue with your 'facts', even though they are often contradictory, and thus obviously include some element of BS. My main issue with your posts is with the delivery and attitude to others.

And by the way, you graciously made my point by exhibiting every one of the characteristics I mentioned, all in the space of three sentences.
