So we've all seen Bull Durham, right???
Kevin Costner tells all the rookies about life in "The Show" aka the Big Leagues...

So Jeff, how different is it for you touring with a band like Journey compared to your other projects?
I would think that, with Journey being considered the 'Big Leagues', you are probably getting pampered
alittle more than you are used to
I remember reading somewhere (I think your SS Tour Diary) that there were times on the SS tour when you were literally running backstage during solos and breaks to do laundry!?!?!?

I was just wondering how "touring" life has changed for you...
I hope Neal, Jon and the guys are keeping the hazing to a minimum and treating you good...

Or do you always get stuck in a Double-Twin bed room with 4-5 techs?

bumping this up...
Maybe Jeff will answer...
getting ran to the bottom by all the "New Shoes" spam

that and he has to do all the guys laundry....gas up the tour bus, run into the grocery store to get supplies, answer the phone, get up out of his seat every couple minutes to change the television channels because Ross hid the remote, help load and unload the whale, pick out Neals sunglasses before every show and dodge drum sticks from Deen during the show!!! Hell week has been extended through the remainder of this tour!!!!

Screw that! I don't think Jeff is anyone's servant! Think the guy's are probably treating him good. Where would they be without him right now? They sure wouldn't be touring!

keep in mind Jeff used to tour with the BigBoy Yngve!
so he should know the feeling of being with bigger bands than Talisman and Eyes,,, but I am sure he gets a much better treatment from Journey Guys, right Jeff?

I would LOVE to know how that was...

A lot of stories claim that ol' Ying Yang is pretty much a straight-up Dick!
And with Jeff being so young, I wonder if he got 'hazed' or what???
But even Malmsteen wasn't in the 'Bigs' like Journey...
Ying Yang was Triple A
