It’s a day that goes down in infamy.
Jonathan Cain built up the nerve and rang Steve Perry in his creepy Hollywood Hills Mansion to tell him the band wanted to make a change. Steve Perry stopped his rocking chair, wiped the dust from his shoulders and ceased manually ejaculating his tabby cat, Figaro, long enough to let the message sink in.
This has been chronicled in both film (Behind the Music) and print (various articles).

Now, as a new chapter of the Journey saga unfolds in our midst, certain vital components are missing.
Principally, who called Steve Augeri to tell him that his chronic throat condition might as well be switched to fatal?

8 years ago good guy Steve Augeri had won the job of a lifetime and hitched his wagon to a dream.
Unbeknownst to him, the band was increasingly feeling that they had just hitched their wagon to a loser.

didn't like th other choices so I chose Jon Cain!

Gotta say Jon, he is after all the famous hatchet man.

*wipes tears of laughter*

omg.... "creepy mansion"... "rocking chair" ... "wiping dust"... *wipes more tears* ... FIGARO!!

That is the funniest shit I've read all week.

Much as I like the idea off JSS doing the Nelson bit (mostly because that Nelson "Ha ha" is hilarious), I too voted for Jon.

This is kind of a hurtful thread. I, (like Mr. Augeri), am vocally challenged. The insensitivity brought out in posts like this is offensive to me and others who can't sing.

Why can't you take into consideration the feelings of others before posting something only designed to make someone feel bad about themselves? It saddens me that we have to retain such a negative tone here.

Also, TNC, your avatar may be found offensive to those who have difficulties maintaining a healthy weight. A big, juicy hamburger is merely a constant reminder to some of something they can not have and might be deemed offensive or even hurtful. I would suggest an avatar that has something to do with Journey, which is why we are all here in the first place - to talk about the music we love.

Just trying to help. Peace.

Probably Jon.

OMG FauxAR, you're making sap ooze out of my monitor.

I think Perry did it.

I got tears running down my face with laughter!! especially AR's response.. those G rated crappy posts have gotta STOP MAN your killing us here!! TNC... that is the post of the MONTH..... maybe the year---and yes, you can even make fun of the GOP today I dont care......

Rick

I would say, when augeri signs on the dotted line
and says that he's out

ok.....the butler did it with the candlestick in the billard room.

i would need a funny picture to understand the question being asked..
.......voted for jeff doing the callin. .....

He shit canned himself in a sense. The band made a mistake making him a full partner to begin with. Say what you want about Kiss, but any new members after the original 4 were put on contracts. They could be hired or fired at a whim.

Good business, and I'm shocked sometimes when I see what is going on here. I know the Kiss organization pretty well, and this shit would never have happened. Greed is good. LOL

Dude, I have no idea why, but the PICTURE that this brings to mind is bringing tears to my eyes because I'm laughing so hard!!!

Okay, I see that your tongue is firmly planted in your cheek!

This whole thread is TOO funny! We will probaby know the answer, but the speculation (in this case) is hilarious!! Thanks for the LOL!

OMG.....AR, your fucking killing me man!!..........

Well, I was kidding but hoping it was somewhat funny to some. Thanks!

The only thing I can assume is making Steve a full-fledged member was an attempt to level the playing field.
Remember, they had just overthrown one overbearing dictator (Perry), so they were possibly trying to revert to being a band.
That, or they are just nowhere near as business savvy as Gene Simmon's and his souless merchandising empire.
Whereas Journeyswag sells cheap trinkets like incense and chocolate records, KISS is selling coffins, pinball machines and prophylactics.

I remember once Herbie Herbert made the comment something along the lines of "those guys couldn't manage a hot dog stand." Reckon he was on to something there?

From what I have heard and read about Neal and his ex wives, he needs to learn how to manage his "hot dog', and he wouldn't be in so much financial problems!-ERIC
