Allegedly Neal Schon was either reading or posting here under an alias. Whether that's true or not, if you are........

How does it feel to know that you fucked up royally? How does it feel to have most of your fanbase actually HATE you?

Just curious. Thanks for your time. Tell Frig I said "hi".

Speaking of Prince, maybe the douche twins could hire him as singer. Probably one of the most musically creative fuckers of the last twenty years. The again he's a hell of a guitar player as well, might scare the dwarf.

Didn't Prince just release some new music?

Replace the dwarf with a creative dwarf? Not a bad idea........

The thing is, most of the fan base doesn't even know what the Hell happened.

Look, I was in a position last year when I had some pretty good access to Neal and the band, and I have to tell you, it was fucking great. Neal is the coolest guy on the planet, when he is on your side and vice versa, and it would kill me to see people bash him for the sake of bashing him. I was able to things with him and two other band members that few have been able to do, and I will always remember that. However, I must say that it has all been tarnished because of the way Jeff was treated and how it played out.

Honestly, I do not think there would have been a problem at all, had Neal just called Jeff and spoke his mind, whatever the reason, we would still rally around Journey and I know Jeff would be ok with that, had they just told him. Hell, I had told Neal, under the LocknLoad alias, in fact begged him, to make the call dude, for I personally don't think it's too late to repair the ship.

Someone the other day, forgive my forgetfulness, said the reason most of us here are bitter, is the fact that they have met Jeff and have seen what a quality human being he is, and that is the reason for the disdain. I second that fully.

Sorry for the rant, but I felt compelled to chime in. For those of you who blame me for this Board's downfall or even the downfall of Journey, I gotta tell you, it's amusing to think that a guy with some bootlegs and a memorized ear for a certain DVD release, was able to affect a major change in a once great band. Well, I also find it funny that the very same people today who despise me, were sending me "Go Dean" or "Trash em Deano" emails once TG was in category 5 mode. I say fuck you to all those Perry obsessed Loons who are so centre minded that they can't see their own shadows.

PS- I personally think calling Neal dwarf names is a bit childish. That dude can flatout play....He is a musical genius. Do you folks know Schon can't even read music? My point is, like Carol said, question his character, but not his talents. Now Friga, she is a different book. Take a piss all over her if you want.

Jesus Christ this forum has really lost it's luster when guys like Deano and Saint John are both calmer, more respectful and dare I say backpeddling a tad from what were once some of the best tirades I have ever witnessed. Like so many others, maybe it's time I go back to just lurking.

Don't despair Chiefy...I have a HUGE tirade building, but Andrew has asked for calm this weekend. I am all about appeasing that cool motherfucker.

I look forward to the tirade you got coming. That alone does not change my recent feelings about the loss of luster or spark that was once here. There isn't anyone or anything from Journey or the fandom remotely fun to beat on. No newbies trying to rehash old wounds needing a verbal beating, no idiots like Manarocks, that Venezuelan guy, Reardon, or any of them left. It's actually kind of boring rehashing the same old I hate the GOP or I hate the Dems shit day in and day out. I need a dust up every now and again to keep me motivated and they just aren't happening anymore.

I just got politely slapped from another member for calling a "Negative Only" poster
and asshole...............
I say in ten years time it will be an offence to look someone in the eyes and we'll all
be walking around sporting men in black shades.

Hey Moon beam ....

I did not politely slap you .... that was not my intent at all ....... I was kidding and trying to keep the thread in the good humour in which it was intended, without it becoming just one more fucking bitch-slap fest........ and most days, that is not easy around here.

Oh you wish!!!

Why is it men get so excited over the thought of women fighting - especially in various substances such as
mud or jello or beer???

Sorry to disappoint - guess it's back to TIVO!!!

Cat

If AR were here, he'd fan the flames of a good cat fight. I find that disgusting though and am happy you both found common ground.

It's the thought of two females coming in contact with, in any way shape or form
on each others skin that ignights em...at least that is how I understand it.
Drives em madly, ahhhhh yet another tool to toil em with.

Ok, back into my coffin. Not trying to give anyone any grief. Guess I just don't mesh here anymore. No biggie.

Delete me guys.

Deano, respectfully, I think Neal's character is really what everything is born out of. Fuck man...as a guitarist, I worship the man...he's gifted beyond anything I could ever dream of becoming as a guitarist. However, it's hard for me seperate that these days, when he literally fucks up everything he gets involved in. I've seen him be an utter douchebag and I've seen him be utterly cool to fans. I'm sure you have as well, more so than most (including myself) over the past 4 years.

This is very well said. If I made add fans from this board invested thier time and $$ into this band last year once JSS jumped in. The people on this board were excited over the band as the reviews kept pouring in, we all waited for Andrews big Journey feature,and we invested more of our time..or should I say Precious Time. When you mess with peoples invested time I think that really cuts deep. We as fans were lead in one direction and next think you now we were all blindsided ( JSS included). We all thought the bans was going in one direction and next thing you know its going the other way. Which way its going know we don't know !!

actually, Jonathan is a very gifted performer and song writer, being degreed as such from a music conservatory. Chicago I think? not my style, however, but that doesn't diminish his level of talent. He brought Journey into the pop forum and I have never quite come on board with that. OPEN ARMS---uh, no. miles and miles away from Kohutek. I was hoping beyond hope that Jeff could take Journey back to where it belongs--rockin hard. That is no secret, I'm sure you all know that about me.

again, JMHO.
