Hello there everybody. My name is Richard and I’m a long time Journey fan, since 1980 for those who really want to know. I like many people have been a long time lurker to these boards and I’m just now braving the waters here, as this can be an intimidating place to post.

A little bit about me:
Married
Retired
Gamer (CoH/CoV)
Computer Geek (without the geek vibe according to my wife)
Animal Lover
Football Fan (American sorry Andrew)
Love to travel
Bengals Fan :shock:

Fist Concert was Journey in 83’ supporting the Frontiers Album, in Cincinnati, OH
Last Concert was Journey in 05’ at the Fraze Pavilion in Dayton, OH
Next Concert will be 9-7-08 at Reverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, OH

How I feel about the members of Journey past and present:

Steve Perry his voice is he reason I’m a fan of Journey
Neal Schon loved his Late Nite CD (still listen to it)
Jonathan Cain love the way he writes songs that can touch the soul
Deen Castronovo the guy just punishes the drums and a great singer as well
Steve Augeri really nice guy who kept the Journey Going
Arnel Pineda this guy is just a great singer and he has the strength of voice to carry the songs both old and new
Ross Valory is just a solid funny guy who gives his all to his music
Steve Smith is the reason I want to play the drums, coordination is why I can’t
Greg Rolie just wow, great singer, writer, piano player and so much more

I will start jumping into threads soon so hopefully we will see more of each other.

Until Then,

Peace

I believe Hamilton is in southern Ohio?

However, I am a diehard Browns fan.

What? No mention of JSS? :shock:

Not off to a good start. Just kidding. :lol:

Welcome to the board!

What? No mention of JSS? Not off to a good start. Just kidding. Welcome to the board!

In all honesty I like the music that I have heard from JSS however, I have not actually heard a quality recording or seen JSS with Journey so that is the reason I did not mention his name. I know there are boots of JSS with Journey on YouTube, but most don't do him justice. I however can tell that he had the crowd eating out of his hand.

One final reason I did not mention him here is that I felt that the way his "firing" was handled was crass and immature and they same can be said of the way SA was dealt with as well. I did not want my first post to come off as holier than thou.

Welcome fellow Ohioan

The OH is pretty well represented 'round here. Got cousins down in Mason and some friends as well, and my dad grew up in Springfield and a Bengals fan so if they aren't playing the Browns I root for em.
