Which member of the band currently has the largest team they need to drag around with them from gig to gig? Anyone know?

Speaking of entourage, when I went to see Journey in '09 in Louisville, I noticed that there was tons of big ass security guards there in front of the stage. Are they Journey's or do they belong to the venue?

Venue, I would think.

Just me and my Guinness. Adele singing quietly in the back round. Yeah, I admit it. I'm reaching.

awesome scenario though.....take the cheese....

This must be a drinking night

Don't know about now, but when I was close to these guys, they had no one "protecting" them. Neal had Aaron bumping around with him during the "hazy" yeas, but no one knows who Neal is. It's Neal Schon, not Neil Diamond. Big difference.

Yeah, definitely In 07 we saw them in Baltimore. We were eating in our hotel and in walked Neal being seated ALONE at the next table. And Baltimore is a pretty rough city. No one but us knew who he was. We had to tell the server who he was. Then watch her walk up to him talking, acting like she knew all along. It was pretty funny how she kissed up once she knew. The general public has no clue who Neal Schon is, let alone what he looks like. Not sure what he'd need a body guard for.

Yes, venue. I know a couple of people that do that. They get all the free shit you can imagine. Cocksuckers.

Deano I don't ever recall you being close to the band? I remember you as a groupie and I have been around the band many years. From the beginning a matter of fact. You must be dreaming? When I read your comment I said OMG you got to be kidding me. Just wanted to set the record straight for everyone.

Looks like Dean was the one lipping all along. How you getting out of this one pal?

It is. Hey Les!

Hi Andrew

This may get good.

Hey fuck you Les. I guess hanging around with your stepson, the lead singer and the shitty bass player wasn't being a little close? Ask your son why he would call me on the phone numerous times. Groupie? Fuck you old man. Not saying I was best friends with these assholes, and they are assholes, but I did share some "inside moments." I guess you were kept out of the loop too about your son leading a band onto stage that wasn't even singing live. Oh how proud you must be!

Yeah Steve, he owned me. You're a fuckin tool.

PS- I never "bragged" about this...just mentioned that I got to see and do stuff that other fans didn't get to, that's all.

Dang...This is getting good. Ding, ding, ding!

No, it's not. I asked Andrew to please delete my account here. This site sucks now. It's a fuckin Journey strokefest, and when that old geriatric fuck Step dad pops his liver spotted grill in here, running his piehole, not knowing anything he is speaking of, everyone assumes I am wrong because well, Les is Neal's daddy. Thanks a bunch Steve. Hey, you missed a spot, a little semen still on your upper lip. This is an embarrassing forum. Nothing gets spoken like it should anymore. And of course, McNeice looking the other way, says, "Hi Les!" Give me a break Andrew.

Four years ago, this place was honest and spoken as such. Now it's Andrew giving hand jobs in the way of ridiculously high reviews, that are fucking laughable. I am hugely disappointed in the way he recognizes and represents Journey here. Eclipse is a fine effort, but he makes it sound like it's the next Abbey Road. What's next, a 105/100 for Night Ranger? Maybe 120/100 for Mr Big? Point is all MR has become is a Fox News for certain bands. It's slanted and biased, with no real dissent allowed. If there is dissent, no matter how intelligent it is presented, it's met with "blah blah blah." The truthful discussion that once thrived here, is no longer. That's why traffic here is way down. I know you don't care about my opinion of you Andrew, but after what these guys did to you, how they treated you, and yet you still deep throat them at every turn. I am not suggesting to hate or keep hating, and forever holding their feet to the fire for faking the music for 2 years, but there are many other things that have transpired and frankly, I am shocked you still take it. Perhaps this should be taken to PM, but I don't care.

This place would be a lot better off without guys like me on here. The reason I want to be deleted is, I don't have the fuckin self discipline to not post especially after 2 12vers.

Again, thanks a bunch Steveo.

EVERYONE speaks their mind here and it's always been that way. By the way, what Steve are you referring to?

Anyway, no one wants to see you go. You're one of the old-timers here and always should be. Let's not pull this "I'm leaving crap" again, OK?

Hey Deano, I'd like to buy you for what you know and sell you for what you think you know.

Crying to Andrew to delete your account? If it's so bad why don't you just... not post?

No, not like they used to. There is way too much cheerlading on one side and also too much hating just for hating sake on the other. It's built in and every post can be prewritten. There is no honest give and take...no "maybe I can learn something from the other side." It's all Journey rocks, Neal is the best, or Pineda is the king.....and also, "He's not Perry, tribute band, etc. Extremes on BOTH sides are ridiculous. The far reaching Pineda worshippers are pathetic, the Schon bow downers are just as bad, and the perry wackos are just laughable. What goes unnoticed and barely exists, is a center located argument. One can't be a centrist here. And frankly, Andrew has tilted this fuckin place where the band gets a nice long blow job and basically free advertising. It never used to be this way.

Anyway, no one wants to see you go. You're one of the old-timers here and always should be. Let's not pull this "I'm leaving crap" again, OK?[/quote]

Dude I know. I did that before and it's embarrassing to be sure. I am not doing this "I'm leaving bullshit, but I do want to be deleted because I already said, I cannot control the urge to post, especially when I read some of the ridiculous shit being said here, that has to be responded to. Remember that fuckwhore Journeyhard? He was writing new lyrics to DSB? Talking about South Detroit? That guy sucked. We ( a few of us), successfully ran his ass off the fucking board. That's a good thing IMO.

I am an asshole, so who cares? I'll promise to do my best and not comment here, for I know absolutely nothing about Journey like Steveo77 does!

Nah, it's ok, I really truly do not know anything. I just made it all up.

Rockindeano wrote:Ask your son why he would call me on the phone numerous times.

Don't know Les. Don't know Neal. But I can back this up. Heard several voice mails.

You have to be kidding it's a strokefest. Go read most of the posts on here lately. It's all about how JSS should be on the album or in the band. It's how a lot of people are posting they don't like the album or the singer is wrong for it or Neal goes on too long and isn't melodic on the album or there's no backing singers or there's not one good song on it or it's not Journey on the album with the style songs and never will be anyway without Perry. Right, real rah-rah on here or that they haven't done a good album since Perry.. And then there are fans who love the album or support the band (me). Though, they're idiots for taking Resonate off the setlist, best song of the album, single-worthy. I consider it very balanced for many different views, definitely not a present-day Journey lovefest.
