Like some said to yakov about Fanasylum. Why are you lurking on BT? With your attitude towards it, why even read the posts?
The truth is that BT is about as active as Steve Perry's career...Once in a while something interesting happens, but over all it's non-eventful and pretty boring.
There is another Journey forum that is fairly new and the starting topics are Perry, Perry, Perry and the posters want to know why the Perry fans arn't coming to defend him.
what forum is this?
You few are a bunch of cry babies. You two have been around a lot longer than I have and have been trashing Perry for longer still.
Barb 'trashes' Perry? Where? I'd like to see a quote where you believe she is 'trashing' Perry.
Me? I don't care...not any more then you do about your trash talk about Journey. I have learned that people are going to say whatever they want regardless of what I say or how I act. So, I do as I please and the only person who can order me about is the owner of the forum I am posting to.
Stop giving excuses for why you insult someone who is so well loved and respected by his peers. You don;t know him personally and his peers do. It makes you sound so childish.
It depends on who you believe. There are articles where writers say they will never work with Perry again because he wanted to take written songs, give himself a writing credit for doing NOTHING, and put himself first on the credits. There are tales about Perry acting like a baby and trashing studio equipment. There are tales about Perry's antics on the road.
He's not 'well respected and loved' by ALL of his peers.
You don't know Perry personaly either...you just choose to give credit to one side over another...That choice is made to best support your own biases and desires.
Again & again Monker, the bashing & trashing is ALL DIRECTED at Steve Perry by you. No one is bashing any of other band members of Journey.
No matter what you say bad about Perry, it is NOT going to make the Perry fans stop supporting him OR make the fans stop buying any of his music.
So you say,"There are Tales about Perry acting like a baby and trashing studio equipment."
So what!!! Who cares???!!! Certainly NOT me!!! Tales, tales, tales is ALL they are!!! That means absolutely nothing to me!
Again you keep trashing Perry, and REFUSE to see that no one has said anything negative about the rest of the Journey band members at all.
Show me where I have stated something unkind or negative towards the Journey band members???? Yet you keep making rediculous accusations that negative crap is being said about the Journey band members, when it is NOT true!
There are fans here who support Perry only, and there are fans here who support both, and some fans here who only support the current line up. That is every fan's choice to like & support whatever they want!
Just because a FEW of you here have a problem with Perry for whatever lame reasons does NOT give you all the supreme right to keep bashing Steve Perry!
And I could careless about your articles"where writers say they would never work with Perry again". So what!!! I LOVE Steve Perry's Voice & Music, and will continue to keep being ONE of his many, many fans!!!
Besides I've read articles where other singers have said they enjoyed working with Perry such as Jeff Golub, David Pack and others.
Is this how you spend your every waking moment searching for ways to TRY to tear down Steve Perry???
Monker, you don't know anthing about Steve Perry personally and never worked with him either, so your credibility means nothing here! There is absolutely nothing you could say that is effective enough to make the fans stop supporting Steve Perry!!!
