And yes this place gets is over the top with the fawning....but upstairs sucks as it's a OT Forum when it's not the latest review of the same fucking set list played over and over again...or wait that Journey is now good people and who to fuck cares who they rolled over with the bus to get there.
So what exacty is a fan of the music??? You know when they were the best and had huge crowds that waited in lines to get tickets to the shows?? Where are we to post? What is there really to talk about?
Upstairs it's a constant who is better.....most know it...some don't and never will because they don't think there was a Journey before AP.
Anything else that is actually about the music I believe has been discussed and argued many times and many ways.....I think until there is new music in both camps these two Forums are boring at best and sometimes for me just sad....it makes me realize that the Journey of greatness is long gone!!! and all I have to do is put in a DVD and I can see that (you actually can't go back in time)
So yes Deano we have all lost it in one way or another......I for one have lost the band that I love to listen to and enjoy and I guess there is not much to talk about anyomore as that band has not played together for what 20 some years...for me I will wait to see what Perry puts out...I am sure I will at least like it as I am a fan of all the solo stuff...Journey was my fave but I do like the solo stuff...so I will be happy to have something new to listen to.
Yesterday I listened to Revelation again as I had a long car trip to make and thought why not?? I my honest opinion it's okay and if it was any other band I would say well I would give it a listen now and then but it would not be on my rotation in my CD player. The problem was that after I listened to Revelation I put in Frontiers this is the problem that they have to deal with IMO they are not as good as they were.....then I put in TBF they were better still then they are now.
So here I am one MF frustrated FAN with nothing to talk about!!!

I'm going to have to agree with you...granted I have not been here long, but I have spent several hours reading both forums. The Journey forum is every bit as bad with the fawning posts. Infact.. if fans don't post how great Journey is now, the folks upstairs have a "your not a true fan" tantrum. Frankly, I don't see the difference in supposed "fawning" over Journey vs Arnel vs Perry.
As for me..I'm just not interested in the "new" version of Journey. I have other musical interests to keep me entertained and Journey without Steve is not one of them. I will either wait until Steve has a new project out,or just remember him fondly by..listening to the old Journey stuff,watch my two DVD's or listen to his solo CD's (just like I have already been doing for years). Not a big deal to me.
My thoughts exactly.
