New Augeri Interview

[PROPERRY]

I actually agree with you Lori.
I am glad he showed up, as I am sure all of Journey was glad that he showed up. Perry was a big part of Journey's success, everyone knows it. Perry IMO needed to be there.

But, I am curious how OhSherrie and HOTS really felt about it. Because, for the longest time, the two of them kept expressing the belief that Perry would not show up because that would show some sort of acceptance of Journey continuing...

Jrnyman,

I didn't think Perry would go either, but HE sure gave US all one hell of a suprise!!!

I certainly don't believe that because HE came to WOF that meant HE was in support of current Journey. I believe he came because he DERSERVED to be honored for all his accompishments & contributions that he made in Journey & that he came for the FANS as well. I don't believe it had anything to do with him supporting the current line up of Journey.

[PROPERRY]

IMO, Augeri wore white cause he knows how much he looks like Tiny Tim and he wants to protray Tiny in" "Tiptoeing Through The Tulips," the life and times of Tiny Tim. He already has the hair and beady eyes and sings in the same key. Speaking of "filling someones shoes." That pic of him in white with his arms crossed over his heart was Tiny to a T. I hope he gets the part. He's such a sweet guy and so was Tiny.

Yeah, because your man looked so impecable that he was beyond critique, right?

If i didn't know better, I would've thought this dude to be a bloated corpse Deano helped pull from the fetid waters of Biloxi.

That was "extremely tacky" NC, using the flood victime to tear down Perry. Unfortunately though, I've learned to expect these kind of awful comments from you.

And before you go hysterical like you always do & point out that HOTS said something unkind about Augeri, just go back & READ ALL the unkind remarks YOU'VE MADE about Perry, LONG BEFORE HOTS made this comment towards Augeri.

[The_Noble_Cause]

I guess HOTS comparing Augeri to someone who is similarly deceased is somehow not "tacky" ?
Talk about selective judgement.

Unfortunately though, I've learned to expect these kind of awful comments from you.

As I've come to expect absolutely NOTHING of meritable contribution or even meager intelligence from you ever on this forum.

And before you go hysterical like you always do...

So, incontrovertibly proving you to be a gasbag blowhard somehow makes me "hysterical"?

& point out that HOTS said something unkind about Augeri, just go back & READ ALL the unkind remarks YOU'VE MADE about Perry, LONG BEFORE HOTS made this comment towards Augeri.

Lori-you're an idiot ideologue.
I just looked thru all 4 pages of this thread and I hadn't barely said a disparaging word about Perry until I posted that pic. HOTS, on the other hand, had been incessantly dragging down Augeri since her initial post in this thread.
Jesus, can u try to get ur facts straight at least once?

[yak]

So THIS is what the Desperate Gals consider S-E-X-Y???



So what's THAT tell ya'?

[NoMoreTails]

Lori

But Perry does support the current lineup of Journey in so far as he agreed to let them continue in exchange for whatever financial consideration he got in return. So his pocket book took higher priority than his conviction that the "stone" shouldn't be broken or whatever that bs statement was.
So, imo, he supports the current lineup because he allowed them to continue, he just will not acknowledge that or endorse them so that he can play the victim.

[Rockindeano]

Put a mic in front of ANY dude, and he gets chicks... Here are some butt ugly dudes who get chicks.

Steven Tyler- last time I saw a mouth that big, it had a hook in it

Mick Jaegger- Jesus

BluesTraveler dude..Jon somebody..Lost 200 lbs and is still fat

Kevin Cronin- I like the dude, but his masculinity is ???

Black Crows--Worst looking band of all time

Tom Petty- ugliest dude in world

Augeri- he ain't exactly a GQ guy...



Sorry for my "ain't." I am learning a new vocabulary everyday down here.

Ummm, excuse me here, but I don't think any of us knows what kind of give and take went into their negotiations. I also don't think the results that we've seen of them are any indication of how they felt about them.

If he is still being paid by them, why shouldn't he be paid for the music that they're touring on? If it hadn't been for him, the show that the crowds are paying to see wouldn't even exist. Why should he not try to protect the integrity of his life's work by asking them not to use the name Journey("don't crack the stone")? It seems like a pretty natural, human feeling to me.

[OpeningAct]

The flood victims deserve better than that.

Agreed.
Even rotting corpses deserve to be put amongst better company than the offensively venal Stephen Ray Perry.

..........................................................................

The Noble Cause. A unjourney fan at his best.

You have no moral footing to stand on.
You started with the lead singers/deceased people comparisons (Steve Augeri to Tiny Tim analogy).
I just did it back - bigger, better, and none too suprisingly, funnier.

What an inflated opinion you have of yourself NC...It would be funny if not so pathetic...

[The_Noble_Cause]

Why should he not try to protect the integrity of his life's work by asking them not to use the name Journey("don't crack the stone")? It seems like a pretty natural, human feeling to me.

Nomota is correct.
If Perry truly believed that the "stone should not be cracked" then he shouldn't have signed off on the name.
Jon gave him credit for doing that stating,

"he's classy enough not to stand in our way. I have to give him that. He's very classy to stand back and let us move forward and not be pulling lawsuits and what not.
It could be much worse so we have to look at it from the good side of what he's allowing us to do in carrying on."

[The_Noble_Cause]

What an inflated opinion you have of yourself NC...

Hey, at least one is capable of assigning specific personality traits to me (even if it is something as pejorative as "inflated opinion").
That's more than any of us here can say for you.
One minute you're happy.
The next, you're a total prick.
You're all of the behavioral map!


Do the world a favor; go back to the funny farm, lock ur cell, and stay there.

Which oh-so complex word did u get hung up on exactly?

"prick" ?

-Hardly suprising that you wouldn't know what one of those is.

[Soledad?]

You're a callous loser, NC. You spend all day on a Journey board defending them like some rabid animal, then you have the sick audacity to put down the gulf coast flood victims. And don't try to cower behind the, "I'm insutling Perry, not the flood victims" pretext, because it's lame, just like you.

[The_Noble_Cause]

You're a callous loser, NC.

No, I'm not.
I'm a "sick piece of shit", remember?

Oh, and your momma still sucks eggs.

[The_Noble_Cause]

And don't try to cower behind the...

I haven't cowered.
In fact I've bountifully responded (quote by quote) to just about every thing you've thrown at me.
You want to talk about cowering?
You've still yet to answer this...

HOTS likewise invoked the appearance of the dead (ridiculing the characteristics of the late Tiny Tim).
Seems to me that if you were truly such a morally scrupulous man you'd be all over HOTS for invoking the appearance of the deceased, as well.

Quit waxing puritanical for a moment (if that's truly possible) and answer that.

[The_Noble_Cause]

You spend all day on a Journey board defending them like some rabid animal

Hyperbole much?
My combined posting time here takes 20-25 minutes out of my day tops.

[The_Noble_Cause]

then you have the sick audacity to put down the gulf coast flood victims.

Put up or shut up.
I've asked you several times now to explicitly show where I allegedly abased the victims who lost their lives to the storm.
Unless you come up with something soon, I am left with no choice but to interpret your silence as a resounding affirmation of your comment's indefensibility .

[The_Noble_Cause]

because it's lame, just like you.

Not as lame as officiously championing the cause of speaking for the dead.

Who the fuck do you think you are?
- This boards' John Edwards?

Go get a job.

[Rockindeano]

You spend all day on a Journey board defending them like some rabid animal,

You spend all day here putting down the Band. What's the difference?


Also, I still haven't seen you answer TNC's question..He did answer you, quote for quote. Where is your answer..I think you have been owned...

[Soledad?]

I don't need to defend my comments. The proof is in the pudding. NC is a callous ass, end of story. Call me what you want for putting your sacred band down (a once-good band, I might add), but it's pretty disgusting to resort to jokes about bloated flood victims.

And I agree that Perry looks like shit in that picture, just so you know.

You are a sorry excuse..End of story. You STILL can't answer the question..

Soledad is TAKING the piss...

[The_Noble_Cause]

I don't need to defend my comments.

Of course not.
How convenient.

The proof is in the pudding.

What proof?
What pudding?
Where?
You haven't substantiated a thing (and by your own admission, u don't ever intend to).

NC is a callous ass, end of story.

Wow. That's some cold hard empirical evidence if I ever saw it.

Call me what you want for putting your sacred band down (a once-good band, I might add),

You're right, Journey isn't good...they're GREAT!
Saw them on Sept. 3rd and they were amazing (met the band, too -great guys).

but it's pretty disgusting to resort to jokes about bloated flood victims.

Once again...

HOTS likewise invoked the appearance of the dead (ridiculing the characteristics of the late Tiny Tim).
Seems to me that if you were truly such a morally scrupulous man you'd be all over HOTS for invoking the appearance of the deceased, as well.

Quit with the empty puritanical bloviating and answer that.

And I agree that Perry looks like shit in that picture, just so you know.

Did you reach this decision before or after you spritzed ur prick paste all over it?

[Rockindeano]

Owned yet again..

TNC is hitting 1.000 tonight. Better bring it a little better there soleduck..

[NoMoreTails]

Ummm, excuse me here, but I don't think any of us knows what kind of give and take went into their negotiations. . .

If you are implying that he fought but inevitably lost, I agree that might possibly be the case. As majority rules and rightly so, 2/3 or 3/5, which ever...they had every right to continue without him.
But based on all that has been said by all parties, he wouldn't commit and stepped aside, not that it would bother me if they had kicked him out, they'd have every right to do so.

If he is still being paid by them, why shouldn't he be paid for the music that they're touring on? If it hadn't been for him, the show that the crowds are paying to see wouldn't even exist. Why should he not try to protect the integrity of his life's work by asking them not to use the name Journey("don't crack the stone")? It seems like a pretty natural, human feeling to me.

If it hadn't been for him, Jon, Neal, etc....not him alone.
He should be paid royalties on his songwriting, nothing else, in my opinion.
There must have been some prior arrangement that dictated buying him out of his share of the name if he got anything more than that.
I didn't say he shouldn't be concerned about the integrity, just that evidently the money took priority over that concern.

[OpeningAct]

You're a callous loser, NC. You spend all day on a Journey board defending them like some rabid animal, then you have the sick audacity to put down the gulf coast flood victims. And don't try to cower behind the, "I'm insutling Perry, not the flood victims" pretext, because it's lame, just like you.

NC likes to throw his big words out there, twist and turn statements around...face it NC, your statements about the flood victims were tasteless, not funny, as much as you think they may be.
And I AM surprised that Deano is sticking behind you after those cruel, morbid statements, seeing that he is in the midst of it all doing something positive. Think what you will about me. Tear me apart with the whole "meds" thing, becuse 1. What you say has no affect on my life, and 2. We both know you would NEVER say it to my face...

[The_Noble_Cause]

We both know you would NEVER say it to my face...

Now who's the one with the inflated ego?
Besides, why wouldn't I confront u and say it to ur face?
I mean, what exactly is there for me to be afraid of?

You're rendered totally incapacitated by the straight jacket and hanibal lector mask u wear in the ward for most of the day, anyhow.

[Rockindeano]

OA, TNC simply questioned Soledad to respond..about 8,000 times...He can't..it's that simple!

[PROPERRY]

Ummm, excuse me here, but I don't think any of us knows what kind of give and take went into their negotiations. . .

Again, as ohsherrie said, NONE of us fans know any of the details of what they worked out between them in their contracts, so we shouldn't make judgements about something WE absolutely know nothing about.

Lori

[jrnyman28]

What we DO know, is that Perry is being compensated for his involvement in Journey. Also, we DO know that Perry let the band continue. And he did so without a lawsuit. We DO know that Journey and Perry came to a legal and binding agreement which allowed Journey to continue. What we can "assume" from that, is that his "Don't break the stone" convictions were not so strong that Perry stopped Journey from continuing.
