Well, up until recently. They were my first concert and gave me so many memorable moments over the years. I have gotten to meet all of them and I feel like much of their music is timeless.
Journey has asked us over the years to trust them and believe in them. They have called their music the soundtrack to our lives, timeless, etc. They said it was all about the fans and the critics never got it. They asked us to invest in them as a band, especially after Perry left.
I think when you have this kind of a connection, it has to run both ways. In this regard, I feel like Journey owes us a statement. I have always said they owe us nothing. This is when I am talking about personnel changes, behind the scenes stuff, etc. But here is a situation where our band is facing pretty serious allegations. It has hit some mainstream media and several long-time fans have asked for a response.
I don’t think it’s fair to suggest that Journey should not respond, while collecting premium ticket dollars none the less. By not responding, they are contributing to the tarnishing of the band I have put so much into. It offends me.

How do you even know that they have paid even a second of attention to some little internet rumour?
wow so it's ok to be pulling the wool over your livelyhoods eyes and try and get away with it without responding at all???This is way bigger then just a few lil so called rummors flying around...If your lively hood was in question ...wouldn't you?Mandi wrote:Frankly, I think Journey should continue to ignore it, just to piss people off who have invested so much time and emotion to the topic. You guys have gone WAY too far and for you to demand this and that from the band is a bit hillarious....Ignoring it all is the PERFECT response to such insanity.
This would have been my response if Monker hadn't so wisely posted it first. I totally agree. To acknowledge every crazy accusation that is flung at them would take all of their time. To ignore all the crazy accusations shows how little they even think of the issue to give it the time of day. Such ignorance as this deserves nothing more than silence. It is the PERFECT response to such insanity.

Many of the people who are making these false accusations just can't seem to get it thru their thick skulls that if Journey respond to their false accusations then it would open the door for everyone who wants to cause problems for the band, or anyone who just wants attention for themselves.
The majority of Celebrities choose NOT to respond to lies that are spread about them and they just go on with their lives.
Most of those who are screaming bloody murder for the band are doing so because they either want to be a thorn in the side of Journey, or that they are trying to call for attention to themselves because they do not have a life or friends.
Most of you who are making these false allegations know damn well that you are either not even a Journey fan, or you at least resent Steve Augeri because he's not Steve Perry!
This is 2006, not 1981.

I think that is one of the most inaccurate comments I have seen to date posted here.

And I have been on other music websites that have forums where people pretend that they are a fan of a band and then they do nothing but rip on that band.

Just because the people who are spreading these rumors may not be talking about Steve Perry all of the time does not mean that they can't have the agenda of getting Augeri kicked out of the band so that Steve Perry can come back to the band, or that they just flat out resent Augeri because he is the guy who took over for Perry.
Or even that they want Deen Castronovo to be the full time lead vocalist in Journey. And yes, there have been people running that agenda as well.
