I wonder how long until Journey's official website updates the pictures to replace Augeri with Soto? I understand they have to play the game of "We are waiting to see if he recovers", with all the people saying they can't wait for him to heal and come back.
Those of us with the opinion that Soto is the man now feel pretty strongly about it. It will be interesting to see when he is officially announced Journey's new singer, not just a fill in.

Well the site is built in frames and Steve's picture is in the top frame that is the same frame showing for all pages of the site. It doesn't change page by page within the site. So, changing out the picture would be a big deal and would be a statement that Steve has been replaced for good.

You seem to know an awful lot about how that website is constructed to have been so unaware that Augeri had been replaced and so new to posting on message forums.

Sure, they could add a picture -- but it would then show up on every page of the site -- not just the tour page -- because every page uses the top frame.
I have been a web developer for the last 8 years. In another thread, I made some comments to tragchk about graphics not showing up on her band's website. This is what I do for a living. I hope I can tell how a site is constructed easily. Anyone who knows a little bit about developing sites would know that site is in frames.
I'm not new to posting on message forums at all and I didn't say I was. I'm new to *this* forum. I usually don't post much on band forums. And I'm surprised I've posted a lot today here. I was feeling sort of welcome here up until a few minutes ago.

Agreed. But it would then show up on every page of the site because there is only one top frame with the pictures in it.
Now, they could really easily put some announcement at the top of the Tour Dates page that says "Jeff Scott Sote is replacing Steve Augeri as lead singer" and perhaps a picture of him there. I'm trying to think who did this before .. it wasn't for the lead singer .. but someone I saw had another artist sitting in on drums or something for 2 nights while whoever was normally in that spot for that tour was fulfilling other engagements -- I think it might have been Kenny Loggins -- and it was one of the guys playing with him that had other engagements for 2 nights. Anyway, they had a little blurb on the tour page with the "fill-in" person's photo and a link to his website bio page.

No, actually, I didn't get my "panties in a twist" about changing the site at all. I merely explained why JSS's picture couldn't be added to *just* the tour page (as someone suggested) without it changing the pictures on ALL the pages. Read what I wrote again and you will see that.
Exactly so why try there luck again and and belittle the journey name sake! The 2 groups are like apples and oranges!!You can't really compare them so why make journey into it! Thats not there sound thats soul sirkus sound,all the original fans love the dirty dozen and perry era stuff thats an in general statement so the die hard fans no need to get up on your soap boxes lol...whocares wrote:if Neal wanted SS to go on, he could have.

Oh? And where exactly has that been officially announced? Because nothing I've heard from the Journey camp makes that clear. In fact, the official Journey site says: "Jeff Scott Soto, who has previously performed with Journey guitarist Neal Schon, will assume the band’s lead singer duties starting with the July 7th show in Bristow, VA. Steve Augeri’s condition will be closely monitored by his physician to determine when he may be able to rejoin the tour." So, according to the official announcement, JSS is just assuming the role until Steve can return. That is the only official word out there. Now would it make sense for them to contradict themselves by replacing Steve's information and photo on the site with Jeff's?
And I'm the one with the agenda? Hmm.
