Challenge to Steve Augeri

[McNeil]

We all know that some of the Jrny crew come here and read up, no reason to think that Steve A doesnt drop by now n again

shit, the curiosity factor wld certainly kill me, I would wanna gauge fan reaction, he is surely the same

so Steve, when/if you read this, Im asking you to post up something here, even if its just a "thank you" to those that have sent best wishes, and maybe an update on your situation

Steve..... Steve Steve r u listening, are you out there?

Tell us something, anything

Your fans deserve some kind of "lip" from you, do the right thing

Maybe Im just "pissing In The Wind" here, time will tell

ps Andrew, have you tried to contact the guy?

[Liam]

Maybe Im just "pissing In The Wind" here, time will tell

I think you are. He's gotta be legally bound to NOT say anything.

[McNeil]

Yeah, thats what I think too, frustrating though isnt it?

[Carlitto H@kk]

I hope he takes you up on your offer. But I have a feeling your more likely to have his personal assistant/Manager/Lawyer/Career Advisor, Dean, answer on his behalf...
And I can't wait to hear the answer!

You KNOW that's gonna be some funny shit!!!

There's too much money at stake with this current tour. Why rock the boat at this point? If I were managing the band, I would like to keep negative publicity at a minimum, finish this tour, then make decisions regarding the future. The most important thing they have to do now is find a way to give a satisfactory performance every until the end of the tour.

As much as the diehard fans want to know what the band will do, it doesn't benefit the band to make any decisions that might jeopardize the tour any more than they already have.

We're not asking for the band to tell us if Steve is in or out or if JSS is in or just filling-in...
We just want to know, SINCERELY, how Steve is doing health-wise! SOme of us are kinda happy with the course the band is taking with JSS but we would NEVER wish ill-will towards anyone, especially someone that is a part of the Journey Family. We just want to know if he's getting better, feeling better... ANYTHING!!!

Good luck Neil. I bet either he reads some of the stuff posted or his wife does. And I also bet they won't say a word in response.

[brywool]

I wouldn't answer this lot. They all hate him. The "Lip" comment there's really going to entice him to respond....

Brywool, you will know from my postings, and my Augeri uploads to youtube, that I was a big Augeri fan, "lip" was an unintentional "faux pas" ..I didnt even realise I had written it that way

Apologies Stevie boy if yr reading! I would still like a reply

[Liam]

I wouldn't answer this lot. They all hate him. The "Lip" comment there's really going to entice him to respond....

I don't agree with the choice Journey made to "lip", but I don't hate anyone. Hell, I wasn't happy about it AT ALL. I'll joke about it with a degree of honesty...but hate's never part of it.
I was just going for logic on why he won't respond in ANY way.

[Rockindeano]

O boy, would I ever like to write him a personal sit down invitation....I would love to have him sit across from the table and answer some hard questions...

[SteveForever]

no matter what he said in a public statement some would pick it apart and make it into something different, he's depressed and sad and embarrassed that his body couldn't hold up to the tour, he did whatever it took to pull it off (even lip synching according to many here) but look what we do for our jobs and we don't get paid near as much! If he says something like..."to all my fans, thank you for the support and well-wishes, I hope to see you all again soon" then some of you will say...SEE he's coming back and ....maybe he isn't and what if he says....
thank you to all the Journey fans out there for your support, blah blah.....some will say well he's still calling himself part of the band...he cannot win! If you aren't selling cd's though and you can't tour, then you can't be part of the band anymore. He's going to get paid still and like someone else said he can't say anything because it might jeopardize the tour and obviously its doing fabulous WITHOUT him, they said on this website its going thru December!!! Neal even said in one interview that Perry gets a huge check at the end of this tour too. So, I guess my point is that he's not going to say anything cause he's probably super low right now because he HAD the best job in the world and it ended and he may have not gone willingly....we have to wait for the next Behind the Music...which I wish they would air again cause it was really great! sorry for the long post and type-o's....this is a small laptop and hard to type on...

[NealIsGod]

Boy, there's a bunch of real assholes on this board.

[knox]

Really????

[ArnelRox]

Do it! Maybe he'll respond to u...

[SteveForever]

Boy, there's a bunch of real assholes on this board.

Oh Good, as long as you see it too!

[McNeil]

Boy, there's a bunch of real assholes on this board.

haha there sure is

[NealIsGod]

Boy, there's a bunch of real assholes on this board.

Oh Good, as long as you see it too!

Yeah, the people who continue to harp on this and crucify Augeri relentlessly just for their own sick fun need to take a long, hard look at themselves.

[Rockindeano]

Boy, there's a bunch of real assholes on this board.

Why post this shit? if you are going to post it, name the assholes. I know I am on top of the list, but would love to see the list.

[knox]

I think I just made the list

[NealIsGod]

Boy, there's a bunch of real assholes on this board.

Why post this shit? if you are going to post it, name the assholes. I know I am on top of the list, but would love to see the list.

Sure, as soon as you tell us all your little secrets you love to so coyly mention over and over.

[Rockindeano]

Naw, I will leak what I want, to whom I want.

You and 13, and others are pissed because I brought out 'Gate, and got your boy run.

Deal with it. I have tried to mend fences but fuck it...If you don't want to accept the olive branch, then I will just shove it up your collective asses then. Don't say I didn't try.

[Abitaman]

Naw, I will leak what I want, to whom I want.

You and 13, and others are pissed because I brought out 'Gate, and got your boy run.

Deal with it. I have tried to mend fences but f**k it...If you don't want to accept the olive branch, then I will just shove it up your collective asses then. Don't say I didn't try.

You have tried, when!?! IN YOUR MIND MAYBE
your idea of a peace offering is, saying I didn't do anything wrong, I never do, but I will apologize to scum bags so I can say I did, but I don't really mean it. you can save those "worries". Ohh you already did-ERIC

Or maybe your pulling a Journey, and hoping people will forget about the whole matter you brought up, that it will go away, and you will not have to release one of your so called "I'm Sorry, BUT..."

[r@y]

I am gonna have to agree with the NIGster...

Though I was pissed that I was being ripped off by a lead vocalist who, um, doesn't sing live, I think the crucification should cease...give the guy a break...yeah, he screwed up...but dont we all sometimes..??

Leave him alone, enjoy the current lineup with JSS ( I am trying, really I am..sure I'll get there soon ).

SA aint comin back.

JSS is here to stay.

Perry is NOT goin' back to Journey or vice versa.

And that folks, is that.

Let's learn to live with it.



Cheers

Ray

[NealIsGod]

Thanks, rubiconman, but some people just can't live without the drama.

[knox]

Without drama, this board would become another BT.

Drama draws people in and keeps them.

[r@y]

Thanks, rubiconman, but some people just can't live without the drama.

Yeah, I know...

But that's the thing about passion....when it goes beyond a certain line, it can get....I dunno...crazy...?

Passion that goes out of control are what, in my opinion, creates those psycho's in this world who hide in caves, commit genocide, soccer fans...

Oh shit....I see Dean coming....

[Rockindeano]

I need time to collect my thoughts..I am seething right now..Trust me, I will respond.
