I am also a fan of JDoubleS...the man can definitely rock.
Unfortunately, the comparisons will never end no matter who the lead singer is.
Journey On and peace to all.

Ya think so? I am fabricating an all out, top notch, hard core abuse post directed at the Loons. I know Andrew is leaving to come here in a few days, and he can't moderate from 37,000 feet, so I outsmarted that backwoods country fuckI plan on posting this masterpiece as soon as the Quantas 747 takes off.

Why wasn't Augeri a "tribute", YoungJRNYfan?
For me, it really depends on what you believe by your definition of a "TRIBUTE BAND" You could also say that about Perry as a tribute, as he replaced Robert Fleischman. Although Fleischman was the original,
Ahem,YoungJRNYfan, you better re-read your Journey history. Gregg Rolie was their first lead singer.
You're right, Rolie was the FIRST lead singer. But as a BAND, Fleischman should really take part in making Journey's hits. When I say original, I mean Journey's TAKE OFF. Wheel in the sky was not one of Perry's hits for the band, Fleischman actualy was apart of that, passing the torch to Perry for that matter. Perry just took and ran with it, and the rest is history. haha.
Have you heard any boots with Fleischman singing? If you had heard those, you might come to the conclusion that Fleischman might of not been the right singer for the band.

What will you guys do if he does come back though? Will you really commit suicide? I think you will. I'm in a win win because as long as Neal Schon is around there will be a Journey. But, if Soto doesn't get the gig, good bye board

So what you gonna do, beat me upYou guys are so queer it's not evem funny lmao. My point is, it's not even Jeff anyway, and if it is, why would he waste his time to think and post to what I have to think anyway? Why would he care? Don't get me wrong Jeff, you're talented which I said many many times, just not for Journey. And if people are pissed at Augeri for using tapes, then shouldn't they be pissed at Neal, and Cain too, since they run this joint. Not one time in the 2001 DVD you see Castranova sing a note? No, because Jeff can't handle some songs, DuRRrrr

We're queer? You are the one banking Augeris future on the "Official Statement." THAT is queer.My point is, it's not even Jeff anyway,
Um, yes it is. Ask the Board moderator.and if it is, why would he waste his time to think and post to what I have to think anyway?
Because the guy is a standup guy who DOES care.Don't get me wrong Jeff, you're talented which I said many many times, just not for Journey.
Don't answer Jeff, let me handle this ass clown. Dude, go suck off Augeri, lord knows he has lots and lots of time now.And if people are pissed at Augeri for using tapes, then shouldn't they be pissed at Neal, and Cain too, since they run this joint.
That has some merit, but Neal and Jon weren't the weak links. Thus they get a pass.Not one time in the 2001 DVD you see Castranova sing a note? No, because Jeff can't handle some songs, DuRRrrr
You aren't too bright are you? Do you know that on the 2001 DVD, Augeri wasn't live either. He had no usable live sound to use. His songs were all re done in studio.
You can go now, asswipe.

Why do I post? Cuz I can, same as you. It's fun interacting, just like you are.
Not right for Journey, sure you have your opinion on this but bottom line they brought me in to do this, not you....does that make them wrong for having me? I think they have an idea on what's right for them, no?
Deen singing...um, there was a reason he started singing in the 1st place, fell into a routine of actually enjoying doing it as did the fans, now it is a staple of Journey shows, if he were to stop now, others would be crying foul. Try the few shows where DC was down & out & I had to sing the entire set...not a problem dude/dudette, it's only an 80 minute show, my solo shows are 2 hours 15 minutes, check out the Queen DVD I did where I sang 40+ songs.
Anymore debates? I'm down
