Show Support For Steve Augeri

[NealIsGod]

Unfortunately, most people know that 'Tapegate', as you call it, is a fictional story made up by a delusional fan. If you believe it, that's cool. I can't change your mind.

Mmm....I wouldn't exactly describe that situation as you have just done. And for the record, it was more than just 1 delusional fan that was talking.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, eh, Andrew?

two delusional fans on MR, fuck! I'm shocked at that revelation

[lights1961]

Um... there wouldn't have been 8 years of new Journey music and countless TOURS--- if Augeri did not come aboard... Jrny would still be silent 1986-2006 and beyond.. So I think he deserves OUR: 1. support 2 our respect and 3 admiration...for filling in HUGE SHOES of the only MR Perry.... If Steve does not return to Journey, I hope sucess will follow, in whatever is next...

Maybe they're enjoying keeping everyone waiting though.

I'm ASSUMING that's one thing any member of Journey would skate around. Just call it a hunch about self-preservation.

They're not keeping me waiting CG, I don't need to hear anything about it from the band...it's finished as far as I'm concerned.

Here, here! Well said Andrew.

Rich,
You are free to believe what you want- as am I. Fictional? Not in my opinion, and not the opinion of many. Tread lightly as you come here to post and recognize your claims of delusion can come back to bite you.

Rich is not open to any idea that is not his. He has never admitted being wrong.

and what does he do with all that stored up data he gets from his H2H threads? hmmmm wait better not even go there...

[Liam]

This ain't "somewhere else" where you can't SAY somebody's wrong.

[Citygirl]

I know it's finished. That doesn't mean I don't still think they should say something though.

Maybe the real story is that Avatar and Perry put him under a van with all these traffic cones...

[Carlitto H@kk]

God, I hate these threads here just as much as 'there'...

But I will submit a pic for Rich to use in his celebration of Mr Augeri...



Make sure you post a Hotline number!

I'm sure someone has seen this guy and will call in a report

[Jeremey]

Everyone always seems to be rational and well behaved until the Tapegate thing is mentioned. Every time I hear someone say it's "fictional" or made up by some crazy fan, I just get this total image of an ostrich with its head in the sand. Why is it so hard to accept that this happened? Short of Augeri saying that the band did do this, what would it take to make the naysayers accept that this actually transpired?

[styxman]

Carlitto, you looking in milk cartons for him now, fuck they must make them kinda big in the states

try looking in the Grade B-Pastitsbest-wigglenized cartons...good luck

[froy]

Froy..Styx have improved ten fold with the new lineup, come on don't be sad be happy

Yea that Fields of Brave tune is being played on the radio all the time .

Yeah, if it's not on the radio, it's crap. Everything on the radio is the greatest!

[/quote]

When a claim is made that the band is ten times better you can point to non radio play as proof of this claim being ridiculous.
You are right when you say if its not on the radio its a great song or the artist is good
Take Easy To Fall the best JRNY song ever and it was never on the radio
Take Happy To Give same story
BUT when a band has been on the radio for 30 years and they dump there leader you can pretty much write off any radio exposure,
As far as JRNY they will never see radio again with new music
They will also never see the RR Hall Of Fame unless Steve Perry comes back.

Yes, Easy to Fall is such a great song! And if Journey doesn't make the R&R HOF, then they suck! Everything they will have accomplished will mean nothing! Thanks God you are here to teach us, froy.

[The Ghost Rider]

what would it take to make the naysayers accept that this actually transpired?

The TRUTH from the band would have been nice.

Radio Play means NOTHING to the average fan these days. With the internet and Satellite Radio companies, FM radio is useless.

That was SARCASM! I guess you think Paris and Lohan are legitimate superstars.

Take Easy To Fall the best JRNY song ever and it was never on the radio

I agree that these 2 songs are good (I wouldn't rank them as 'greatest, JMO) but the sad state of radio in was the reason they were never played.

BUT when a band has been on the radio for 30 years and they dump there leader you can pretty much write off any radio exposure,

So Perry was thier "Leader" or is it more truthful that Perry became the "Self-Proclaimed and Self Appointed Dictator" that almost railroaded this band straight into oblivion? And as for 30 years, tie in all the breaks and non-touring/recording, Perry really only gave you about 10 solid years, at best. Was he an incredible showman, even when his voice was in decline? ABSOLUTELY. Was he the sole reason for Journey's success? No. If you can't see that Schon, Rolie and Cain played MAJOR roles in Journey's success then you are an idiot. Perry had the voice but most of the music and lyrics came from elsewhere. There is a buzz right now around this band and, believe it or not, I think things are coming around full circle, i.e. AOR-style/80s Rock is becoming "Cool" and "Popular" again. This band has a HUGE chance to get on the radio again if they play thier cards right.

They will also never see the RR Hall Of Fame unless Steve Perry comes back.

Who really cares???

LMFAO... This is the picture of the day

[Jeremey]

In what alternate reality would that actually take place? The band will never directly address what happened, and frankly, they have no need to nor any responsibility to. I admit that when these allegations were buzzing around and Augeri was faced with doing the first few shows of the tour without assistance, I felt like it was necessary for the band to say something - But only by the necessity of continuing the tour with Augeri. It was ridiculous for Augeri to be on stage every night unable to perform and NOT address that something was going on. I was PILLORIED for even suggesting that Augeri had no business sacrificing himself like that. But when Augeri was replaced mid-tour, it pretty much took the wind out of the sails of the entire "scandal" and made any need to address it pretty much a moot point.

Support Steve Augeri.

Looking for people to donate their Steve Augeri pics for display on JRNY'swebsite. In Steve's honor, I'd like to dedicate an entire page to him and his fans.

Personal photos (you and Steve), as well as concert photos are welcome. I'll also post any personal messages you might have for him. Hopefully either he or Lydia will see the pics and messages and know that we are all still rooting for him and his recovery.

There is also a Guest Book will on the page where you can enter your thoughts about and messages to Steve.

Whatever your position on who should be Journey's Lead Vocalist of the future, I believe most of us still support Steve and appreciate what he did to help keep the Journey alive for the past 8 years. Everyone is welcome to post to the GuestBook (no speculation on Steve's position with Journey in the future) and submit pics, if they so wish.

Thanks for your support and you can email all pic donations with your authorization to post them, to EclipticJourney@yahoo.com

http://jrnyradio.tripod.com/

I also invite you all to the new JRNY Forums.

"We are the world....we are the children".... Yeah, we know Rich...There is no "official" word from Journey's "official" website about the "chronic throat infection" of Steve Augeri. It's bad enough that you regurgitate these same mindless lines over and over again over at BT. Do you really have to drag the same shit over here? Don't get me wrong...I certainly wish Augeri no ill will. I don't think Augeri is a bad guy and he certainly didn't murder anyone. That said, how many mindless postings do we need about "Let's all get behind Steve Augeri" or "Let's get it up for Steve's ass in his leather pants"?

One of the many great things about this website is the Augeri "wiggle" threads don't seem to exist over here. My fear is that many of the BT fans are realizing that BT isn't the site to be hanging out on for any official news from Journey. This site ALWAYS has the information first and the more that becomes public knowledge, the more susceptible we're going to be to Augeri's cheerleaders!

p.s. How the hell did Dean ever manage to stay out of this thread?? Andrew must have put a "gag order" on the guy!
