Sorry I don't agree. I have several boots w/Rolie if u would like to compare.

Again I disagree. I think Jeff's early boots are better than this. But that's my opinion.
Augeri was definitely having problems, Duh. Tell us something that hasn't been talked about every day for the last year. Doesn't mean he sucks and is shit and is a fool. Means he was having voice issues.
I didn't say he is a fool. I didn't say he's shit. However, I do think he sux & I do think Butterfly is a shitty song. Again, my opinion.
Let it go.
I hadn't heard this boot before. I was reacting to it listening for the 1st time. I have never heard him sound this bad. How is that me not letting it go?
"Listen to Open Arms" from the same show-Flawless by the way.
Again, I disagree. It is anything but flawless to me.
"Lights" also was great.
Sorry, but I thought that was terrible too. But again, u & I have different opinions on this. That's ok. We're individuals.
but you take it so personal and just spew this garbage like it hurts you personally.
I was reacting to what I heard & yes, it did hurt me personally. It hurt my ears.
The crowd booed because they said they were playing new stuff. Not because of his performance or Butterfly.
Did I say they booed b/c of his performance on Butterfly?
Maybe it was because they spent the first hour listening to the obscure stuff from the pre-Perry albums with dopey lyrics about volcanoes, etc...?
FWIW, I like a lot of that early suff. But again, u & I have different opinions.
just because a singer is having problems doesn't mean that they once weren't great and that the suckiness blows their previous contributions away. When I first heard JSS with Journey. I thought he sucked with a capital S. But I'm still giving him a chance because I hear improvement every time I hear him. I think he'll be fine. With Augeri, I heard him for years where he was great. Now, he's not. Doesn't mean he's shit. Same goes for Perry.
So what ur saying is people should not post their opinions? Sheesh why not? This is a forum for discussion is it not? Are we all supposed to agree w/everything the band does & say it's great? I believe there's an official Journey fourum that is pretty much like that. U might feel more comfortable there. Here, we tend to say what we think. Sorry if that's not right for u.
