You know what? This whole thread isn't about any ILAA thing. It is soley about people being pissed off because two band members went to one party given by people here at MR. And now said people are pissed off because the band didn't attend their pre-show party.

The members do what they want to do, and that is what they decided on..........


Now.............

GET OVER IT !!

[Monker]

you should be pissed at the band members, not the forum members here then. Go rattle off a few emails telling the boys how you feel for being slighted. It'll probably go over as well with them as it will here.

...and that is EXACTLY the point she is making - they don't care.

I have a better idea: STOP READING THE POSTS IN THIS THREAD IF THEY ANNOY YOU!

[Monker]

Perfect example is that some Journey fans I know joined Def's fan club and bought 2nd and 3rd row seats for face value threough Def's pre sale. That to me shows alot more appreciation than showing up at any pre-show or private party.

That is exactly why I was pissed about ILAA when it was first announced. I had third row seats for $50/ticket for Main Event...which was awesome. That will NEVER happen again at a Journey concert, as long as they do ILAA.

[Cheri]

I purchased ILAA tickets for the two shows I went to in St Louis and Little Rock. The band showed up in STL but not LR, so that's 50% from my perspective. I do know they showed up to more shows than not. I didn't buy ILAA with the intentions of meeting anyone; I wanted the seats! (and enjoyed the beverages) Once your've tasted front row you will never want to go back. I don't care to meet anyone because of what they do and don't care for an autograph unless they are signing a check with my name on it!

We stayed at the Peabody in Little Rock where Def Leppard were staying (even same floor) but I have no photos or autographs. I didn't hunt them down just to look like a fool. Journey stayed at the Wynham down the road, I didn't march my happy ass down there to meet them, either. As a matter of fact, I didn't purchase tickets to Memphis because I was feeling a little like a psycho stalker. They'd think I was a freak showing up to all these shows, at least I would if the roles were reversed.

Rick Springfield is coming to Cape Girardeau, MO, where I live, for a benefit for a little girl with brain stem cancer (see front page MR.com a few weeks ago). I purchased premium tickets to see him as well. Not that I really care to meet Rick Springfield but I've grown acustomed to the front row. These seats do gaurantee I will meet Rick, however, I don't want to meet anyone under the pretenses of being 'a fan' unless they wanted to meet me also. It would only be an ackward situation; "Hi, um, I'm a fan.....you rock". I would rather have more interaction; sit down, drink a beer, and shoot the shit. (Although, I do have other intentions for seeing Rick; I used to work for the Oncologist treating the little girl and my concert going friend is her nurse for chemo treatments.)

My point is that I would much rather meet Journey (or anyone) at a party like what happened in Baltimore than in a staged M&G.

Wait a minute, Monker. So, your point is that you simply do NOT like the way ILAA is HANDLING THE SITUATION?

Oh, I thought it was because you are really jealous of everyone who went to AR's house for the party...

Get a freaking clue. They are a BAND. They are not ur buddies. They put on a show, u pay to see it. That is it. This is their job. U get entertained. They are not here to care how u feel or how u don't.

Interesting MCC620 that u post a million times to gripe but when there is an interesting discussion going on here that isn't full of whining, u have nothing to say. I am really sorry ur life is so miserable. Go to therapy or get a hobby.

I got second row regular price ticket last year. This year I got 4th row regular price. It still happens.

[Calbear94]

This thread is likely to be closed and by every right, it should be.
AR's succesful clambake obviously evoked traumatic memories for Monker.
It took him back to the days of being a cystic acne scarred loner eating alone in his High School lunch room, shunned from all social gatherings.

It's statements like these that only serve to cement your status as forum bully.

[fred_journeyman]

Exactly! Monker your just being a moron, Fred , are you his interpeter or what?

I'm doing nothing different than others who constantly come to someone else's aid on this forum when someone says something they don't like or if they attack someone. It's no different. I'm agreeing with him (like you agreed with CRL).

Not sure why that bothers you. Also not sure why the people who are annoyed at this thread continually come back into it and post something which brings it back up to the top?

[Clasicrockldy]

So, now we come to this latest party with JSS and Ross. I HIGHLY doubt that these people bought a ILAA pass, LOL - too funny. It seems for whatever reason, this party was just a bit more irresistable then the others on the tour that they passed on. Maybe it was the people involved, maybe it was the timing, maybe it was the location. Who cares what it was?

The bottom line is: If I had bought an ILAA pass, I'd be pissed. If I had put together an after show party, I'd be pissed. Not out of 'jealousy', or envy, or whatever...but because this band ignores the fans who have over and over again showed the love and have put out HUNDREDS of dollars per tour on passes, or thrown put together the same type of parties in their honor. Instead they spend their time with those who continously bash, insult, threaten, wished they would die, etc...their actions simply adds injury to the insults.

It's throwing salt in a wound...and it makes it obvious that this band has very little love to give back to their fans. They put little or no effort in it when it counts.

Fred,

This whole post isn't all about ILAA. Get your head out of the sand and re-read what Monker said. It DOES all come down to that a few members went to a party thrown by MR members, as a way of meeting each other. The fact that JSS and Ross decided to go was just that, they decided to go. The party thrown would of gone off without a hitch if JSS or Ross didn't show up. It was a fucking party for god's sake.

And on the other side, there was a pre-party being thrown at the Hard Rock by BT'ers, which one of them said an invite was posted to the band members to attend. They CHOSE not to attend, for whatever reasons they had. And said party people are now pissed off because none of the band members showed at their party.

I will say this once again. It isn't all about ILAA, Fred.

Now all of you who are kvetching still.............................

No I have nothing to say in the booze and sex thread because I'm not inclined to find that childish stuff amusing. And where exactly are the other intersting discussions?

YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN. I SAID THEY DID NOT NEED AN INVITATION TO ATTEND THE HARD ROCK PARTY BECAUSE IT WAS ON THEIR OFFICIAL DIXIE HIGHWWAY SITE. AGAIN YOU TWISTED THE COMMENT TO BE ABOUT SOUR GRAPES. HOW ABOUT YOU GO INTO YOUR SEX AND BOOZE THREAD AND GET THE FUCK OVER IT.

[fred_journeyman]

I thought u left this forum? Couldn't stay away could ya?

I'm not sure what that comment(s) is supposed to be. Is it your attempt at insult? It's mundane and not at all creative.

You yourself know that without people to disagree with on this forum, then it WOULD be exactly like BT (except of course, it would be BT's vulgar brother/sister). Everyone would be of "one mind" and there would actually be nothing to discuss except:

1) Wow, that JSS has got the moves!
2) Man, JSS can dance on me anytime!
3) Wow, Journey has never been better!
4) Man (insert anyone's name), you can PARTY!
5) Dang, Journey never sounded BETTER!

...and other mutually-beneficial and equally mundane comments, like those that appear at BT. Come on, you KNOW you love to argue. You're made for it. Your attempts at humorous sarcasm speak for themselves (emphasis on the word "attempts").

[MartyMoffatt]

Hmmmnnn.... I think you're out of order here CRL. I thought this forum was all about free speech, but it seems to me its only free speech if it conforms to the views of the forum bullies.

Marty

[fred_journeyman]

Oh I see. Adults don't have sex & don't drink alcohol. Gee I really hope I am never an adult then.

No worries there...

[Citygirl]

I'm not even gonna bloody bother making any comments cos it's pretty clear what way most folk on here's minds work.

I agree with Marty on the whole free speech issue. Seems you can't say anything unless you agree with the majority.

Why don't you all go live in one of the wee villages in the Highlands? It would suit you.

U seem to be missing the point. Jeff & Ross attended a party on THURSDAY nite. Did u get that? Thursday. They did not attend ANY pre-show party on Friday. Not the one at Hard Rock nor the one at Carlos O'Charlies (or whatever it's called).

& by the way, CRL doesn't go into the Sex & Booze thread so leave her out of this.

[MCC620]

No adults don't feel the need to constantly make crude a nd tasteless jokes about it. And I don't think you need to worry.

I did read it and I re-read it before I posted. YES, he mentioned the party, BUT that was simply to throw LIGHT on the FACT that the ILAAs are NOT the best organized and maybe, in spite of what they SAY on their site, maybe, JUST MAYBE they are NOT going to provide the fan with the best concert experience. Hey, it would NOT be the first time CORPORATE AMERICA THUMBED THEIR NOSES AT THE PEOPLE WHO PAY THEM TO EXIST.

And on the other side, there was a pre-party being thrown at the Hard Rock by BT'ers, which one of them said an invite was posted to the band members to attend. They CHOSE not to attend, for whatever reasons they had. And said party people are now pissed off because none of the band members showed at their party.

I'm pretty sure that doesn't have anything to do with Monker's post because I definitely do not see Monker as a BT'r...do you?

I will say this once again. It isn't all about ILAA, Fred.

Yes, I KNOW that's what you'll say and what you believe. Good. Go for it. Fine. I DON'T care.

[Citygirl]

I think what she was meaning is that adults don't constantly broadcast what they're doing in bed or how much cider they're drinking. They leave that to us mad student types

I don't make crude & tasteless jokes about anything. I hope I never grow up into a miserable unhappy witch like u. I'll stay childlike w/a smile on my face any day rather than become bitter like u.

Ok I stand corrected about the invite not being directed at the band members. But the fact that they didn't show up to the Hard Rock pre-party the next day got you and other upset because they attened an MR party the night before.

I don't go into the Sex and Booze thread much. I don't drink. So get off that kick.

I am not the one who is perpetuating this thing about JSS and Ross going to an MR party. It is Fyre, you, and others who brought this up.
