Scotland Review -

[belar]

the same thing was said of greg brady in the hawaii episode..

Man, you kill me...

[Jeremey]

As a side note,I'm afraid Journey will never end up in this part of the world for a live show,although we have amazing venues and equipment plus lots of AOR fans.

Amazing venues and equipment? Lots of AOR fans? Shania, any chance we could put together a small Euro tour for Frontiers!? I've always wanted to see Dracula's castle....

[belar]

the Darkness are doing what they do as tongue n cheek whereas Journey are still living the bombast with all seriousness....& why the fuck shouldn't we?

No reason JSS! I'm much looking forward to full-on, unironic pomposity and bombast in London next week!

What a great word "bombast" is. JSS definitely brings that to the band.

I wanna know if it was Jeff's idea to get Neal feeling young again, sporting
that sleeveless job in the UK! Remenicent of the Frontiers and ROR days!

So all this hoopla about Jeff's doo?
Hell, I thought he was going for the "Eyes" look again!


We can start worrying when he pulls out the Spandex!

Until then, rock on

Is the dude next to Jeff wearing a bathrobe?!?

[txfirefighter]

I think it's a jumpsuit!!!!

[Ratgirl]

I think it's a jumpsuit!!!!

LOL!
Damn Jeff had ALOT of hair.

[belar]

I think it's a jumpsuit!!!!

Whatever it is, I need to get me one of those!

[txfirefighter]

I think it's a jumpsuit!!!!

Whatever it is, I need to get me one of those!

I don't know....you may want to think about getting one of those red and black blouses in the picture. Look....it ties at the waist....very Perryesque!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It could be done,Jeremey.Seriously.Transylvania would be awesome for you guys,this is the heart of rock'n'roll,Bucharest is just a big ugly City.
Maybe a festival?With Frontiers as headliners?

Btw,Transylvania is always hosting big rock events.2 years ago we've had Europe with Joey Tempest here,he loved the vampire stuff and the food.
Last year there was a rock festival here with W.A.S.P. headlining,but it was awful because Blackie Lawless lip-synched. Almost started a damn blog.
Then Halloween and Uriah Heep had shows last year also,very nice.

Frontiers would kick major ass! Omigosh,I would faint to see you guys here!

I'll look into this and see what is going on here for this Summer.

I don't think I have the right pumps to go with that particular blouse.

wow!! here jeff is prettier than my last three girlfriends!!!! my gosh!

:shock: wow!! here jeff is prettier than my last three girlfriends!!!! my gosh!

[Matthew]

I grew up in Europe; I lived in the UK, Sweden, (West) Germany, and Italy, and didn't live in the US until I turned 16.

Journey was bigger than Chicago, Foreigner, and Styx in the late 70's and through the mid 80's. I say this unequivocal certainty

I'm sorry 7 - but this just isn't true...in the UK at least.

A classic....

"i cant see why the person making the review made that poodle remark"

You know, I hadn't read this thread until a couple of minutes ago. The second I saw the "poodle perm" reference on page 1, I thought to myself........ "How long will it take yulog to photoshop JSS's face onto a poodle?"

Ok when I saw this pic of the band - I remembered a pic of me from 1989 (senior yr high school) .. you think they would have let me in their band? My hair is naturally that big - I can do it that way now if I choose.. it take much product to tame it!

That Bryan Adams is somethin eh? I told you all this, but you all told me back, that Journey had more hits. Adams has many more hits than does Journey.

Journey was bigger than Chicago, Foreigner, and Styx in the late 70's and through the mid 80's. I say this unequivocal certainty

That is 100% true. Maybe 1000% true.

[Matthew]

That is 100% true. Maybe 1000% true.

He was talking about European sales, Deano.

[Rockindeano]

That is 100% true. Maybe 1000% true.

He was talking about Europe, Deano.

I know he is. Journey are better than Chicago, Foreigner and REO...combined. Anywhere.

Adams is bigger than Journey over there in Europe.

[Matthew]

That is 100% true. Maybe 1000% true.

He was talking about Europe, Deano.

I know he is. Journey are better than Chicago, Foreigner and REO...combined. Anywhere.

Adams is bigger than Journey over there in Europe.

I know Journey are better. But that wasn't the point he was making. He was saying the Scottish journo had got her facts wrong. She hadn't.
