I must say only been back on this board for a few days after a break and what bitterness there is especially regarding Steve Augeri! I remember at the time a lot of people on this board thought he was marvellous! But yet you turn your backs and attack someone at the first opportunity!!?
Steve Augeri is a great singer, and delivered Journey songs with such heartfelt expression , he was the best we could have hoped for after Steve perry. After singing what must be difficult songs to sing for a long period of time, he begins to have throat trouble, backing tracks are brought in to help ....Was this really such a crime?? Im not wanting to go into the ins and outs of what was used and to what extent as I see all avenues were exhausted at the time.
But what amazes me is still there is bad feeling towards steve, he made two fantastic albums with journey for the time he was with them, be grateful!!!
See jeff scott soto is flavour of the month at the moment but god help you jeff if you fluff your lines or go off key once or twice , youll be lynched!!
All the best! And all the best to Steve Augeri wherever you are, hope to hear you soon!
