JSS Out of Journey?

[heardonthestreet]

It's all very sad but what can you expect with a Perryless Journey?

[Playitloudforme]

If there's no SP...

If there's no Jeff ...

then this is all that's left.

[Blueskies]

Hopefully there will be a lot of answers soon, for me as well. Thank you all but I continue to remain silent for now. Much love, J

Good to hear from you, Jeff! We are here to support to you. Take it easy and get some rest, cant wait to hear some new music from you. Much love back at ya!

JOURNEY ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE OF JEFF SCOTT SOTO

June 12, 2007 -- Journey has parted ways with their recently named lead singer Jeff Scott Soto. Jeff’s first appearance with Journey was July 7, 2006 in Bristow, VA. He had been filling in for Steve Augeri, who had to leave the tour shortly after it began on June 23 due to illness. Jeff’s last performance was May 12, 2007 in Leesburg, VA.

According to guitarist Neal Schon, “We appreciate all of Jeff’s hard work and we can’t thank him enough for stepping in when Steve Augeri got sick last year. He did a tremendous job for us and we wish him the best. We’ve just decided to go our separate ways, no pun intended. We’re plotting our next move now."

Keyboardist Jonathan Cain continues, “We were lucky to have a friend who was already a Journey fan step in on a moment’s notice during the Def Leppard tour to help us out. Jeff was always the consummate professional and we hope that he remains a friend of the band in the future. We just felt it was time to go in a different direction.”

Journey--Neal Schon (guitar), Ross Valory (bass), Jonathan Cain (keyboards) and Deen Castronovo (drums)—is taking the rest of 2007 off to spend time with their families, write new songs and map out plans for 2008.

Well,JSS, if you don't know then I shouldn't talk if even to jest. I can tell you that you are the reason I resumed going to Journey concerts. The way you handled Perry and Queen music few could do or even attempt. God Bless and let us know of any new plans.

Thanks Jeff, you are a class act here to bad we can't say that about the others. You are a really cool guy.

Different direction??? Just staying with the dirty dozen?? Jeff has done everything...can go in any direction. What IDIOTS!

[Saint John]

I've been bagging on Cain for 2 months. I saw this coming a long time ago. Pure class.

[Eric]

Yeah....what fucking direction? You had NO direction, JSS stepped in and there was a promise of new music?

[Crazie Scarab]

Different direction??? Just staying with the dirty dozen?? Jeff has done everything...can go in any direction. What IDIOTS!

There you have it! This is WHY it's over for Journey.

[Playitloudforme]

I feel like an orphan. AGAIN. Christ... a fan w/out a band. Jeff, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all you brought... they don't deserve you. You are 100000% class!

I'm gonna blast my heavy metal tonight, goddammit.

[chad]

what gets me is the pure lack of class...

JSS signs on himself and mentions even he doesn't know what's going down...then 5 seconds later there's a press release of his departure?

what the hell?

un-frickin-believable

[Lady Luck]

I've been bagging on Cain for 2 months. I saw this coming a long time ago. Pure class.

OMG, I first read that as "I've been bagging Cain for 2 months." LMAO!!!

It's been broken so many times that their new singer should be Pebbles.

My heart bleeds for him. It truly does.

[YoungJRNYfan]

Uhh, I want to say something, but I can't find the words. This is just fuckin unbelievable.

[McNeil]

Sad state of affairs..but to be honest... JSS was never gonna be the voice of Journey.... another direction maybe...but not the Journey sound!

Now..... Chalfant has a Journey covers album out.... what a strange coincidence!!! watch this space!

I personally think Jeremey should get the job...but both J and C have that "Journey" sound...so...its all good!

Kudos to JSS though..he saved their asses

Hope Talisman go on to become "Mega" for JSS !!

Hey there McNeil - good to see another night owl on here!

Its a sh!tty set of circumstances for sure however Deano has already said that he knows who the new singer is and it isn't any of the usual suspects. He says its not Chalfant, Hugo, Augeri, Perry or Castro. Still no news on Jeremey - that would be a real stunner though!
