Message for the next Ex-Lead Singer of Journey

[Carlitto H@kk]

Not so sure if Journey's newest addition posts
here or lurks but you never know...

My message to you, if you do lurk here, is this:

Tell Jon and Neal to shove their offer straight up their
fucking asses sideways and twice on Sundays!

I'm sure you know the history here... Do you really want
to get involved with a band like this???
20 years ago, even 10 years ago, this would've been a Dream-gig for you.
But now, after this past year of craziness, how can you even
consider joining this circus knowing full-well that all you will ever be
to Jon and Neal is a hired hand and nothing more.

You would be fronting the Ultimate Journey Tribute Band
but what would you gain??? If you can sing like Perry,
and I bet you can, you're better off sticking with your own
thing where you still have some control over your life.

It ain't worth it, whoever you may be...
Don't sell your soul now.
These guys have shit on their fans for the last time!
You're a fan yourself, probably...
Don't fall prey to Friga and Neal's line of BullShit!!!
It just ain't worth it...

Amen. Also remember they are probably hiring you because they don't feel your known well enough to steal their thunder. You can provide an acceptable voice, as they stand in the limelight. Think outside the box, as tempting as it may be. Know one thing. Jeff is out because he had as much, if not more energy and talent than they. Look what it got him.

My advice? Don't quit your day job.

[ArnelRox]

My advice: get urself a DAMN good lawyer to negotiate ur contract.

& don't stop looking behind u, beside u, in front of u. Stay tuned here for rumors. U might hear it here before u hear what is going on behind ur back. Any day now, u could go under the bus like ur predecessors. WITHOUT ANY WARNING. Get a provision in the contract to protect urself against that. Or, keep ur day job (if u have one) at least part time. Better yet, just take a leave of absence from ur day job (again if u have one).

[FormerJrnyFan]

Mine would be... don't trust these fuckers!!!

[WalrusOct9]

Maybe if the new singer sang from behind the stage, Jon & Neal would feel more comfortable.

[Granny]

Please, Please whoever you are, take our warning seriously..
JSS would never leave on his own, b/c he thought this was his dream gig...why would he want to leave....????
He didn't!!!!!!!

They have lied in the past and will continue to do so....please be careful with your life

[Carlitto H@kk]

You know what, at this fucking point it wouldn't matter!
Jon and Neal seem to be so fucking content just milking
the Perry-Era stuff, why not just put a Steve Perry Wax mannequin
on stage and play to tapes?!?!?! We KNOW they know how to do that
anyway, why not just add the "Perry Effect"!
Hell, hire the Henson Muppet crew and have a fuckin'
Animatronic, Life-Sized Perry built and stuck center stage!!!

I think they should talk to Celine Dion & AI. Why not? Oh wait. Perry wouldnt allow it. He has some class. Unlike them.

and dont forget the puppet strings.

Seriously tho, I hope whomever decides to go with Journey has a lawyer present and has their back up gig at their call.

[scarygirl]

To the new lead singer, don't be too pretty. Otherwise they'll break your hip.

Edited because I am a douche bag!

Never mind the mannequin. Do like they did on AI with Elvis and use a 3D hologram of Perry singing so people think he is still with the band

Isn't it, though??

Like they don't already? The people are like, shit, they kicked Steve Perry? Again?

If Neal walks towards the front of the stage, NEVER walk in front of him, and introduce him to the audience as much as possible. Also don't stand and block the audience view of Franga either. Tell the audience often how awesome they are, and that you are truly honored to be in their presence. You may make it a year or so anyway.

AMEN!!!
This reminds me of when ALABAMA needed a new coach..After they fired SHULA no one wanted the position..
DON'T DO IT!! RUN!!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!

Jealousy rears it's ugly head once again.

Change is, fortunately or not, neccessary at times. Wish we knew more details of all the goings on and inside truths. Might change some minds. I attended a concert this year and I witnessed people's reactions when Deen sang; people reacted tremedously because, after all, it is what people except and want to hear; Journey! That unique sound. Supply the demand.

Journey is after all, about a sound as a group, which they have proven in the past "without" Steve Perry.

My advice to the New singer








RUN DUMBASS! GO BACK TO THE ROCK YOU WERE UNDER WHERE YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE LAST YEAR!

I would like to say that I'm sad to see JSS leave Journey, but I do not believe for a minute we have heard the last of him.
People, please stop with the hurtful advice though, the next lead singer could be reading this and I really do feel for him/her.

Sure as hell right there!

[Karma Baby]

As SA fans were told time and time again:

IT'S BUSINESS!!!!!

[LocknLoad]

Not everyone here is a hating, angry deprived individual. Some have empathy as well as intelligence...good luck to all I say and I can't wait for the new adventure for both Journey and for JJS's next music move! Long live rock, long live the music!

I understand what you are saying, I really do. However, what is being said is the truth, and I feel for them as well.

That's the whole point, Moron!!!
He DOES read here!
And he needs to know that his friends and fans
here Do NOT WANT HIM TO DO THIS!!!

He is TOO GOOD for those cock-smokers!!!

[scarygirl]

What is being said here is tongue and cheek, sort of. It's a way of letting off steam over the demise of a once great band.

[LocknLoad]

Interesting how one can appoint himself as some kind of voice of authority and reason for others...LOL!

People please! Don't be "sheeple"! Live and let live and oh yes, get over yourself, oh dazed and confused one. Hey, Cockaroach; go out and get some will ya; or is that a difficult task for you? Last I checked, it's not only Rockstars getting laid; or are you just JEALOUS...hmm;)

I'm not being tongue-in-cheek...
I am dead-fucking-serious!
And 'He' knows it!

Mr. "Next Ex" needs to tell the band,
"Thanks... but go on outside and play
a game of Hide-&-Go-Fuck-Yourselves!"
