Is Today The Day?

[jrnysc]

Since some of you seem to be 'damning' anyone that hasn't jumped on the bandwagon to fry Journey, what will your repercussions be to those that have absolutely NO CLUE what's going on in the Journey camp and attend a concert with whomever the new lead singer may be?

Picket? Riot? Call them idiots, immoral and unethical? The percentage of those that get their "inside" info online versus those that are clueless to the events is minimal at best. Quite honestly, I know a lot of people that know about Journey, but couldn't name a single person in the band. People will pay to see Journey in concert, 'cuz they want to hear the dirty dozen.

I won't call them anything. That is their choice and their right. It's just not MY choice.

[Jeremey fan forever]

Jeremey is in the air as I type this. Jeremey should take this gig. Jeremey should get what he can for his family.

I spoke out of raw emotion last week, and want to correct myself.

Jeremey is a nice guy and is not the target. Today, Jeremey will arrive SFO, travel up to the Bitch's house and do what he can do to become singer for Journey. Mgt will be there, Neal, Ross, and Jon.

I would take the gig too. I really would. The money Jeremey can make just being in the band Journey is more than he has made in his entire life.

I say good luck to you Jeremey. Do what you need to do. I wish you the best. However, if you are all around having a beer on the deck, overlooking the Open Arms pool, and Friga is in front of you, feel free to push him off the deck into the concrete. Then ask Neal for Greg number and ring him up.

In all sincerity, good luck to you Jeremey.

Right on, Deano. Jeremey getting this gig will never right the wrongs that have been done, but I think Jeremey is innocent of any blame.

Journey probably has very few years left, and Jeremey is younger than them, and a tremendously talented guy. If Journey closes shop after a few more years, and Jeremey is able to use those years to leverage himself into the limelight quit his day job, that's good for Jeremey and his family, and its good for Melodic Rock, because the dude is that good.

[LucyFurr]

What rules will Jeremey be given? Let's see.

1. If you ever back talk ANYONE in this organization, your fired.
2. If you ever interrupt or step in front of Neal during a solo, you will be fired.
3. If you ever slide across Jon's fresh polished piano, you will be fired.
4. If your voice as much as goes hoarse, you will certainly be fired.
5. If you ever place your arm around our shoulders after a show, you will be fired.
6. If you ever try to out do us on stage, or gain attention, you will be fired.
7. If you speak to those bastards at MR for ANY reason, you will be fired.
8. If you don't give 150% to get our ass out of this crack, you will be fired.
9. If you ever as much as mention seriously writing new music, you will be fired.
10. If we quit speaking to you, assume you have been fired.

Other than that, we should get along fine.

11. If you attempt to befriend, mingle with, party with, PM, IM, Email, or call any of your fans out of Fro or Friga's presense, you will be fired. As per this contract, THEY deserve and WILL get all of the attention.

While I am sure Jeremey appreciates your good wishes, the "information" you are professing to know here regarding his travels are wrong, and your speculation on his income is just that, specualtion.

Deb

Fuck you Deb. I was off a few days on the travel, but that was the original date.

Again, fuck you. You know nothing of what's happening. I fucked up on the travel date, but other than that, everything else I mentioned is in fact happening. After Sunday, you won't have to worry about me. You can come on here and spew your agenda.

I'm not going to argue with you Dean, you have no idea what I know or don't know, just as I have no idea exactly what you know or don't know. What I do know or don't know isn't the issue here. I'm not the one laying down a timeline on Jeremey's personal business and speculating about how much money he makes or will make. I have no agenda, just trying to keep speculation on Jeremey's business to as much of a minimum as possible. When and if there is anything he wants or is able to share publicly, I'm sure he will be here to let everyone know what is going on.

Dude, where you going Sunday? Football season doesn't start for 3 months.

[dcvader]

No one should take out what the band has done to Jeff on Jeremey, he had nothing to do with it and is only going for an opportunity that has been presented to him. You cant fault the guy for that. Jeremey and Sabrina are great people and I'm happy for them that they have this opportunity. Jeremey has the vocal talent for the job. Even if it is short lived, the moment he signs on will greatly benefit his family....himself, Sabrina and the little one on the way. I may have ill will towards the band but I wish Jeremey the best and hope he gets the gig.

Damn TVL. I agree with you again! Were on a roll.

Actually, no. I'de never tell someone not to listen to them. What if their kids first concert was Journey, and that little child remembers that concert like we all did with Perry, follows that Journey line up, changes, hurts, ect. Its just going to be a new thing for some, ok to watch for the die hards, and all around good if you like the classics.

I stand firm because I know how they are as people. I cannot support that.

Deb

Wednesday was suppose to be the day he came west...Obviously, it was changed to Monday..big deal, I was wrong on dates, but right on everything else. I love how Monker and Rich Meyers have said I am always wrong, but can never tell me what I was wrong about when asked.

Deb, go ahead and get behind him, rally for him, that's great. I already told you, you won't get my point of view or inside information after Sunday, as I won't be around to give it or give a damn to get information anylonger. I am sure I will be bashed relentlessly after I leave. It's the cowardly way.

Please do not say I am speculating on how much money he will make, because that is not my business. He will be the new central figure on here, and maybe you can be his online MR leader. I am sure he will want to keep it to a minimum, as Neal and Friga will not like it if he is accepted.

Your turn.

Where ya goin Dean? Actually, I think I'm with ya on this one. This board has no more purpose for me. I can check out Jeff via other sites. I guess to keep true to my own word, I should stop posting here as well, since this is in a way "supporting" Journey.

Yeah, screw Andrew and his stupid site. We all know he was behind the whole thing. He must pay along with the rest of the band

[Aaron]

Ditto

Living out a dream can never be considered selling out your soul. And let's remember, Jeremey hasn't done anything wrong. He's a good guy, and if he IS in fact in the running, I hope he gets the gig.

[LucyFurr]

Andrews site isnt stupid and hasnt been a waste of my time. My thoughts on this subject are NOT about Andrew. He didnt do anything but run a site and interview a bunch of liars. He had NO idea, along with the rest of us. Being part of this site has been educational to me.

It wasn't you post that read, "I can check out Jeff via other sites"? Okay, my bad. I know Andrew's site isn't stupid. Next time to help you out I'll add this...***dripping with sarcasm***

[Liz22562]

Sadly enough, one of the biggest reasons that I am at odds with Journey is because of "TMI" (too much information).

Over the last year, my brain has been so saturated with all the personal drippings of Journey: Whose in, Whose out, who can sing, who can't sing, who said what to whom, whose telling the truth, who isn't telling the truth, who got a front seat ticket, who didn't, whose mad at whom, people tearing other posters down because of their opinions, people bashing people because they haven't taken anyone's side, favoritism to some, not to others, blah, blah, blah...it has soured me to the point that I haven't posted in many months - just a daily lurker.

I'm so full of "Information Overload" on Journey that I am not even interested in listening to their music.

I never, in my life, thought that I would ever say that I'm tired of Journey.

I was SO with you until that last point (even though you know you're my girl ) b/c I can ALWAYS find some Journey I feel like listening to NO MATTER WHAT.

[Little Lenny]

Not that I wish the guy any ill will, but I hope he doesn't get the gig - especially if he's as nice a guy as I keep hearing. Those two yo-yo's would just eat him alive.

Getting the dream job with your idols is incredible ~ finding out your idols are snakes and having them rip your dreams and illusions to shreds before your eyes.... Unfathomable pain.

Just ask Jeff...

Yep. That is exactly my point. That could QUICKLY go from the dream of a lifetime to one of the most miserable experiences ever imagined. It seems to me like there was tension in the band before Jeff even got axed. I am not in the situation and can't speak for Jeremey, but even as cool as it would be fronting Journey, I'm just not a man comfortable having to look over my shoulder all the time. I would not want the stress, unless they were paying me mega bucks.

Reminds me of Ancient Rome this and how the Emperors and their kin were not adverse to selling their own granny's down the river...Hmmm Caligula and Nero are the 2 that spring to mind....now I wonder why that would be

Nero Schon and Jon Frigula .... heh-heh-heh. Kinda like how that sounds.

Ah yes I can see it now!!!! Didn't Nero Play his fiddle while the empire burned to the ground..some how I also think there is an analogy there too ...

DAMN, so right yet so rigid.

[Magwheels]

When Jeremey sits at the piano with Satan and his partner, and possibly sells his soul?

I sure hope not.

I can't imagine him doing so...he being such a big Perry fan as well(leave Journey alone..Perry's comment)..and seeing what happened to the other guys. I suppose the money could be a huge temptation for him- he'd better be getting a big hunk if he does do this.

I can see him using his sense of humor and doing his singing impersonations(or whatever u'd call them) here and there- I'm sure that'd get some attention in the press. Throw in a few Outfield tunes here and there(I'd pay to see that..not the Journey tunes )

[mrmusicman73]

Maybe they are trying to cut cost with Jeremey. Unfortunately for him, he is not in a good negotiating position. The reason is he has had no real career with music PRIOR to any offer they make. So basically the management can say "Wanna play in bars?" or "Wanna make $1000/gig?"

Another disadvantage he has is they can offer Hugo the job, which in my opinion would be smarter if they go the tribute route simply because he looks exactly like Steve Perry. This way the casual fan will truly have no idea that Steve Perry is not in the band.

Just my two cents...

With how much so many have called him a stand up guy, I was surprised he was eve considering checking it out.

Sorry Hugo sounds gay,looks to muck like Perry {old video though] and sounds weak .He cant push and hold the notes. I dont hear any creativity at all. Sounds like a wedding band trying to do Journey

You know, this tribute singer thing is starting to make sense. Maybe they could work it out where a huge fan/Perry sound-a-like could actually PAY the band to let him sing. Win/Win.

It has nothing to do with sounding weak, that is a PA and sound system issue, Hugo would be the smart move because his EVOLUTION show is the closest thing to a SP "Journey era" show in the country.
In fact maybe EVOLUTION should just promote themselves as "The NEW Journey"!!!!
