Welcome Arnel!!

[Lori Jo]

Best wishes for a very successful career with Journey! Can't wait to see you in concert.

[Saint John]

I also wish the man nothing but the best. I'm very intrigued by this lineup and can't wait to see what they bring to the table. If there's chemistry I'll stay and if not I won't, and they'll certainly get a fair chance to make an impression.

[Vladan]

Lol, no sorry... I just don't think so. You are not welcome by me.

Go home. Your staining the name. Neal, Jon, you've sold your souls to the devil again... how many times.

[Saint John]

Lol, no sorry... I just don't think so. You are not welcome by me.

Go home. Your staining the name. Neal, Jon, you've sold your souls to the devil again... how many times.

Yeah....ok. The guy has the opportunity of a lifetime, but he should pass on it because as the band's 6th singer HE'S "staining the name." Quit sniffing paint.

[ScarabGator]

And how do you kow hes "staining" the name??? He hasnt done anything yet that we've heard, for all you know this may be the best stuff since Frontiers in 1983. Give him a chance before you crucify him.

[Little Lenny]

I neither welcome NOR un-welcome Arnel, he is the singer of the band and that is all. I hope he enjoys his time with Journey however long that may be.

[Rip Rokken]

I wish him all the luck in the world, and more than looking from simply a fan's perspective, I'm trying to see it thru the eyes of a fan who got such a shot to front a legendary band. Kinda like the "Rock Star" movie.

I'm sure it's a dream come true for him, and all official reports so far are that he's kicking butt. Good for him!

[wildone]

As The Stomach Turns............Good Luck ...your gonna need tons of it!~!

[nikki]

Lol, no sorry... I just don't think so. You are not welcome by me.

Go home. Your staining the name. Neal, Jon, you've sold your souls to the devil again... how many times.

No offense, but that's basically blaming the new employee for the boss' latest fuck-up. I won't spend another dime on anything Journey does from now on, but I won't blame Arnel for all of the shit they've done to their fans, either. If anyone has "stained the name" of Journey, it's Neal and Jon.

[Behshad]

Of course I welcome Arnel. No matter how pissed I'm at Neal&Co, knowing how much theyve fucked up, it's just fair to welcome the new guy. Ive told you all that I will not support the new Journey in form of spending any money towards cd's concerts etc, but this doesnt mean I will be unfair to Arnel.
Keep in mind, he hasnt done anything wrong. He was invited to the band he got a chance and took it. Any of you wouldve done the same no doubt. There is no reaosn for anyone to put him down. As far as we know, he may be the one that this band needs to make a turn around.

I'm just worried about the future. I hope Im wrong, but I have a feeling that a year or two from now, we will have a fan base build for Arnel,,,and he has been fucked over just like JSS and Augeri,,, and there's people saying they're done with Journey,,,,, and then when the next singer is announced theyre all excited again... Its just natural to label the Journey Singer Saga with a simple french word Déjà fuckin vu.
Welcome Arnel and the best luck to you. As many said it before, You gonna need it man!

[*Laura]

Déjà fuckin vu.

Your French is astounding.

[StevePerryHair]

Déjà fuckin vu.

Your French is astounding.

Yeah, does that make him "quadlingual"???

[Deb]

Lol, no sorry... I just don't think so. You are not welcome by me.

Exactly! I wish Arnel all the best. All the power to him, it's the other 2 idiots I've lost all respect for.

[dcvader]

No Arnel "Welcome" from me. I'm done with them. I will just enjoy the original Perry and recent JSS boots.

Why pay $100 plus to see Journey in the 2008 state when you can pay $12 to see FRONTIERS and get to party with friends. No brainer to me.

They pretty much fucked the legacy years ago. However they did a decent job with SA and had a gold mine in the making with JSS and now to just
milk the casual fan with this ARNEL, I'll pass.

[chf34jmac]

Uh yeah that's fucking original. No welcome from me either. I won't trash the hired help but the bosses to me a STILL fair game because they've shown time and time again what complete and total fuckholes they really are.

[larryfromnextdoor]

Thank you everyone

if your really arenl.. then can you say something that only arnel would know? a BIG welcome to ya,, lots of fun and friends here...

[ScarabGator]

Thank you everyone

if your really arenl.. then can you say something that only arnel would know? a BIG welcome to ya,, lots of fun and friends here...

I was just thinking the same thing! If this really is Arnel then welcome!!!! Cant wait to hear you with Journey!!!

[dcvader]

No way that is really Arnel. I am sure Friga and Fro will make him stay away from these boards.

[Red13JoePa]

I agree w/ Vader, Piniata's DEFINATELY got a "No MR/No TheBashJourneyForums Posting" clause written into his retainer.

[lidobar]

Thank you everyone

I welcome you Arnel with open arms. Based on the YouTube videos of the Zoo, it sounds like you can sing practically anything, from Axl Rose to Kenny Loggins which is simply amazing. I'm sorry that you had to endure the wrath of angry posters who have created appalling sites like Arnel eats Dogs. There is just no call for that kind of racist stuff. I'm glad Andrew has tried to curb that. Occasionally we still get ignorant posters writing shit like you can't pronounce N and D. Whatever, the fact remains you have an amazing singing voice and I'm thrilled my favorite band is still perservering despite all the negativity. I will be first in line to buy any new Journey albums (pls don't re-record the classics) and buy a concert ticket. Please tour in California!!!

That's not AP, just another joker.

[jestor92]

Welcome Arnel, good luck with the train wreck that will become the re-recording of the classics

[SPFan4ever]

The posting style is familiar with the three comma's (,,,) in between sentences. Another member here posts the same way but I can't remember who it is.

[ScarabGator]

I’d like to thank everyone but it’d take me a week or two so here’s a short one.
OK. Lets start with
Andrew – you rule,,, you have the news up before our own official website ,.
Dean,, mouth of MR,,, I have to have you on my good side Ive been told by Neal . so Love you man,,,tell Lula I said hello
SJ John,,, I am at such great relief that I didn’t have to twist your arm to get you on my side. You can be a mouthy mother fucker as well
Ed/Dave/Joe – I know you guys hate me,, but can you at least create a ArnelAnnex for me? Its only fair bro’s .
Moonie,,, As much as I’d love to have you by my side, I understand your reasons. I’m just glad I managed to create such rage inside you ,,, Neal bet me you’d never get mad. He owes me $3.
Liam – you need to become my personal bartender and also explain this Football thingy
Chief- you know you only love JSS cause you have the same name .
StevePerryHair – Time for a new haircut girl,,,and a new screen name
Monker,,,,I don’t care which way you go, cause youre annoying
ConversationDave – You always wanna disagree, no matter the truth,,,, so in this case, I am the worse singer,,, let the debates begin,, bring Raider fan along.
TVL & Susie – nothing turns me on more than a catfight.
Larry – You crack me up. I know we will get along
RedJoePe – The opposite of what I said to Larry

The list could go on, but I am running out of time! Later dudes and dudettes.

Arnel, if this really is you how could you leave out the ScarabGator??!?!? Ive been fighting hard for you on here!!!

If this really was pinheada, my retort would be, "Try not to fuck it up."

Arnel - I already have an Annex address for you. I can't spell it out on MR. See if you can figure it out. Yes, the address really works.

Scarab. Thanks for your hard fight and your support. I will send you a bumpersticker as soon as I get one made .

welcome arnel, and dont forget the bumper sticker!!!!

[mistiejourney]

Lol, no sorry... I just don't think so. You are not welcome by me.

Go home. Your staining the name. Neal, Jon, you've sold your souls to the devil again... how many times.

I agree 100%.
