Had I known this was going to take place, then dammit, I would've been there!

JT warned Dean not to go to the show. Yeah...that was smart. I'll let everyone guess whether or not Deano went. :lol:

Was a real threat or what? Was Dean really not welcome at a Journey show? Did they fight?

If he buys a ticket, how can they stop him?

by **ttango1** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 4:46 am

So I got to talkin' to Deano via cell phone and was told that JT threatened to have security toss Deano because JT hasn't gotten over the Augeri tapegate show.

Didn't get a chance to rock with Deano but man...that guy can speedblast a story in 2 minutes.

ST. JOHN IS COOL PEEPS. My new Midwest Journey BRO!!!

Well Dean was right and JT got outed. Sounds like sour grapes er -or should I say tapes on JT's part :lol:

by **(Crazy)Dulce Lady** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 6:52 am

yup, i've been there too. Jeff gave me 7 tickets and meet and greets for New Orleans and JT decided that we couldn't come in.

me and the chicas--- standing there at the door with only a policeman ( with a gun!!) standing between me and the table that he had them "protected" behind. (like he's gonna keep me from giving them their hugs. Ross -YOU BABY!! why didn't you show! hehe)

I'm thinkin', JT's kinda short. I think I can take him". then I remember THE GUN. :evil:

JT changes his mind for some reason, takes my arm and leads me in. then he says, "Run to them." I look up and they are all looking at me like, "Well, are you coming in or not".

doi.

Neals reaches out with OPEN ARMS and we fools rush in. ahhhhhhhh

BTW, DrFU did manage to get past JT the first try. (don't mess with that, brother. :shock:

) hehe

We were told in Charlotte, as we were leaving the 5* pre-party, that HE was the reason we couldn't take our cameras in. HE didn't want photos taken. But of course everyone else and their fucking brother had a camera. ASSHOLE!

by **RPC13** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 6:59 am

Yeah, Deano DID get in. I pulled him in line with me so that he wouldn't have to go all the way to the back of the line. He said he would stay only for a few songs and then leave because his wife and son weren't there with him. Seemed to have his priorities straight. Real nice guy. Saw him inside about half way through the show, but then he disappeared. Don't know if he stayed 'til the end.

I have personally heard JT say he HATES fans....explains the way he acts, eh!?

Get done mowing Chines Food at PF Changs, in Planet Hollywood, at we come and Deen yells at me and we hug and all that shit, and talk about the whole thing that is Journey. I picked up his 98 yr old mom Kay, and we had a good ol time. So, we are about to let the guy go eat, and all of a sudden, this 5 foot tall angry treeehouse troll comes out of nowhere, actually, he looks like a chipmunk who hasn't shaved in a week stife with AIDS, and he yells, , not speaks, but yells like a fucking bus station announcer with a PA, "You aren't planning to go to the show tomorrow are you?" I looked down at this Keebler Elf, and said, "I don't know." He then says back matter of factly, "if you do, I will have you kicked out." Then I got enraged, and stuck my my middle finger right smack up against his forehead and said loudly, "Fuck you! What's your problem?" He says "You are a troublemaker for this band." I laughed out loud at that. Really had no idea I was such a thorn in Journey's side. Keep in mind, all this is happening at the entrance of a nice restaurant in a nice casino. Lula got bent and walked away, and Elf kept his pie hole running. He wouldn't shut up. St John walks up to him about 5 mins later and says, "Dude, that was highly unprofessional" to which Toomey replied loudly, "Fuck you!"

Memo to Journey Mgt. You really want your road manager roving casino hotels and restaurants threatening customers and fans who drove hundreds and thousands miles to see YOUR band?

PS- JT, your own band hates your ass. Next time, when we meet, shut your fucking mouth and there will be NO problems. And there will be a next time. See you in California asshole.

Great story, but what's ur beef with Kevin Cronin and why does he so badly want to kick ur ass?

by **Marzdog** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 8:37 am

Would have paid to see this!!

Amazing how some of these people are not only still employed, but, go from band to band.

I missed this, but head all about it... Saint John said it was like something straight out of a movie. Guarantee if I'd been there I would have helped verbally berate this little dude. Hate to see friends treated like that...

Can someone post it on Youtube?

Not with me either.....he sent out a broadcast e-mail a year or so ago that I accidently was included in - (when JSS was still with the band) - gave me and this site and absolute serving before others stepped in to correct his attitude. :evil:

Hey I thought you were in America. Ya know where we are FREE. How can this type of shit be OK with Journey?

by **Arkansas** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 9:43 am

So why does the band keep him around?
They must like him, no?

later~

I'm sure it's not a matter of "Like". He's probably just very efficient and talented at what he does, so he's still around. I'm sure it takes a long time to put together an efficient and reliable road crew. They probably didn't care for Herbert too much either, but he did a lot for the band (more than anyone else outside of the actual band).

It still doesn't make it right though, and the band (Or management) need to put a foot in this guys ass and straighten him out!

Geeze, you'd think with all the crap that has gone down with this band over the last two years and with a NEW front man, they'd be all over being cool to the fans. They were when Augeri was brought on.

I missed Tapegate totally - had no clue, always sat close enough to hear how hard Augeri was struggling, but man Dean, you must have hit a major nerve back then! Good for you! When did this JT enter the picture? Never even heard of him until I came to this board.

What a jerk. The band needs to set this guy straight. And damn, am I sorry I missed it! I'm just sorry you were put in that position. Sounds like you handled yourself well.

by **ProgRocker53** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 10:15 am

Yeah JT sounds like a wonderful guy. :roll:

People like him just don't deserve the positions they have.

by **venomnation** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 10:33 am

Hey deano - I'm new here - how's about givin me a little back story

by **Luvsaugeri** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 10:50 am

JT is a total dick!! I'm sure he's one of the main reasons Journey has so many PR problems. What an ass!!! He had no right to do that. I'd like to see him get his ass kicked!!

So Dean....how long did you stay at the show?
