Arnel Interview

[wednesday's child]

Andrew,

Once again...

If you really want an interview with Arnel, then get access to Arnel, Pinoy style:
Not solely via Journey management. Get in touch with Rodel or Erik first.
Rip et. al. have done a LOT of the fucking legwork already. Because of their efforts,
you now know that Arnel's open to the idea, and if he really is willing to do it,
I seriously doubt Journey will or can restrain him.


That is all.

See,
this is why I just hug and spoon and snuggle with everyone I meet. It is just easier for when I ask for something.

Love is the answer. what a great 70's tune.....

[Rip Rokken]

Part of the current efforts to perhaps give Arnel a chance to shine was a feature interview with me for this site. A request had been sent some montha go, so I sent another request this week.

It is with much regret and some sadness that I report that this request has been denied.

That's it folks...I'm sorry...

Andrew -- Don't give up... Never Walk Away.

Dude, the lyrics are "Don't give up, don't give in. Some days you know you just can't win."

Just try spooning/snuggling with me, and you'll get what you're asking for, all right.

Wech, I wouldn't suggest that if I were you. Apparently one of the reasons for JSS' release from the band was his proximity to some members here and his fans in general. I would be careful of pissing off TPTB. It may be somewhat of career suicide.

If the past 2 singers before him are any indication, a Journey singer can not be too fan friendly. It goes against the 'uptight and constipated' image they are going for these days...

I'm about to give Don a call and see if we can't shake some trees around here to get something going...

CNN JUST FLASHED ACROSS THE SCREEN THAT DON DOKKEN WAS arrested at a concert for taking his shirt off!!!! WTF

After all the crap that Friga and Fro have pulled over the last couple of years - this surprises you? They OWN Arnel and he wont do any interview unless it is approved.

Andrew I am sorry, your integrity has always been at a high level, they just showed low theirs truly is.

Perry has said NO to alot of interviews over the years. That was HIS choice, he doesn't have anyone thinking for him, nor does he need someone to think for him.

For the record there he probably has said NO more times than he has said YES.

Did you get your answer?

[Luvsaugeri]

while the slicing and dicing of augeri (who was with the band for 8 years and gave andrew many great interviews) and his fans was still occurring online here, andrew spent an entire weekend in california with the band and got the inside scoop. but now they don't feel he is a true supporter of the band? typical journey bullshit. they obviously think they don't need him and his site anymore.

BINGO!!! This makes no sense whatsoever. Augeri got crucified here WAY worse than anything Arnel got. And Andrew spent a whole weekend with them and did an interview with them. NOW they don't want to do the interview because of some comments made here months ago?? Total bullshit. Andrew I hate to say it but I think you got used. They used you and this site to do their dirty work and get rid of Augeri. I really don't understand the refusal now. You gave a good review of Revalations, (not that an interview should be contigent on a good review) you have personally posted nothing but positive things about Arnel as far as I've seen, and you got rid of all of the negativity towards Arnel.

What the hell is Perry going to talk about???? The dude doesn't talk to anyone, and never has. He is the poster child for a recluse. I honestly don't blame the guy for not doing interviews. He is simply going to be asked what he thinks of "the new Journey", and what he's been doing for the past 10 years. The guy is retired and probably doesn't even comprehend the fascination some have with him, after 10+ years out of the public's eyes.

Seriously, sorry Wombat; their reason for denial sounds seriously unprofessional.

Ironically for supporting the current line-up at the time (w/Augeri). What a tangled web...

Seriously though...I'm done. Arnel will not go against management's wishes and I wouldn't expect him to. I have a lot of respect for him and wish him and the rest of the guys well.

But I am done.

yup and he shouldn't--it's a good gig for him. it's just horse schutt that he is stuck in the middle.


if you are done, may we have JSSB forum now????

[nutz4Neal]

Arnel got torn to shreds here pretty badly for a long time. I can't say that their decision surprises me one bit. Had Arnel been afforded 1/100th of the same "protection" Soto receives, that interview would have been granted in a second. I'm not saying that Andrew is a bad person in any way, but I think he made some poor decisions regarding the pasting Arnel took. At one time, there were literally 2 or 3 people sticking up for him while he got belted. Schon and Cain had a history of fuck ups to wage war against them at least in some capacity. The same simply cannot be said about Arnel. He's never done shit to anyone and the length of his professional, cultural and personal online rape was far too long.

Ditto to what he said.

And Mimi, what the schutt are ya talkin' bout sistah? <sorry, I just had to get a schutt in my post somewhere somehow )

Um, we's already got one?! Pst pst Andrew, how's that other forum coming along?

See Marie, pretty subtle eh?

they are schuttisms--just something annoying that we have picked up. it is in honor of the release of Gary Schutt's new cd, see below. insert commercial.

Gary is a guitar player but plays bass for JSS' band and has done most of JSS' videos. we all adore him and wish him the best with his new instrumental cd.

is that what you mean by what do I mean? or are u just schutting me.
