What happens next?

[weatherman90]

Sorry to hear this...hope to see you at a show soon, though!

[nolippin]

Yes, and the fact that he felt compelled to do it anyway makes it self serving and "puke inducing".

Stay or go. It won't change the board one way or the other, but dramatic goodbyes are self serving.

Agreed.....self-serving, and puke inducing at the same time. Is that a paradox?

And Jeremey even acknowledges this:

Anyway, I've never been a fan of "grand exits" here or anywhere else. But I thought it necessary anyways to let people know that I have really enjoyed being a part of this forum

fluff 'em all. stick around and engage your cloaking devices over the annoying ones. don't punish us by bailing cuz some can't behave.

just let them be invisible. there are certain peeps here I won't read and I won't respond. it's so much neater that way..

we'll be around for you, either way. u rock

how's the baby???

I agree exactly with what Deb said. I could never understand why so many people seemed to develop such an attitude where you were concerned. But then again, I truly believe there are several people here who are not happy unless they are fighting with someone. I'm with Deb....there are just some people I don't read or respond to.

I hope you change your mind but understand if you don't. I know I wouldn't want the grief. Too many better ways to spend your time.

Thanks for posting your website and I hope to see you at a show soon!

Who's fighting? I'm not fighting! Why would you say that? You want a piece of me?

That's real nice. This forum has lost one of it's most valued and knowledgeable members. Someone who knows more about the music business than ANYONE else here and meanwhile, many foolish, argumentative, negative people remain. He was run off by SUPIDITY and who can blame him?

That's not a good trade-off.

Good luck Jeremey. Please come back soon!

Thanks, Ehwmatt and Rhi. We're all worse off for losing Jeremey. He brought really great insight as to how the music industry works and was run off by idiots.

Really sad.

I certainly don't think he should have left. I enjoyed his insights. He's a great singer and can sing the Journey catalog with the best of them.

Not sure why he's leaving. I read the discussion between him and GI Jim, who used to be the keyboardist in Frontiers. They have a professional past. Not sure if there's any animosity left over or what, but I sure wish it hadn't turned out like this.

[SherriBerry]

Hey everyone,

Just want to post real quick to say thanks to all of you for hanging out, being cool, and being interested in my music and sharing our love for Journey here over the past 7 years I've been a part of this forum.

Unfortunately for me, things seemed to change when my name got outed as JSS' replacement a couple of summers ago. At that point I became not a forum member but a topic of conversation, and for the most part here it wasn't real pleasant. I had hoped that people I considered friends would see me through and for the most part that was true - some I thought were friends didn't survive that time period, and I probably should have realized then I wouldn't be able to get back into the swing of things as just a forum member anymore. I tried to stick it out mostly out of pride - as in "they can't run me off" - but I probably should have backed out long ago.

Since then I've tried to lay low and just post updates about Frontiers shows or some writing demos etc, but then everytime I'd try to get back into "conversation mode" something else would come up about me and my Journey situation, making it real difficult to stay "normal." The funny thing is, no one here knows me personally - I've met a few people and made friends here, but certainly not in any context of my deep personal life. It's disturbing when people presume things about you or make judgements about you without knowing anything about you. It's been a real lesson that hasn't been fun, but certainly been necessary.

Anyway, I've never been a fan of "grand exits" here or anywhere else. But I thought it necessary anyways to let people know that I have really enjoyed being a part of this forum when it wasn't so contraversial. But two years later, it appears I still can't be a member of the "general public" so I wanted to share for those with any interest where they can continue to stay in touch w/me and the like.

My main website for my upcoming CD and other solo releases is the ReverbNation site which is linked in my sig. The Frontiers site and information is always at www.journeytributeband.com, and videos, songs, etc are usually released on our reverbnation.com/journeymusiclive site.

Lastly, let me one declaration that most of you probably know anyway - Real life is always MUCH more fun than any computer forum. As always, in the future I hope to meet many more of you on the road and hope everyone has great success in family, love, and fortune.

Thanks again,
Jeremey

I seem to recall a couple of threads entitled, "Who Wants Some?" and "Okay So I Broke Into the Revelation Wine"

I hope you decide to stick around Jeremey - you are one of the most informed people on the board regarding the music industry and it's great to have your input. You are well liked and regarded, but I understand why it would be difficult to find yourself a topic of discussion. I doubt that will stop if you leave, as you are part of Journey's history, so isn't it better to be able to address those comments and dispel misconceptions? Whatever you choose, good luck to you and I hope to hear you in concert soon!

Jim is a good guy too, from what I gather from his posts and some PMs. He's always very nice to me on here and writes some good tunes. Haven't had the chance to meet him in person like I have with Jeremey... Jeremey is a great guy, an incredible performer, and even took the time to chat with me for a good solid 15 minutes after playing for 2.5 hours (I was exhausted just watching the guy!). It wasn't any fun watching them get into it today

Nope. Not a bit.

Sorry to hear this, Jeremey. Always enjoy reading your posts.

[WalrusOct9]

Sorry to hear that Jeremy...you've always seemed like a really good guy...hopefully you guys will end up in Nashville one day, I'd love to come check out a show.

[Carla777]

Hola Jeremey..i don't understand very well why you go..but whatever the reason might be, wish you the best with your work in music..

Ciao!

[texafana]

Christ Carla, you're avitar is stunning. wow.. ok back on topic.

J...stop the drama queen bs. Rise above, create a frontiers account and post info about the shows. Otherwise quit spilling your heart on online to the lions.

[mikemarrs]

take care.

[Red13JoePa]

Say "Hello" to Blowjob Hacks, J.

[Deb]

Say "Hello" to Blowjob Hacks, J.

Didn't he recently leave on another 6 month tour of duty? God speed.....to him.

All the best in your musical endeavors, Jeremey.

[rayzke]

Continued success Jeremy! Stop in and visit sometime...if only to observe...

[NealIsGod]

I hope you decide to stick around Jeremey - you are one of the most informed people on the board regarding the music industry and it's great to have your input.

Yup. Huge loss for the board if Jeremey decides to move on. I think it's good to step away from the boards and the internet in general sometimes, esp. if it is hogging too much of your time. Hope you come back once you feel up to it, J.

This is why I like you Deb. You're the best.

Jeremey, "What Happens Next?" You just keep on making great music and we'll see you at a Frontiers show. And of course the CD will be eagerly awaited! Good Luck!
