Andrew's participation in an unauthorized book is going to piss Journey off anyway Tito.
You know what? Andrew's been very cool to them in the past and they've kind of not been as cool as they could've been at times from what I recall. Andrew's not WRITING the book, he's just doing a Foreward. I'm sure it will be journalistically and politically correct so as not to land him into trouble with the band. If they choose to hassle him over it, well, it's their own publicity that they're hurting.

Anybody read the Foreword that Glenn Burtnik did for the Styx book? Whoo boy.
NO. He's NOT Steve F'ing Perry. But he's Arnel F'ing Pineda and I'm okay with that.

I can't imagine they would write about anything we don't already know. It will be hard to compete with the Eagles' Don Felder book "Heaven and Hell"

If I remember correctly, it was pretty much how 'uncool' he thought the band was at any time in their history and it kind of came across as "I was whoring myself out to make some money and get some notoriety". Strangely enough, that was also Tommy Shaw's feeling in the beginning of his days with Styx. It wasn't all bad, but it was pretty obvious that he has a bit of contempt for the band and sees his contributions to Styx as a non-event, which is too bad as he had some great moments with that band.

You can read the foreward at Amazon.

I'm writing based on the band Journey and their history - not necessarily comments about the contents within. About the band's history in a nutshell as an intro to the book.


No offense, but I bet you screw up again and piss them off.


Dude...get a grip.

1) How could I possibly screw up via an intro to a book?

2) Who cares! They don't talk to me anyway!

3) Management already hate me cause I told them they were arrogant asses.

Steve wasn't involved. In fact, I don't even know the complete list of who was. But my job is to sum up what the band and their music means to folks for the intro and that's what I will do.

This will flop. Danniels doesn't have the balls to go after he band on things that matter. I wish I would have written this thing. I guarantee you it would be a much better read than Danniels effort will be.

I just read it. I didn't take it as a slam on the band really. He was saying how uncool and unhip they were through the eyes of music critics and other asshole reviewers like Andrew! :lol: He even jokes at the end that hopefully the author makes him look cool in the book.

Even in Perry's prime Journey was looked down upon by the same critics..."corporate rock" complaints and all that crap.

NO. He's NOT Steve F'ing Perry. But he's Arnel F'ing Pineda and I'm okay with that.
