JOURNEY Drummer Arrested For Allegedly Assaulting His Girl.

Wonder who is cringing more? Arnel or Jonathon?

I would doubt if Arnel gives a shit. As long as he is still pulling a check, he is probably happy. I could see Cain being a bit peeved though. Jonathan and Neal were there for him during his spell in rehab and now this.
Heaven forbid but If it comes out that he's had a relapse I could see Cain throwing down an ultimatum with Schon on getting rid of the guy or else.

I don't know. I am just wondering if they need to just go ahead and call it quits. I think it's about time.

I doubt that will happen, at least for Neal. He is on top of the world right with his new love. I can't see them getting rid of Deen either (unless it comes out that he really did beat this chic or has fallen off the wagon). Without Castronovo singing BGV, they have to go to more tape for their live shows. He is an integral part of their live gigs.

The Neal/Michaele romance, the penis pic, and now Deen. All we need is a video of Arnel nibbling on a Jack Russell Terrier and we can call it a day.

Never can happen. They don't have pedigreed dogs over there, only mutts.

That's a great pic of Deen ...one of the best I've seen!!
It actually looks better than his publicity shots ...he
looks rested, healthy and younger ...love the hair!!

I guess pummeling your woman is a great stress reliever?

When not touring or recording, a drummer needs to release all that pent up energy somehow.

I thought rockers tend to mellow out some as they age. Shit Journey at the rough age of 55 tend to be turning into the bad boys of AARP rock.

"Let me be the first to stand up and denounce this ridiculous arrest. He grabbed a fucking cell phone from his girlfriend. Big God damn deal. During the course of many relationships, I've been slapped, kicked, punched, threatened and a few other pleasantries. The laws are simply rigged to shit on men and we're not hysterical crybabies that dial 911 for the simplest of shit. There's no "equality" in this country. Minorities and women, especially minority women, have it made. Unless I see his bimbo girlfriend with a black eye or some missing fucking teeth, I think SHE should be arrested for misuse of a 911 call. People are just fucking pathetic with some of these 911 calls, and she seems to fall into that category. Maybe I'm wrong, and we'll see pictures of her face showing that Deen belted out the Line Of Fire drumming on her grill, but I fucking doubt it. Dump her, dude, and find someone that can handle a little passion in the relationship. "Wah wah wah ... I'm calling my daddy on you, Deen."

Or else? You folks really think this band isn't over? My God. Neal is an fucking pathetic embarrassment and despite what Daniel says towing the Company line, this is inexucsable. No girl calls dad when there is just a misunderstanding. Something went down in that house for sure.

I am so personally happy JSS got fired from this horrible band. I am so happy he is miles away from Journey. Just awful people. Lip syncing, taking crank shots while spray painted orange-but standing tall at 5'2", red leather pants with geri curls, bumble bee shirted piano playing twinkle toed Cinderella, a bass player that looks like he just crawled out of his box and up through the earth right to the stage after doing two lines of blow, and a road manager who looks like a Keeble Elf with an OJ Simpson attitude. Let's not forget the manager who basically drew up the plan to play to a tape. Awesome. Quality awesome people here gang.

There is NO fucking way Cain continues on with these wackjobs.

I dunno.....money makes people do things they don't want to do.

[Archetype]

I love watching the trainwreck that Journey has become.

[Archetype]

You all know that when Arnel snaps, he'll make Deen and Neal's antics look tame, right?

[Liz22562]

Classic Journey ... tsk, tsk, tsk....

The Gestapo over at Pineda's site will make sure that no news of Deen using his girl friend as a drum kit ever makes an appearance upon those blogs. So chances of this thread getting linked over there without getting immediately deleted are pretty remote.

They don't talk about Neal's love life over there either. I saw a thread about he and Salahi, which promptly vaporized.

[Magwheels]

I can't wait until VH1 does the Behind the Music Remastered on Journey

Or by then will they also do a "Where are they now?"...or a new one: What have they done now?

Yeah, if he's no longer the guitar player for Journey, she'd drop him for Dave Amato, Tommy Shaw, the sax player for Foreigner, or some other desperate semi-famous rock star so fast it'd make his fro-less head spin.

Good thing I stopped following Journey when Steve Perry was longer in the band.

LOL! Oh Saint John...."I owe my soul to the company store!" He tows that Journey company line pretty religiously doesn't he? If he merely grabbed the phone from the woman's hands, I seriously doubt he'd have to post a $50k bail. That doesn't add to me.

I'm not defending Deen here since I don't know the details and domestic abuse is reprehensible, but don't make the mistake of assuming that bail is always proportionate to the crime since the authorities usually aren't on site to observe the event in person.

LOL! I'm sure it's a judgment call, but $52,000 bail for grabbing a cell phone out of someone's hand? Ahhhh...no.

No he's thanking Jesus he left this train wreck years ago!

Sorry, I thought Dan was referring to just the charges that supposedly stem from Deen's grabbing of the phone.

[G.I.Jim]

If he physically hurt his girlfriend, it's inexcusable. If he did, I'm sure he'll face punishment. If all he did was yell and take her cell phone, it's pretty ridiculous to go to jail over. Either way, it's not for me to judge. I'm not perfect the last time I looked.

Yep and it's just small enough for SJ's small brain to manage.
Ok, that wasn't fair. I just want him to get pissed off enough to post.

If everyone would take their time reading the initial blog they will see that the phone grabbing incident reportedly occurred outside the house after the alleged physical assault had happened inside the house. The guy wasn't hit with a bail of $52,000 for simply grabbing a cellphone.

Now we'll just have to wait for it to play out in court.
