To Go or Not to GO? That is the Question..

[Perry doesn't even have a computer.


And how would you know that yakov?

It was in a Fan Asylum interview. The following is a Perry quote:

Q. There is the perception that you have a computer and are online, visiting various web sites, going into chat rooms and sending and receiving emails. Is this correct?


PERRY: I am here to tell you that it is incorrect. I am not online; I am not sending or receiving emails. I have never been on line.

Oh, For goodness sake! It says he is not online. It says nothing about OWNING A COMPUTER. Further more, I am well aware of this interview and it is OLD! Who would make a comment like that based on this old thing?

There is an interview I read(of course I can't put my hands on the link this moment) that says he uses a computer to record and compose music...so the statement that he does not even own a computer is probably an exaggeration.

That old fanasylum quote was to drive home to the people that were being duped by imposters that the people calling themselves steve perry were not steve perry on the internet. It is old and I am not sure how valid it is today

He's on line. Good grief he doesn't live in a cave. I even think he's computer literate. He's just a regular normal guy who happens to sing and is a nice person, it doesn't mean he can't use a keyboard. I agree I think he might have said that because of those idiots who posed as SP. But he has a computer and uses it. Per Moyes Lucas; drummer for his band whenever that was. I think he's a credible source. It's really not that hard to believe.

[perryfaithful]

...and further more, what are we talking about this anyway?? Seems to me Mr Yak was concerned that Perry fans might only chat on line believing that Mr. Perry himself watches. Sorry Yak.....not a consideration.

. Per Moyes Lucas; drummer for his band whenever that was. I think he's a credible source. It's really not that hard to believe.

Thanks Marabelle. I believe you are right...Lucas answered numerous questions at his site, regarding his time with Perry in the FTLOSM band. I forgot about that

Perry sounded pretty adamant about not being online. If he was having so much trouble, why not just get his lawyers on the trail to find out who was impersonating him?

An individual would have to be quite naive to believe that Perry is not online just because he says so.

Yes Moyes is a credible source. All this proves once again is that Perry is a LIAR.

Now, what were you saying about INTEGRITY??

[Marabelle]

maybe he could be the "rolled eyed" liar...lol...

Although you keep proclaiming to hate Steve Perry, it's really very easy to see through all your anger & unhealthy bitterness that you really WANT Perry back in Journey!!!! Otherwise your conversations WOULDN'T be so filled with hate towards Perry, & you would be spending your time talking positively about Steve Augeri instead.

Steve Perry in Journey creates a band that records once every ten years and never tours. It also creates a situation where some fans think the lead singer IS the band - which I absolutely do NOT believe is the case with Journey.

So, No, I absolutely do not want a band that records once every ten years, with or without Perry.
I absolutely do not want a band that NEVER tours.
I absolutely do not want a band where the lead singer is viewed as "the band".

I do not want Steve Perry to ever be a part of Journey again.

[Monker]

Ok -
First up - MONKER - Am I not allowed to have a weekend off?

Of course you are...but the board itself does NOT take a weekend off, unless you take it down for the weekend. If people are blatantly breaking the 'rules', ignoring them and head into personal attacks, I do not see why I shouldn't point that out publicly on the forum. Unless that's something you are going to tell me not to do.

Now that it's Monday morning and I find myself again wasting time cleaning up this board, let's start by kicking TJ out of here.

If there is 'no tolerence', then why are the Perry fans still here who went on the personal attack against yakov? THAT was wrong and it happened BEFORE TJ's post. They should at least be warned.

[Monker]

This is true...and there were some pretty nasty things going on that are not well known.

[Monker]

Ummm, did somebody say that Perry's lawyers were not involved?

[perryfaithful]

Well.....are you going to share??

[atthistime]

Hey monker! Give us the scoop on how Neal,, alledgedly,tried to toss Carlos from his own band. Inquiring minds want to know.

[yak]

There is an interview I read(of course I can't put my hands on the link this moment) that says he uses a computer to record and compose music...

I would need dates, times, places, etc.

Of course you can't come up with anything..............

This only becomes necessary from your point of view when you don't like something YOU read.:roll:

[yak]

Perry apparently went to great lengths to LIE. The implication was if the attornies were involved already, why then did he feel the need to blatantly lie about something so benign as being/not being online?

[atthistime]

WGAS!

[Monker]

Nope.

[perryfaithful]

and again.....WGAS!

[Andrew]

I have better things to do than monitor each and every post here 24/7.
I'll continue to do my best to keep it in order, but you lot are the most dysfunctional bunch I have ever come across.

Still arguing, still fighting and still debating shit that happened years ago and can't be reversed.

Move on - let the anger go - enjoy the music (ANY music) while you still can.

Take care,
Andrew.

We are talking about things said and done following the release of TBF, up to eight years ago. Just because he said he was not online then, but somebody else (not Perry himself) says he is now does not mean anybody is lying. There may be people in this very forum who were not online eight years ago who are now.

As for why Perry said he was not online while at the same time his lawyers were on the trail of certain people who were pretending to be him...Well, he was warning people to not believe the ID's in their Email box. It's really as simple as that.

The quote is from a Fan Asylum interview with Lora, and is from February 2000. That would be four years ago. That would be an interview directed toward the fans. I doubt it's around anymore, because I read somewhere that Perry's interviews are no longer at FanAsylum.

Hey listen, I really don't care, but I state stuff here that every Perryite comes out and refutes with no evidence to back up what they're saying.

All they want is words of undying devotion here about their beloved, and the second somebody challenges that they get all bent out of shape. They resort to name calling and look the other way when Steve Augeri gets bashed.

I'm not denying any of the above.

But, the honest truth is, without going into details:

There were some people who went about online pretending they were Perry.

There were some people who were taken in by this and BELIEVED they were in touch with Perry.

This got back to Perry, thru Lora I believe (who seems to have more contact with Perry's fans then Perry himself), and legal actions were looked into.

But, to help avoid this situation occuring again, Perry repeatedly said he was not online, trading Emails, in chats, etc.

That is as far into the details as I'm going. I was not personaly involved in any of this...and I want to keep it that way.

"They resort to name calling and look the other way when Steve Augeri gets bashed."

The Perry Fans have spoken very positive of him & said that "Steve Augeri is a class act!"

And just for the record, I think Steve Perry is a class act too!

[yak]

Only a major sucker would believe Perry was contacting somebody he didn't even know! Especially since he is so reclusive.

[Liz22562]

Yakov, I'm confused as to where you get the idea that Steve Perry is so reclusive?

It seems to me that I have seen him in several articles over the last couple of years. all of which are repetitively shown on other websites that I have perused.

Seems to me he's quite content doing what he's doing. I give him credit for that also - a lot of people have no clue what they want to do with their life! I'm sure if he gets the bug to tour again we will all see him sooner or later.

Peace~

[aragelfstone]

I hope Steve has put Journey behind him like a bad marriage to someone who cheated on him. No matter how much he loved them they don't deserve him. He's still great, they're not. He should leave it that way. The thought of him appearing with them now is disgusting.
