"The Journey Website is currently being re-designed..

[CatEyes]

Since they have NOTHING to PUT on a new website, I guess they aren't in a big hurry

'

They just continue to do dumbass things time after time. If you want to get and/or keep new fans, one way to do it is to keep an official site up and running.

Only thing I can figure is that they weren't there when the brains were handed out.

The band thought they meant "trains" and theirs left the station without them....

hehehe

I am so terribly sorry....but I just could not resist.

[chf34jmac]

Just one question really.





WHY BOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stevew2]

Why did you post this? old and disgusting news

[Arkansas]

So, if you're all done with Journey...and you no longer support the band...and you really don't care anything about the band any more...

Then why in the #ell do you post about their website? I mean, who gives a $hit...right?

Btw, all this feel-good stuff about MR-fest (ie, good to meet you, got home safe, give us pics, etc.) sure does remind me of all the touchy-feely bull$hit called 'Back Talk'. Whatsup wit dat ??? If all of us here at MR.com are so hard core and above all that softy emotional mess, then why are there so many here so hung up on it all?

Can we please get back to all the F-bombs and trash talk? Please? Many of us here need real entertainment, d@mnit! C'mon, already. Jeez. Show us your true colours...

Dunno. Responding to whoever feels their toes trodded upon...I guess.

I just see so much hypocritical whining. It's actually all quite laughable - people that have constantly complained about how bad this band is, but now have a problem with their website...I mean, why the F do they care? If they hate the band, they why are they giving them hits? (Yes, every single time we go to their site, their hits counter ticks over a notch...which lends them credence to their management...duh!) The paradox is quite unbelievable. If you totally abhor something or someone, then JUST F'ING WALK AWAY, DAMNIT!

But no, we can't. Therefore, we still must love these guys, no?

Uhm, as far as the touchy-feely aversion...uhm, yeah. The MR fest was probably a good show, but all the friendship crap being discussed certainly fans the stench of 'BackTack' that we all have so fervently opposed. Again, more hypocrisy. I don't want a group hug...do you?

[stevew2]

There is no Journey,and this group you are talking about are people that loved Journey,and went to all there concerts.They have maintained frendships reguardless of how they were lied to from the band.There are freindships and connections with each other that are more important than the "band" I am a small part of this clan. They are good people. We still love the music,but hate the bad choices they made. Sorry if it sounds like wining to you,but that is the way it is,they had other choices,now they dont even have a lead singer.I am embarresed for Journey,That is why I not a fan anymore

Then, we can all take our Journey-bashing back to the official Journey site...right where it belongs.

You are someone who has obviously never visited Jackass Talk on "the official Journey website"! Unless the moronic moderators who ran that site approve of your words, anything you say willl be deleted! You will then receive a nasty email from one of these self-important jerks telling you that you MUST worship EVERYTHING these impostors, calling themselves Journey, ever puts out...Even if it sucks as bad as "Generations" did!!!!!

John from Boston

Well thats right. I remember posting there in the early days, and said on many occasions. Steve Augeri won't see past 2004/2005. I said that back in 2000. I guess I was out by a year or so, but I was right. The wiggle worshippers were trying to bann me for years, just because I was being myself and spoke the honest truth. Sadly I was right, and the Augeri wiggle fans were slowly humbled when he was ousted out of the band, and the fans had to sit and watch it happen, and there was nothing they could do about it, but watch this band drive itself further into the pits of hell, slowly but surely tearing their own legacy into shreds.

This band was long finished, these guys cooked, done and lost all recognition when Perry left this band. 1996 was the end of Journey, that's the truth. A new backtalk will arrive, with new so called Journey fans, jumping on the band wagon, and how quickly they will turn their backs on Perry and JSS, and their beloved Augeri. Soon it will be Arnel fever, god forbidd.

This band sux. I only stick around for the classic lineup, the real music. You can't beat classics like Send Her My Love, Ask The Lonely with Perry on vocals. Forget the rest, its garbage. Journey the tribute band. Ousted JSS like nothing. JSS did Journey a favour, not the other way around - they lost out, big time. Don't fool yourselves, Journey is over - unless your into cover songs, and Steve Perry wanna-be's left right and center. Atleast JSS was awesome in his own right, which is the least I can say for any other Perry wanna-be, for god sake be yourselves. Steve Augeri was a Perry wanna-be, Sammy Hagar said, the world said it, while the Journey BT experts denied it.

I am not going to leave these fourms, I will stick around and enjoy the read. Like anyone else, we have a privledge being here, unless I am asked by the moderator the ease up, then i'll keep it real.

RIP journey.

Yeah, I know. If they cared anything at all about how their fans (the ones who line their pockets) felt then, well, I guess we wouldn't need forums like this to vent.

Well, for what it's worth...I'm proud to say I haven't visited Jackass Talk in many years (even before it got banished)! The vast majority of the people (and the mods were the leading offenders) were offensive to me, as a Journey fan! Also, I can't say I was in attendance for the MR Fest! No Kum-By-Yah going on here


John from Boston

P.S. Fuck Jackass Talk!

[Moon Beam]

I love the sap as much as I do a good mud pie.
So what's the point in the band closing their site?
I have not a clue.
Makes no nevermind to me either way, I enjoy reading reading
here and at other sites.

True, and like I said earlier - I haven't seen so many declarations of being "done with Journey" since BackTalk after Augeri was let go. But there are no similarities, right? And JSS-onlies are not anything like Augeri-onlies. Right?

Now please feel free to rationalize how you are not be hypocritical for the rest of this thread. Posts should start with "It's not the same thing because ........"

There IS an actual difference between JSS and SA. As cool a guy as SA is/was. Jeff actually comes in here on a regular basis and hangs with people. It's called being a friend for the two douchnozzles that don't fucking get it. Jeff is as accessible as any one here. While SA was always willing to stop and talk to you if you caught him in a hallway or during his pre-show run, he never jumped into a message board and had discussions with the fans. That's why there seems to be so much more angst around here. Journey shit on a friend of all of us here. So I guess your saying you don't ever back up your friends when they get into undesirable situations?

Any one besides me wondering if this accessibility played a part in JSS's "downfall" with Journey?

[chf34jmac]

If it did, then the princess and the graduate of the fifth grade are even bigger losers than anyone could have thought.

Dude you never took a debate class did you. Your argument is weak.
Let it go already. Focus on the future. Support Jeff. Buy his CD's give them to friends and family. Go to shows. Ignore Journey.
But complaining about Journey on MR is not going to gain anyone anything.
You think Neal and Jon care a WHIT about what you are bitching about? They don't.
The best way to support Jeff is to get out there and SUPPORT him. Screaming on MR about how unfairly he was treated isn't supporting him, it is just bitching, there has been 6 months of it and many people are just sick of the whole thing.
Jeff is the future, just not of Journey. Let them go their Separate Ways and see who shines and comes out looking like the Champ here. It will be Jeff.

Great post Stu! Totally agree.

[ohsherrie]

Screaming on MR about how unfairly he was treated isn't supporting him, it is just bitching, there has been 6 months of it and many people are just sick of the whole thing.

So if we hate what they've done we should just keep our fingers off the keyboard and forget it? I could go for that, if the ones who want to keep supporting them do the same. This would essentially be a Journey Free Zone then. This board can't be a "whatever the people who use the name Journey want is fine" kind of forum as long as the name Journey is associated with it. They need to reopen BT for that.
