Perry vs Journey, err, UnJourney.

Folks, a lot of you on here think I am off my meds, completely insane and too harsh, you need to see what these same Heads here say on their Pro Perry sites. It's sickening.

Bashing Neal, Jon, and UNJourney...

I guarantee you, it will make you vomit.

Here is a rather tame one, with no registering-

My point is to keep the war here from erupting.

I swear, Perryheads, the moment you pop off here, I and a lot of others are going over there and DESTROYING those sites...


This is MY post, and has nothing to do with Andrew McNiece.

I told you Heads I would win. You bash "sock boy" you have earned an asskicking.

People, They applaud Deens ruptured chords, make ungodly fun of Augeri, call Neal a loser, and refer to him as "sock boy", saying he needs a bigger penis, and he can't lead, has no heart, is not close to Prince on the guitar and hopefully, UNJourney will disappear into the night.

They talk about the dismal attendance at this years shows(they're a bit off on this), and say Generations is Neal's legal bootleg.


I swear, if it gets worse, we need to go, and fuck with them....They asked for this; I will make sure they pay.

Dave, don't say a word. It's on.

Hey Deano,

Unfortunately, you have to register to view and I'd prefer not to register. I can imagine what they have to say though, especially if some of the "kids" that frequent those boards also post here.

Kids today...

By the way, it's ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT TO REGISTER.

I am telling you, reading their crap alone is worth the 3 minutes.

-Got sick and had to stop-ERIC

I'm not registered on any of those either, don't think I'll bother.

I think people forget these are actual human beings involved in this. If you don't like the music or singer that's one thing, but some of these are just slanderous, personal attacks which have nothing to do with musical abilities. Kind of reminds me of work.

This is not a "war"! First of all it's supposed to be about the music! All the members of Journey, past and present have made the music out of love and because they want us to enjoy it. I'm sure none of them would appreciate your declaration of war any more than the comments you're so concerend about. First of all, do you really think they read this stuff? They have a life and a job to do. Secondly, i'm sure they're all pretty used to it by now. You can't be famous and not hear crap. Next, Steve Perry gets more "crap" said about him than anyone and i'm a huge fan but God, who cares? I could give a s*** what anyone says about him, i'm still his fan. All this kind of s*** is so petty and monotnous! I'm from perryville and sure sometimes you get an obnoxios person who says something that someone finds objectionable, but it's the only site i post on because they are the nicest! Rarely will you hear any bashing. If the mods see it, it's gone. It would be nice if everyone was respectful of everyone else, in life in general, but they're not are they? If i went through this entire site, would i find nasty things said about anyone? I guarentee i would!!
The biggest point i'd like to make is the use of the word "WAR". You really nedd to rethink that. You're trying to instigate a WAR over a freakin' band when there are peolpe fighting and DYING in a real war for real reasons. This is not reason for WAR, this is not a WAR.
to say so is ridiculous!
Andrew, i don't know you nor have i read any other posts you've made but if this is indicitive of your personality and mind set, i would say, don't worry, be happy! Stop being so angry over MUSIC and make a positive contribution to the world, such as Journey's music!
I've had to rewrite and repost this because for some reason, the first one didn't show up on the page. Hopefully this one will and there won't end up being three of them from me. I only registered to address this post.

Let's dissect this shall we? It's about the music? Hello, it has been 20 years since perry sang for Journey. Journey continues, and you freaks don't like it, so you bash Journey, and hide behind the argument of "it's the music, I just don't like it."

I'm sure none of them would appreciate your declaration of war any more than the comments you're so concerend about. First of all, do you really think they read this stuff?

I know Neal would. He gets blasted every hour on YOUR site, so I am sure, ....no, I know, for a fact, because I spoke to the man himself, he appreciates my defense of the band.

Oh, by the way, I know 3 members of the band DO read this site while on the bus....

They have a life and a job to do.

Well, Neal, Jon, Ross, Deen and Augeri do, that is correct. Perry doesn't have a job.

I could give a s*** what anyone says about him, i'm still his fan. All this kind of s*** is so petty and monotnous!

Obviously you care what's said about him. I guess it's ok to smash the Hell out of "sock boy," but hands off Perry, right? F U.

I'm from perryville and sure sometimes you get an obnoxios person who says something that someone finds objectionable, but it's the only site i post on because they are the nicest!

Now I can officially call you a liar. I was there last night, and I read every thread and every post, and every single one of them was anti- Neal, and just sickening. At least here, we praise perry for his accomplishments and service. Over there, you applaud Deen's ruptured vocal chord. You are a cheap lying wench. How can you publicly admit you're from Perryville, without being embarrassed?

Rarely will you hear any bashing. If the mods see it, it's gone.

Yeah, you don't see any bashing of Precious perry, but like I said, EVERY post knocks the shit out of Neal Schon.

The biggest point i'd like to make is the use of the word "WAR". You really nedd to rethink that. You're trying to instigate a WAR over a freakin' band when there are peolpe fighting and DYING in a real war for real reasons. This is not reason for WAR, this is not a WAR.

Hey lady, don't talk to me about War. I served in 1990-1992, did you? You can slap all the flags and yellow ribbons you want on your car, but that doesn't give you the validity to to tell me, someone who was shot at, what war means. Are you retarded? This is a war here, and I plan on winning it.

Andrew, i don't know you nor have i read any other posts you've made but if this is indicitive of your personality and mind set, i would say, don't worry, be happy!

Andrew is a brand new father, and is the Owner of this site. He has NOTHING to do with this thread, or the posts within it. He is a bit busy at the moment.

I've had to rewrite and repost this because for some reason, the first one didn't show up on the page. Hopefully this one will and there won't end up being three of them from me. I only registered to address this post.

Unlike your sites, Andrew DOES NOT discriminate, or erases posts.

Nope, that's true. And Andrew has said he knows that or Perry criticisms play a big part in his denial of his holy grail, the Perry interview.

And he REFUSES to censor it anyway in the name of fairness and equity.

can't read any of these things. Can you copy/paste?

WTF?

I believe the board is being hacked again,,as we speak.....

It does seem like we're under sneak attack.
Did we alert Drew yet?

And post the Castronovo/Vocal chord gloat thread please if you can.

Say Dean, don't you think Eric's been through already?

These Perry Only kids...they need to stay on their own private boards where they can live in their own little fantasy worlds all the time.

Kids today...

Can you imagine what it would have been like for fans of VH/Roth/Hagar if the internet was around (or in massive usage) in 1985/86? When all parties involved were more or less household names and selling records?

Shudder to think.

Remeber the World Series? Well guess what I found out. Because of Perry's appearance at the Games, and only because of Steve, did you know Journey, excuse me, UNJourney extended the tour to ride the coatails of a Prince?

Here is your proof........



Did anyone see the announcement on BT that UNJ has just been scheduled to play in Chicago in December? Didn't take long for them to latch onto the momentum Steve has provided...ONCE AGAIN! Do you hear that sound???? It is the GIANT SUCKING SOUND of UNJ trying to take whatever Steve does away from him! I bet they book as many dates as possible in that area. They may have co-written that song, but they would have never gotten the same kind of attention or press that he got. NO WAY!


and the follow up to that one------------

I didn't see that at BT, Perrynow. Looks like Neal is trying to 'hit' off the White Sox. I hope he 'strikes out' big time!!! Just goes to show you what kind of guys Neal and Jon are. Leeches.

Hm.
Not UNlike releasing the Houst. DVD a month after Generations hits shelves and the Journey Gens tour was in full sway. BTW I saw an ad for that thing in a rag called "PASTE" and the header reads "JOURNEY...THE WAY YOU REMEMBER IT." Oh for chrissakes.

It wouldn't be this big, dude. This war will only grow....

God, these ladies are just so clever with their words...

They still refer to Journey as UnJourney? Huh...

UnJourney, now that is one of the GAYEST things I've seen. And I suppose the first three albums are "PREJourney"? Please. What does that make the Storm? DISJourney? Bad English? DATJourney?

These are not Journey fans. These are strictly Perry fans.

A real Journey fan, even if they haven't been happy the last few years without SP, wouldn't stoop to bashing Neal and Jon.

I must be weird, I've been a Journey fan since '85 and I still like 95% of EVERYTHING they've ever done.[/i]

It just gets better..

The National Anthem..At Denver, Neal and Jon played the Anthem. Well did you folks know Neal sucks? and Jon(Nancyboy, as he is called), is NOT talented?

Here ya go, another gem:-----------------


I can hear it now. While Neal does his worst Jimmy Hendrix impression playing our national anthem as Jon barely squeaks out the high parts---Jon tries to play "catch up" with the vocal because Neal flat doesn't care about the singer now, no matter who it is, and it therefore becomes one garbled mess...

I'd just love to know who told Jon he could sing in the first place?

My advice to anyone going to Denver to watch the basketball game? Invest in a good pair of ear muffs.


and the follow up------------------------------


I knew it, I knew it.! I told you Neal would do something.

Lee you are so right, Neal is nothing but a Hendrix wannabe. His version of the Star Spangled Banner is crap! I have the Hendrix version and Neal should be ashamed of what he does to it. (shaking my head) I can guarantee you that no on at that game will even know who they are. And you can bet that there will be pictures of Neal and Jon with either Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant or Phil Jackson floating around at BT. Give me a break!!!!

Neal and Jon remember Steve was invited, yours is just a publicity stunt.

I just thought of something, unlike other sporting events, the NBA usually doesn't show the playing ot the national anthem, so Neal and Jon may not get the air time they are looking for.

ok... I want these twits who continually refer to Journey as "UNJourney" to answer me a few questions:

1) If Steve Perry was so concerned about Jon and Neal using the name Journey after replacing him in 1998, why did he still use the Journey name after "replacing" Steve Smith and Ross Valory in the mid-80's?

2) If Journey is nothing without Steve Perry, why have FTLOSM and GH+5 sold less than half of what Street Talk has COMBINED? If Steve Perry is such a god, shouldn't he be able to sell records without Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain? Or is it just possible that STEVE PERRY is nothing without Journey as well?

3) I'd like to know why the great reunion album, Trial By Fire, has only sold maybe 200,000 copies since being SHIPPED PLATINUM in 1997. For the math impaired, that's 25k per year in the 8 years since. Arrival has sold around 190,000 copies since being released in 2001. That's about 50k per year.... without label support... with a new singer... and no promotion. How is that possible? Is it possible that without Sony's was of cash behind TBF, it wouldn't have gone platinum? I'd bet money on it.

4) How is it possible that Journey, without Primadonna Perry, had one of the top grossing concert tours in the US in 2001?

5) Who changed the ROR artwork?

6) Who called up who in 1996 and decided it was time to restart Journey?

7) Who uttered this ridiculous line? "I never really felt like part of the band".

8) Who has not done anything ON HIS OWN musically since releasing a GREATEST HITS (after one album?) album?

9) Who has hung his fans out to dry first for 10 years, then for another 8 since 1997?

10) Who has continually used music from a band that he is no longer part of, seemingly without the consent of the other members who are still part of the band?

11) Which person glomed onto the Chicago White Sox's success without including the other FOUR members of the band that made that song a success?

12) Which person has done nothing but make backhanded comments about the band as it stands now?

13) Which former member continues to live off his former success and not bother to communicate with his fans other than the occasional "I have a cat. My favorite color is blue. I LIKE TATER TOTS."?

14) When will your savior actually grant a tough interview? I'm tired of bullshit questions. Let's get to the real shit. "Steve, did you have the current members of Journey sign a contract forbidding them to use their own music without your consent?" "Are they not allowed to speak their mind about you?" "Did you ever plan on touring in 1997?" "If your hip was in such bad shape so you could not tour, how were you able to shoot a music video?" "Why couldn't you sit on a stool during the tour, I'm sure your fans would have loved to see the band after the 10 YEARS you made them wait." "Why did you all of a sudden get your hip replaced before the BTM? Were you trying to martyr yourself to the fans that obcessively follow you?" "Do you even give a shit about the fans anymore, or is it just about the money now?

15) When will your god stop thinking about touring (as he mentioned in the BTM) and actually start doing it?

16) Why is it ok for SP to use Journey songs in his FTLOSM tour, but Journey has to jump through hoops every single time they want to use the songs?

Fuck it, from now on he is UNPerry.

As in, unable to sing, unable to tour, unable to record new music, unable to function in the real world, unable to separate himself from Journey, Steve Perry.

Long live the king!

Holy CRAP!!
That's provacative material there.

Very nice Amaron.


I wonder, if Neal wanted to screw espee...and Journey stopped touring for a couple years, Perry would have ZERO income, not that he needs any....


Also, if Perry were to tour, stop laughing, and performed Journey songs, would Neal, Smitty, Valory, Cain, and even SA and Deen get money for that?

And could UnPerry use the name "Journey" without Neal's permission?

I am going to address this. Neal is, as I am thinking from hearing him on BTM, is a fan of Hendrix, and his take on the "Star Spangled Banner" is HIS OWN. I don't believe that he was trying to play it exactly like Hendrix. He was doing the song and making it his own, by the way HE wanted to play it. Which was good I might add.

And you say that it sounded crappy. Did you ever think that maybe the sound system wasn't designed for the guitars and keyboards? Just like the sound system wasn't designed for Perry singing DSB? I believe the sound system was for just calling out the game, not for the music.

Deano, got anymore posts to put here?

Perry will ALWAYS have an income, he probably makes over a hundred grand a month in royalties on "Lights" and "Lovin Touchin Squeezin" alone. Were Perry to tour, the only people that would get money from his performances would be Perry and his staff and promoters. Technically anyone who shares writing credit with Perry would get performance royalties, but not directly, it all comes out in the wash.

Perry using the name Journey reminds me of all that nightmare bullshit groups like The Temptations and The Four Tops go through with different people using the names and calling themselves "The Original Coasters!" or "Jerry Smith's Platters!" Kind of like the 2 guys from CCR having to call themselves Creedence Clearwater Revisited (hey, same acronym! How convenient!). Can you imagine 15 years from now, touring the country "Steve Perry's Journey," "Neal Schon's Journey Experience!" and "Ross Valory's Original Journey To Tomorrow Featuring Anysley Dunbar!"
