MR

Wake up man your songs are being butchered
Are you going to sit there and just watch?

Im sorry I have seen Jeff sing with JRNY vid only and Augeri is much better
That being said its time for Perry to get some balls and take his job back

This is now a joke
Jeff go back to singing Queen you did fine there

You can't yell JRNY songs you have to sing them
Even Perry yelled them on the Strange Journey tour until he settled down

Lets go Perry get off your ass.

Ahh, another satisfied customer One thing you have to realize before shooting your mouth off is there is a reason for EVERYTHING in life, some things you don't have the details or the reasons so you either make the choice to accept it or forget it. If Perry wanted to continue, he would have, if Augeri didn't have his voice issues, he would have. The band chose me to carry on what we're currently doing, not you or some American Idol show, they know what they're doing & I know what I'm doing...trust that we know what we're doing or go listen to the back catalog as those are your only 2 choices!

I won't get into anymore spars or matches here, a complete waste of time as they get nowhere except for people slinging shit at each other, I speak my peace & step out now.

Froy just put up his legs and swallowed a huge load.

Froy, your mom should have aborted your sorry ass.

You are a fuckin embarrassment. Take your slimy ass over the wall into the Twigs board and go suck off Dennis or Larry.

I figure this will be deleted, but then again Andrew has a 98 hour flight, 4 change of planes and all the lag that comes with it. This might be buried and lost.

I'm just glad I got the opportunity to experience it before it got deleted!

he's doing a hell of a lot better than I could do with the guys playing behind me. He's got balls, that pretty much puts you and I Froy at a different level as far as accomplishing this task.

,

Your right and the reason JRNY is running around touring is not for the love of the music
Its for the love of money plain and simple
Year after year doing the same show and the same 15 songs is simply ridiculous,

If Perry wanted to continue, he would have,

Perry is afraid to continue
Perry needs to get some confidence and he would be able to pull it off.
I witnessed Steve Perry on his last tour go from a hoarse sounding singer who yelled his way through songs to a guy who came right back to form just 3 months later at the Pantages Theater in LA
He was on fire.
Steve Perry needs to watch the movie Rocky , he needs to run out of his back door and start getting himself into shape to kick some ass
But why would Steve Perry want to come back when Neal keeps shipping in new clones to do his job?
The guy is getting slapped in the face every time you and your band take the stage,

The band chose me to carry on what we're currently doing

The band should have chose to put the bus in the barn and put this to sleep
Do we really need another guy singing for Steve Perry?
No offence to you I like your Queen stuff but you know what Freddie is gone Steve Perry is not,

I won't get into anymore spars or matches here, a complete waste of time as they get nowhere except for people slinging shit at each other, I speak my peace & step out now.

It 's nothing personal
Its a JRNY fan for 30 years who has now lost both STYX and JRNY to greed
It really stinks
Remember less is more.

I agree with this but... that outlook might change if they're really as enamored with JSS as everyone here claims. They might start doing it for the music again.

Opinions are like assholes....

The moral to my post is there are things you don't know nor will ever know, the kind of things that are not supposed to be public knowledge...nothing to do with greed or hatred, but everything to do with reasons why 'it is what it is'. This isn't worth arguing about, unless you're part of the 'inner circle', you really have no clue as to why things are what they are....as you said, Freddie is gone & that would be the easiest reason for Journey to continue as they are, but it just aint that simple. Nothing else I can say about it

And you know what Froy?, maybe just maybe.....
your the load your momma should have swallowed.

If Steve Perry sings again it's as good as bought for me
but if he don't I still enjoy tons of other artists.

I almost woke my drunk roommate laughing out loud at this one moon.

I am pretty sure that if JRNY did not do something for this current tour they would have been sued up the ass
Thats why I said to you you bailed them out
I think thats great
I also think that if you would have been in before Augeri I would have probably dug the show
You look like a great front man
You remind me of Ian Astbury of the Cult one of my favorite singers
But now you are copying Augeri who was coping Perry thats all Im saying
If you go down someone will copy you and you copied Augeri who copied Perry
When is it going to end
I say to you end it now

Let JRNY sleep next year and maybe Perry will get his act together
Thats all great to chat with ya,

No way Froy, take the above statement back, JSS sounds nothing like Ian Astbury! Ian Astbury has a great fucking voice and is fronting The Doors! Now that is a show worth seeing! Think before you speak Froy!!!


JSS,

Why should we not know what goes on behind the scenes??
Hell make it public then and only then we can end this charade!

Just a thought....

-So Journey performs, quoting here "Year after year doing the same show and the same 15 songs"
-Year after year, they still attract an audience
-If the singer is such a hinderance, then why do they still pull in the audience?
-Why is it that there are an awful lot of happy campers (and quite honest, they out number the unhappy campers?)

Just a thought, but if the audience is there, then why not perform the songs they want to hear? Also having been to several concerts, I've seen audience's eyes glaze over in many cases on the lesser known songs. So I could hardly blame Journey for sticking to the better known songs. Personally I've heard JSS sing and I like what I hear.

I'm a Steve Perry fan. The only reason I know of JSS is becasue he stepped up when he was asked to. Frankly, I'm glad he did. He is talented, the band is tighter, I like the change. I am now a fan of JSS as well. This isn't his first rodeo. He doesn't "yell" the songs, he sings them the way HE sings them. I've never heard a bad bootleg and his concert was impeccable...and you know what, as a vocalist, I know there can be bad nights. For Christ sake, leave the guy to do what he does best...entertain. If you dont like him, then dont listen. Cant you just be happy for Neal, Jon, Ross, and Deen? They are soooo much happier on that stage, have soooo much more energy, and they still get to entertain "fans" like yourself. Loosen up. Perry is never coming back to Journey. Thats ok...but dont try to slaughter the guy thats willing to bring Journey back to us!!!

JSS,

I truly believe that so much of this back and forth bullshit would be put to rest if somehow the full story would come out, both about Steve Perry and Steve Augeri. I want to see SP again, I make no apology for that, and am hoping against hope that one day he'll take the stage with Neal, Jon and Ross at least once. But you're right, it isn't worth arguing about, and I appreciate you taking the time to try to explain things that can't truly be explained.

Looking forward to seeing you guys in Baltimore. I haven't been this excited about a concert in a LONG time!

Jeff, froy and Monker aren't worth responding to. They are only here because the Styx board is a ghost town, so they are trying to stir up some shit where there are actual people reading the posts. Even if Perry was in the band, they would be posting how his voice is not as good as it used to be, blah blah blah. They are just chronic complainers.

Why post this here other than to stir up the hornet's nest? Perry isn't reading this. As TNC said, he's probably lounging on his sofa eating pork rinds or something to that effect. Keep your inane rantings on the Styx board where they'll only be read by yourself and Monker.

They're attention whores, PC. That's all.

Oh Shenandoah I long to hear you A------way you rolling river. I would love for Perry to sing again, but not with Journey. He's too old probably to be running around like he did back in the 70's and early 80's. I think JSS explained some important factors aswell "isn't worth arguing about, unless you're part of the 'inner circle" and we are not part of that circle, which I have been saying for years on end!, there are things taking place, things said, and done that we do not know anything about... I guess that's the price you pay for being a fan, that's life.

I wonder who their pimp is, 'cause they need to be slapped around and put back in line.

That's Deano's job, and he is damn good at it.

One thing people tend to forget is that not only is it "music",it is also "buisness".
If some one takes ill at your day job, do you close shop? Especially when your product is in demand!!

Since 1998 Journey has gone from playing small venues to sheds. Both as a package and by themselves.Bottom line is the fact that they can still put asses in seats, proves what Jon and Neal have said for years. It's about the songs, not about 1 member.
As much as I love Perry,he would be pissed that Journey is still out there no matter who was singing.If Perry wanted to be there he would.But why should he be there, when he is getting a cut of the touring revenue, as part of the settlement for them to carry on without him.I too hope Perry sings again, but it's obvious. It ain't happening!!

Steve A deserves his props for bringing a band that was dead in the water, back to life as a profitable entity.
Now that he has been sidelined,JSS has taken the reigns and has proven to be not only worthy, but also has done a stellar job.I have seen them twice now, and both shows were better than the last.JSS is not Perry or Augeri, he is his own man with his own style.
Thank God, he is.He has all the range of both, and the stage prescence of James Brown and Prince combined.He truly is the world's best kept secret, and has worked his ass of to be where he is.Like JSS said, if yo don't like it,don't listen.Most of us are psyched, that this band has a new engine, and can't wait for the prospect of some GREAT new music with JSS out front.
I am STOKED to see them again, and hopefully, I will see them in my hometown (Baltimore) in a few weeks.

Fuck the naysayers Jeff!! No need to get into a pissing contest, because some people don't get it and never will!!

So, froy doesn't like Journey as it is today. So what? I could care less about what froy likes or dislikes.

JSS,

I appreciate you going to bat for yourself!

It is just hysterical, with all that there is to do out in life, all there is to surf on the web, all there is to watch on TV....that clowns like Froy spend their time on a message board regarding something they DON"T like?

We are lovin what you are doing Jeff. Thank you very much!

Well said. I don't get that, either.

You should take your own advice if you don't like Styx or Journey anymore.

JSS you ROCK! Now let me say this i am a Perry fan that will never change......but he is not with them any more we have to move on. I did not care for S.A. because he was trying so hard to sound like Mr P. i feel sure he is a nice man. I have said in the past i would never see journey because Mr P was not there.I saw them 3 times with Mr P. so why should i see then now? Well i have heard JSS sing thenks Deano and others for leting me hear him. JSS is a cool guy and he is NOT trying to sound like Mr P. at all. We do NOT know what happened in the band i do NOT want to know. But let JSS get out there and let him do what he dose BEST and that is KICK ASS. If they ever get closer to me i AM going to see them & would love to meet JSS. I am off my soap box . Keep the music alive
