JEFF SCOTT SOTO Discusses His Dismissal From JOURNEY; Audio Available

I'll start dialing 911 since T-Bone is fanning the flames of hate again. Gonna sit back and watch this one. The JSS faithful are gonna lose it. I'm too pissed to comment specifically about that interview yet. Too many unorganized thoughts yet. Once I get them in order watch out.

Bah... It's on Blabbermouth. If I didn't post it, someone else would have

JSS newsletter had a link to hear the entire(Eddie Trunk) interview here...

(This is a different interview than the one linked above by T-Bone)

Sorry for the double post! I posted this in the Eddie Trunk thread too!

Watching that video from England...Hate all you want, but this band still gives me chills..especially Schon with that talking guitar of his... I can do without Friga's ultra gay tweet tweet keyboard sound on Faithfully at the 3 minute mark...Princess should stick to basic key playing.

Oh, the interview. Soto isn't stupid is he?

I just listened. What a beautiful, classy man this is. If only Journey deserved him.

No class... they just keep proving it.

Sounds like they all but hired and then backed out of the deal with Jeremey too...he hasn't heard from them at all in a month, probably never will one way or the other.

Sad... I used to love this band.

So they have not even spoken to Jeff since May?!! How can ANYONE still support this band? They are complete scumbags. Geezus, even if JSS is not your thing, you just don't treat people this way. Unbelievable. Long live Steve Perry's legacy. Classic Journey is all that is left for me. What a bunch of dicks.

move forward-don't look back. no regrets. that's pure class.

he's moved on--let go with him. GET TO THESE SHOWS!!

man o man--- wasn' it was fabulous while it lasted!! nothing can take that from us! (if we refuse to let it!)

and when Journey re-groups. let's do this




Find out what we've got left (including the band members) and move forward from there.

no regrets. (apologies always welcome, however)

What I can't understand is that not one Journey member has spoken to him since the last gig............not even to just say - "Listen Jeff, we're sorry but it's complicated." Not a word How can that be possible

We knew from the initial response by JSS about this but now, so many months down the line, still not a word.

It most certainly was fabulous and I've got the bootleg show DVDs to enjoy from it. Thank goodness for them.

That's something I guess I will never understand.
I thought Jeff and Neal were friends.. friends just dont do that. I guess it only goes to show what kind of people they really are.

Somebody, possibly St John, said on here a while back that Neal doesn't really know the meaning of friendship. I think this proves it.

Wow. I can't believe Neal and Jon would sink that low. I don't know what fans Neal and Jon were referring to but JSS was right, they out performed Def Leppard when I saw them in Buffalo. As far as I'm concerned, Jeff was doing Journey's legacy a favor by singing as good as he was.

I have been trying to say this to a select few supporters, but no one listens to me.

That was me, and this does prove it. He was raised on the road. Your "friends" are road whores, vices and the next gig. Neal Schon is a sad motherfucker. Minus his incredible ability to play the guitar, he is a fuckin' no one.

I saw Jeff with Journey 8 times and wouldn't trade the memories for anything in the world!

Have to say, listening to Jeff speak, you can tell he's got a really great positive energy. Just a nice classy guy.

It's shitty that Neal hasn't bothered to call Jeff, but it's not surprising. That's human nature. It's rare to find someone who will own up to doing something shitty. Guilt is easier avoided than owning up to and I'll bet that's what's happening here.

If Neal is scanning these threads, dude, step up man. Heal the pain. Jeff's a cool cat. Just give him a ring and get it all out. You'll feel better for it.

Here is a link to the audio for the Classic Metal Show interview...

Edit - yup that's the interview on Blabbermouth.

~Wendy

Deen's the one I'm most surprised/let down by, I think. Neal & Jon always struck me as hardened/seasoned, but I always got the impression Deen was more compassionate than that......surprises me that he hasn't called Jeff.

Interview was great. Classy guy, if he was bitter he could have said soooooo much more. He came across as classy, confident and happy......yet subtley casting a little grey cloud over the Journey org..........love it.
