MR

So many users here claim to know "the scoop" on the music industry, Journey, JSS, Augeri, Perry, etc. Other than Andrew, is there any users here who we should "always assume" is telling the truth? Who are the real insiders who know? I have a hard time telling who is just making stuff up or telling the truth?!?

RockinDeano appears know a fair bit. He's usually right when it comes to inside facts, he has connections i've noticed over the years. And I'm not being a smart ass either.

IMO there are probably quite a few people here do who have ‘inside’ knowledge of fragments of the truth, through contacts, friendships or personal situations. They generally keep quiet about the fact, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the information may be private and intended to be kept that way, and secondly it usually results in severe interrogation by other members here, or blatant denial, or argument. The facts then get lost in wave after wave of re-interpretation and further speculation. I can’t believe anybody who really cares about the band members etc (as people instead of idols) would want to be responsible for the free for all that ensues.

Of the people who do claim to have inside information, some are clearly making it up and speculating wildly, hoping that somebody else will rebut their claim and inadvertently let slip the real truth. Some may have a little knowledge but try to be careful in what they reveal for the reasons explained above. And some simply cannot contain themselves.

I agree it is difficult to know who does know things and who doesn’t, especially with contradictory ‘inside’ facts.

I don’t think anybody has complete ‘inside’ knowledge. Even if they directly know a band member well, it is unlikely they will be privy to all the goings on, and their knowledge is likely to be biased towards the person they know. Therefore any comments they make here should be read in that context.

When it comes to inside info, it's a safe bet that when Deano says something, he has good reason to do so.

Lora and Cyndy are very good resources too.

This has probaly been one of the top ten Q's asked on here in the last few months.And Mr.Moffatt said it best.But we have to remember because someone knows someone that is very low level in Azoff's office doesn't mean it is so.We have to remember not to believe everything that is wrote here because more than likely it is just mere table scraps.And of coarse it is the internet also you type it here doesn't make it so.The only reliable source here would be Lora Beard and Cyndy and of coarse Andrew.Beyond that,folks don't bank on it and don't be fooled.Like we have in the past.

The only source I would trust is Andrew, since he's actually in the music business.
Everyone else seem to be posers and seeking attention.

Well said, because with this band...credible information has a half life of about 10 days. So really, by the time it filters from the source through to people who have the inside track...the 'info' is already changed, undermined, whatever.

Hell, I wouldn't even believe something you see with your own eyes and ears out of this band...shit, if you've been a fan longer than 6 months, you'd know that too! (not directed at Red, but the general public)

LOL

That's a VERY valid point. It applies all over to this crazy ass business.
I've run an exclusive news story one day, only to have to retract it and look like an ass the very NEXT day - all because the members changed their minds over night!

Gotta be a story in all this...

Well, there's something in the back of my mind for sure....

I like how people claim to know everything yet they will never reveal how they know it, like it is a big secret where they got their info

Would like to hear, too.......love John Mellencamp!

No ,you're PATE'......

I've actually got the Platinum Records to back up my bona fides.
I started working for them in the 80's and left in the 00's.
Just because JT or Rocco doesn't like me doesn't discount anything I've ever done nor my connection to The Whole that is JOURNEY.

Between my work at Nocturne, then for Neal and his studio and finally Journey reincarnated, I've had my trial by fire.

As for my agenda, that would be simply to correct any blatant inaccuracy, fill in a technical blank or stand in defense of my name.

Allen, you should write a book, too: Journey-From the Inside. We hardcores will fall all over ourselves to get to it.
