Steve Put On A Show!!!!
I've seen Journey twice with Steve A as the frontman and it's amazing to me how a singer can wail out such great songs and keep up such a high level of energy and repoire with the fans at the same time. Journey fans got more than their money's worth with the summer tour. And you can't say that about band nowadays that go onstage and just go through the motions.

Oh and Allen...
I had words with you a long time ago, and they were inappropriate, and I apologized. Yeah, I've been a pain in the ass in BT but I haven't started ANY problems in here. As for you looking forward to "ESCORTING" me from the concert, I'm sure you would have had a few of your backstage buddies there right alongside you so I take that comment with a grain of salt.

Everyone who get to go this weekend,
I just wanted to tell you all to have a great time!!!! I will be thinking of you while I sit home (one block from the largest ammunition storage on the west coast makes me feel so safe)somebody has to hold the fort down. I know you all will have so much fun. I would love to go but my husband just gave me the look when I said it would be fun to go.Does anyone have back stage passes? I hope the next time Journey plays it will be a little closer to the west coast. Irvine would be best, but LA would work also. Be safe and have a great weekend!!!!!!

Bury The TROLLS!!!!
I sent an email to Dogman asking if there was any way this site could be moderated. Even better, if there was a way to set up a registration along the lines of Backtalk. That way the TROLLS wouldn't stand much of chance to vent their putrid nonsense and would disappear. Just a thought from someone who has been banned...eight times...from Backtalk.

A Little SA Fan
I have to tell you guys about a young SA fan, Spencer Shumway. He is about 12 or 13 and since he met SA a couple times at concerts this summer with his mom, Traci, Spencer is a huge SA fan. I met Traci this summer (and I do believe young Spencer was there too)& she is a remarkable lady--something like 11 kids she has including several foster children. Anyway, Spencer was in a very serious accident this weekend and apparently has a long recovery ahead of him. But the good part is that a couple Journey fans in the SLC area are helping Traci out by visiting Spencer in the hospital--he loves to talk Journey. As fate would have it, I just sent a copy of the Vegas show to one of these fans and she is taking it to Spencer. Now he can watch his hero, SA, on the VCR in his room. It seems he was quite disappointed there was no internet access because he loves the Journey message boards. Long story short, people sometimes say these message boards are stupid and Journey fans are . . . blah, blah, but I have met some amazing folks at Journey concerts. And the power of music and Journey is helping a young man recover. Pretty cool, I think.

JUST COMMON SENSE!
Love Perry's voice...yes. Love Augeri's voice, heart and work ethic.....absolutely. Hate Sony's lack of common sense...never ending. As a Journey fan, either the new lineup is good or it is not. Picture today's Perry (not a dream that we all have in our heads) singing Remember Me and Higher Place....not (he couldn't even hit his own notes today to say the least of Augeri's). Am I trying to start a war that was already started by Perry worshipers (remember that there is only one true God). I listen to Perry's OLD material ALL the time. Why try to drag down the ship whenever the old captain doesn't have the skill (unless we are talking slow love songs and NOTHING else) or the WILL to take the ship out to new horizons?????? Not trying to get you riled up but...face the truth, the facts and stop slamming Augeri for taking a job that would not have been available if Perry truly wanted to go on tour or continue recording. Having said this....how long have you been a Journey fan and do you even half of the Perry recordings that I have???????

Journey DVD 12/11/01,
Pick up a copy and stop denying the amazing talent, the soul and the DVD that will put you in a trance. TROLLS DO NOT BUY THIS DVD (TROLL DISCLAIMER: IF YOU PURCHASE THIS DVD YOU MAY ACTUALLY BECOME A POSITIVE PERSON AND BE A HAPPY INDIVIDUAL WHILE YOU VIEW THIS DVD! Hopefully the effects will not be long lasting and you can submerge back into the depths of your misery. That was mean....I hope that you do become positive and are able to smile in the present. A life living in the past is a horrible thing to waste. Be a positive influence in the lives that you touch today or you will be a ???????? one.

EHJ,
You are absolutely on target. I have and always will enjoy the past Journey recordings. If I didn't, I would be just as idiotic as some of the lunatics that seek to destroy the current lineup and all that they have to offer. So there is an extremely talented lead singer. Judge his contributions to the music. Judge the lyrics, soul and amazing skills of this band. Many of the most ardent critics of the new lineup wouldn't even dare give these guys a chance. But, true Journey fans listen with a neutral "Show me what you've got attitude" and then judge. If Perry EVER releases something new.....for the umpteenth time, I will have it before some of these idiots that claim that he is the only "savior for Journey". There is and always will be only one that we should hold high. If there is ever another lead singer for this band, I will go through the same PAINFUL evaluation process that I went through with Augeri. I have listened to extremely talented singers that didn't have one of the best songwriters of all time (Cain) or one of the best guitarist (Schon) collaborating with them. These singers are forgettable.

Hi Steve, just stopping in to say a quick hello and hope that you have a safe and fun trip this week-end. To everyone going to the shows in Atlanta and Dallas, have a great time! Steve, I am looking forward to the DVD release in December, my VHS tape is about shot. Hope to see you drop by here after the shows this week end and give us a story or two from the tour this summer. I am sure you can think of one or two to share us:) Take care and thanks for the music!

Thank You Steve A!!!!
After a very bad day I picked up my son from daycare and found a note in his back pack that a sweet 6 year old boy from my sons school had lost his battle with leukemia on Monday. This little boy had pulled our community together by letting us help his family with food, toys,a blood drive and bone marrow testing. I sat down and cryed. My wonderful husband came home gave me a hug and told me to go to Petco for dog food. On my way back I put Tall Stories in and headed for a long drive down PCH. Thank You Steve for the escape! I was able to pull myself together go home and listen to my son read and thank God that I have a healthy family, and everything else will work out in time.

A little more about the DVD
The official website lists a little more info about that long-awaited DVD. The best thing is that it will also be on VHS--yipeeee!!! I don't have to shell out for a DVD player yet. (you can take that off my Christmas present list, EH J) Now, the part that is a little disappointing is that it is confirmed it will only be the Vegas Mandalay Bay show. There was some talk that it might include some stuff from this summer's tour. If you ask me the band got better and better all summer, so I would have like to have seen some of that, but--Vegas show is good also! (Release date=12/11/01 106 min. length)

SONY REALLY, REALLY, REALLY SUCKS!
I have told SONY this personally SEVERAL times (can't even post on Back Talk anymore). NO ARRIVAL AT RADIO STATIONS, COLUMBIA HOUSE, OR BMG!! Now come on you unintelligent MORONIC IDIOTS, how is the album supposed to sell if no one even knows that it exists? Well, uh... you know if Perry were singing they would buy it anyway you know uhhhhhhhh! Not if they CAN'T EVEN FIND IT!!! Sony sucks they really, truly beyond a doubt do in a BIG way. The only people that suffer besides the band are the countless people that will never be gifted to hear this great album bring positive, talented energy into their lives. For those that buy Essential Journey, you only feed the fact that even though a Journey fan already has the material, we will get even richer because the Journey fan will buy it over and over again so, why support this new Journey stuff?

EXCUSES
Get a life Ragin, people know about the album. What about all of the so called sold out shows that Journey had over the summer. It was a large tour and evidently NONE of the REAL Journey fans have chose to buy the album. They all know about it. Very FEW albums are promoted heavily , it is an excuse for the fact that the album lost all relevance when they decided to become a cover band...

Hi Steve: I first saw you w/the group in April on DIRECT TV from a filming in December of 2000 in Las Vegas. While you sound so much like Steve Perry & yes I liked the music, you really added some spice to the act & made this old woman sit up & take notice. Needless to say, you are hot. I went to the concert in Sacramento & thoroughly enjoyed myself. I am now 51 & I never was inclined to see the group before. I am glad I did. You really shake things up. Keep on rockin'!

What are you talking about REAL FANS? We are not real fans because we like the new band members and the old band members? I do believe if anyone needs to get a life it is you. Why do you continue to come here and harass people? Nobody is making you listen to Arrival. If you do not like it don't listen to it, and quit putting people down because they do like it. What is your point? (Sorry to the rest of the board for feeding this troll but we all have our limits)

Sony did all they could
Sony did everything to push album but radio stations did not think the music was worth playing because journey was nothing more than a cover band,the album did not sell at all during it's first few weeks of release when it was being played on the radio there were very few requests for for higher place so there was no need to promote something that would never sell any way the only way journey could survive is to allow steve perry to take over the band and send steve augeri back where he belongs:the minor leagues.

Atlanta=worth the trip
The Atlanta Benefit concert was truly a special concert. The venue was basically sold out--15,000+. It started with some all-star types of bands with members from Styx, Waite, REO, Johnny Winter played, etc.(no Journey yet). Then they got into the major bands in the following order: Waite, REO, Bad Company, Journey, Styx, & Leonard Skynard. In between the sets there were acoustic sets from various artists. Journey did an unbelievably priceless acoustic version of Trial By Fire and Liberty. Steve was amazing. He dedicated it to one of the NYC fire companies. A very touching moment. I won't go into all the other bands--but they were great. The audience was pretty into Leonard Skynard, so not a typical Journey audience, but they still got into the classics. Journey's set began just like the Vegas tape--in the dark, Neal guitar then into Separate Ways. Steve was working the crowd and they responded--even though at least a couple people seemed to think he was just Steve Perry who had gotten better looking. In my opinion Steve was best on Lovin, Touchin', Squeezin'. I don't know how this Italian white boy can sing the blues like that, but he can. They were only on about 45 mins because there were so many bands. Steve also sang a little acoustic thing with Kevin Cronin and some Styx guys. At the end all the bands come out and do God Bless Amercica--then confetti falls down on the audience! Great ending. It was a great show that earned lots of money for charity and Journey was great. Drew Carey was kinda cool too. I'm glad I did not try to make Dallas too, though because Atlanta went on from 3:30 pm to midnight and I am sick of traveling!

Taped for Future Airing
Connie--you know I was really hoping it was taped for future airing, but no one said anything about it at the show. The video seemed more complicated than it normally is at the concerts with fading shots, etc. and the camera people were really going to great lengths to get super shots. Even though I was 6th row I kep looking up at the screens to see what the shots were because they were so good. I don't think it was Journey's crew videotaping it--at least I didn't recognize them. It would make a great video, especially if the money could go to charity. Journey had a couple audio glitches--some kind of feedback briefly, but that could probably be fixed in post-production. Some of the other acts, like Edgar Winter & Styx, also had a few audio problems. I am hoping for a tape! Maybe they could take the best of the Atlanta and Dallas shows and release them--that would be very cool! I think a lot of the other benefits are being released on tape & CD.

To Mr. (Un)Reality
Yes, I think there are some people who cared about the concerts in Atlanta and Dallas. I think the 30,000 fans who bought tickets to these two events cared. I think the NY Port Authority Officers who addressed the crowds at both shows cared, as did their fallen brother's families. I think the NYC Fire Dept. cared that the concerts honored their fallen brothers. I think the families of the victims for whom these concerts were held cared about the concerts. You should be ashamed of yourself for trivializing the efforts of artists who are contributing their time, energy, resources and talent to honor the victims of the 9/11 tragedies and to raise money for the families of the victims. What have you done for anybody lately except create negativity?

And What is Reality Now?
Yes, friends - what is our reality now? We have all found ourselves to be vulnerable. We never expected that. We have all found that we can collectively care in public and that is no disgrace, nor is it an unmanly thing to weep. It is not bizarre to hug a stranger - to say a kind word, to care. What is our reality now? We all contribute at whatever level we can. We lift our voices in song - if we can. We appreciate those who do? We listen even more closely for words that we did not hear before with new ears and the words have new meaning. We appreciate each other more. We thank those who take the time to share and vicariously enjoy that which we cannot get to as easliy as before. We stop to listen and to say what we think from the heart. We awaken from the typical bustle of the day and are appreciative that we have a chance for another day - and hope that we make the world better by having that day. We do some of those things that we said that we would some day get around to. This is our reality now. It matters not who sings better - but that they sing at all. We remember to say thank you . . . you are appreciated . . . I can help . . . That is a small part of reality now.

PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A SONY REP,
Actually, you have the intelligence to actually work for them. How can an album sell whenever BMG, and Columbia House don't even have the album even if you wanted to buy it??? I don't actually expect you to respond because you probably will attack under another name. A gutless and pathetic worm or troll(whatever you prefer). You have no facts. If you want respect, then earn it with intelligent, and acountable posts (stop changing your name). Listen to the album and actually see what you are attacking. Stand up for something in your life besides hate.

Good News
I just read on the REO site that the Benefit Concerts in Atlanta and Dallas raised even more money than they expected! That's great news. All the bands deserve a big thanks for participating in these benefits. And, of course, a special thanks to Steve A(wesome). Speaking of good news, did everyone hear that VH1 is airing an expanded "director's cut" of Journey's BTM? This should be very interesting. It airs this Sunday 10/28--I'll be watching.

I will be taping the VH1 BTM, I have a holloween party to go to for my son. The party should be cute but I will keep thinking about getting home to watch the show. It will be interesting to see the expanded version. Thanks for letting us know LA!

Where is " Arrival"
In the gutter, with the other musical garbage . Sold about 140,000 copies. I think that is less than a willie nelson album would sell. Sickening and you idiots contribute to it with your blind following of the new " cover band". Get real!!!

I never catch up on my sleep. You can sleep when you're dead. I am waiting for the Journey store to open--they are having a sale starting tonight. You want to buy anything? Arrival Tour t-shirt, hockey jersey? Autographed drumsticks? I bet you want the hockey jersey--they are very cute and very expensive. Then, I think I am going to see Neal in S.F. this Friday--maybe. He is playing at the Fillmore with Sy Klops and I want to hear if Herbie can sing or what. Very inconvenient time though. What's new in Canada, Eh J?

Don't Blame Sony
I see all the regulars are blaming sony for arrival not selling but the way i see it is people are just not interested in journey without steve perry at least new music anyway i thought arrival was ok and i saw journey in syracuse this year and the new music got a luke warm reaction most people just wanted to hear the old stuff which is acceptable because the new guy sounds just like perry.I can't see sony or any other record label supporting another release without perry and i think another tour with augeri would fail.It's time for journey to either pack it in or bring in perry for the tour weve all been waiting for.
THE TRUTH
Oct 25, 2001  at  15:55
 
 
To The Truth
The Truth - "the new guy sounds just like perry" If he sounds just like Perry, then why do they need Perry back??? SA's singing all the songs that Perry did, sounding just like him, you said so yourself. So why bring back Perry & all his baggage??? And I don't know about you, but I'm not getting any younger & really don't want to wait 3-4 years to see if a tour with Perry would ever come true. At least we know SA can tour & is willing to tour. And as for the new material getting a lukewarm reception, that is because probably most of the crowd had not heard it. I know when I see a concert & the band plays a new song I'm usually more laid back, listening to the song, trying to catch the words. Just because I'm not jumping up & down doesn't mean I don't like it.

STEVE AUGERI is great for Journey.....
For one simple fact that Joruney actually was able to go out and play the music that we love.. Since Mr Augeri sounds like Steve Perry that makes it all the better, because he does the classics how they should be done and the Arrival CD had a more edgy sound to it. If you are not sold yet on Augeri's quality then purchase the DVD and a Tall Stories CD......you will be won over! :) We don't dislike Perry at all.. Its just that most people have to grow up and realize he is not going to be back for a long while if ever.. Rick

Some of these posts make me cringe
I am a Perry fan, but I would NEVER come to another board and behave the way some so-called fans have here. The person or people who are calling other people names and using foul language do NOT represent the multitude of Perry's fans. Many, like myself, have come to accept Steve Augeri as the new lead singer, and think that he's doing a fine job of keeping the torch lit, so to speak. I take offense at the people who lump all Perryheads with the few who take delight in making trouble. I would never condone such behavior, and I'm sure that Steve Perry would feel the same way. Those of you that have seen me on other boards know that I have been supportive of the band, and have not said anything that might be interpreted as bashing. I am thoroughly ashamed of these trolls (yes, that is a good name for them), and wish whole-heartedly that they would just disappear.

Thanks Joy--Tyketto's Shine is fabulous
Hey Joy--thanks for letting me know about Tyketto's Shine. I just got the CD today and it is great! The mix is a little Neal Schonish (guitar too loud) but other than that it's pretty cool. I especially like I Won't Cry. I like the bluesy ones best. I think SA's voice & style fits those kinds of songs better than the ballads. I wish Journey would do more of the bluesy ones and maybe forget the Open Arms stuff--time to retire some of those ballads. Now I have a whole CD of SA singing that is new to my ears. And just in time for a long drive to San Francisco! Thanks again.

Lucy/Steve/mean people
it's all so sad :( isn't there enough to deal with in the world right now without all this bad, mean stuff? I mean, I know life goes on, but, 'life' has been changed , it has, and it's no longer about hatred and condeming another soul for something so insignificant in YOUR life..yet very significant in HIS (SA's) life....it's about support and kindness to one another. It's not about ignoring the fact that terrible things are going on in the world and the number one priority is pummeling SA with slander and then using vile language towards those that support him. It's about being happy for your fellow man when good things shine down. Lord knows that these days good things are far and few. Stevie A....you've got my support and so does the Journey domain in it's entirety. To the trolls, go ahead, trash away. Sticks and stones are the least of mine or anyones worries these days. wasting your time in vainful attempts to 'hurt' SA is just that, a waste of your time. It's obvious that your life is empty without Steve Perry. I think you should spend more time trying to actually FIND Mr. Perry rather than dragging yourself around on the edge of his septic tank. Lucy....I miss you. Please let us know you are okay. Friendship never ends, no matter what is going on. NO MATTER WHAT! Steve.......I hate to ask, but, could you please pass the yams again? It's just so awful here. We need a little of your class and good energy to pick us all up off our pittiful bottoms. I for one know that I will be able to see your smile in your post and that is something that is well needed around here these days.

VH1
I was happy to see the band’s original keyboardist and co-founder, Gregg Rolie participate in the special. JC: Gregg was a pioneer. Gregg had a lot of vision in the early days sitting down with Santana and taking a Peter Green song and fusing from the street a totally bad hombres version of Santana. What he did in Santana for a white boy was amazing. You gotta look at that and go, “Wow!” That happened way back in the very beginning. When you think about funk, you think about Tower Of Power. When you think about Latin rock, you think about Santana. And Gregg was certainly at the helm of that and his influences were strong. Did you learn anything about ex-lead singer, Steve Perry after seeing him interviewed for the special? JC: No, I didn’t learn anything. It was the same story pretty much. It was very shocking for him to publicly admit something that I think was an issue when I joined the band and that was that he never felt like a member, which was just the most ludicrous thing I ever heard. For him to have actually said that aloud certainly he thought that and I knew he thought that but I didn’t think he’d ever make a public statement. I wonder why he always felt like an outsider? JC: It’s tough. You have to look at where he came from, his family,his mom passing away. It’s hard for me to talk for him. I can only tell you that he refused to accept Journey as a family entity and Neil (Schon) and (Gregg) Rolie really didn’t want a lead singer in the beginning. If you watch the special really carefully you can see (Journey manager) Herbie (Herbert) call that shots and overrule what Gregg and Neil really wanted. Remember when he said, “I don’t care what you guys want; he’s in the band.” Did you miss that? No, I didn’t. JC: Well, that was a big piece of the puzzle right there. From the very beginning, Gregg and Neil really liked what they were doing and didn’t want to be what Herbie wanted to be. But for their own existence and for Journey’s survival they had to change with the times. And the times were a singer of magnitude ala Boston and all these other bands, Kansas, Foreigner. They all had singers of pretty good chops, so enter Steve Perry. I think maybe that’s one of the things. Maybe there was that underlying “We’ll put up with you” kind of thing. I don’t know. I sensed it when I joined the band. He had created this dynasty of excellence in his singing and style. He really cut out a territory for himself that was his and his alone and no one could dispute that. No one in the camp at my entrance gave any indication that he was any less than an integral part of the unit. I never felt from Herbie that he was less than mega important. I think Herbie was always square with him; Herbie was always fair to him. He shared everything with the band; he was a member of that band. So that’s the part that was amazing to me. Herbie made him, twenty, thirty million dollars and for him to say that he wasn’t a member is kind of strange. Why do you feel Journey never got the respect they deserve from critics? JC: Part of the thing had to do with having a Top 40 hit. When you have a hit in the Top 40 and it succeeds in going Top 10 it’s almost a kiss of death in the rock world. We had many hits. We used to dabble in many places and it was probably because we weren’t afraid to try different things. We were raised on radio that went from rock to ballads to soul. We didn’t want it to be the same mantra on the whole album. So a lot of our albums were full of different colors. That’s why Escape was so successful. I don’t think rock bands before that would take a shot with a song like “Open Arms.” They’d go, “Man, what are we going to do with this?” Most bands would be scared to death to put that out because of their rock credibility, quote unquote. But in the end a great song is a great song. In Journey we were kind of like Rod Stewart and (Frank) Sinatra in the sense that if a great song came into our camp it was going on the album. So we weren’t so concerned with styling and posturing and our image. We were more excited about getting our songs on the radio and being a success and having that experience of having a hit. (Steve) Perry and I were really hit driven. We were sort of crazy; if we didn’t have a hit we weren’t happy. He and I were obsessed back in the Eighties that we would indeed have a hit single. And that’s why the critics hated us because we were very, very in love with radio. So we kind of just did that and that’s what made it fly for us. We saw the power that it had for us. It separated us from these other bands, especially when you have a singer like Steve Perry who can sing a love ballad, someone who belongs in an arena singing a love ballad. So that’s being what you are on one hand and reaching for the sky on the other hand. I’m sure a lot of bands didn’t think like we thought but that was our mindset at the time. And Neil Schon was taken back by the whole hit thing. He was the rocker. He was the fireside of our stuff. He put himself in these songs and slowly became part of the sound. So now accepting this twenty years later, he has to realize that he actually helped pioneer something like this. We were just a street band that was in love with making radio records, that’s all (laughs).

Now forgetting about trolls--I saw Neal at the Fillmore yesterday. If you get a chance to see this band Trichromes--go see them. Herbie Herbert (Sy Klopps) is the vocalist and he is actually good! (He is no SA, but still good.) The guys look like they are having such fun. Neal is amazing--so incredibly talented. I wish he could play more new, different material with Journey. The Trichromes are supposed to do at least a few more shows--so catch them if you can! I'd love to see SA stretch his wings a little, if the time is right. Hook up with some east coast buds, play a few smaller shows for fun. That would be awesome.

No Tail's Tour
It's easy to tell without even reading the name on the album ,also It caught "The New Journey" on the VH1 Classics channel today. If they where so good without Perry, why did they have to hire a sound alike? It is a slap in the face to both Steve Perry and the talented guys in this group, not to mention how Augeri must feel! I have no interest in seeing Journey without Steve Perry put him where he belongs, in Journey

The 1980's
Hey little Troll, you actually have a minor point about moving out of the 1980's. After hearing Neal at the Fillmore--that man has so much more talent, range and versatility than anything he can show in performing the Journey classics over & over. Listening to SA sing Livin' To Do, Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin', I Won't Cry--that man has so much more talent, range and versatility than what he can show in singing Faithfully again & again--even if it is a great song. I am hoping Journey can get to the point where they switch the ratio at a show--10% classics & 90% new material. I am not sure that is financially feasible when a tour is sponsored by VH1 Classics, but I am ready for it and so are a lot of other fans. So, troll, I'm with you on moving out of the 80's.

I am a huge Journey fan and after seeing them in concert in Dallas a couple of years ago, I became a more devoted fan. Steve Augeri was amazing. This summer I had the pleasure of seeing them in Dallas again. And, I had 3rd row seats which was very difficult considering I was a "starving college student at the time." I spent three weeks pay for those tickets and took my best friend. We had so much fun. Steve has such an awesome stage presence and voice, and unfortunately a wedding band! :( Congrats to Journey and a successful summer tour. keep up the great work Steve!!

A major thank-you to Steve
I had the absolute pleasure of spending some time with Steve in Reno talking to him about his life and family. It was absolutely a memory I will carry forever. He is the most genuine compassionate man in a business that does not always favor that attitude. I just happen to come to the this site and I must say that it seems like alot of time is wasted on the computer at many sites just being ignorant, if a person does'nt care for someone why do they waste energy on negativity. I love Steve Perry as well and respect his right to live his life as he sees fit, Steve Augeri did not care for the people who were running him done, it shows a complete lack of inteligence. If it were not for the circumstances that happened to Steve Perry Steve Augeri would still be working at the Gap, but instead as he said to me he is finally able to achieve his life long dream, to sing and sing he does I went to three concerts this summer and have the best pictures the best hugs and the very best memories that will take me All The Way Faithfully music should be positive and make you feel good about life not negative, so when I read negative posts at different places I feel nothing but empathy for those whose lives have lost the meaning they were intended to have, Steve if you ever go to these sites, thanks for being so nice to my friend at Shoreline who gave you my note and thank-you card at the after show party, again Reno was a blast thanks for that great surprise you gave us, it was awesome, my talk with you was amazing and my hug is still warm, hoping you, Lydia, and Adam and family are safe and were not harmed in the tragedy in New York, I wanted so much to see you in Dallas, but could'nt work it out, what about a video of that to raise more money for Volunteers For America? Please rest enjoy your family, it has to feel great for the tour to have gone so well and be back home with your family, but hurry back we love and miss you,

He didn't give any details, just said it was happening, so hopefully it will show up soon. I know I will be buying it.

French Venus,
There are alot of Perry fans on this forum. Thanks for some common sense in the world of Perry fans. We just don't worship him as some people do. All of us must answer for our actions no matter how loud we curse, attack and hate others.

The more things change.... D, Joy, G, Amber, Nunz, 49er... I tell ya, if it weren't for you and a FEW others I wouldn't even bother. All of this Augeri/Perry sucks crap. Hey here's a novel idea, start your own message board and then you can discuss the finer points of suckiness amongst yourselves. Hello Lucy... time for you to come hooooooome.... The Nat'l freakin' Anthem, WTG SA!!!! I wonder if there is a boot of this floating around *g*

BTM-Director's Cut
So did everyone catch VH1 Behind the Music Director's Cut last night? We all owe a little thanks to Liz Cain, I think for having that Tall Stories CD around. Now what is this about SA swearing at Neal when he called? Never heard that version before--HA! Nice that SA was allowed to finish a couple sentences this time around. I still would like to hear a little more about SA and anything about Deen, but their stories are happy ones and don't quite fit the tortured format of these BTMs. This BTM at least makes the story of the band a little bit more understandable, although I still think there is a lot more to the saga than we will ever hear. They just need Herbie back is all I can say.

just posting...
Caught the BTM show last night 10.28 Loved it.. finally some "answers" instead of sound bites.. Maybe the critics of Journey will lighten up a bit.. As I always SAY>> JOURNEY was NEVER STEVE PERRYS to say "don't fracture" AS it was never-- ever Perrys Band.. Jon and Neal made the correct call by going after Augeri.. He ROCKS.. Can't wait for CD #2. Just hope we dont have to wait for three years.. Rick

BTM
I liked this BTM (I liked the other one also). I learned a lot about the the band in the beginnig that I did not know before. I thought that the part how Liz had the Tall Stories CD was good, I had never heard that before either. My husband watched the last 45mins with me and it helped him change his mind (just a little bit) about the new line up. He was not for it, but he is not much of a Journey fan either. Now maybe he will listen to Arrival with me sometime (I am not holding my breath). I may start him out with Tall Stories first. I wish they would have had some more of Deen, but it was really cool that SA had more time this time around. Thanks LA Woman for telling us about Neal and the Trichromes (did I get that ok) I will be watching the OC venues let me know if you see anything for LA.

BTM Comments
I found this show to be enlightening. Actually, I was able to understand better some of the comments that are made by the militant Steve Perry followers, but I think that Steve Perry obviously made his own decisions and created the atmosphere that brought about that final decision by Jon and Neal to go ahead with a new voice at the front. I enjoyed the insights. I also thought that one of the comments by LAWoman - was very telling: . . .but their stories are happy ones and don't quite fit the tortured format of these BTMs . . . Actually there are no evident dead bodies, no tortures with heroin, no bizarre behaviors, just the desire to make good music - and having made good music, taking it on the road. Just a brief look at Deen and Steve A. Could have tolerated more of that, but perhaps the light is too bright there, and the days are too joyful. Again, thanks for posting the date of the BTM on this discussion board so we can all be aware and watch! I too add my thanks to Steve Augeri and Deen who made this time a happy time and who dared to sing the words: . . ."Empty words, and promises made I’m not that way Broken trust... A failure in faith I’m not that way I’m not that way ‘Cause life’s too short for wastin’ Wastin’ precious time" . . . Thank you all!

Jumping into the fray
Rick, don't take this as a flame but I don't recall Perry stating it was his band in referance to the "don't fracture Journey" comment... I do recall Jon saying "Here's this guy... Neal wanted his band back". If anything Journey was Herbie's band. He set out to structure a band around Neal Schon, which he did & up until a point he controlled the band... and the rest, as they say is history. Bottom line what is done is done & regardless of what Perry, Neal, Jon or my grandmother did in the past, it all brings us to where we are now. Waiting to hear word of what is next up for the band, this is just my opinion I could be wrong... BTW, why are we talking about who's band it is anyhow on a message board designated to discussion of Steve Augeri? (OK Krista why even ask a completely pointless question) Off to get out that copy of Tall Stories, damn TV show, been singing Wild On The Run all day now!

BTM.....
After watching the BTM #2, I thought it was much better than the first one,,,,,,,,,,although, I wished they had given Steve A and Deen a little more time. The feeling I got after listening to Steve talk about the Gap and his job there, was one of total respect. I get this feeling that he is so down to earth.......just a kind of guy that appreciates all that is given to him in life......and in this day and age, that is hard to find!! Deen always brings a smile to my face.........he reminds me of someone who, no matter how dark and gloomy it is outside......he always shines....

Tall Stories
OMG, all this talk about Tall Stories brought up such a happy memory for me. 49er, G, Krista, Donna (Double D & Amber I think were off tanning or burning, LOL), remember Amber's front yard, August '99. Front door wide open, us blasting Tall Stories from the stereo, the weird looks from neighbors like we'd overtaken the "B" household. Ahhhh, it don't get much better than that. And it's a memory that's etched in my mind for all time.

krista..
Hi Krista.. no problem.. no water needed.. you make valid points.I guess my biggest gripe with Perrys comments was that he said not to FRACTURE JOURNEY's name....To me the current line up does not fracture the name and group Journey at all.. which is what many of Perry only followers think is going on because to them Mr. Perry can do no wrong and take what he says literally.. as Both sides of the argument are passionate about the musc we all LOVE. again MHO only..

How can you say that the Perryheads think Perry does no wrong?Was it Neal that said on BTM that they let Perry run the band?So i would think that with Neal and the rest of the band are as much at fault.In being a Perryhead,i think Perry is as much to blame as the rest of the band.Would you think so?It takes two to fight and if you wonna be fair why is Jon , Neal and Ross going against Perry?they have what they want now and thats control over the band.So now that they have that,why don't they just leave things alone and go on with their band.

Oh Joy, how much fun that was sitting in the sun in sunny California!! That was when I first heard Mr Augeri's other cd's. Now, I can't get them away from the Mr.!!! All I can say is that MR SA has taken my Journey a little farther down the road and a little longer in my life. For this I greatly appreciate every moment more that "our Journey" keeps on going. Oh and Yes I did write the Yankees about SA singing! LOL!!! I just want them to read SA's feelings about the Yankees he had posted here. Gotta find it now.

To Fried Eggs, Niner Winer and my Joifriend.....the memories do not get ANY better than that. You all are my dearest friends and confidants...for a life time ;) The front yard memories (among many) are memories that kept me afloat during a particularly difficult time in my life and for that, I am ever greatful. It is YOU girls that are my true friends......girls rock :) There is a girl that specially brought me up from the snake pit...thank you my dear one :) And a Tall story that was such a surprise...MY GIRL KC shows her BEAUTIFUL face! SURPRISE AMBAH!!!!! How much taller and much happier can one get???????? My dearest dearest friend decides to walk thru my front door...and I met her on a Journey Board.... Talk about a HOME full of LOVE. WOW.... i was overcome with the most beautiful love that one band could ever bring to a human girl in her entire life time! I am BEYOND blessed with the most desired and ENVIED friendships that any could ask for...and I thank you Steve A and the Journey Camp. Without Journey, I would never have met such a rock solid support group in my life. It WILL go on without Journey, but, I could not have gathered a finer group of loved ones than the ones that JOURNEY shared with me :) Tall Stories....my neighbors still tell me stories of you all in my yard while Dee and I snuck some sunny moments. I smile and cry as I hear the love and the sweetness that you guys brought to my home :) Speaking of TALL STORIES, those stories are THE tallest in my mind...forever. I love you guys. The pictures are etched. Especially the one that you took of my Chynna Girls Shampooed Bootie, Karen :)))) Thank you Steve A and the Augeri family AND the Journey family for the most memoriable, most loved times of my life. You are right my Joifriend....it NEVER gets better than times with my friends and times with Journey ...times that STEVIE A brought us :) G'head.......slap me with slandah :) Iloveyouall :) XoXoXoXoXo You'll never knock down a shit load of love :)

OMG Ambah!!!!!!! I'm bawling here.....looking at my "I gotta pee room" sign. You know it was Journey that brought us all together but its not what is keeping us together. I am so thankful that the got SA and decided to keep the journey going. I was able to meet the 11 bestest people in the whole wide world! And to think you humbled me with your grace in my own abode. The memories are great cause they are wrapped (almost wrote warped which could be true also)around Journey moments. To SA again I am thankful for keeping it going. With or without Journey, I know my friends will be there. I hope others can say the same. I am truly blessed.

steve augeri is a good singer, but a mediocre replacement for steve perry. it was a less than honorable thing that the other members of journey did in getting rid of steve perry. they surely didn't need the money bad enough to rely on the name journey. they should have called it journey lite. i have seen augeri twice, so i feel justified in sharing this opinion. thank you.

The Friendships that Journey Built
I just wanted to chime in on the "love fest" going on here. Through the love of this band's music, some of the very strongest friendships have been forged. Without this band - brought back to life with the able help of Steve Augeri - I would have never have had the opportunity to meet and get to know some of the best people that I have ever known. Through this band and the relationships I've made because of it, I've now got one hell of an extended family. I know that any one of these people would do anything a member of my family would do for me. The love is unconditional and true. I cherish every single memory that we've all made together, in the presence of this band and on our own. I look forward to the next time we all can get together and laugh and cry and enjoy each other's company. I miss each one of you, and you know who you are. Thank you Journey for extending my family beyond the border of genetics. We may not be related, but dammit, we're a family.

Hey little Troll--you seem to know more about me and BT than I do. One of my own, huh? And I thought Doni was from Texas. I have never said one word about Doni and I don't intend to start just because of the mischief you and your buds are creating. Perhaps the full moon and BTM brought on this latest phase of blaming Neal, twisting every word the man ever said, calling Steve a poser and comparing him ad nauseum to Perry. What a waste of energy. You do realize these are message boards about a rock and roll band, don't you? So, if the shoe fits your cloven little hoof, troll, wear it--stop trying to bring everybody down. Personally, the rainy season is coming and I have a lot of yard work to do.

Lyrics of power
Oh to hear Liberty Live! My new wish! What a great, passionate song that is. That song just beams with pride :) Such meaning it now has.....as everything else that has come to my life...again.......this band, in it's own way, as, always, has helped to heal me....Thank you guys. I can only hope it will help us all. TURN IT UP....HEAR the words and FEEL the meaning. ~~~~See the mountains.....with my lady.....as the eagle.....and the golden sky towers over purple majesty.....in the mountains.....is the freedom....there's a river.....you can hear it say ~from the delta flows the liberty~ {!!!!!!GO NEAL GO!!!!!!} As the twilight of evening is broken....lace and silver and starlight unfolding .....round and round in a web of emotion, words of love sometimes meant to be spoken, nothing equals the sea of emotion, her desire sets the wheels into motion, we all agree, we live to be free, they can't tell us...they can't tell us, how to be......WE, We all agree, YOU individually, We the people, share the power, oh....Liberty......

Lets just enjoy the peace. How is everyone? It was a beautiful day here today. I took my son, his friend and the dog to the park. It is still warm here, and the leaves are falling. What is is it like for the rest of you? I have lived on the west coast all my life so I have never seen the fall in the rest of the county. I just wanted to stop by and say HI! I am waiting like everyone else for Dec. 11th (can't wait, can't wait!). The Direct TV tape is holding me over (It is so great Thanks again LA). Take care everyone and enjoy the quiet, lets hope it stays this way.

Yes, I like it too! Maybe Trolls Holy Month starts before ramadan..(they always want to take away another group's thunder you know) I hope the kayak is filled with wine and cheese, then we can have a party without all the cheesy whiners (badaboom). It decided to be the southwest's version of winter yesterday ,and since the furnances aren't on I got to have a nice fire in the fireplace while I finished the clay for the art show. Very pleasant! Now..if I didn't have to return to work today, it would be even better. Have a nice weekend all you with normal M-F 9-5 jobs.

Ah, still peaceful
So nice and peaceful here still. I still say the trolls are in jail. Beautiful out here in the S. Cal. area, too. Vicky--I'm sure others will disagree, but you are not missing much by missing the east coast winters. I was a midwest/east coast girl until a couple years ago and I DO NOT miss all that snow and cold. The drawback to S. California is there is year-round yardwork to do--which I plan to do this long holiday weekend (what was I thinking buying a house with a big yard?). I think I'll blast some Arrival in my backyard and get to work. Everyone have a great SA-filled, troll-less weekend. And I hope the SA family is relaxing and having some fun. Do they have big yards in Brooklyn?

Comparisons
Artificial arm? I bet that's the first time you've ever been compared to that, huh, Steve? Well, best not to compare, but if I had to, I'd say you are more like the leaves in spring. The band had been dormant through a frosty season and if you hadn't come around with some new growth the whole thing would have died.

Not a popular move...but...
President Bush should level Afghanistan. Remember WW2 when Truman dropped the atomic bombs on Japan? How many American lives do you think that saved? And before you start talking about the innocent people in Afghanistan, remember, it was Bush who bent over BACKWARDS to keep the civilian casualties at a minimum and helped the refugees with the food drops. They were burned by the Taliban and many of the Afghan people. It's time to drop a biggie on that country! Sounds harsh? Well let's replay the footage of Sept. 11 a few dozen times to snap us awake again!!!!

I was way out of line with that joke about the Afghan women. I took a little poll among my friends and they thought it was funny. But you know what, they thought YOU were even funnier!!! We laugh at "the likes of you."

Nutshell
Hey folks--to those of you who don't get around the web--here is the Journey news in a nutshell. The DVD/VHS Journey Live 2001 is available for pre-order on CDNow.com ($11.98 VHS & $13.99 DVD--quite reasonable, I'd say) release date 12/11--can't wait! Journey's Blind Date episode is supposed to air 11/14 (syndicated so have to check your listings). I, unfortunately do not get a channel that gets that show--so please watch someone--SA undoubtably said something nice to the couple. Jon will autograph CDs bought at his online store www.jonathancain.com (bought a couple myself). Neal is on the prowl with the Trichromes--recording & playing shows www.trichromes.com. Gregg Rolie is out and about playing shows www.greggroliecom. Now, our own dear Steve is hopefully relaxing with his family (or doing a little writing?), but relaxing seems hard to do in NYC lately. Lots of positive vibes being send NYC's way. Stay safe, SA & family.

DVD/VHS release
Hey thanks LA WOman for letting us know where to get the video. I don't have much time to surf the net all day. I will definately be getting my copy on VHS. I am a bit dissapointed it being the same concert I already have from Direct TV but they say it will contain more footage... I am sure I will enjoy it all the same! I love Steve Augeri! Glad he is doing well and safe in NY! ROck ON!

EHJ, how you doin pal? Been swamped in the banking world with mortgage rates being so low. Make sure you guys refi if you are over 7% or have a large mortgage over 6.75%!! So much turmoil, hatred, and anger in the world today. For the idiot that said lets drop a nuke and kill millions of people because that would equal 7k lives....I pray for you. As a 7 generation military man, I would go after Bin Laden's ass in a heart beat. But, to kill innocent thousands because they did so...that is where my anger turns towards you and I realize that we have fanatics on both sides of the ocean. I LOVE Journey for their music and talent, their reminder of the good times present and future. Be strong during this troubled time and always stay passionet if not RAGIN toward all that you hold dear. To my God, my family, my country and to the never ending Journey!

Steve doesn't seem to be relaxing at home. Classy guy, that SA. NY Daily News 11/13/01**A Concerted Effort Classic rock lives — and gives. Members of the band Styx will join Steve Augeri of Journey at a ceremony at the disaster site today. The groups will present a check for $200,000 raised during the recent Volunteers for America concerts in Atlanta and Dallas. The Port Authority police union's first vice president, George Lorenz, will pass along the money to the Port Authority Police World Trade Disaster Survivors Fund.>> ***Pic of Steve at ground zero http://www.styxworld.com/mediapic.cfm?pictureid=1925 (sad)

My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of NYC. I am so saddened by the latest tragedy that has fallen upon NYC and America. It must have been unbelievable to be at ground zero. I cannot even imagine. As a Journey Fan and a Steve Augeri Fan, I am so proud of you all and the money raised and donated to help the families in NYC. May God Bless you and keep you in his care. As I sit here in Michigan tonight listening to Arrival, I would like to thank you again for taking us to a Higher Place and for the memories of an incredible summer...........you are special Steve. Take care!

Hey back at you,
It is somewhat quiet in Journeyville so what do you want to talk about? I think it great that Steve had the opportunity to see ground zero and present some of the money that was raised. Has anyone preordered their DVD/Video yet? I am going to just haven't done it yet. I saw at BT on the same thread as the info for the DVD that you can get a discount of either $5 or 15% on top of the 30% discount that CDNOW is already giving. That is worth checking out. Has anyone seen the Blind Date yet? It won't be on here until 6:00 PM tonight. I am taping it because I will be cooking dinner at that time. LA Woman I saw that you can't find the chanel on Direct TV, I could send you the tape. I owe you a favor back for the tape you sent me so I'd be happy to do it just email me. Hmmmm what else can I go on about? Oh I know Ragin about those intrest rates, are they really that good? I have a 7.5% on my morgage how long will I have to keep my home for the cost of refinancing to pay off for me any idea? Well I think I filled my quota of space for now. Oh one last thing EVERYONE GO AND GIVE BLOOD! If you gave after 9/11 it should be time for you to give again. I'm going Saturday before I pick my mom up at the airport (that is if she gets on the plane, she is a little shakey on it now). The Redcross always needs blood! Take care everyone!

Hey--Vicky & Eh J
Hey Vicky--I might take you up on that tape of Blind Date--if it is any good. How long is Journey on? I was at that show when they taped it--Frampton talked about the couple, but I never did see them in the audience. *****Now, Eh J--what are you complaining about? HA! I sent you that nice tape of BTM/DC--and I still have no packages from Canada--what's up with that? And what are all these "old" references? Neal is older than me--are you calling him old?? BTW I spent half the day trying to get tickets to Neal's Trichromes show on 12/1. The problem is that a bunch of Deadheads seem to be in charge of things and, sorry, but too many trichromes over a long period of time scrambles your brains.

Vicky in HB,
There are horrible rumors going around that the rates have to be 1 % lower than your current in order to save $ by refinancing. This is total bull. What matters is how much money will it save you and your family each month or will it cut your mortgage term by a few years if you refi? I make no commission at the bank but, be weary of any mortgage company as these guys get paid on commission. Alot of companies are offering 5 % rates but, their APR (annual percentage rate, which is the actual amount that you are paying for the loan can be 12% if not higher)! The apr shouldn't be any higher that 1 % above your interest rate. Besides asking about the APR, ask about any prepayment penalties, is it a fixed rate (do not get a balloon note unless you plan on selling the home before it balloons), and how many discount and origination points? Louisiana law allows for 10 points or $10,000 in fees on a $100,000 mortgage. A point is a point so, ask how many origination and discount points the company is charging. If you ask these questions and get in writing, most companies will not try to trick you as they may even think that you are a federal or company auditor! How do you get all of the discounts on the DVD????!!

Steve Augeri Rocks Enough Said
Yo Stevie A, When I heard Journey's "Arrival" CD, WOW Man your singing just blew me away. You sure have kept the Spirit of Journey Alive with your voice. I may have been dissapointed that Perry had left back in the late 90's but I was glad that you are the one that had to pick up where Perry left off. Same goes to Deen for his kick ass drumming, you guys are a lot better than Perry and Smith and I thank Neal, Ross and Jon for letting you guys in on a Hard Edged Rock out Journey thrill ride. Steve Augeri, thanks a bunch you're my new vocal inspiration.

irefighter said,"it looks small (Talking about the buildings)on tv but once you get right up to it it's big".I don't know why someone would want to risk peoples lives like that and go right out and hurt so many people.I guess i am just lucky to be so far away from the mess.I feel sorry for what people are going through and i hope that those people that had anything to do with it get whats coming to them.Well take care all .
