Kris, this has got NOTHING to do with 'getting on a soapbox' - it's simply a matter of giving the artist some respect! Somewhere out there is a Journey 'fan' (and I use the term loosely...) who saw it fit to put 'Arrival' on the Net A to Z - a full SIX WEEKS ahead of its official release date! That is FUCKING bullshit and it needs to stop! How would you feel if you worked on a project and someone took it away from you without your consent and showed it/played it for every Joe, Dick and Harry! - You would feel like SHIT and you'd be FUMING! Why can't people be cool enough to sit on something until it comes out, or closer to the release date anyway, instead of completely disrespecting the band just to be "Mr. badass-look-I-got-it-already"? The lowlifes that do this deserve a major beating... and people like you who support these practices should really think through what's at stake here instead of acting like overanxious fanboys. Is your life gonna suck that much if you can't hear a badly mp3'd version of 'Arrivial' RIGHT NOW?
P.S.: If Andrew previews the new Journey you can bet your life he's got PERMISSION to do so! Don't equate him with these Napster clowns!
