In some interviews that I've found Joey makes referred to the band RUSH and the relationship with their fans, he likes debate that can generate the different direction in the music of a band, like EUROPE made in this second stage.
I like when Joey talks about what he expects from his fans, .. but actually I'm not sure what he expects of the people who follow and support them ... I would like that he feels our support, but sometimes baffles me.
I don't know anything about Rush's fans is a band that I've not followed but I wonder how they are supporting the band, how are organized, because for Joey is a good example of relationship between a rock band and the fans.

“... I like bands such as Rush. They always used to keep their fans guessing and Rush fans have always argued about whether this or that direction was the best one for them.
“Maybe that’s a strength ... to spark a debate and to get people talking. But those fans almost always get behind a new Rush album. Six months down the line and that’s still what seems to be happening with Bag Of Bones ... ”

“... Bands like Rush though changed their style so many times and their fans are there and they’re there in droves. There are so many because you want a band to take you on a journey as well, but you get a little bit of a shock sometimes. I’m like that with a band; if I hear they’ve changed their styles but still doing good stuff, I will follow them. I still think we have some great tunes on there. I actually think there are stronger tunes on this one than on Last Look At Eden, but Last Look At Eden had some great ones too. We’re going on a journey, and I hope the fans will follow us...”
