journey fan is very different from steve perry fan. if you are the latter, you would rather go with him if steve decides to go to the grave! journey is a band not a single person. for them to survive they need to share their talent in the band itself..long live journey!
I am so thankful Steve Perry took me through my Journey for loving and enjoying Rock and Roll. And I am so glad the Journey goes on with Arnel Pineda for this generation. All that matters is the music man......may it flow forever for all our hearts.
Journey ON! Rock and Roll FOREVER! Peace be with us all no matter what age we are in right now.
Hes a good singer, no doubt. And I feel for the guy having to replace, "The Voice". Talk about a tough act to follow. Although, he doesn't nearly have the chops of a Steve Perry, I don't hate.
to all them haters... let me see if you can sing them songs..... arnel kills it everytime... he's the shits.. he makes people wanna hear journey song again... he's the bomb...
Any true Journey fan has to embrace Arnel with his own journey in life and that's what makes him such an incredibly important part of this band !! He has truly touched my heart. His warm kind soul speaks for himself ! Kudos to you Arnel ! You rock on for ever and ever!!
This man is a phenomenal performer and has brought true life back to a band that was certainly floundering. I am so happy for him and for Journey as a whole! Thanks for posting this video.
ain't really a journey fan...Arnel was all over news that he is the new front man of journey...man, he really can sing...(still, SP's foolidh heart is one of the bests...)
goodluck arnel and the band...
now, I can say that I'm an AP convert--it was not instant, but arnel grows in me...
GO arnel Go its ur time to shine ! A very humble person even in his stature now . Go PinoY ! serve as an inspiration for our people eventhough im chinese i love the Philippines .
I get goosebumps every time I hear Arnel sing! His amazingly powerful voice and soft kind soul makes a perfect package! Arnel, your mother has been your guardian angel. God bless you!
@Louamberelise Ditto on the goosebumps--Am watching the Download Concert in Derby, England and not only did he give me chills but I was moved to tears just knowing his story and remembering my own Journey experience so many years ago.

There would be Naysayers towards Arnel regardless, but the truth of the matter IS Arnel has delivered with unquestionable talent and singing skill. He is superb and can hold his own for Journey and for all Journey fans. The Naysayers are just jealous and plainly out-of-reality. My suggestion to the Naysayers: Wake up and keep up.
it's really hard to top steve perry, he is a legend... but this new lead singer of journey is undeniable and really good.... a good singer and a good person!
after journey's appearance in oprah, steve perry sent a message to oprah thanking the band and wishing them well.
This is the first lead singer I have actually embraced since Steve Perry. Steve WAS Journey.
Augeri didn't work for me. He's talented, but I really felt like the band was just a shadow of their former selves and they should just call it a day already.
And the guy after him.... never heard him, but I was long over trying to follow Journey at that point.
Arnel Pineda is the first since Perry to really capture that old Journey spirit.
I went to Journey concert. Wow!!!!!!! Arnel is SUPER GOOD. He sings with emotion n soul. He has an amazing voice. fantastic. 10+ concert. Journey forever
I also don't understand why people discriminate against his race. He is a beautiful man inside and out, no matter his background and skin color. If people don't like him, that is fine but don't throw his race in the mix...He did nothing to you.
Professional musicians thorough analysis of Journey: Steve Perry is a very good singer with very good control and smooth delivery. Arnel Pineda is an outstanding vocalist with an extremely wide range and a lot of metals, its what we musicians call a titanium voice box, much like expensive Infinity hi-freq speakers or super male Timbrado canaries. Steve Perry in his early years can also go high, but lacks a crisp titanium tone. Steve Perry also has more of a feminine voice and delivery.
BLEH Arnel is WORSE the JSS the only singer other Perry was ANY GOOD was Augeri. Im sorry but Augeri was WAY better than JSS and JSS was WAY better than Arnel, Arnel IS a good singer I wont take that away from him, but Journey needs to get Augeri back. Arnel SUCKS!
Arnel is the man the real deal the man who landest the hardest gig in rock and roll today JOURNEY, anyone who can sing these songs night in and night out is an incredible talent.Three before him have failed including mr perry. Who cannot even come close to hitting those notes as i write this.Arnel has only gotten better in this last year.
You didnt like Seve Perry??? What are you nuts???? He _MADE_ Journey!!! I think Arnel Is terrific...It amazed me how close he is to Perry...But they need to get him into newer songs so the comparison stops there....he needs to be "Arnel" not the next "Perry"!!!
Hi Coldthugz. Please read my earlier posts before you reply to this. I'm not a racist - I'm very happy with my Sweetheart who is the most wonderful Filipina you could hope to meet. we live in Hong Kong. I know Arnel, I worked with him, and we saw him here last month. Again, read my previous posts. Please, all you Pinoys, be proud, but please don't always think that we others are looking down on you - WE ARE NOT!!!!! You have so much natural talent!!!!!
To all the haters its all good if yu want to hate on his skin color ..ill accept that ...but maybe yu should try over lookin that fact and just close your eyes and listen to him sing ..tell me then if yu dont like what yu hear...filipinos like arnel,charice,and manny pacquiao has change tha whole outlook of racism towards colored people..check this out whoze tha best boxer in the world?manny..whose tha best teen singer in the world?charice..
Really, which Olympic boxing bout did Manny win? Because they say "in the world" doesn't mean it's really in competition with the whole world. Shoving your race in somebody's face is a good way to promote racism, not put an end to it. So, take a hike nigger.
He was here looking at possibly opening a bar/club in the future and checking out the situation. I worked with him doing sound and lighting in an HK bar/club/restaurant where he was performing. I like what he's doing now with Journey but his Queen and other stuff was also exceptional.
you're right ;-) i'm soo happy for what he is doing now with Journey.. and i love their songs.. tho, like what you said, i like listening to him sing other songs as well (queen, survivors, etc.)
I worked with Arnel in Hong Kong a few years ago and knew then what a talent he was - you should have heard him and his old band do Bohemian Rhapsody, amazing! These Journey "fans" writing him and the band off with premature negative comments are clearly not real fans. Thank you to the guy who made and posted this video. I met Arnel in Hong Kong last month - same old likeable, humble guy. I'm very happy for him after a difficult early life.
Journey and Arnel got the best bargain out of each other. Arnel got the voice, relative youth, energy and stage presence they are looking for but not a clone of Steve Perry. And they, Journey, has one of the best instrumentalists, and perfect backing voice to complement Arnel. Bravo Journey!!!! may your legacy of quality music last for young people to emulate
irrespective of what people think, this guy was good enough for journey to go half way round the world to get him on board and that says it all about the guys talent and versatility.
I got a little emotional watching this...great job on putting this tribute together!!! I agree about Arnel's incredible vocal and his humble character. He just gets better and better!!
Arnel may never be able to win every single Journey die hard fan (which is never possible) but what matters most is that he stood his ground and convinced many that he deserves to be where he is now.
ARNEL KICKS MAJOR ASS...HE CAN SING ANYTHING. STOP HATING PEOPLE.

People need to realise that there is more to Journey than just Steve Perry. Steve is great but the band still rocks without him.

The thing that makes Arnel great as a replacement is his attitude. He is not an arrogoneous asswad like other singers I have seen.
He seems humble, and that's all that's necessary rather he truly is or not.
