Journey Drummer Deen Castronova Sings Where Were You

[twohotfouryou87]

Too actually see how amazing deen castronovo really is see him live it's totally worth it he is so I can't even explain it lol ha ha

[billbocate]

are u crazy?,? excellent live job!!!

[CFKMAN]

WHAT A JOKE JOURNEY HAS BECOME!!!!  COVER BAND! NO STEVE PERRY = NO JOURNEY !

[artheriford]

Why does Neil look like he's been to Wayne Newton's plastic surgeon?

[GoodMorninGirl]

TIBNFJ - WTF are you talking about??? These aren't even "Deen's" songs that he's playing here.  What an uneducated comment!

[TIBNFJ]

I think it's difficult to get another drummer because journey cannot keep their sound without his drumming.

[popstar110]

i know him he gave me a drum set for my birth day gooooooooo thank you whooooooooo

[journeyreveIation]

i bet jeff scott soto's brain is so incapable of memorizing all the songs plus doesn't have the vocal ability that's why they put deen on the microphone lol

[Kingtaken]

DC should absolutely be the front man. Get another drummer and see him really kick ass.

[deeej86]

HE COULD EASILY BE THE FRONT MAN!!!!

[3eyedho]

The vocals sound excellent!

[leesa2liza]

he does sound excellent!

[connerjd]

The first time that I have seen Jiohnathan Cain play rhythm guitar. I did not know that he could play guitar.

[billleeboy]

he plays guitar on Only The Young and wheel in the sky.If you get the 2001 dvd you will see him play.Also he plays on Keep On Running.

[connerjd]

Thank you much. I heard that on their 30th anniversary tour that they sung songs from the pre-Perry albums. I am hoping that they come out with a DVD on this.

[billleeboy]

Well if we as fans send that to them and bug the hell out of them i can see that on dvd

[connerjd]

Damn good idea. I will keep that in mind.

[billleeboy]

well thankyou!YOur Canadian Friend!

[connerjd]

Your welcome. How are things in Canada?

[billleeboy]

well its ain't hot here!We have been getting cool weather .Which is cool!

[connerjd]

Are you in the Eastern and Western part of Canada?

[billleeboy]

Um on the same side as windsor

Um on the other side of the bridge from Detroit

Um this side of london ontario

Laughing

[barkatozz]

He also plays guitar on Stone In Love.

[mexicandargaver]

I agree with Governorgif, you are a Great motherfucker Dean. Awesome Guy.

[caroleinmn]

Pretty awful!!!

[governorgilf]

These guys are still way better than any of the losers out there today that you hear on the radio. I've never seen a drummer play and sing his ass off at the same time like this guy. If he really is singing this, then why do they need a singer? Let Deen sing everything! Who cares if they don't have a "frontman?"

[connerjd]

Good Point. A lot of people do not know that the original Journey did not have a frontman. They started out as a mostly instrumental band.

[bstweebster]

Totally agree!

[Kerjo123]

governorgilf:  it's hard to sing and play drums at the sme rime,

[sonicwhackmeister]

I saw these guys live and when the drummer sang, he was awesome! No lip synching here! I've been in the business for years and he and Steve are the real deal!

[dogbarfing]

GREAT JOB... NO STEVE PERRT THOUGH

[jojoc26]

Uncle Joe talks about it here if you want more information on it

"...But let me say these two things: #1, Steve Augeri sure wasn't lip syncing when I was on stage with the band; #2, No one I've ever met (and I've met them all) is good enough to lip sync Journey music for an entire concert — Journey songs are intense vocal workouts."

[perryisjourney]

Does o.k. but no power in the vocals. Also lacks the richness and soulfulness of the originator. If this guy did his own songs he would do better but nobody can match up to Steve Perry, he is to unique in his voice and singing style.

[barkatozz]

Dude.....you sit behind the drums & play an upbeat song like this & try to sing Steve Perry vox at the same time & see how much "power" you have in your voice.

[neechee5150]

@perryisjourney No power. Deen is using all four limbs and singing on a fairly fast tempo version of this song, and he is not able to use a top of the line dynamic or condenser mic as Perry did becuase he can not hold the mic. Check out Deen on Mother Father-Deen has power and range

[theshyguitarist]

@perryisjourney

Perry is dead, long live Arnel. Geez.....

[Escape1988]

HAHA I WON

[Escape1988]

awfull comeback no originality at all....try this.....your grandparents died to get away from you

[bklynboy68]

lol dude, that was horrible. you're going to call my comeback awful? this is going nowhere. later man enjoy life.

[Escape1988]

BKLYNBOY68-----ARE YOU AFFECTED BY FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROM? OR ARE YOU JUST ENTIRELY RETARDED? WHERE ON PLANET ILOVECOCK DID YOU HEAR JOURNEY RAN TAPES FOR BACKGROUND VOCALS? HAVE YOU EVER EVEN BEEN TO A JOURNEY CONCERT? IF YOU CAN'T HEAR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIVE AND PRE-RECORDED TRACKS THEN CLIMB BACK UP INTO YOUR MOMS TWAT AND EAT YOUR WAY BACK OUT. YOUR PARENTS DON'T LOVE YOU AND YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABORTED.

[bklynboy68]

SINCE YOU STOOPED TO THIS LEVEL...I'LL DO THAT AS SOON AS YOUR MOM WIPES MY JIZZ OFF HER CHIN SON.

[gaae2000]

word on da...

[Escape1988]

THANKS BARKATOZZ! NOW LISTEN ALL YOU LITTLE FUIT LOOPS (bklynboy68) I'M A FRIEND OF DEEN'S FAMILY...AND I'M A MEMBER OF BACK TALK THE JOURNEY FORUMS...I KNOW WHAT'S TRUE AND WHAT'S NOT...THE LIP SYNCH IS A RUMOR...STEVE HAS A THROAT INFECTION SO THEY GOT JEFF SCOTT SOTO...IF YOU CAN'T TELL DEEN IS SINGING LIVE THEN YOUR EAR DRUMS ARE PLUGGED UP WITH YOUR DOG'S JIZZ..BITCH

[barkatozz]

I was amazed at Deen's voice....which was the main reason I decided to film these little videos (1G memory card doesn't hold much)...I did download a boot w/ JSS & heard Deen is now singing Open Arms & Who's Cryin' Now....sounds amazing.

[bklynboy68]

SO WHAT IF YOU KNOW DEEN'S FAMILY ? WHILE AUGERI DID HAVE "THROAT PROBLEMS", IT'S NO LONGER A SECRET THAT THEY WERE RUNNING TAPE. BY THE WAY, I WAS NEVER TALKING ABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE HERE. ALL I SAID WAS NOW THAT THEY WERE CAUGHT USING TAPE, HOW CAN WE AS FANS TRUST THEM AS LIVE PERFORMERS?

[bklynboy68]

AND BY THE WAY, JOURNEY'S ALSO BEEN USING TAPE FOR THE BACKGROUND VOCALS FOR YEARS. SO YOU AND CAN GO BACK TO YOUR FORUMS AND CIRCLE JERK TO AUGERI SINGING FAITHFULLY YOU PUTZ!

[Escape1988]

THIS IS TO bklynboy68...YOU LITTLE FUCK SLAP YOU'RE LUCKY I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE ME, STEVE AUGERI, AND DEEN CASTRONOVO WOULD BE AT YOUR HOUSE TO RIP YOUR BALLS OFF, PUT THEM IN A BLENDER, THEN FORCE YOU TO DRINK IT.......YEA LIP-SYNCHING SCANDAL....KEY WORLD....SCANDAL...RUMORS...AL­L FALSE....DEEN SINGS LIVE.....SO TAKE A DICK AND SHOVE IT IN YOUR EAR AND FUCK WHAT YOU HEARD FAGGOT.....DISRESPECT JOURNEY AGAIN AND YOU'LL GET CANCER...IN THE BRAIN

[barkatozz]

I like your thinkin'!

[bklynboy68]

hey, why don't they get gary cherone while they're at it?

[barkatozz]

Anybody ever tell you that you're a dickless douchebag?

[stuckin85]

They should have tapped Kevin Chalfant for the job when they had the chance. If this is Deen singing, they should just let him from now on.

[daytrpryeah]

Uhhh...yeah, I know exactly what's been going on. Augeri blew out his voice, they tried to cover it up, that didn't work, they got a new singer for the rest of the tour. What does that have to do with Deen singing this song? Nothing.

[barkatozz]

That's what I said!

[bklynboy68]

NEVER MIND . YOU GUYS EITHER ARE IGNORING THE LIP SYNCHING SCANDAL OR YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

[daytrpryeah]

What part of "cover it up" did you not understand. Deen is not Steve, and this show was not one of the ones in question. Try to be a little more thorough in your "research" next time.

[daytrpryeah]

Hey bklynboy68. Deen's kicking butt here, and he sure is heck isn't lip syncing. Get a clue man.

[bklynboy68]

DUDE, YOU GET A CLUE. DO YOU GUYS EVEN KEEP UP WITH JOURNEY? DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?

[bklynboy68]

i am not telling you about this show . i am telling you what has been discovered recently about journey. i am a big journey fan but i can't and won't support them after the recent fiasco. it's embarrassing for a band that was a monster to become a joke.

[bklynboy68]

well, if the background vocals are taped and the singer is taped, what makes you think castronovo is singing live?

[barkatozz]

Dude....trust me...it was live...Augeri was pretty bad...If the drummer & backing vocals were not live why was Augeri. I was at the show...you weren't, don't tell me what I heard or didn't hear.

[bklynboy68]

DUDE, YOU BETTER DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON THEM AND READ THE LATEST SCANDAL WITH JOURNEY. AUGERI WAS PULLING AN ASHLEE SIMPSON

[barkatozz]

DUDE.....THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT THE DRUMMER...NOT AUGERI!!!

[bklynboy68]

yeah, as long as they have the tape machine rolling. they WERE one of the best bands around. now they are a lip synching joke!

[barkatozz]

Lip synching? WTF?

[barkatozz]

Because I was filming the screen there was a slight delay....but he's not lip synching.

[hihats]

ummmm...they still rock harder than any of the lame-ass bands out there today.

[barkatozz]

I agree totally!!

[bklynboy68]

JOURNEY HAS BECOME A FREAKIN' JOKE!

[barkatozz]

If you say so....I thought they sounded great in concert.
