  • they sound the same O_O

  • He had to replace Steve Perry because of a hip injury during his vacation at Hawaii.Because of this, he would need surgery.Sorry for the people who hate Arnel Pineda

  • Steve Perry sung this song better and with such ease and no strain no matter if it was live or what. By the way Steve could still sing these songs it would just take 6-10 weeks to get his voice back up to the high notes of Journey, he said it in an interview on Steve Perry online. I just feel like we are only getting 70% of the highs and tenor with Arnel idk just my opinion and when he does hit the notes his voice is more like a rocker. People need to stop being racist and be fair though.

  • amazingggggg!

  • @joseph10704 they sound exactly the same, you dumbass ... if someone blinded you, and make you listen to one live from steve perry, and one live from arnel, you would'nt be able to tell the defference

  • NSxxd should understand that most people in the World do not speak English, now whatcha' gonna do now? You, NSxxd are the stupid one; not the Filipono's.........I happen to have several friends from the Philipines. I met them when I lived in Japan for over three years and they are great people.....so whatcha gonna do now??? (something like that - from the Jimmy Fallon tv program)

  • You tube is a place to come and enjoy the music, relax etc; not make fun of people who do not know the English language....that is uncivil and quite rude to "correct their grammar" So, get over it already.........besides if you are as intelligent as you say you are - you would know that the Filipino's serve in the American Military and we are allies. If I have made any typos; it is because I need a stronger pair of reading glasses.....ONE WORLD !!!!!!!!!!!

  • journey is sooooooo back!

  • Wow , Arnel and Perry sound so uncannily alike .

  • meant the speech thing from other posts iv read latly, srry its late and forgot half my sentence lol

  • wow i was expectin arnel to ahve some speech impediment or to strong of a pinoy accent but come on all YOU hates grazing across youtube at arnel ,.....i love SP but come on...that kid can do journey's songs any day of the week gotta admit it great job to this guy

  • arnel pineda rulezz

  • Arnel, You revived an already great band. You are a breath of fresh air. I love, love , love you.

  • @fancycat7 yes ! fresh air! im agree!.

  • What

  • I will give my soul to listen to them n person forever

  • "come on"

    

  • I never tire of watching this video! I love Arnel's jubilance at this first live show with Journey. You rock, Arnel! Keep singing and stay humble, you are an inspiration to me andante others!

  • this band just hasn't been the same since randy jackson left...

  • God, he's no Steve Perry but he's pretty damned good!

  • Of course he's not Steve Perry because he's not Steve Perry. He's the guy the band chose to replace Steve Perry. Don't hate on him because he doesn't sound exactly like Perry. He was chosen to be a replacement that does a hell of a good job I'd say. Good for you Arnel, you're awesome!!

    Did anybody else notice the f%$&* best air guitar solo ever, check him out @ 1:58 yellow striped shirt. I wanna party with that bastard.

  • He is no Steve Perry... I know I will get dogged for my opinion, but I have listened to Journey for years.

  • @texcan and you know arnel is more electrifying than Steve Perry ever was!

  • Journey to be honored a Legend of Live award 2011 in Billboard New York this Nov. Arnel Pineda made this happens. Eclipse Tour 2011 the most successful tour for Journey ever nearly 1 million tickets sold for 2011 alone.

  • Journey is now No. 6 on top concerts as per pollstar.

  • This guy blows. Nice cover band. Steve Perry makes this guy look like a chump. Write your own music buddy.

  • @davenator74 The band asked him to join because he was the sound they were looking for. There's nothing wrong with singing song's just because they're not yours. If you feel the music it's right, and just so you know they've just released a new LP so hop off if you're just going to troll the comments.

  • @davenator74 I agree! In my opinion, Journey should know better than to replace Steve Perry! In my opinion, THIS is KARAOKE, NOT JOURNEY!

  • @AngelofAnguish deal with it that life dont watch it if u dont like it

  • hope to see u n person, tke good cre of ur health.. il happy for u..

  • we love u arnel, ur amazing, u have a good voice. we know that u sing for journey but not to replaced steve perry. stay humble and as what u are. u have a qualities that steve perry doesnt hve.

  • I dont think it could be same without steve paerry. I dont think Pinedas voice is a powerfuls as steve perrys. He sings it differentlly than Perry. I think it sounds like he is pushing himself to the limits to sing dnt stp blvin unlike perry. still good voice.

  • Arnel is a great singer and great addition to Journey, but I have a question. Do you think Journey is outsourcing?

  • @Wachatoey Journey does not have a lead singer. Steve Perry abandoned Journey. Arnel is not a Marzian, he is from Earth. He is the Filipino, not an American, Is the you are asking? You are a racism. Probably, you love whites and black people, still you are racism.

  • @NSxxxd racist my love not racism. that is to correct the grammar

  • @Theomahawater Leibling. is it the spelling, not grammar.

  • @NSxxxd hehehe hope this will end up to a productive conversation. wrong spelling ends up to a wrong grmmar. since it alters the content and sense.

  • Awesome vocals!

  • I miss Steve Perry too, but Arnel sounds similar. S'ok.

  • He sounds eerily like steve and also unique... awesome

  • Wasn't this like his debut with the band? That's totally clutch.

  • good vocalist but he inherited the worse 80s singer of Journey

  • arnel the best voice ,, journal the greatest hits fr, PH davao city

  • What happened?! The resolution on this has decayed tremendously. Am I the only one noticing this?! 

  • Come on guys! You shouldn't be hating on this version.

    You should hate on the Glee version ;)

    (JUST KIDDING ANGRY GLEE FANS that shouldn't be here then... IDK where I was going with that, Just don't hate on any version i guess)

  • wheres the butter

  • cant we just stop the hating and just raise our lighters up and sing to this awesome song , regardless who is singing

  • @qwertyuiopASDFGHJ885 Sorry! When a band like Journey "move on" with a new singer, a number of us (the fans), myself included, take such a gesture/casualty "very personally."

  • " Had I known Arnel was around fifteen years ago," Schon says, "singing even better than he is now—Goddammit, I would have called him!"

  • Now I disagree with them not sounding the same because when I heard the audio version first, before even knowing they had changed singers, I didn't know it was a different singer, plus his voice is probably the closest you will get.

  • @spongebob12345 yeah. he may not be the exact carbon copy. but he comes pretty damn close. and i'll be shock to hear anyone come closer.

  • Miss steve, this guys good but not in the looks dept.Perry in the 80's was HOT

  • this is arnel's first ever concert with the band isnt it? very good! you can tell some of the other band members are still pessimistic but arnel just looked so good and comfortable out there, high fiving and interacting with the crowd. and his projection and stage presence...just to think it was a televised concert with millions of people...very inspiring.

  • Comment removed

  • he actually looks preety good with the band, like he was there from the beginning.

  • arnel sounds pretty similar, so im happy with him

  • someday asians are gonna rule the world :)

  • @kirbyNlarryplz Hurry up!

  • Dats my idol....

  • @naytus @gupper83

    LOOK FOR YOUR STEVE PERRY SOMEWHERE ELSE! WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE WHEN YOU IDIOTS KNEW THE FRONTMAN WOULD BE ARNEL PINEDA, LAMEWADS! EAT YOUR HEART OUT! BE HONEST HERE, YOU HATERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ARNEL FOR 1 SEC PERFORMING LIKE THAT :) JEALOUSY CAN KILL YOU!

  • Arnel is my lead singer, Steve is my mom's. Two generations.

    One Journey. I love you, Journey. And I love you, Arnel. I have pictures of Mom and her friends when they were teenagers

    at a Journey concert in Oakland.

  • I had the tickets in my hand then I read the performers list expecting fully to see Steve Perry- ARNELL PINEDA? WTF who was this guy???!??!?

    I wanted to hate him, I almost needed to hate him" just because"

    Fact is I just couldn't after seeing him.

    Arnell has a fantastic voice and delivers the full Journey experience. (yes- he delivers a Steve quality concert)

    Go see the concert- close your eyes- and you will believe........

  • Wow AP you rock,judging on what i see on this concert you really make the audience happy n they like you.Those people who always give negative comments to AP are just bitter n jealous.And AP is close to the original.Sorry guys SP is not the only person who knows how to sing.Peace

  • This idiot's butchered the song. Starts off okay then descend's into a mockery. Dislike!

  • Nice, but where's my Stevie??

  • peeenoy

  • you cant br better than an origanal.

  • LOL. what does it matter if he replaced steve or not. its not like he barged in and was cocky about it. he was asked to join the band and if you have ever heard his story then you would realize how much he deserves to be in journey. and if they wanted steve back over arnel, dont you tihnk they would've asked by now?

  • I HATE YOU!!!!i dont care if he doesnt want to replace steve perry if he doesnt then dont get them to get steve back .you sound good just not for this band and im 13 journey with steve will always be my favorite band i have my own band we will never sound as great as the original journey GET BACK TOGETHER sorry but yo will never sound as great as steve and is they ever got back together which they sould they would get sold out in a heart beat SORYY BUT GET STEVE BACK BECOME JOURNEY AGAIN !!!!!

  • @lynne1233 AMEN! I'd rather have Journey break-up than "move on" with a different or new singer! In my opinion, although things may look or seem well on the exterior, RIGHT NOW, I think DEEP DOWN INSIDE, Journey KNOWS that STEVE PERRY, and ONLY STEVE PERRY, is THE ONLY SINGER for JOURNEY!

  • @AngelofAnguish fuck the button up! what are you smoking at?

  • arnel pineda forever!!

  • He is way better than Steve Perry! Thumbs Up if you agree!

  • @RaptorPrince44 you can never be better than the original. I'm a Filipino admitting that.

  • are they still friends with Steve Perry because someone told me they havent talked since he left the band because of his thigh injury

  • There are dozens of Philipino cover bands in Hong Kong that do Journey better than Journey, so it doesn't surprise me in the least that Arnel is awesome.

  • I miss Steve...

  • J.D. from Scrubs showed me this great band :)

  • Gives me chills!!!!!!

  • flat ah

  • If Arnel Pineda has different style other than the Journey, he should have not been hired by them. He's there because he sings like them.

  • @reygood1 he has his own way of performing on stage, different from SP, but the Journey sound that he make is still there. That 's something he could not change.

  • he is like asian and sounds like this its amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  • Comment removed

  • @crazyforpizzza Arnel was hired to continue their legacy, by bringing their music back, to sing then the way they should be, and it's the JOURNEY Way. He has to live them, give honor,preserve the sacredness of those songs, and NOT FOR HIS TO ALTER. And if you are that saying Arnel doesn't have his OWN style, It's very clear that you don't see Journey perform nowadays. I suggest you to check out new Journey vids, and you will see how they are completely different performers ON STAGE!

  • @myangelshane Way to be contradictory with this:

    "Arnel was hired to continue their legacy, by bringing their music back, to sing then the way they should be, and it's the JOURNEY Way. He has to live them, give honor,preserve the sacredness of those songs, and NOT FOR HIS TO ALTER"

    vs. this:

    "I suggest you to check out new Journey vids, and you will see how they are completely different performers ON STAGE!"

    All in the same paragraph.

  • @rizaignacio okay riza did i confuse? To make it more simple ,like I said, he is different from SP in terms of performing on stage(performing is not just singing), The high energy of AP. He runs,jumps and bounces a a lot,etc etcThose things i didnt see from SP. So I must say it's AP's own style of performing. However, when you listen to his singing , his voice,the Journey sound among their songs is still there and not altered. I hope you get it this time.

  • Now, I believe that there is someone who doesn't stop believing in their dreams! Keep it up Arnel. I believe that you simply love to sing. You sing every song with conviction. Screw the haters.. You don't want to be somebody else. All you just want to do is SING! Hope people would understand that!

  • congrats for winning the "song of the 20th century" award for this song. Hey, arnel is the soloist while this song made it to the top. Every member should be congratulated including the old ones. they're all members in this journey. while the world is listening to the journey in general, those against arnel in particular should not listen at all. I don't think the group needs you, whoever you are. i guess you're still listening even though you said you don't like the present soloist.

  • Arnel Pineda and Manny Paquiao should go Strip Club hoppin.

  • @crazyforpizza ur clearly pissoff that arnel became da lead vocalist well,, too bad for u dude no matter what u say ur sp-yish is done over and history and that's fact no more or less. We ARNELIANS-like me we don't care what u think or feel coz ARNEL- HE IS NOW THE LEAD VOCALIST OF JOURNEY and they have been so successful to all concerts they went ever since he talked over and up to the present. So it's been proven how talented he is so ARNEL GO SKY HIGH!

  • Chile's fans are an entirely different topic. If you want to dispute the fact that americans are suckers for underprivileged folk who have talent or do something cool and subsequently make it big, just watch daytime talk shows. They love to feature people like that constantly. I do not prefer the new journey; im partial to the old journey; IAC journey bands past and present are/were nothing without the contributions of steve perry, though most people refuse to acknowledge it, including Neil S.

  • Arnel tries to emulate EXACTLY the way steve executed notes while he sang. He is talented, but kind of a cheap imitation of his predecessor. Arnel can sing loud, but what's so great about that? Its awesome because he's tiny and comes from a third world country? If arnel is so good, he should develop his OWN style that does not in any way copy the great steve perry. The U.S. is such a sucker for the underdog, they just want a good story to write. None of these journey clowns would have made it

  • @crazyforpizzza well apparently Arnel was good enough for the other band members who chose him. Also you say Americans are suckers for the underdog... well this concert is in Chile, and they've done other concerts in other countries... so are you trying to say everyone is a sucker for underdogs except you?? quit hating because someone is doing better in life than you. And appreciate the music for what it is.

  • Comment removed

  • No one can replace Steve Perry, but Arnel is good in his own right. Dude has had a very hard life.

  • Haha all the flips are upvoting the complimentary arnel comments and down voting the pro - steve perry comments. its mostly filipinos lurking this thread just like charice stuff too, so no wonder. If they grew up understanding the immortal quality and nuance steve had to his voice, and how the rest of journey screwed him over right after steve's mom came down with cancer, they would understand much better.

  • iI got my tickets for the Kansas City concert in September, Does Arnel is making the tour with Journey? he's awesome!!!!

  • The good thing about having Pineda is that Journey is keeping their music alive for the new generations to know it, but the ones like me who were young back in the 80s know that Steve Perry was unique, and no one will ever replace him.

  • Arnel Does a great job dont get me wrong!! But ill be right back im goin to listen to the original!!

  • Arnel Pineda is freakin awesome!! ;) he can totally pull it off! He has the voice and the looks!

  • go get them arnel we love you great singer

  • I like Arnel Pineda, that's why I am going to see Journey in September, I don't care if Steve Perry isn't gonna be there, Journey still kicks ass

  • Wow, I love all the hate I got for my response :)

    Personally, in MY OPINION, he is a sad emulator. Journey was DEFINED by Steve Perry's voice and licks. To all you people who think you know music, and like to broadcast your "facts" need to check yourselves.

    For you to backup your claims saying "it's his first performance" and other excuses... well, they are just that. EXCUSES! That's what PRACTICE is for!

    Journey is truly my 2nd favorite band next to Ambrosia (lead by David Pack).

  • @SuperLuvmuffins

    And just for the record, I do appreciate his talent. But, in my OPINION (google it if you don't understand the meaning), Journey (band minus Perry) realized they couldn't do anything without Perry, so after being selfish and not understanding Steve's desire to heal himself (google it), they needed something to replace him. Arnel happens to be that poor puppet.

    Power to him though! He's rockin it.

  • Idol ka talaga arnel galing mo.

  • look arnel doesnt want to replace steve perry he just want to sing for journey thats it so dont hate him

  • @jemdria was there first ever concert in chile ?

  • @jemdria you're wasting your precious resources...those "butt-hole bullies" only live to troll sites such as youtube simply to turn positive energy into negative vibes. "They thrive on negativity".

    They're like demons constantly in search of a body to possess and consume...negativity is their "little blue pill".

  • I agree with you...this young man (Arnel Pineda) has done no wrong. All of the hateful criticism is unwarranted.

  • ROCK ON PILIPINO.!

  • don't stop believing in arnel

  • I love the part when they sing

  • this is a blessing for both side ... arnel for being part of journey, and journey for having arnel to be their front man ... great voice, great talent and a very humble person, arnel deserved what he has achieved today ... comparing is the right of everybody, however, just remember that journey will not be as it is today, without arnel ... peace !!!

  • In addition, Arnel had his version of DSB using his own distinctive voice, and I must say he had done it pretty well, too bad people just get used to Perry that's why they say he owns this song and nobody can ever does, he did it best etc. etc .. blah blah.. But people open your eyes and your ears, give this guy a chance, he's no Steve Perry but he has something to offer and he's doing pretty good!

  • steve perry did it best..not this dude!

  • I was so intrigued about this comparison and so I decided to go to Steve's vids. Upon hearing Steve and Arnel doing DSB, it's just like i"m listening to 2 different versions(some people are wrong upon saying Arnel sounds like Steve cause he just doesn't!). I came up to a realization that they are both great singer in their own right. Arnel can never touch Steve Perry, he has a distinctive unique voice,on the other hand, I also believe that Steve was not as versatile as Arnel is.

  • @myangelshane & they have an 18 years age gap. Arnel Pineda Is 43 & Steve Perry is 61

  • @melmar07 good point!

  • (Wouldn't be)**

  • He only sounds like Steve perry because there was Steve perry.. He couldn't sing like he does without steve perry.. He grew up listening to Steve perry and imitating his voice and got pretty good at it.. But he would be where he is if there never was Steve perry!

  • BULLSHIT I saw them with Perry on one of their last tours and he was stoned indifferent disintrested and sounded like shit.They were so F'n lucky to find this cat he has more energy sings with way more passion and is so much the consummate entertainer.

  • I do believe that there are old videos of steve perry of when he was the lead singer...do all of us who respect and admire Arnel Pineda and go watch them...this man is a legend and has come a long way...we don't want to hear about his flat tones and that his fake I would say his sold out concerts just tell u and how much ur negative comment actually matter.

  • I'm sorry for repeating it but when I see this I just know - he's nothing like Steve Perry. He's singing it but sometimes it's really false and - you know, this is actually no criticism, what I'm just trying to say - he's not Steve Perry...

  • Arnel is the Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You will never be able to replace Steve Perry...but Arnel is probably the best one to keep them going.

  • i cant forget this song...THE SOPRANOS Season 6 Finale...I fuckin miss tony!

  • Awesome, well blown away by Arnel's performance -magnificent

  • bring back steve perry !!!!!! and some people said steve had throat cancer or problems with his lungs well he didnt ok...... he just didnt want to sing anymore but he does realize he cant hide from what and who he is

  • he's as close as could be for a replacement...but Steve Perry had much better control and pitch, I hear a lot of flat notes and he's straining in his higher range. All in all, if you HAVE to replace someone like Steve Perry, this guy's pretty good.

  • They didn't have any choice but to replace Steve Perry. He was physically unable to perform anymore.

  • @seattwa he left because they wanted him to have hip surgery and he said it was none of there buisness and it angered him they where meddling in his personal health and affairs

  • Journey was absolutely correct to have Arnel Pineda singing this...it MUST have this sound to even BE THE SONG! If journey had not brought in Arnel, they could not have performed "Don't stop believing" ever again. IT is the vocals that make this song....this had to be...

  • steve perry was 1 in a billion but then again i dont know anyone who sounds this much the same as him ;)

  • @phatkizza707 and that's all that matters

  • who cares where he is from he sounds good and get the job done. :)

  • Steve Perry has one of the greatest voices EVER, but Arnels voice sounds very similar.

  • shouldn't imitate Steve Perry..should do his own piece..and shame on Journey to replace Steve with this person..Like Queen replacing Freddy..really?

  • After three years with Journey, AP is still humble as ever. When he's not touring with the band, he's busy doing shows to raise money for his foundation that helps the poor and the needy in his homeland. That to me is what makes him more admirable!

  • @rockkelly66 im not trying to be mean but his homeland is Philippines
