@ppiaseck you lower keys on guitar by dropping the tuning of the whole instrument. this could be tuned down 5 steps, you couldnt see it visually. it isnt however...:) impressive
if you ask Arnel who is better, him or Steve, who do you think he would say???...it would have nothing to do with him being humble either...Arnel is an honest dude...you know that he knows Steve is better....this is evidenced by the fact that journey had to lower the keys to almost every song for nearly every show after only 1 year of touring...it's because the vocal legacy that Steve Perry created can't be handled in the original keys over a prolonged period of time by any singer...fact
@SixStringDeity exactly...but Steve Perry did it for 8 years without resorting to the lowering key standard that all singers are guilty of due to age....overtouring killed Steve Perry's voice which is sad...but he set the standard...he wrote and performed the vocal melodic lines that no other male on the planet is able to sustain singing night in and night out due to them being too vocally demanding...Arnel is a good, but his natural range is an octave lower than Perry in his prime
@islapilluminati Steve sets the bar too high that even he himself could no longer sustain it...and simply quit. The available concert videos of Steve were recorded and mixed for public release, thus shows him in top form. The band (with SP) may have lowered the keys also while on tour but no proof since cellphones with cameras were not yet available unlike now.
@seyerb actually...Journey NEVER lowered the keys to the songs in live performances during the Perry era...even during their last raised on radio tour, in which Perry's voice was destroyed due to relentless touring, they continued to sing the songs in the original keys despite the fact that Perry was struggling with them...Perry only sang in lower keys in his 40's after leaving Journey and the damage was already done...but of course you are missing the point...Perry had more range and talent:)
@islapilluminati i think you're the one whose missing the point, i never said the new singer is better. I respect your opinion when you say that Journey "NEVER" lowered the keys during the SP days, but unless you're Steve Perry yourself posting on YT anonymously, then your claim has yet to be proven.
@seyerb on numerous occasions in several songs Steve Perry hit an A5 in falsetto both in the studio and live versions..Arnel can't hit that note..even if he had his balls removed he can't..it is beyond his ability...he can't hit it in the studio..he can't hit it live..he can't hit it period..it is a note that when sung with the smoothness, power, and perfection as Perry and only a few others in rock could, makes the jaw drop in astonishment..it puts to rest this bullshit about who is better
@islapilluminati - lol, i'm not gonna argue about this A5 thing..like i said i never said the new singer is better, you're the one whose comparing them.
A few guys on here act like Arnel went up on stage snatched the microphone out of a stunned Steve Perry's hands then kicked his old crippled ass off the stage. Although I liked Steve Perry as a singer I have to admit that would have been kinda badass to see. But he didnt do that. Perry left on his own years and years and years ago. He left....get it? Heee leeeeft. Get over it. It looks like the women in that crowd have. Teehee ;p
JOURNEY HATER's????,, we love & respect ,, steve perry, but we love the songs of JOURNEY.... Journey songs reborn not only in U.S.A,,,but in the Wholewideworld... bcoz of Neal,A.P. and the rest of the band... Respect JOURNEY if you are truly fan of JRNY forever .... Journey Genious Rock Band .... for the genious music rock fans around the world.... Eclipse inspirational album.. rock the Earth..
Ok honestly I hate how in almost every journey vid I see people compare arnel with steve darn move on steve was the best but arnel is the best thing that happened to journey ever since steve so I think that kinda puts then on an even keel though arnel still has a lot to do but can't we all just have fun with the vid and not have to see comments comparing them?
Spaceghost please stop. You're ruining it for Steve, I loved Steve and I have moved on. You are misrepresenting a legend and just have people react negatively to Steve. He is at peace with what he is doing. Are you a paid crying lady, the kind they pay at funerals?
@uptrendvideo2000 Sorry. No way. Go get either "Greatest Hits Live" or "Live In Houston: The Escape Tour". Really listen to Perry and think about what you're saying. There is no way Arnel - who is very good - is better than Perry in his prime.
@guitarguy7480 I love arnel but I agree I own greatest hits live and houston:the escape tour and it was just awesome.....I love arnel and all but I hate the guys that keep on saying that he is better than steve :/
@uptrendvideo2000 arnel is good but no one can replace steve i aint saying i don't like arnel but to say arnel is better is simply naive and BTW steve got famous for his clear crisp "tenor" voice just like arnel so from what you were saying it was kinda like you were saying that steve wasnt a tenor LoL no offense bro I love arnel and all since I'm a Filipino but to say that he is better than Steve is just naive
@2012Steelerfan exactly...that is what these Arnel fanboys do not understand...I am a musician...Arnel is a good singer....but he is not a true tenor...his natural vocal range is roughly an octave lower than Perry...if you compare them in their primes, the story remains the same...even a versatile alto can strain his voice to sing Perry's original vocal lines...but for how long?...only 1 year of touring in the case of Arnel...every song written on Eclipse is written in a lower vocal register
@islapilluminati - Yes. I saw Journey's first show with Jeff Scott Soto in Bristow, VA and although his stage presence was cool he was WAY out of his range and straining like crazy as well. It is really hard to sing the early Journey stuff in key because Perry's vocals were way up there.
This new guy Arnel is trying WAY to hard to be Steve Perry!! There is a good reason that we all call Steve "The Voice"!! Journey is embarrassing themselves every time they take the stage with this want-to-be clone of Steve!! Arnel isn't the first time Neal tried to replace Steve Perry with a wanna be!
Sp has great voice but his arrogance sucks!
