Okay, I've been a Journey fan since I purchased their Infinity album (on vinyl) almost 40 years ago. Dang, I'm old. Journey is awesome. They were, and ARE a great band. When Steve Perry QUIT the band I was bummed. For years... no Journey. Then they found Arnel Pineda. If you are such a purist that you can't accept the brilliance of Pineda, then I feel sorry for you. Not only did he resurrect the band, he made them better. Listen to this video. They are amazing... easily as good as they ever were before, and I think better. Forget Pineda, watch the other guys in this video. They are better than ever. Thanks, Arnel.
I was looking for a good band song and I keep on seeing Arnel Pineda's name and kept on ignoring it. Then I click on one video. This is just this month. Now I'm a huge fan of the singer. I read the story and the original Steve Perry, he was great to hear but he didn't had this stage magic Pineda has. This guy is so pleasing to watch. I've been listening since then. Will definitely buy the CD to keep. The life story of himself is just as amazing, as the Journey band. This group have found each other, perfect match.
Pineda is a better person, a better singer, and better period. he actually cares to be on stage with his band and feels like a part of the band. He brings more soul and feel to the music. Arnel sounds better live than Perry does studio hands down. I've always been a Journey fan but Arnel brought more to the table
I admit, it was tough to make the transition from Perry to Pineda...but they both sound amazing. I think of Pineda as carrying on the Journey sound...with his own unique twist. Phenomenal.
I wouldn't say Perry has a whiny voice, but his voice is much thinner in comparison to Arnel's. Arnel has a broader and more powerful voice. Both great singers though.
Finding Arnel Pineda by Neal Schon at the last hour was by Divine appointment. For a beautiful reason : To bring the magical music of Journey to the new generation who are in dire need of hearing well-written, well-performed music which the generation of today pitifully lacks. Without a doubt, Arnel is a gift to the legendary guys of Journey and Journey is likewise, heaven-sent for Arnel. Let no hatred be, spread the love instead.
Imagine from 10+ yrs old up to now. How many prime years they could've gotten out of Arnel. Mad. If they've found him younger. Arnel has such great pipes even at a young age. He has sang Alone by Heart like nobody's business. Crazy.
Arnel. Arnel.Arnel. This might be my absolute favorite performance of this song since I heard it for the first time as a teenager in the 80's. Simply moving from ALL band members. It's absolutely moving me to tears. TY Journey! I may be too broke to buy tickets but having this performance for free any time in my living room is priceless. To all musicians, TY for this GIFT.
I'm not takin anything away from Steve Perry, Journey wouldn't ever have happened w/o him,,,,But this guy is amazing and can sing ANYTHING!!! I have since listened to everything he's ever done and this guy can cover anyone from Chicago, Air Supply Bon Jovi to Bryan Adams and has plenty of his own originals. I would love to see him Live w/ Journey now!
its like a drug, it just kept on feeding you in, and you just kept on taking it in...'Oh my god, Journey... oh my god Arnel....Oh my god, keep the 80's dream going.......
To be honest. No one can replace Steve Perry, point taken. I don't like Arnel's first performances but as the time goes on, he gets better and better. He use Perry's voice as a base and he makes his own version. I appreciate.
Arnel was adamant first to use Perry's voice in the beginning but Schon and Cain told him that they want him to sound close to Perry's for the audience. But as soon as Arnel has build up his own Fan base, he was allowed to use his own style.
kate fidel the journey is no choice because stev perry is left the band.. thats why journey chosing arnel pineda to replace him.. And i think arnel did not use the voice of stev bcuz arnel is verry talented he is a great singer
His early years in Journey was the best of him. The songs that Steve Perry did, Arnel sang with clarity and richness. It always gives me a goosebumps each time I cane across with this song in Arnel's version
Arnel is the live story of a poor kid making it in the big time. He's amazing beyond words can describe. Steve Perry should have manned up and done a duo concert tour with Arnel. The crowds would have been enormous because everyone loves a hero and his equal being friends!
We can't compare the music in the 80s' and the 21st century because the way of singing is so different from the past. Both Steve and Arnel have their charm.
I'm a singer, I have to disagree.. techniques and ways to sing are pretty much constant unless something has been innovated. If you're talking about style, that can be true if you're talking about music in general of course, but with singing.. it's not like singers in the 21st century suddenly just forgot about all the previous musical styles that came before them, in fact, as a musician, you would know more about music especially those that came before you. Good and experienced singers can easily change their manner of singing if they wanted to emulate different styles and easily switch in and out of whatever style it is they want. The similarity in Arnel and Steve's voices is so uncanny.. but at the same time you can still hear the distinction between that two which makes them unique to their own, and makes them who they are.. themselves.
To all the haters Arnel pineda is voice His vocal range is better than Perry's was , this guy is phenomenal ,Journey made a good decision ,Journey forever ,Arnel forever.
Arnel nails it. It's not like Perry never had his vocal slips either? This just brings the live experience of Journey to a new set of fans for a lot longer time frame. Kudos to all of them for their time and effort in keeping the Journey train running.
I dont think Journey is a cover band now,I believe that now they are much better then before.Arnel,sing with soul,emotion,and HD VOICE peroid.Love to see them live.THE BEST!!!
No questions. You're a die hard Steve Perry fan and you have every right to be. I'm a Journey fan from way back, I love Steve's voice and to be honest, my jaded opinion of him is based on gossip. Every band loses a member, and I think Arnel does a great job paying tribute to THE voice of Journey. No person can be replaced.
What a blessing for Journey and the Filipino heritage for both to find each other. Music causes people to fall in love. Nations to go to war. Countries to elect Presidents. Out of the poverty and pain Arnel held on to his dreams. Now he is blessed and so is Journey to have him. Now so are we to feel hope through those gifted songs we so eagerly waited upon as children.
I think he sings as well as Steve Perry in terms of vocal ability (tone, power, range). They are both amazing singers but just have different styles. Sometimes I like the way Arnel sings a part in a song more than the way Steve did, and sometimes vice versa. It's just great to have 2 options like that lol
Lol but the difference is so small they might as well be the same singer but on different nights. Really, it's amazing. If you were never told they switched singers, and you heard both, there is no way you would know there were two. Come on, admit it ;).
SP is a legend no doubt about it..but AP gives life to what was the Legend before...they're two great singers in two different time of Journey's continuing generation...they may not sound the same but both of them got the chills! And captures the hearts of many...
arnel you are so good.....your voice is amazing...journey is so lucky to found you halfway around the world.....GOOD LUCK on your tours and can't wait to see you when you come to HAMILTON,ONTARIO on SEPTEMBER 25,2012.....
I really love this video with excellent sound quality. I continuously repeated watching and listening this video over and over again and it never fails to give me goosebumps everytime I watch it and I am totally carried away. I can feel Arnel and the band's passion to the song and how people responded and cheered them is awesome. What an excellent job. Hope to see this band perform one day no matter how it costs coz it's worth it.
Actually no. It was more of a coincidence. Prince actually called the boys from Journey saying he 'accidentally' made a song that sounds like Faithfully, which later became Purple Rain.

I didn't think JOURNEY could get any better, but Arnel Pinedo is breathtaking!
Nancy Houle nice , I love it!!!
Its really good, till you listen to Steve Perry side by side

It’s actually Arnol Pineda

Sadly Arnel is 50 and I will miss him so much
crimdell when your band got a great vocalist..you and your band mate will pull out your best..
i thought Arnel was the 3rd person that replaced ST?

great singer as well as stage performance by heart when he sang too.

The crowds reaction at the end of the song speaks for itself. This guy is extremely talented.
Amen. His mother died at a very young age and Arnel was homeless for almost 2 years. This guy deserves EVERYTHING good in life.
I love Steve Perry but this guy is equally as talented and if Journey started with him they would have had the same success.
Best comment I ever saw today
best of D'best comment bro.. 👌💪
facts......
you are saying very well

Arnel Pineda ❤
That was probably a magical night for those who were present.
Arnels voice is the perfect fit. It's as if he was meant to take over from Steve Perry. Seamless transition!
Really fits..

It's nice that Steve supports Arnel and is not bitter...I think to both of them it is all about the music.
I am going to see them next week and I just can't contain myself!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was at this show. Arnel did a great job. This was a great show! You should have heard EVERYONE on the way out of the show!

wow simple amazing greatest version of faithfully no doubt
NO steve perry go back and listen to him sing the high part.
Love Journey with Steve Perry but I dont know how anyone can say anything bad about Arnels voice. Very powerful. He has an amazing voice.
What a voice! Journey is still alive. Big up to Arnel.
I'm in love with Arnel,Steve and Journey!!
I will stand by this band and forever be the fan of Journey :))) Journey Rocks With Arnel Pineda !!
This sounds incredible.

I love you Arnel Pineda. Extra-Ordinary Most Outstanding Well Talented Artist, Singer my fellow Filipino from the Republic Of Philippines WoW!!!
This guy isn't Steve Perry but damn he's good. In my opinion they're interchangeable.
His early years in Journey was the best of him. The songs that Steve Perry did, Arnel sang with clarity and richness. It always gives me a goosebumps each time I cane across with this song in Arnel's version
To anyone who can step into a bands legacy and take it further..we owe you a thank you!!
PROUD FILIPINO HEREE LISTENING 2024❤
Arnel is the live story of a poor kid making it in the big time. He's amazing beyond words can describe.
Steve Perry should have manned up and done a duo concert tour with Arnel. The crowds would have been enormous because everyone loves a hero and his equal being friends!
when it comes to passion..Arnel totally outdoes Steve..Both amazing voices..
im proud to be his countrymen .. die hard fan of journey and arnel even before he joined journey

This song is the inspiration for the greatest song of the 80's Purple Rain
Chandra Siburian Really?
Actually no. It was more of a coincidence. Prince actually called the boys from Journey saying he 'accidentally' made a song that sounds like Faithfully, which later became Purple Rain.
