This is indeed the epitome of great power rock ballad in the late 80’s, we grew up in the 80’s and we knew what a glorious time it was to be alive in that decade. Arnel, you definitely nailed this song to the core. Indeed, indisputably one of the best cover songs ever. You definitely took this song and with your versatile voice, made it something incredibly unique. Your artistic craft delicately made into perfection. As you explore techniques, styles and different approaches in music, you continue to throw kindle on the fire of creativity yielding a magnificent masterpiece! ROCK ON, ARNEL!!!
From Texas. I have watched this video many times. It’s one of my favorites. I have to admit that I have never heard you sing anything that I didn’t think was amazing. Many blessings.
After December 1988 I never listened anymore to this kind of music; neither knew the existence of this Arnel Pineda, only this yr 2022 as I'd been working almost day & late at night before my retirement. It's like better late than never!
Thank you idol Yan nererequest ko everytime mag comment ako The Flame 🔥 and The search is over ♥️♥️♥️napaka husay talaga ilabu AP😘 Sarap sa Tenga ung boses mo nakaka relax kahit paulit2 ko na pinanood ung mga videos mo♥️♥️ sana someday makita Kita at makapag pa autograph at pic sau🙏🙏🙏
Arnel, You were amazing then and you are amazing still! Your story inspires me, your voice touches me, your authenticity moves me! I love you with Journey and I have been their fan since the 70s, but I love your performances with The Zoo just as much! Much love from A True Fan 😊💜🙏💙
Yes , finally found it in your YT channel😊🤗 thanks Arnel, i'll keep coming back here,actually im always here at your YT 😅😂, BTW congrats at your Rodeo Houston concert, what a blast👏👏👏Awesome show Journey and Arnel😊
Sir Arnel! I am one of your solid fans simula palang nung mag start ka sa journey. May request lang sana ako na content if you don't mind. Sana po magkaroon ka dito ng kahit simple na lesson kung paano mo ginagawa yung mga technique sa mga performances mo. Example: yung routine mo before mag gig then about high notes/belting techniques na ginagawa mo for some songs.. Hehe sana maishare mo po saming mga nangangarap 😊 Godbless po idol Arnel 🙏🏻
You are our FLAME, our Angel of Rock! I felt good, my stress reliever....keep on, keep safe and Shalom! Nakaka n ♥️ ka! Now I'm in love! More pls, more to love hahaha! You made my day already! Thank you for all of these! 👏🔥🤘🖖♥️🎸😊
Arnel tienes una voz hermosa!!! Eres increíble,tú energía 💪💪, tú perseverancia te llevó por el camino correcto!!! 👏👏eres una persona especial que brilla con luz propia!!!!! 😘
I will never got tired watching you Arnel, I watched your first concert in Planet Hollywood back in 2008, I watched you in White Water River Amphitheater, and in Key Arena in Seattle! Magaling kang talaga, CABALEN!!!
❤️❤️😘🇺🇸First to comment Idol AP!!!! Am binging to all your awesome vids since Your 2022 tour in PA 👏👏👏😎please please please take very good care of your voice I pray you can keep singing forever 😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏
Hi from New York City! This is an extremely difficult song to sing. And I just found Arnel's channel and was just absolutely floored at his outstanding version. Looks like it was arranged in Arnels much earlier days before he became internationally famous with one of my favorite bands of all time, JOURNEY. Kudos to you Arnel and your band!! 👍👍
Saw Journey earlier this year. Arnel was clearly sick. He was struggling to hit some notes. But, when they played Faithfully, OMG. It was about as perfect as you can imagine. Just unbelievable how talented he is. So glad I found this video. Shows he's been paying his dues like all of us pros. Except, he's just way better. Haha.
When i started watching arnel singing with the journey i was inspired, i research, not as perfect as arnel, but i can now sing journey songs without lowering the key!
I've watched this video multiple times, so versatile,,,his voice is so amazing to this day, watched his concert multiple x and we always had a blast,,,Arnel is so gifted. He is the longest frontman of journey, 15 yrs and still counting. He revived the Legacy of Journey, 10 yrs behind the limelight. Thank you for this video, clear sound, love it
Thank you Noel for these old videos, and being the link to Journey. I want to Time Travel and watch Arnel singing during these days, and tell him, "Man , Dont Stop Believing, there is something big waiting for you. Keep the Flame burning. And most importantly, I would hand him a One thousand peso bill for singing this song, and tell him, this is a cheap price to pay for an international superstar and rock icon as you. And of course I will have the chance to shake his hands and kiss him. And he will smile and grin childishly.
Arnel, no matter what you are singing or who you are singing with, you never cease to amaze me! Your voice is, no doubt, from above. No matter what is going on in life, 🎶 listening to your voice soothes my soul. Thank 💜 you!
Cantas supeeerrrr, me encantas, no sé cómo le haces para cantar igual que los protagonistas de cada canción. Debes de estar agradecido con ese don que Dios te dió. Mil felicitaciones, son una fan tuya. Dios te bendiga.
I get goose bumps every time I hear him cover a song. Like listening to the original artist at the time the song came out. Thank you for such good entertainment and your voice.
He’s got a way of making old songs sound current and relatable to younger generation. These old songs from these videos seemed pale in comparison to Arnel’s rendition of them. He makes them sound even more rock forward than the originals with his raspy and edgy tone to his voice. It’s what actually makes me like his versions better than their originals.
I love listening to my very talented chameleon singer! One in a million talented singer artist...take care and God bless you more AP! Sooo proud of you! Watch this many times and will watch this again & again.
wow..another classic rendition that i keep watchin on and on...simply perfect in all aspects. #brilliant soulful tenor..youre a gift to humanity. #bravo sir AP👏👏👏 #jiaYiaÖ🤘💪
Proud kaau ko nmo Sir AP Cge ko tan-aw sa imo mga video sukad pag 2008(first concert sa chile) nipalit paku a2 ug “pirated” nga cd kay mao 2 nga tym ni sikat ka pagmaau kuyog ang Journey. God bless Sir

Ditto! I love his covers of Journey, too!
Grabe ang Lupppeeetttt..... sobrang ganda ng pag kanta mo dto Lodi.... I really really really LOVE IT.... ❤❤❤
From Texas. I have watched this video many times. It’s one of my favorites. I have to admit that I have never heard you sing anything that I didn’t think was amazing. Many blessings.
I admire Arnel Pineda so much. For me, he's the best rock singer in the Philippines.
Del mundo!!!
Arnel Pineda is the first Filipino international rock star.
I envy the Filipinos, who watched Arnel Pineda in bars in Manila, sing covers before he joined Journey.
After December 1988 I never listened anymore to this kind of music; neither knew the existence of this Arnel Pineda, only this yr 2022 as I'd been working almost day & late at night before my retirement. It's like better late than never!

Classic!!! I love this! I remember during my college days, me and my friends were using RUclips like Spotify to listen to your live covers! 🥹

Thank you for the very nice compliment about Arnel. We Filipinos are so proud of him and for having him as an amazing gift to the music world!
Arnel Pineda is the first Filipino international rock star. He’s famous worldwide.
Love, love, love. Addicted to your voice and persona and how God’s love for you brought you here🙏🏻 More power, Arnel.
A wonderful tribute to this timeless classic by Robin Zander and Cheap Trick.
AP, Every song you put your voice to is magic. You really are Blessed by God. I love this song and you singing it was incredibly awesome thank-you!
Try to check AP's "Listen to your heart". It happened on tv show in the early 80's when he was a kid.
Such a beautiful song! Thank you Arnel!
Arnel u have an angelic voice..!!! And your story was so inspiring...love yah🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I will never got tired watching you Arnel, I watched your first concert in Planet Hollywood back in 2008, I watched you in White Water River Amphitheater, and in Key Arena in Seattle! Magaling kang talaga, CABALEN!!!
You are amazing! I love this song… brings back lots of memories for me. Arnel, you have a beautiful voice. 💜
One of my fave old covers that I don’t get tired of listening to. Thanks for posting it your channel!

Your talent and perseverance inspire me to follow my dreams. We love you man!
sir arnel is the best from local iiyak ka rin song to international frontman of hollywood band journey 🎤
Why do you refer to Journey as a “Hollywood band?” Journey is not from Hollywood, but the band originated in San Francisco.
Super talento voz increible..
One of my fav,in my playlist,keep on rocking Ap.
