Steve, Brian Johnson replaced the late Bon Scott 44 years ago and he STILL has haters! Keyboard Warriors are miserable people who love to spread misery. I agree with you. Arnell answers to his band mates only, when it comes to his performances. Hang in there Arnell!
Arnel is a very disciplned person. Does NOt smoke, drink or even do drugs so that he can perform and sing. He is overworked because they have been touring since Feb. With only a few days of rest. He is a human being not a machine.
If you know somebody that can sing Journey's catalogue that will last at least for 5 years, then tell Journey's team. I agree with your idea, as you said it will make the camp a better place.
He's great, he sounds just like Perry on some songs. I think they should finish the tour, take a break, and recharge or refocus and get back out there next year.
Cmon Arnel needs a break Remember Perry didn’t tour every year!!! Your vocals need a rest!! Love Journey, always have always will but the man needs a break!!!!!
I hear these “geniuses” discuss in-ear monitors of Arnel and how he is hearing which has no relevance to how his voice is coming to the audience when it is clear as day the audience hears a man with strained vocals. The clips on the net sure sound like he has weaker vocals most likely due to strain. Arnel needs help from Deen Castranovo, drummer, who’s voice sounds strong and he can sing with Arnel at times and maybe sing a song or two giving his voice a break. Greg Rolle could rejoin the band and sing some songs too but this current arrangement where Arnel sings everything is doomed. It can’t work as his voice is too strained.
@@scottflanagan5456, are you serious?! 😂 Look at his discography. Gregg Rolie - 1985 Gringo - 1987 Rough Tracks - 1997 Roots - 2001 Rain Dance (Live 2007) - released 2009 Five Days EP - 2011 Sonic Ranch - 2019 Freedom - 1987 Santana IV - 2016 The Storm - 1991 Eye of The Storm - 1995 Abraxas Pool - 1997 He's also been touring with Ringo Starr for several years. But having him back with journey won't solve anything because he doesn't sing Perry's parts.
@@emgee1909 ok I stand corrected. I thought he left the music business in 1979. Never heard of most of these bands but he has to be around 80 and they have a singer keyboardist in Jonathan Cain
He had one bad singing day, it happens. I saw Journey in Los Angeles about a month ago with Def Leppard. Arnel was in top form that day. He even was showing off his pipes a little.
I’m a huge Steve Perry fan and believe he does have the best voice, ever. With that said, Arnel is amazing. Arguably the hardest catalog to sing, let alone for 17 straight years. Arnel is pushing 60, no 60 year old men can maintain what he has. I love Arnel, but to also be honest, I think Jon and Neal are the bigger problem. Jonathon looked like he hated every moment of the Rio show. Maybe time to hang it up. In my perfect world I would love one last big show, maybe in San Fransisco. Arnel signing, but Perry takes the encore and blows the world away. What a way to wrap it up.
As much as I love Steve perry the greatest singer ever You have to give arnel a lot of credit for what he does every year after year. Also don’t forget arnel is one of Steve’s biggest fans and let’s face it Steve is the one who left the band he was not thrown out Arnel had very big shoes to full. Is he is not Steve but he does a hell of a job also he has won Steve’s approval and Arnel don’t do what Neal and Jon say do what’s best for you and your family and let those two dictate your path in life. Also Arnel should get in touch with Steve he did tell Arnel that if those guys give him a hard time to let him know. So Arnelcall Steve!!🎶😜
If Dean can do it then why did they hire Arnel. Ah he don't have the ability to have his voice last longer, he can only sing two songs each concert to make him last.
Even if Steve Perry died, I am not an Arnel fan, and I think he sounds bad. But the point is Steve is not dead, and he's recording an album. He's very much alive. Journey is over. They barely do albums and their album Freedom they never even performed live their new material, and Arnel isn't a writer. Arnel needs to go, and the rest should retire the band.
If Arnel sounds bad then why he last 17 years and the longest lead singer of Journey, longer than Steve Perry. Why don't you do something better in life so you can make a difference in this world, like what Arnel doing, making Steve Perry's and new Journey's fans happy watching their concerts.
I Love Arnel. Saw Journey in Seattle a few years ago with Arnel and it was great! worth every penny. Hope he hangs in there for a few more years but does take care of himself.
Watch the concert footage. Arnel wasn't only dealing with a tired and strained voice. Arnel was slurring his words. He appeared to be under the influence of something. What? I don't know.
I listened and it's obvious Arnel had bad night and lame excuses won't hold up and honest criticism is not a personal attack- even if it can mistakenly feel like that.
If it was sabotage then why were the other Journey singers not affected? They sounded great. It seems like someone would have noticed someone tinkering with the equipment. That is a very serious allegation to have made. If true is there proof? It is okay to have an off evening. We all do! He should have stepped away that night and gotten some rest and get some medical advice regarding his voice. At the least stop and figure out the equipment issue. Wishing all parties the best.
Arnel needs to do what’s best for Arnel and his family! He needs to look at it as Steve Perry did! If you aren’t into being a music man anymore then he needs to walk away for the sake of his health and well being! Live your life the way you want to live it! Dont listen to fans do not take polls just do what is best for Arnel! Much Love and Respect!🙏🏻✝️♥️🌹
PORQUE no se trata de que Steve esté vivo o muerto es que han tratado de hacer una copia con Arnell de Steve y eso no está bien cada uno tiene lo suyo entonces porque quieren hacer ver a Arnell como el doble de Steve?, eso esta mal porque Steve siempre será uno de los mejores cantantes de Rock y su desempeño en el escenario y lo que transmitía cuando cantaba es su impronta y nadie puede ni siquiera llegar a la imitación, Arnell muy buena voz y gracias por mantener a la banda aún en circulación pero jamás será la "VOZ" ni la Cabra, ese solo es y será Steve Perry, desafortunadamente a Arnell le tocó colocarse unos zapatos demasiado grandes que no lo ha podido usar, deberían dejar que ese chico buscará su propio estilo. Steve Perry el mejor por siempre y para siempre.
Journey needs to stop doing so many concerts Arnel needs a break
Truly, the "Journey" has ended.
the VOICE always the best that born in and Portuguese passion to me im fan over 40 years
love your wievs nobody ever is going to replace Perry and no hes older and not machine time when someone leaves cannot do it anymore
Poor Arnel is toured to death! Just like Steve Perry was. He needs a major break. You'd think they'd learn after Steve Perry left.
Steve, Brian Johnson replaced the late Bon Scott 44 years ago and he STILL has haters! Keyboard Warriors are miserable people who love to spread misery. I agree with you. Arnell answers to his band mates only, when it comes to his performances. Hang in there Arnell!
Great points!
Why don’t they do the same thing that the Eagles do ,put on a recording of Steve Perry and mime to it!
Arnel is a very disciplned person. Does NOt smoke, drink or even do drugs so that he can perform and sing. He is overworked because they have been touring since Feb. With only a few days of rest. He is a human being not a machine.
People need to leave Arnel alone. He does back to back concerts. Have some empathy…
Arnel has been struggling for years….I personally feel a replacement may make the camp a better place to be…
If you know somebody that can sing Journey's catalogue that will last at least for 5 years, then tell Journey's team. I agree with your idea, as you said it will make the camp a better place.
@@nordin4472 look at my channel and look at my full band Journey covers ….Sean Matthew Whiteford - Vocals . He could sing for them right now !
He's great, he sounds just like Perry on some songs. I think they should finish the tour, take a break, and recharge or refocus and get back out there next year.
NOBODY sounds just like Steve Perry on anything!
@@michelecarson2360❤❤❤
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎤Drop💥
Arnel “struggling” still better than anyone commenting could sing these songs. Humans are inherently just that human.
Cmon Arnel needs a break Remember Perry didn’t tour every year!!! Your vocals need a rest!! Love Journey, always have always will but the man needs a break!!!!!

Are you insane, Greg Rollie is NEVER coming back. He retired from music nearly 45 years ago. You obviously know nothing about music or the band

Steve won't do it! He has his own life and career.

Hes also been in Journey 17 years, much longer than Steve was.
Steve Perry is not the king of rock. Dan McCafferty is the king of rock he is the greatest vocalist ever R.I.P.
Dean could sing most of that stuff too.
If Dean can do it then why did they hire Arnel. Ah he don't have the ability to have his voice last longer, he can only sing two songs each concert to make him last.
I saw Journey in Houston last month. They were absolutely terrible. I mean, painful. They have just been found out.
It does take alot out of his voice they should space out the shows more
Best to stop kabayan
Yes, Stay Arnel, you're amazing!
Please stay Arnel!!!❤❤❤
Give Arnel rest for the meantime 🤟🎵🥁🎸🎤🎹🎶🇵🇭♾️♾️♾️

I Love Arnel. Saw Journey in Seattle a few years ago with Arnel and it was great! worth every penny. Hope he hangs in there for a few more years but does take care of himself.
If Arnel can't take criticism he's in the wrong business. Not everyone likes Arnel. Grow up!
Love your comments . I think people need to lighten up - those songs are like from 1 - 10, were mostly 11 in difficulty level .
Watch the concert footage. Arnel wasn't only dealing with a tired and strained voice. Arnel was slurring his words. He appeared to be under the influence of something. What? I don't know.
I saw that. Wow!
Hopefully it’s not drugs
I think it is.
I listened and it's obvious Arnel had bad night and lame excuses won't hold up and honest criticism is not a personal attack- even if it can mistakenly feel like that.
I saw Journey on August 25th at SOFI Stadium. Arnie and the rest of the band sounded great. It was a blast!
They are getting to the end of the line.. And the seem to be loosing money quickly..
They should hire that old guy that sang the Journey song on America’s got Talent!
Arnel is good but when i watch him sing it looks like he has to work at it. Perry made it look so dog gone easy
Dear Arnel,
“Won’t you just STAY with me awhile”?
****STAY****

arnel good voice energy stage age57
He always did suck he can go at anytime Journey has been toast ever since the canned JSS

Augerie was the best replacement
