- Arnel may never be able to win every single Journey die hard fan (which is never possible) but what matters most is that he stood his ground and convinced many that he deserves to be where he is now.
AP's story never ceases to amaze me particularly how he had won over many of the long time fans of Journey who had first been skeptical of his entry to this iconic legendary band. He won them over with his incredible talent and character which is truly a remarkable feat.
This video is a tribute to him - how he started in Journey and how he is doing today - in the eyes of Journey fans.
(many thanks to those who posted photos in AP's site as well as in his Friendster account)

When Steve left I was crushed and for several years could not accept his replacement. Now, I'm older (too old some days) and, hopefully wiser, and I've come to enjoy Arnel and the unique contribution he makes to us, the fans of Journey. I have come to know the Filipino people as a loving, gentle segment of mankind.....Efren Reyes, the absolute master of 9-ball, Manny Pacquiao, the greatest boxer of all time, and now Arnel Pineda. God Bless Journey!
His Mom left him with a great legacy ... Love & Kindness
Armed saved Journey! It would be a shame if he was never found by the group, I love that Journey is still alive!!! They are all amazing!!!!Rock on!!!!
I saw them in concert...very impressed with Mr. Pineda.
I was up close and have pix of him singing right to me...looking me in the eyes. He is an awesome performer. Hope to see him again.
Love Arnel
So handsome
Wonderful voice
Great smile
he has the hardest gig in the world....imagine his doubts and fears....then remember he never ran....he faced the firing squad....and journey and its fans are the better. for his courage
AP is a very humble very talented man. He's earning at leat 15 million $ a year and yet remains the same. Never got bitter with those who hate him.
I know those who can get enough with their nasty comments about him, they just keep coming back to AP's video to watch him and listen to his powerful voice and little by little
they begin to accept. PEACE TO ALL. No Nuke in our lifetime.
to all them haters... let me see if you can sing them songs..... arnel kills it everytime... he's the shits.. he makes people wanna hear journey song again... he's the bomb...
I been a Journey fan from the 70 to now Journey today just as awesome now as they was then seen journey 3 time with Arnel
This man has what it takes to be a frontman in any BAND.love&peace to all. Stop hating.
I never thought he was hated, I could see in the beginning people being skeptical but after hearing him belt out one or two tunes I was sold.
He is amazing guy...Thank you journey for choosing him, he deserved it.
Still here in 2020 for the Journey band with Arnel Pineda. Hope they continue their magical performance, more success and long good health to the group.
He’s great. A very humble man ! Keeping the Journey legacy alive!
what ever happened to Mr. Penida remember there is a reason. Mr. Penida was honest to himself & God blessed him... good luck to Mr. Arnel Penida & Journey...His voice is amazing
Ipinapakita ni Arnel ang kultura ng mga pilipino na mababa ang loob at humble. Sabi nga ng kasabihan ng mga pinoy, pag binato ka ng bato, batuhin mo ng tinapay, be strong AP Pinoy loves you!!🇵🇭❣️
Arnel, welcome. My Spirit is alive listening to your story, welcome.
AP is truly a exceptionally tallented Man. I've seen this phenomenal BAND live. AP. KEEP BELIEVING BROTHER
Nobody ever hated Arnel. He's been well embraced by all us Journey fans. The haters were racists, no other explanation. Good Job for Arnel!
He rocks, is beautiful inside and out. you can tell the other band members enjoy being with him on and off the stage. please Arnel, don't stop jumping all over the stage! we love it!!!!
Arnel is phenominal. There will always be diehard originals fans to the original music. This man deserved an incredible break because he is incredibly talented. I don't know how he went so long without being discovered. He could sing for me anytime:) He had a tough life and has earned his incredible Journey! No pun intended.
I really appreciate what this man has done I lived in the same place as he did and he worked hard to get where he is now
Amazing Arnel! I became fan of Journey just because of You Arnel ❤️♥️♥️
Despite cultural differences, Arnel proved, not only to critics but, to himself, that he is truly blessed with a gifted voice box. He overcame barriers to self-esteem and success. Journey’s founding elite members saw a need for filling the void and to revitalized the interest of fans and fans-to-be. Journey should continue playing those oldies, but goodies. May you all and ARNEL PINEDA gain more success in the future! Band members of Journey are the U.S. Ambassadors to the world of HOPE!
Arnel has a beautiful voice !
Nobody can put a good man down. Arnel has a pure heart. His humility is his own shield against his haters and bashers. Thousands may not like him but MILLIONS LOVE HIM! We love you Arnel, always keep your feet on the ground. You are a BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT.
he;s so good GOD has blessed this man with so much i pray he keeps the faith and never gives up on anything GOD puts in front of him GOD bless you
He's amazing. I love Steve Perry, but Arnel does a phenomenal job. Saw them in concert & he has wonderful stage presence & great vocals!
This man is a phenomenal performer and has brought true life back to a band that was certainly floundering. I am so happy for him and for Journey as a whole! Thanks for posting this video.
yes there is no journey without SP but people get old and there is always new talent that will rise.all i can say is journey cant continue to their sucsses without Arnel if all of you fans still wants to stay journey around then accept that there is a new guy that was doing his best to get our journey alive.so dont judge and lets just continue enjoy some good stuff from "JOURNEY"
Love this guy Perry was good Arnel is it allso
Being a Journey Fan forever

Its his destiny to join this group band..
Arnel you're amazing... You totally rock d new & old gen.... :)
I LOVE Steve Perry! I LOVE Arnel Pineda just as much!!! Both beautiful men with amazing vocals. I just appreciate great talent and humble sweet men like them. God bless them both!
I love both SP and AP
Sp was first the ap is the last and the rest is history
Arnel voice is a gift of god.His life is a miracle from his maker.When you retire, they will remember you that you give ot all for the love of music.Love you forever.
Just close your eyes and listen to his vocal talent thanks to you Arnel for keeping Journey with us for many more years both Steve and Arnel have their place in this band and in our hearts equally.
you have to be crazy not to like Arnel Pineda. He's a brave man and an over comer. What a voice.
AP, you are the best! We love you!
It is not abt the age or whatsoeveh...It is abt the gift that he utilizes thru heart & soul. God given gift & was portrayed as a good role model to the mass with humbleness, humility &modesty. Good person always blessed! He did ordinary things & God made & gave him believable super xtra ordinary things he shared to everyone. ;)))
Love Journey ❤️ Arnel is great, thank you Neal the vision was there
Arnel propelled Journey & toured around the world which never been done by any past lead singer of the band, badass singer💪
God is good! Faith and believe in God ist the strongest weapon to all unkind people. That song from journey " Don't stop believen" has a very strong impact. Thank you God and thank you Journey.
I love Arnel...Hell if I weren't already married, I'd ask him to marry me! lol
Discrimination is a big problem of the world..its your problems if you dont heard the golden voice of AP..proud of you AP what ever..👍😉💃
"It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country but rather who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens."
I'm a die-hard Journey fan and like a first love, once it's over you never forget it. No , he's no Steve Perry but that's OK with me in that it's the closest they could have found. -and Arnel looks to be a good man and humanitarian. Steve Perry couldn't keep going at such a high level of vocal performance and he still sings great for 62 which I find hard to believe. We all get to relive the memories and enjoy new Journey music. Good for you Arnel. Love ya!
Dee Rieman I agree I'm a die hard Journey fan too and yes Arnel had big huge shoes to fill I believe he did a fantastic job
Dee Rieman Steve was out of the band in 1995 because they wanted him to rush hip surgery and he refused so Neil replaced him it wasn't his age that being said Arnel is great and a nice person its time to let Steve live his own life we have the memories
I love him to pieces no matter what, this tribute is so touching. Made me 😭😢😭
Everybody has the right to their opinion
you don't like it don't listen to it. I think he's great just like the rest of the group.
Amazing Guy. The Best!!!
When all was said and done, I think Arnel's first love is singing for the sake of singing because she loves it so much. Because if he didn't love it he'll just stop and just say to hell with it all. He's been waiting for almost 20 years to get a break here in Phil to no avail. Journey saved him after he saved himself from booze and drugs. Singing to bring fortune and fame is just an afterthought and he is thankful to God for that and thankful too that fame and fortune came when he was able to get himself from the dumps.
AP is so good and no one can replace him for he have a unique voice. I love his voice for he is so talented.
Arnel is so great !! Love his voice !! Stop all the hating on him !
We all love Steve Perry just as I do those are big shoes to fill but Arnel would be my choice to sing Steve Perry's songs he's so great 😘💜😘💜
my god...too good to be hated...i guess it's better to appreciate .....a thing of beauty is a joy forever.
I don’t care if who the lead singer of journey is , I love journey. I like arnel more than I like perry they’re both excellent singers. I’m a die hard fan of journey regardless of the singer. I’m sooo thankful arnel for continuing journey.
I also don't understand why people discriminate against his race. He is a beautiful man inside and out, no matter his background and skin color. If people don't like him, that is fine but don't throw his race in the mix...He did nothing to you.
I know he is one of the most beautiful men on earth
Anybody who doesn't appreciate this mans talent should not consider themselves a music fan, we all come in different shapes, colors, an beliefs , music fans are truly open minded , Arnel deserves all the respect in the world for attempting and executing a superb performance hands down ,no ifs buts or why!!!
Rigth.Repect is the greatest expression of LOVE❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏im proud of Arnel Pineda very humble beautiful inside and out Godbless your journey my kababayan!!👍
Racist people only dont like Arnel.. who cares..Arnel bring the journey back to spotlight..
May God bless your endeavor Arnel Pineda. Youre excellent. Long live Journey!!
well done Life is a Blessing! and thank you
Thank god we all have are own voice and so do you Neil. Not sure why people would expect you to look or sound like the great Steven. You are a true artist and most of all GENUINE Keep rocking to your own.
Ilove u so much arnel very humble and kind pls stay that way.iloveu
I am so thankful Steve Perry took me through my Journey for loving and enjoying Rock and Roll. And I am so glad the Journey goes on with Arnel Pineda for this generation. All that matters is the music man......may it flow forever for all our hearts.
Journey ON! Rock and Roll FOREVER! Peace be with us all no matter what age we are in right now.

i just wish everyone should just enjoy the present band.FYI: AP never ever claimed to be STEVE PERRY. in fact, AP was a fan of Steve Perry that
why he was singing Journey's songs when he was discovered on RUclips. He could do all other top singer's songs and do justice to theIr songs, and come out clean.....that is how good AP is as a singer. For all we know, Journey Band will be retiring pretty soon and all that they will remember is that, They had a second life with AP and probably will say to each other...for all that's worth, THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND THAT THEY HAD A GOOD LIFE. AP gave them the second chance to do what they love best, PLAY MUSIC. AP gained so much as well; fame and fortune, but he worked hard for it... ..so on this note. I say: TO ALL AP'S BAHERS/HATERS, CHILLLLLLL...stay away from listening to AP if you don't have better to say...
joyful Mangitit , Most of all, they've millions of dollars again! Fucking rich again!
Yes, the haters. Let perry sing again let us say if he can
Hes old and with his broken voice, and the hips might break as well. How many replacements came but you said nothing, and now that they've found the perfect one you cracked? I doubt if it's becoz his race nope it's becoz he's better that perry n the others. Cmon guys u really love to see the destruction of other fellowmen. Had it still been perry singing with the band its surely been a history couple of years ago. You dn
Yes its true..arnel is a big fan of steve..so plse stop argue about it. AP is helping the journey alive that s why ..
Absolutely true a diehard journey Arnel P.
Thank you Arnel and God Bless you and your family
ARNEL IS ARNEL AND WE LOVE HIM.BRAVO ARNEL AND TO YOUR JOURNEY!❤❤❤
Yeah..dont stop believin..even jesus himself can' t please everybody..how come arnel please all..but many loves JOURNEY i' m one of them too..who loves Journey songs..especially arnel performed it with his his whole heart..
I’ve always been a huge fan of Arnel. How can anyone hate him?! He’s incredible and brings new life and energy to Journey. ♥️
Forget comparisons. Enjoy the music!

What ever GUYS....PHILIPPINES IS THE LAND OF SINGERS"..SHOUTING LOUD AND PROUD......GOT ITTTTT...DAMN.
I love Arnel Pineda he is a good looking guy i love his in the group Journey
Thanks for sharing your very nice video for AP...
I was invited by a friend to watch a Journey LIVE Concert with AP as Lead singer-and I'm glad I did attend--because since then I get hooked watching this very talented tenor pitch-perfect singer, many times on LIVE Concerts--AP gives such an amazing performance for spectators to come back over and over again he takes command of the stage and gives such an incredible and awesome, a blast rock LIVE Concert--on top of that he has those iconic Journey musicians that complement his singing capabilities PERFECT !! !!
it's a Concert experience that should not be missed - worth traveling just to see the Journey Concert! Congratulations AP on his 15th year as frontman for Journey this year of 2022- Can't wait to see JourneyLIVE Concert with AP soon !!
Arnel Pineda is Awesome! 🤩😘
Arnel, don't despair you are loved and appreciated..everybody is born "nobody" until they become " " somebody " You are somebody because God's grace bestowed you a special gift. Remain humble you one if a kind a brilliant gem. The world is noticing that the Philippines has so many talent and beauty we are bot called Pearl of the Orient for nothing..❤❤❤❤
Arnel Pineda is from the Philippines , the land of great singers..Everybody here in the Philippines sings in any occassion...get together...gatherings..In the book of Og Mandino it says there" If I feel sad , I will sing "...That 's why if you are depressed then listen to the music...Lately Philippines is considered as the happiest country in the world..We do not feel sad and lonely..We always sing or listen to the music then our loneliness or sadness will be gone..We have no time to worry even with all these calamities and adversities, Filipinos.can still afford to smile and laugh...Arnel Pineda is just one of the Filipinos who has so much courage to rise above problems and difficulties..He kept believing that everything will be alright with God's help.....
the bottom line here is the racist,you can never destroy a goodmans heart,i love arnel not because im a filipino but arnel teach the world to be a good man thats the values of the filipinos that can never erase to each one of us...
love him God bless you
Arnel. it's ur time.. THE sun shines for everyone... ur a blessing
Steve perry's fans are scared n jealous for Arnel can take Steve job very easily.. I agree with you
mark sta ana I agree Arnel is fantastic he did Journey justice and I thank him for keeping Journey alive in the 2000s. I wish all true journey fans would just accept the fact he's filling some big shoes and has done it well
Chingseng....3 words for you “ARE YOU CRAZZZZY”!!!!!! Give your head a shake and a smack as well while your at it!
Well said Mark! Greetings from America! I Love Filipino's so much, I married my wife in Dumaguette City 13yrs ago! A True Blessing just like Arnel! I'm very Happy for him and his family! Blessings to you and your family! Mabuhay my friend! Peace!
He is my fave singer.. Keep on singing idol AP.
To all the haters,if u hate him so much why do u watch and complain,stop this racism and try to make this world a better place
You are awesome brother and yes i said brother you your commander and chief on the stage i love your voice i grew up singing steve perrrys 🎶 and still do i love this band like their all my brothers keep keeping on arnel and journey you ate the best ever on my eye's. Still listening 2020. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
2022, he's still with Journey and they are doing great! They are a perfect match. Arnel's truly amazing since i first heard him perform in our school with the AMO band in the late 80's.
luv him.so close to SP.luv Journey.best band of all time.
Arnel stood d test of time. Keep on rocking
Passion.Pure passion- heart and soul..with an outstanding voice God-given gift to go along with him..it takes more than just a mere singer to invoke deep endearing feelings, & touch and warm your heart...AP is such a blessing almost miracle to happen to Journey and for Journey to take him in the band... AP is at home with Journey, and well hes been with them for 8 years now..and until his voice runs out dry and i dont want that to happen so God Bless you with that.....Keep on rockin Sir Arnel!and whattamen you are an inspiration~
Journey and Arnel got the best bargain out of each other. Arnel got the voice, relative youth, energy and stage presence they are looking for but not a clone of Steve Perry. And they, Journey, has one of the best instrumentalists, and perfect backing voice to complement Arnel. Bravo Journey!!!! may your legacy of quality music last for young people to emulate
He makes Journey a better band
Long live journey!!!
Teary eyes as i was watching this video. It is very well perfect to this tribute to Arnel. Whatsoever we love ❤️ you Arnel. The Phil is so proud of you.❤️
Arnel gave his best performance, this is really a work of sweat and tears job. i hope his team appreciate what he is doing.
GO arnel Go its ur time to shine ! A very humble person even in his stature now . Go PinoY ! serve as an inspiration for our people eventhough im chinese i love the Philippines .
Who would've thought, 14 years ago when this video was uploaded, Arnel will still be Journey's frontman in 2023.
waw... Go arnel.. A very touchy tribute... thanks for the upload...
arnel Pineda is doing such incredible job giving life to this band journey who for real is already dead so stupid journey fans you should be thankful to arnel Pineda instead.
Beth, not really!
I thank I knew Journey the band,because of AP. that helps me stand in all my distress.2022.
watching now 2022...ap is 15yrs frontman of journey...
for me the secret why he stay that long ,is becoz , he never waste what God gave to him..he said before., that to meet the journey band is enough for him..
for him journey is not onlya band , but his family...
The last Journey concert I attended was Raised on Radio at the old barn in STL , awesome memories
ANDY JUMPER, now your talking👍🏻!!! Love Steve Perry!
Though this man is no Steve Perry Arnel sings his heart out and I think he was the right choice for this band so kudos to Arnel, I think he is very humble and he does a wonderful job, thank you Arnel for keeping the journey legend alive 🙏
What an Amazing voice, Arnel! Wow!!! I love it! :-)
The advantage of arnel pineda was being a versatile vocalist .he can be at any band ..he brought the band journey to rise again..the band almost forgotten with the lost of steve perry.🤗
Boyet, Steve Perry and Journey have NEVER been forgotten and NEVER WILL BE!!
Will never be another Steve Perry but would rather see the band continue than end.
