Cosimo Crupi Deen and Steve. That's it for me. Arnel just isn't my cup of tea. He looks somewhat out of place. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way.
efesgirl999 This comment is spot on,everyone has there own likes and dislikes,for me Arnel is no'1 but thats just me,we all have different taste.....great comment.
I'm 54 & a very long time fan of Journey. I can't believe his voice was not known for so many years. His voice is still Awesome & has surpassed Steve's now. What an Awesome performance this is, in multiple respects!!!
WOW, Deen, is terrific singing lead Don't Stop Believing, Why didn't the band believe in him enough to go for it !!!!!! Love you, Deen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi my name is trevin and I'm the guitarist right of deen in that band and I know deen personally he's an amazing guy who does amazing things for people in need. Without him there would be no video to be commenting on and this is also a boys and girls club page if you have anything to ask or say please message me I'd love to answer questions about my band inhibition so don't be shy
I agree that back in the day, Deen really did a great job singing the Journey songs, and Mother/Father, among others is a great accomplishment... cuz he's playing great drums at the same time he's doing a challenging vocal. That said, it's so tough trying to do these power tunes night after night. No matter how good your technique is, you get tired, you have little vocal injuries... just like tweaking muscles playing sports... and you have to figure out other ways to hit approximate notes. That starts the slide into destruction of your voice. On this video, Deen has many off notes, and many thinner, raspier sections where he's straining. And this is just one song. Hat's off to him for supporting these kinds of activities!
@@PeachWNK Didn't say he was destroyed. I saw a vid of Dean himself describing why he wouldn't want to sing full-time / all the time for a band with Journey's type of songs. He's a great singer & drummer, but I was paraphrasing his words on overuse/abuse. I was also a singer and I began damaging my voice from overuse, and avoiding continual training and decent breaks between gigs. They loved me when I sang Journey and Starship, as well as Zeppelin, Cars, Clash, etc... but got pissed when I started fragging out. Ended up getting out of performing music, and into broadcasting... which worked out pretty well.
@@stevegirard-voiceaudiopodcasts Your original post doesn’t read the way I thought it did, so don’t know what changed. Anyway, I guess my point was you said “back in the day.” Your observation about continual use/abuse speaks for all singers. Not just drummers. And, even the well trained can experience what you’re mentioning. (Including sounding thin. Arnel doesn’t sound so hot anymore.) Steve Perry himself shows that. I’ve watched the interviews, as well. His choice to stay behind the kit seems more based on just not wanting to be a frontman. It wasn’t his gift.
Antonio FN deen has severe stage freight, that's why he declined the frontman job and took on the drums. Shows how talented he is to be able to rock a drum set and sing at the same time. Best of all time if you ask me.
did someone get to ask deen if he wants to sing more than play drums? deen knows the trouble of being a singer, you'll sing all the high notes,13-15 songs everyday for 3-4 months..if he was singing for journey more likely he is now retired and has been replaced by a younger vocalist.journey doesn't need a singer, they need a work horse..the very reason why perry left
five minutes ago i posted on an other vid, that Deen should have become Journey's singer.... But i guess you're right... didn't think about that. But he has the right mix of singing like Steve ( - like the audience knows and loves the songs - ) without trying to imitate his voice.
The very reason it's such a shame they couldn't make it work with Greg Rolie on keyboards/vocals and Perry as lead/co-vocalist. Just listen to Feeling That Way/Anytime. Gregg had the perfect voice for lead vocals on some material and their voices complemented each other's at other times. It's not like Gregg was a slouch as a vocalist... considering he was their singer in their first 4 albums and the voice most associated with Santana. Had Rolie and Perry been able to coexist, who knows how long each of them could have continued with Journey.
I agree...a front mans job is strainuous....your vocal cords could sufffer... for keeping such acrobatic notes...on and on ...song after song...they do need a backup singer to give any front man a break in between...they need to take care...more...
Absolutely love this guy! If Journey were smart they would get him back in the band and front it. Whats amazing he is not trying to sound like Perry or even come from a cover band who IS trying to sound like Perry, that is the way he sings. Freaking #Revolution Saints!
Deen is not trying to be another Steve Perry. It just he can sing very good, just like Steve. Plus do both sing and play the drums. All Journey was looking far in Steve , was to be their lead singer. And that's what Steve did. Until he start having health problems with his hip. Plus top it off the death of his mom. Now that would pass me into depression. The lost of your mom. So Steve had a lost of things going against him. But he's back with the love and help of his late girlfriend, Kellie Nash. 🙏
He should be Journey’s lead vocalist. He sounds better than Arnel. He sounds as close to Steve Perry than anyone I’ve ever listened to. He’s awesome at holding those long high notes.
The trouble of being a singer as I read below. That would be it, he is a great singer, never understood why he wasn't the new Journey singer, maybe it is a very hard job, but Deen has such a great voice, I just wished he would go for it.
I'd love to see Castronov singing regularly. I imagine a LOT of people would. He's amazing. In fact, I'd say he's on the same level as Steve Perry. That's not easy to do. But it's also NOT easy to be a front man, and from what I keep reading, Deen's got a bad case of stage fright. That, and apparently he loves the drums. I can understand singing 'once in a while' with circumstances like that. Don't push the man, if Journey's lucky enough to get him back. Let him sing when he wants to. Let's enjoy hearing him when we get to.
Deen refused to lead the band. He said he would rather play drums and sing a few. arnel was a mistake. arnel has no soul in his voice like Steve or Deen.
Just listened to some of Deen vocals some parts of his voice is there that sounds like Steve Perry but I don't know if he could do a whole concert night after night he has vocal range but srry ppl he is No Steve Perry no one is no one will ever b Steve Perry there's Only One
Deen Is as good as steve if you ask me and better because he plays the drums for them as well for the other steve too and yes he can sing the entire concert nite after night he did so for several months when they lost there last singer while still on tour! yes there will never be another steve perry and there will never be another Deen Castronovo either! you dont even know how good he really is! and yes he is that good!
listen nobody is going to replace steve perry and i hope he returns to journey sometime soon. Deen just blows me away with his vocal talent and of course hes a amazing drummer.
Deen is amazing but he will not sustain it in just one concert, he isnt trained to do it, if he did train for sure he will , arnel has the range and power better than steve
they rocked hope Deen gets back to journey or start bad English up with Waite guitarist from giant and keyboardist from giant and the original bass player for English and hardliners rock on dean
Yeah would of love to seen that I told bill leverty on his Facebook page that he needed to play guitar and reunite bad English cause Neal schon still plays guitar for journey
Deen Castronovo has one hell of a voice.
Agreed
Pero se droga,ese es el problema de el, intenta dejar,ojala lo logre
Deen is so talented . As a drummer, I appreciate his work behind a kit. As a non-singer, I’m blown away by his vocals.
Deen >Steve Smith
This guy is a great drummer and a great singer!
I totally agree!! Deen is multi talented to say the least!!
Not only a great singer/ drummer, but one hell of a nice guy, the way he donates his time for the kids.
If nobody here has heard Deen sing "Mother Father", then you are missing OUT!!
Damn straight... And it's a more difficult song to sing!
Cosimo Crupi Deen and Steve. That's it for me. Arnel just isn't my cup of tea. He looks somewhat out of place. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way.
efesgirl999 This comment is spot on,everyone has there own likes and dislikes,for me Arnel is no'1 but thats just me,we all have different taste.....great comment.
Mordorian Queen I have heard him sing it he's good
you need to see him sing Keep on Running its even better!!
what a massive voice! wow! this has been the musical performance that kicked my ass for the day!
I'm 54 & a very long time fan of Journey. I can't believe his voice was not known for so many years. His voice is still Awesome & has surpassed Steve's now. What an Awesome performance this is, in multiple respects!!!
He's not trying to be like Steve, he's one of the best drummers in the world. He's a monster, double bass monster that is!
Deen u are awesome man.. We love u. Great recovery. God is really working for u
Awesome Drummer with great voice. Very rare being... The tenor is legacy
The best version outside from SP’s original version I’ve heard...the man can sing & great rock voice to go along w/it.
yep he is the next best
Third maybe. Counting Arnel's version.
Very awesome performance. Love it.
Love that man's voice!
WOW, Deen, is terrific singing lead Don't Stop Believing, Why didn't the band believe in him enough to go for it !!!!!! Love you, Deen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've always loved him as a drummer, but this man is an AMAZING singer. I'm wondering if there's anything he can't do. Thumbs up for Deeno!
Pineda is better
@@idolbackyendurorider8100 but we are talking about Deen here ☺
One thing that drugs, booze and the court system cannot take away from this man is TALENT!
Fantastic Deen Castronovo! He comes very close to Steve Perry's voice.
deen very humble person. ..amazing voice. ...keep on running. .hopefully recovery....a.s.a.p. wish. .back on journey. ..good luck bro.
deen is good on but listen it is so thin voice but it good
Love you brother.
Baxter.
Sale y entra de nuevo a REABILITACION, pobre,
I’m blown away by his vocals.
WOWW....I got chills..... Mr Castronovo, you should have been the lead vocalist of your band....
Deen Castronova is a great singer he sounds exactly like Steve Perry he is one in a million
Does not sound exactly like Steve

He could train for a year and be fine
Wise comment.Explains a whole lot.thank you.
He just did a live concert with Neal Schon less than two years ago. (2019) He doesn’t sound “destroyed” in that one. The full concert is up.

he is AMAZING..love it
I'm not against Pineda but Castrovo killed it nxt to Perry, awesome
Pineda is nowhere next to Perry nor Castranovo..idk how the people are saying otherwise🤔
Strongly disagree
no arnel pineda sings soulffully like steve perry..
Yes,
Oh but AP
Can sing just about anything! This guy's can't do that can they!
deen is killer singin this tune.... he could always do it all .... wow!.....this is super awesome~
What a gift !!!!
what a great singer.
ARNEL IS THE BEST AMONG THE REST😊❤

Just listen too still they ride, awesome
Man i love Deen, him and Steve...epic❤
Awesome. The only one to come close to Steve Perry.
A+
@@pseudowoodo5010 sounds like you don't know much about arnel
@@mattpunk931 Watched them live in person. Deen definitely sounds better in the same songs he did before Arnel.
While playing the drums nonetheless while he was with Journey. It was amazing to watch!
I have to disagree.
Arnel is just as amazing!
Though, I'm pretty sure that he can't play the drums like Deen.
My favorite Deen Castronovo💕💕💕
It's true deen s good but arnel pineda s d best journey ever with his sweet n high cozy pitch tenor voice perfect 4 ds era tanx arnel
Far out i didnt expect that!!! he,s bloody good!
did someone get to ask deen if he wants to sing more than play drums? deen knows the trouble of being a singer, you'll sing all the high notes,13-15 songs everyday for 3-4 months..if he was singing for journey more likely he is now retired and has been replaced by a younger vocalist.journey doesn't need a singer, they need a work horse..the very reason why perry left

I dont have to meet Deen to know that I like him. Great person
Very close to my voice!
Good for Deen. Those are all kids. They did great
Amazing voice
Some guys get all of the talent. I wonder how many people in this audience are thinking, what a voice, yet have no idea what else he can do.
What an awesome man he is
I love you deen
Goosebumps
Absolutely love this guy! If Journey were smart they would get him back in the band and front it. Whats amazing he is not trying to sound like Perry or even come from a cover band who IS trying to sound like Perry, that is the way he sings. Freaking #Revolution Saints!
To be a front man..not only a high pitch .and beautiful voice is enough for a front man..there must be something lacking why journey did not get him
arnel.is the best frontman for journey..15 wonderful years of singing
deen is good but no charisma...just saying..
Arnel.is the best..
HI! my name is trevin:) you see the guitarist from the band your watching! i would like to thank you for the views and support.
Deen is not trying to be another Steve Perry. It just he can sing very good, just like Steve. Plus do both sing and play the drums. All Journey was looking far in Steve , was to be their lead singer.

“Give me a drum set to hide behind” great singer.
Deen got pipes he is impressive these songs while playing drums on other videos
The consistency of voice and travel would be hard on anyone. They are 24/7 pretty much
Amazing job Deen u nailed it
Classy Guy...Rare today!
He should be Journey’s lead vocalist. He sounds better than Arnel. He sounds as close to Steve Perry than anyone I’ve ever listened to. He’s awesome at holding those long high notes.
Deen is so talented!
He's amazing!
It's like someone told deen he would lose his birthday if he didn't sing that perfectly... such an amazing voice
Except for the posture, I guess he quite nailed it!
Deen the best vocalist since Perry who never sang dull time for Journey. Boy did they fucking miss that one. #revolutionsaints
Deen is the only person that sounds so close to Steve perry's voice 98 to 99 percent!!
Wonderful Deen!!!
Deen's the man!
Deene should be lead for Journey. Arnel is good but Deene is classic Journey all the way. He’s been given a huge gift 🎁
🥀🖤🥀AMAZING PERFORMANCE🥀🖤🥀☝️
The trouble of being a singer as I read below. That would be it, he is a great singer, never understood why he wasn't the new Journey singer, maybe it is a very hard job, but Deen has such a great voice, I just wished he would go for it.
i heard he is back with journey again so awesome, next to Steve Perry he is the best they have ever had
I'd love to see Castronov singing regularly. I imagine a LOT of people would. He's amazing. In fact, I'd say he's on the same level as Steve Perry. That's not easy to do.

He might not be as good but he is all heart !!!!
He is genius.
Dean is awesome!
Deen Castronovo GOT TO BE the lead singer of journey
He does 'Still she rides" even better
Still they ride
monteferrante1117 yes. Very good!
his voice has no limit =0 💪💪
Catronovo rocks!
YAY DEEN!!! Why did Journey need Arnel?
Fuck you I just thank god Neal pick my uncle for the band
Mordorian Queen
you don't know why?
because arnel is better than steve and deen.
schon said
Deen refused to lead the band. He said he would rather play drums and sing a few. arnel was a mistake. arnel has no soul in his voice like Steve or Deen.
Pïts Nar true... And it hurt them so much
Deen is a drummer first and foremost. He can sing but he is NOT a front man and he's not embarrassed to admit it.
Lot of guts to take on Steve Perry’s voice
Just listened to some of Deen vocals some parts of his voice is there that sounds like Steve Perry but I don't know if he could do a whole concert night after night he has vocal range but srry ppl he is No Steve Perry no one is no one will ever b Steve Perry there's Only One
He could with training
He’s good, but still an imitation of the original.
If Deen could sing AND play drums at the same time, I don't see why he couldn't.
Deen Is as good as steve if you ask me and better because he plays the drums for them as well for the other steve too and yes he can sing the entire concert nite after night he did so for several months when they lost there last singer while still on tour! yes there will never be another steve perry and there will never be another Deen Castronovo either! you dont even know how good he really is! and yes he is that good!
ItsNotaTuhmah he does both. Listen to mother father with him singing and drumming. It’s amazing
Excellent... Shoulda stayed on
How can those people just sit there?
That guitar solo, ouch. Dean did great
I don’t know how many people know that was a high school student…possibly younger. It’s the Boys and Girls Club.
Deen should be lead singer
when I see you smile
He compliments Steve and arnel nicely
listen nobody is going to replace steve perry and i hope he returns to journey sometime soon. Deen just blows me away with his vocal talent and of course hes a amazing drummer.
Deen could sing with a 97 year old polka band and kick ass. Revolution Saints.
good thing they found Arnel but Deen can tear it up just as awesome
Luis Uriarte better I think
Deen is amazing but he will not sustain it in just one concert, he isnt trained to do it, if he did train for sure he will , arnel has the range and power better than steve
On point!
I beg to differ. Two hour show. ruclips.net/video/nlaNSkv_5BM/видео.html
Amazing,
they rocked hope Deen gets back to journey or start bad English up with Waite guitarist from giant and keyboardist from giant and the original bass player for English and hardliners rock on dean
Saw Bad English and Giant open up for Whitesnake in 1990. Great concert.
Yeah would of love to seen that I told bill leverty on his Facebook page that he needed to play guitar and reunite bad English cause Neal schon still plays guitar for journey
Bill leverty got a song out by himself on RUclips bloom off the rose check it out it grooves
Oh Deen! ♥️
Wow..❤️
Current day, Deen sings Perry better than Augieri, Pineda, and even Steve Perry.
Yea!! Deen's voice is wonderful !!
robert flynn no one tops Perry
I say better than the others but no not better than Steve in his prime!
Jeff scott soto was probably the best and Augieri.
@@gunnerfargond I reverse your order.....
If Arnel is ever not playing with Journey, Deen can easily fill in.
Always thought Dean nailed the vocals! His phrasing and way he hits the notes is closer to Perry than Arnel
Doubt if Dean can sing 22 songs straight in one night just what Arnel Pineda is doing. How much more 3 nights in a row .
@@loyiemontes5014 He’s done plenty of shows where he’s sung more than three songs, but that always seems to be the argument.
excelente hubieron grupos similares como GUIFFRIA pero nada se compara a JOURNEY que viva para siempre.
Castronovo podría ser el cantante principal de Journey....genial
impressive considering the band couldn't stay in key!
Better than any "tribute" band out there!
