Ha! What, he wants a merit badge for apologizing for rape and going on a psychotic, assault filled drug rage tripout?! He apologized because he wants his gig back. He’s a highly talented guy who didn’t need to get that deep down the road into that shit. He’s highly lucky he got back his gig. He’ll probably screw up again. Needs serious treatment.
jemsar2 he was on a flight once with non existent closet space. He had a drum with him and needed it stored. I figured it out, rearranged a few things etc before I recognized who he was. I even asked- are you in a band or something? LOL When he said his name I about passed out. He was so appreciative and really kind to the crew. Hope he is able to get his life on track.
I played drums in a band that opened up for Bad English when they had the hit "When I see You Smile" The first night on tour, I sat behind Dean and watched him. The second night, I could barely play because of what brilliance i had seen the first night. He is amazing! He was really nice to me on tour, the few times we talked. When I got home I started shedding on what I had learned from him, and it changed my drumming for the better......that is an understatement. I got to reconnect with him when he was in Hardline, and opened up for Journey a couple times when he was with them. I can't thank him enough for the very high bar in drumming that he set, that made me a much better drummer. I wish him love, and nothing but the best. Go Dean!
I love Dean he is a man who rises above them all and im glad journey has hired him back , like Steve Perry he has talent and voice that cant be denied and I will always be behind him, BRAVO DEAN ...LOVE YOU
I love Deen. So happy he is back with the Journey, they gave him a second chance. He's made mistakes, got his life straightened out and Journey took him back. HAPPY they did.
Most people have issues at one point or another. It's clear that he's good person. The fact that not only was he grateful to be let go from Journey to get help, but he feels he tarnished the band's reputation. That's a real standup admission.
He is the best & the biggest mentor in my life he has had some bad times but is the best guy in the world !!! I love him !!!! He is an awesome person !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope that Deen can continue to contribute to music, he is a wonderfully talented musician and he needs to continue to tell his story the good and bad. You never know who is going to be lifted up by it when nothing else will get through. Music is a POWERFUL language, there’s a reason god created it!
I met Dean years ago when members of Journey, Stix and REO speedwagon came to watch my band at a local bar in Denver. Dean was super cool and they played a couple songs on our equipment. Dean was very complimentary, no ego at all and autographed my snare drum head. Prayers for Dean as he stays clean and moves on with his life.
Deen,,,been a fan of yours for MANY many years. You have an AMAZING voice and by far one of the best in the rock world right now as always. Don't stray from the track that you are on. You have awesome people around you and a fan base that wants to see you succeed. Rock on Brother.
Wow, Dean was his own worst enemy. An extremely gifted person, but only God can help him to redeem him and most importantly his soul. God bless you and hope you have returned to the one who saves the soul. Your messiah Yahushua. God bless you.
I met Deen at the airport in Puerto Rico and he is a very nice and humble guy. I pray for him to continue the Journey in the right track. Blessings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷.
Keep Jesus real to the world of rock brother!! Everyone expects you to fail but when you stand and keep on standing people will beat a path to your door to find out how you did it!! Jesus is the answer to this lost and dying world!! Keep shining your light brother. Much respect!!
Wow, one of the few men in the music business that speaks truth. Thanks for your honesty and willingness to take responsibility for your struggle. I have struggled my whole life with self hate and sabotage through drugs and alcohol. It is a pain that I wouldn’t wish in anyone. My faith keeps me, love pushes me onward. Thank you Deen for opening your life up and helping others know we’re not alone! Godspeed brother..😎🤙🏼
When you commit your life to Christ , real commitment, that's when the devil hits you the hardest. What Dean is going thru is the hard part. Getting back up is the answer ,with prayer and supplication in all things.
@@nightstarmusic7 Ohhhh so true! The devil does hit you the hardest when you commit your life to Christ.....I have a poster that asks "have you tormented the devil today", I love it!!
I am so SUPER EXCITED That Deeno will be playing with journey in Chicago this week!!tHe makes Journey Complete !! I couldn’t imagine the band without him everybody makes mistakes!! But we’re all just human !! So Deeno YES !!ROCk IT OUT in Chicago like you always do!!Love You 💋❤️🔥💀💕k
Deen you have all my love and always in my prayers. You are an amazing man and God has gifted you in many ways. Be happy and never forget to put God first. You got this my brother.
What a Great comeback and a fabulous musician! Mr, you have your fans backing you up. Don"t ever give up. Your an icon for everyone who would take the same road you did. Your an inspiration!You have great determination and the creator of the universe looking after you because he knows your with it!
Much respect Dean and best of luck on your 'Journey'. Your insight and humble attitude is a strength. "Never look down upon a man, unless you are helping him up". Keep up the great work bro.
my addiction ended when I excepted responsibility for my life, my relapse accord due to PSTD from working EMS, with help from a friend and running and getting back into endurance sports and my wife and sister I got better , I'm glad for Dean he's an incredible drummer and sounds like it's falling into place for him, also this band revolution saints is bad ass!!!
An AMAZING drummer AND singer...I first heard Deen on a Christian album by Mathew Ward called FORTRESS...blew me away and have been a huge fan ever since. Everyone makes mistakes, some worse than others, great to see him playing again.
What an inspirational story.. Deen is a beast on drums and vocals and even a better man. He took responsibility for his actions and owned it. Huge respect dude. Such a huge fan of yours. And good on you, Journey for giving second chances at life to both Deen and Arnel. And to all the people who have helped Deen along in his recovery and support, you guys are amazing. We're all human and make mistakes. Live up to them, own it and keep going forward...
@@shabozz8762 are you a perfect human being? Are your family and friends perfect? Look at Kobe Bryant. He rose from that crazy fiasco we all know about and turned out to be a better person, husband and father and someone everyone respected. Sadly he is no longer here. But at least he and Deen took responsibility for their actions and can learn from their obviously huge mistakes. And obviously, Deen's wife forgave him and gave him another chance as they are back together again. Keep a positive mind... The best road you can take is the high road. Either you keep dwelling in your downfalls and keep sinking deeper into that hole, or you can choose to do better and become a better person. Shame on you for your negativity.
@@MiklehMouse You are right, I am not a perfect human being, neither are my family and friends, but I can assure you that none of them have raped or sexually abused a woman. Anyone who gains inspiration from someone who performs such a despicable act is sick. I wonder if you would still be inspired by him if it was your daughter that he raped. You should rethink your family morals.. if you have any.
Wow, light in the dark, awesome song. I have been wondering for years now when we would be hearing some good ole rock n roll with some substance, heart and feeling. These three amigos are incredible together, great combination, I look forward to checking out all your stuff
Our adult ,son is doing this , he is currently at rock bottom and refuses help even from his loved ones ; he is suicidal on a regular basis and has us walking on thin ice all the time , he’s been doing this for 20 years , in and out of hospitals but never stays sober , can’t keep a job , can’t even accept responsibility or cope with his own choices , I use to be a devoted Christian for many years and cried and prayed for him to change daily but he just gets worse which I’ve finally realized that there is no god helping anyone , if there is a god then apparently he loves to see people suffering, because prayers are useless and the world continues to fail and suffer
I am so sorry. Please don’t turn away from our Father in Heaven! It is not Him who is causing all this worldwide misery-His Word tells us that the evil one will walk to and fro seeking to destroy lives. We humans live in rebellion to the Father’s Word. He is Righteous…He gave us His Word and His Son and we have gone our own way and not His Way. I will pray for you and your family…it is not too late to come back to Him, but time is very short. He will soon deal with all this evil and this madness and the Rightful King Yahshua will Rule forever. 🙏🏻
He has so much of the Steve Perry......Some of those live Journey performances are unbelievable. And it's funny, because it's almost like the music is trapped into writing those 80's songs, melodically or vocally. But I remember, Steve Perry was the pinnacle male vocalist for people of that era. I'd almost like to hear what Deen can do with an acoustic guitar. Every once in a while a country singer jumps out. Steve Perry always had that Sam Cooke velvety sound in his ears, that's where it all started, and he expanded it to become himself, and his voice, was simply that of Steve Perry. I suppose my hope for Deen is that he (obviously stays joyful, hopeful and sober) finds something that vocally is all of his own. Something in a country/contemporary Christian setting just might be glorious. Peace and my sincere best wishes.
I didn’t know that Deen went to Hazelden. It’s the best rehab in the country. He was very fortunate to be able to go there. I’m so glad that he’s doing well now.
Saw him twice with Journey,what a talented individual he is.Got a lot of respect for Deen & we've all made the odd mistake here and there right? I know i have.He's come back from the precipice and survived.
Dean - I’ve been listening to you sing on RUclips and I have to tell you that you have incredible vocals. So many people wish that they could sing like you you’ve been blessed. Today I was listening to you add and I think I played that song over five times vocals were amazing. Then I decided I was gonna compare you and Steve Perry. I listen to both of you singing that song and honestly, you both sound so similar, but I like the way you sang it better. Amazing God voice . South Salem boy here, friends with Coutis, Vince, and JK-C. Have a good one, bro
Journey lost out when they chose not to bring Deen back... His drums made the band ROCK hard again, and he added so much to the vocal harmonies. I’m sorry but the Steve Smith of today is more like a Buddha jazz drummer than a rock drummer. BRING DEEN BACK JOURNEY!!!
What an AWESOME upload! God bless Deen. It's always said that people deserve a 2nd chance. Sometimes they deserve more than that. Thank god I never had an issue with drugs or alcohol but as a Veteran, I have met a lot of brothers & sisters that did. When I worked at a V.A. Medical Center, there were many Vets that worked with me that went through programs and got jobs at the V.A. Some had to go through the program more than once to get right. But most did, kept their jobs and paid the rent. My point, try to understand, if you have never dealt with the issues like Deen had, don't judge. May God continue to bless you Deen. Going to buy some of your discs now...
I love Deen, I think he is a nice guy destroyed with drugs, I hope he continue to get better and get back with Journey, the fans will wait for him like myself, we won't be going anywhere..love from the Philippines.
Thanks for posting this! I love how honestly Deen Castronovo shares his struggles, takes ownership and responsibility for his actions and is committed to his recovery. What else can you do? We are all recovering from something. I admire and respect this man. And now he is back with Journey. Like he said, there are people who know the real Deen and they are still loyal and committed to him. That's beautiful. Didn't really know Deen until the Journey concert 6 weeks ago. When he sang Mother, Father, with Journey, with tears streaming down his face, that's when I took note and wanted to find out more about him.
We love you Deen ! Your voice and talent are bar none . I’m happy to hear all of that hard road you went through… cause you know what ? It made you a better person !💜 Come soon to Durham NC when you guys tour ! ( DPAC ) plz !
Deen love your music and it’s your passion I truly enjoyed you with Journey 👍 Journey is my favorite band of all time get back with Journey and stay clean and healthy love ya brother ❤
too sad story... hope Deen will come back in Journey soon and most importantly he should again follow Christ and never come back to alcohol and drugs. Like his quality of voice.
Didn't know much about Deen, watched all this RUclips stuff on him. Wow what a talent and a star, but hearing him take responsibility for all his mistakes was incredible. He's got what I wish I had more of, humility & kindness.
Just fo7nd out about this Man’s awesome talent from being with Journey. And after see this great bit of info and the music, I admire him more. I wish him the very best in all his endeavours.
Dean, im glad you cleaned up man you have the gift of music in your soul man! You got a great singing and drumming style love it man now go record some stuff man, cant wait to hear! Godbless take care.
I just wanna say im proud of you💯 i know all to well the story, i been there and aint left, I look up to you and your an amazing drummer and have a voice that is superb, I hope you have a great day causr you always make mine better💯🙌🍀
We all stumble and fall at some point in our lives. Glad to see Deen back with Journey and owning his mistakes. His voice is second only to Steve Perry's. Welcome back!
Dean, just get back to our lord and you will be fine. Whoops, didn't watch the full video, I see that you already have. God Bless you, its great to see your doing fine. If only people could realize what having faith in our lord can do for them, their troubles would be few to none, our lord gives strength and that is why he is the ALMIGHTY.
mad respect for.the man ,we all fall down its how you choose to stand back up.and face your demons best wishes for him and the long road to recovery We still love ya man regardless ..you are awsome dude and one of the best drummers ive known and one hell of a voice too
Good to see your story continue my friend! Thanks for helping me save my own life years and 21 days ago. I would have never made it thru without you being there. i think of you often when i am drumbing with my hands on my chest. Look me up when you are back in town. Gods speed!!
@@humanoverlord6708 Just can't do marathon songs like Arnel. 3 straight nights all by himself like Arnel will blow his vocal chords. That is why he sticks to exceptional drumming.
![Journey [Deen Castronovo] - Keep On Running / Still They Ride - Live 2009](/img/1.gif)
Deen did something many celebrities and musicians don't do...he took 100% responsibility for what he did. Tons of respect for this man!
And he’s been given a second chance now that he’s back in Journey.
Ha! What, he wants a merit badge for apologizing for rape and going on a psychotic, assault filled drug rage tripout?! He apologized because he wants his gig back. He’s a highly talented guy who didn’t need to get that deep down the road into that shit. He’s highly lucky he got back his gig. He’ll probably screw up again. Needs serious treatment.
He did exactly that. Accountability. Something so many have no balls for.
@@steveparker5406 Judgmental dick. People do change.
That's the best high you can have is high on life. may God be with you and everyone through troubled times in life amen
I like Deen he's screwed up admits it and doesn't blame others a humble guy who deserves a second chance what an incredible talent!
Amazing!!
Punk
I met Deen years ago at a drum clinic. He’s a genuinely nice guy. I hope he continues to triumph over his addictions. Music is great.
jemsar2 amazing talent. 😎👍🏻
jemsar2 he was on a flight once with non existent closet space. He had a drum with him and needed it stored. I figured it out, rearranged a few things etc before I recognized who he was. I even asked- are you in a band or something? LOL When he said his name I about passed out. He was so appreciative and really kind to the crew. Hope he is able to get his life on track.
Still one of the worlds greatest drummers.
At this time, he's clean and back with Journey. Kudos to Deen for owning up to his problem and not offering lame excuses for it as so many do!
Saw them Thursday night and Deen absolutely blew us away!
Deen has it all, the looks the voice the incredible talent on drums, he can write awesome songs .
An amazingly talented humble guy.
I played drums in a band that opened up for Bad English when they had the hit "When I see You Smile" The first night on tour, I sat behind Dean and watched him.

Well the story is pretty typical rock and roll (still sad) but you don't find great drummers with that vocal range. That's a real gift.
This was such a great RUclips! A big THANK YOU to whoever put this together and the subsequent interview with Deen.
You go Deen, we Love YOU, none of us is perfect, he is a winner!!!! Much respect Deen
I love Dean he is a man who rises above them all and im glad journey has hired him back , like Steve Perry he has talent and voice that cant be denied and I will always be behind him, BRAVO DEAN ...LOVE YOU

I remember hearing Deen sing for the first time, I was completely blown away
I'm not condoning any violence but WOW Dean... Such a great talent Mother, Father such great drumming & vocals. Stay strong
He is the best & the biggest mentor in my life he has had some bad times but is the best guy in the world !!! I love him !!!! He is an awesome person !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have the up most admiration, respect and love him. He is one of the BEST drummers and singers.
Deen is an incredible musician and totally underrated. Great to see him turning his life around. Love his music. Rock on Deen 🤘🏽
You have a big spiritual heart Deen, just keep listening to it. God bless.
I hope that Deen can continue to contribute to music, he is a wonderfully talented musician and he needs to continue to tell his story the good and bad. You never know who is going to be lifted up by it when nothing else will get through. Music is a POWERFUL language, there’s a reason god created it!
Wow! I love the lyrics of his songs. I love Deen! Thanks God he fully recovered from his addiction 🥰
I met Dean years ago when members of Journey, Stix and REO speedwagon came to watch my band at a local bar in Denver. Dean was super cool and they played a couple songs on our equipment. Dean was very complimentary, no ego at all and autographed my snare drum head. Prayers for Dean as he stays clean and moves on with his life.
As a long time addict of 56 years with almost 14 year's clean, I so appreciate his honesty.
What an incredible talent, when I watch him sing and play I can feel the emotion pouring out of him. Music should be his drug of choice😀👍
Give me the chills.
Deen,,,been a fan of yours for MANY many years. You have an AMAZING voice and by far one of the best in the rock world right now as always. Don't stray from the track that you are on. You have awesome people around you and a fan base that wants to see you succeed. Rock on Brother.

He just rejoined the Journey since last year!

We're all human and make mistakes. Live up to them, own it and keep going forward...

Check your morals. No inspiration should come from that in a normal society.

What a power house of talent peace Deen .
He's an outstanding singer. I didn't know how good his voice was. What range.
Praise God he’s alive and doing well. So glad to hear this. Love these songs and I can’t wait to buy this CD. His voice is soooo sooo good.
DEEN can sing AND play drums! VERY talented musician! Let him sing lead more often!!
One of my favorite musicians and people. Stay strong Deen, your stronger and way better than your set back :)

Could not agree more. Saw them on the 1st tour with Arnel....Deen ROCKED the kit.

Happy to hear Deen is back! Hope it's for good
fantastic! look at you go!!!!! we thank you and bless you for that!
too sad story... hope Deen will come back in Journey soon and most importantly he should again follow Christ and never come back to alcohol and drugs. Like his quality of voice.
Didn't know much about Deen, watched all this RUclips stuff on him. Wow what a talent and a star, but hearing him take responsibility for all his mistakes was incredible. He's got what I wish I had more of, humility & kindness.
Just fo7nd out about this Man’s awesome talent from being with Journey. And after see this great bit of info and the music, I admire him more. I wish him the very best in all his endeavours.
Wish Deen the best of everything. He is one of the best singers out there bar none, great God-given talent! Love you Deen! You are okay!
Put this all behind you dean. Would love to hear more Castronovo in the future......
Been a fan of Deen’s since his Tony McAlpine days. People make mistakes.
Dean, im glad you cleaned up man you have the gift of music in your soul man! You got a great singing and drumming style love it man now go record some stuff man, cant wait to hear! Godbless take care.
So incredibly talented. May he find his way and fully recover.
He was the nicest really cool guy among the bunch. I met him and you can tell he is humble and cool. And the guy can sing so great
What a talent! What a voice!

Wow, what a great comeback story of redemption! I have always said, it's nor how you start that matters, it's how you finish, so FINISH STRONG👊
We all stumble and fall at some point in our lives. Glad to see Deen back with Journey and owning his mistakes. His voice is second only to Steve Perry's. Welcome back!
i love Arnels voice when he attempt to hit high notes very clear and powerful..love also Deen he is amazing also singing while drumming
Proud of you Deen! Keep up the great work! You are a great drummer and singer! Your voice is incredible! Prayers to you from NC.💜🙏💜
We all fall. Some get back up. Others don’t. Deen fell and got back up. Admitted his wrongs. Took responsibility. Sought help. Good on ya Deen! 👍😊
DeenC got presence in any band he joins into .He’s amazing !!!!
There can't be a bad person behind so much talent. God bless you, Deen.
Yes there can.
Deen, a good man and great drummer with powerful vocals let alone singing while playing and seating down. It ain't easy. heads up Deen and God Bless.
Dean, just get back to our lord and you will be fine. Whoops, didn't watch the full video, I see that you already have. God Bless you, its great to see your doing fine. If only people could realize what having faith in our lord can do for them, their troubles would be few to none, our lord gives strength and that is why he is the ALMIGHTY.
mad respect for.the man ,we all fall down its how you choose to stand back up.and face your demons best wishes for him and the long road to recovery We still love ya man regardless ..you are awsome dude and one of the best drummers ive known and one hell of a voice too
Good to see your story continue my friend! Thanks for helping me save my own life years and 21 days ago. I would have never made it thru without you being there. i think of you often when i am drumbing with my hands on my chest. Look me up when you are back in town. Gods speed!!
He’s such a nice dude ..good luck
Amazing testimony!
deen is the real deal...he compliments arnels voice with his drumming
Deen is a better singer that Arnel.. See the Journey Though time shows on RUclips
How did he fuck that up!!!!
@@victorlewis4915 Back on drugs. He's clean now.
@@humanoverlord6708 Just can't do marathon songs like Arnel. 3 straight nights all by himself like Arnel will blow his vocal chords. That is why he sticks to exceptional drumming.
