He ended to be the voice at late 80's because he didn't be able to sing that way without harming his voice. Robert Fleischman can sing very high at his 70's for example.
Amen to that it increased the bands longevity at least another 30 years imagine if every band got a renewal of popularity and a start over Arnell still can't hit all the notes Perry could the same way but he is the closest thing and he's damn good I'd kill to sing like that but Steve Perry made singing look like brushing his hand through his hair. It's sad that he's not what he was but you could hear his voice falling apart when he did Sherrie in the beginning of the second verse that's when I noticed . I'm just glad their songs will still be loved and played well into the future that's immortality when the good you do carries on and probably will til we're no more but immortality is just a paragraph away it seems for some yet all one need these days is a fantasy which is no easy task everyone thinks these influencers got it easy well relatively yeah but look how long they worked to get where they are some people want it overnight. some got it but won't go the distance but in this time it's relatively easy to be immortalized but to truly be remembered forever you must do something so memorable you will never fade into obscurity I think just the one song don't stop believing will be around for centuries if not millennia to come. That's beautiful to me to imagine people falling in love to this music that far into the future
lol nobody on this planet is irreplaceable. There's someone out there even greater than perry even though I acknowledge he is the winner over pineda but not by much.
@@DongWang-m4n Journey hasn't had a new hit song since Steve Perry left the band that is a fact. Writing hit songs one after another is a 1 in a million talent.
@@John-fv8sc He sings journey's songs since that's what the lead singer is supposed to do, so he's mimicing perry? lol I'm not a journey fan or perry's or pineda's but your comment is stupid.

@@ManMan-sj7py Absolutely right, but in his youth he was better than Arnel was at his start. Also, I don’t think Steve is as good a writer as he was back then.
Steve Perry all the way! I get goosebumps every time I hear his voice. And his out of this world vocals (especially at the end of Mother, Father) are unmatched. Arnel is a great singer and it's cool that he's been able to fill in. But Journey without Steve Perry just isn't the same to me.

There’s no battle. It’s Steve Perry. Then, thankfully they found Arnel after Perry stepped away. He’s doing a great job trying to fill impossibly huge shoes.
Parnell has surpassed Steve with hardly any challenges in the way.. Parnell was born to nail this registry.. Not so impossible.. I have 2 great friends who are singers in bands that give Journey songs heavy rotation.. they've been gigging since early 90s and no vocal problems..
There is no Battle. Steve Perry is the greatest of All. Past, Present and Furture. No body will ever do a Steve Perry/Journey song better than Steve himself. Steve s soulfulness his magical healing . His haunting voice when he sing a song is his alone. Nobody has done all that when they sing songs like Steve Perry does. Steve is a soul stealer. He can steal your soul when he sings 😍😍✨✨🌟🌟🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️. All in A good way l don't want this taken in the wrong way 😉😉.
I never knew of Journey band until I went to a restaurant and asked what was the title of the song, on the radio. It turned it was Turn Down the World Tonight. They didn't know the title, I was told it is sang by Arnel Pineda. I looked for the name and ... dear god, now I listened to the sound each night. The history of the band is just as amazing as the front vocalist.
Would you pay to see Arnel ? Crank up a good stereo sound system , Arnel mimics the sound of Steves voice . In other words plenty of high end , no mid range . Texture isn't even close
I am a Filipino and I am not discrediting Arnel. Arnel is very nice but he is second to Steve only. The original will always be the best and the rest are just second best.

They can all hit all the notes they want......Steve Perry wrote those notes. They are all coloring in a book that Steve Perry drew the lines in. It’s not about the high notes, it’s the creativity, the imagination, the musicianship and the soul that wrote those vocal parts in the first place.

Journey, unfortunately, will be history if Neal doesn't get a reality check....now! Perry had a payout deal with the band, as he co-wrote those songs with Schon and Cain, except for two in this battle.
These comments are not necessary. No one is in competition with Perry. Remember your Perry lost his voice a long time ago. The band needed someone to take the place of frontman. Don't take it against the 2nd 3rd or 4th Journey frontman. Arnel Pineda is the most successful Journey frontman after Perry. Arnel has his share of charismatic appeal that helps why the Journey band is still rocking up to now. And he is very humble and yet very talented.
Of course, Steve has no equal. Even a great copy of a masterpiece is still just a copy. However, Arnel deserves some real respect. He revived the old Journey sound and is bringing it to a new generation. It's great the way Arnel honors Mr. Perry and carries so much respect for his long-time hero. Arnel' story is touching as well. He went from homelessness to now having his own foundation that... you guessed it... he feeds homeless kids in his home country. As far as talent goes, Arnel can sound like anybody, it's amazing! You should hear his cover of Alone by the band Heart, or Survivor, Brian Adams, Guns and Roses, even Chicago. I don't think any of those greats in their day could sound like one another at will. That's skill and range. Arnel's respect for the original sound and keeping the soul of the music of that generation should make Steve and all the other bands he has covered very proud.
Yeah...if you like clones. If not for his voice sounding like SP, he'd be back in the Philippines. They call me all the time wondering how they can take my money.
here in japan particularly asia, in our view, arnel saves the journey.. because of him journey recognize by this generations.. but steve perry earning the price.. i dont know what is going on to america.. no recognition for the talented man from the philippines.. the impact of filipinos are amazing.. but american people just give credit to their own...
Arnel Pineda is not Steve Perry just happy that through him the songs is being sung again and new generation gets to know about it.... I love the Journey songs! 😊 thank you Arnel Pineda and to Steve Perry and the Band.... 🙂
I see no contest. No one beats Steve Perry in my opinion. I have seen dozens and dozens of top rock concerts. I’ve never seen anyone with his pitch and range. Absolutely nails it perfect.
@@Ecoboosttookadump lol a copy? So, he is a robot and can maintain another person's voice for 15 years. Ummm, ok pal. Why are you here???? Apparently your ears aren't working and your opinion is just that , one which thousands and thousands of people disagree. 😀 have a nice day.
Patricia ordonez no, Arnel was selected because he mimics Steve Perry’s voice. He sounds different nowadays because he sings all Journey songs in a lower key since 2012.
Packo_ Hubu Arnel is a great cover singer in the same league as Kelly Hansen of Foreigner. Steve Perry is a rock god in the same league as Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.
I'm a Huge Steve Perry fan but come on folks give Arnel what he deserves. He's fantastic brings Steve back But Adds Himself in the mix. I love them both. Both original. Both unbelievable talents that deserve thier own accolades 👏 🙌 👌
Comparing Steve and Arnel is insane thoughts. Steve will always be the one. I'm a Philippine/American and Arnel has a gift. I thank Arnel for filling in and keeping the band alive..
When John BONHAM died did the remaining members of Led Zeppelin continue with another drummer?? NO. When “The Free Bird” went killing RVZ did Lynyrd Skynyrd carry on. At first no. Gary and Alan formed another band Rossington-Collins. It wasn’t until yrs later Skynyrd came back with Johnny and it’s EXCUSED!! But ya just can’t grow weeds and call them roses.
@@JohnDoe-pv4ng singer yourself you say, A singer knows how to sing, Arnel's voice is the closest to steve, i'm not saying arnel's voice is impersonation of steve. But the closest one, So glad journey chooses arnel to be the lead singer, why? Arnel is the closest voice to steve perry to sing the old songs, if journey decides to put a different singer, guess the future of journey.
@@JohnDoe-pv4ng then blame it to neal schon the founder of journey, you forgot neal schon is the one who found arnel i guess you didn't see arnel pineda singing in the philippines,
No comparison! BIG YES to the one who commented here saying “Steve Perry created the Journey but Arnel Pineda saves the JOURNEY”. Steve Perry has his own reason why he left Journey, he is definitely a STAR in his own right, while Arnel Pineda continues the JOUrNeY. Both are best on their own time. REsPECT! Steves Journey has come to an end... Arnels Journey is now making a history. 🇵🇭
I like the new guy but it's Steve. My Mom died 2 years ago she loved Steve and Journey. I took her to a concert in the 80s. She did not know me in her last days because of dementia but I played Journey. She calmed down and said that guy really sings good. It was amazing she remembered Steve Perry in her mind but not me. I will always be grateful to him for that.
I'm glad Steve could bring a memory back, even tho it woulda been great if it was of you, but thanks steve for that little memory for her. RIP MOM!! My heart goes out to you, and your mom knew you were there😉
Steve is not only the best voice that Journey had or will have (for a reason Arnel imitates him), but he is also one of the best voices in the history of music, along with Freddy, Michael, Whitney... for something he is known as "The voice"👌🏻
@@BKWhite07why is that harsh? It’s the truth by his own admission. It’s why he has the job. He’s not doing his own music. He’s imitating Steve, who helped write most of these songs.
@@LoriVFenske & I get that. but Arnel isn't some imitation. in his prime, he was the real deal. not some fake or a voice pawned off for less. it's not him replicating Steve.. it's the demand of the song, the notes. don't take it out of context
@@BKWhite07 I’m not taking it out of context. He imitates Perry. A singer can put their own voice on a song. Good covers always sound like themselves. He sounds just like Steve Perry. He’s a mimic in this band. He says do himself. When he come out with an album of his own material in his own style then it may be different. But he hasn’t. Nothing wrong with that but he’s not in the same league with Steve. He’s just the best of the tribute singers,
Steve Perry created the bar. Arnel got to experience it, but Deen Castroanova, who is not in any of the vids here that I saw, is flawless in his Perry vocals. Watching him play drums and sing is a thing of beauty, and his vocals are effortless.
In my opinion there is only ONE lead singer of Journey and that's Steve. I was fortunate enough to be a teenager and saw so many of their amazing concerts live. "Day on the Green" is just one of those memories. For those who lived the Journey experience back then, it's really hard to give that loyalty up. Journey will always be one of my favorite bands of all time. So sad that the band hurt Steve so deeply that he will never come back. Makes my heart ache to never see this band play together again. But thank you for the incredible memories.
You did one hell of a fine job editing these clips, and for that, I am ever grateful. However, for those of us who lived the '80's, there is only one, and will forever be a single, true Journey 'Frontman'; the iconic and irreplaceable Steve Perry. True rock and roll legends never die, they just get copied by lesser humans! Thanks again for posting!
It's not Journey without Steve Perry pure and simple no one else deserves that title. There are one or two that can mimic Steve like a part would, but there is only one Steve Perry his clear diction his range and his tone can not be duplicated. Even thoe the band are 4:09 top notch legendary musicians they would not have become the super group if not for Steve Perry
I saw Steve & Journey perform live way back when and couldn't believe it. Steve's voice live was ... well ... Unbelivable! The only one who has ever lived up to that sound is Arnal. You close your eyes and you swear it is Steve singing again. Arnal is so talented!
No comparison to Perry voice, but Arnel Pineda is the closes voice to Steve Perry.. also Heard him sing Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams and more .. he all nailed it! Superb Voice!
Can you even sing You are just jealous and cannot accept that being a filipino who can sing like Steve Perry and you don't have the voice that ARnel have.
@@benadam7753 Steve Augeri was ok. I very much liked the new songs they wrote with him as the lead singer. As for Jeff Scott Soto, I've never understood why they decided to go with him as the lead singer. I mean, I like his songs and his singing, but he's just not the right sound for Journey. I liked him in Soul Sirkus and in Talisman. As for Arnel, well, he does a fine job resembling Steve Perry's sound but that's it. I've never liked the new songs with him and I feel that today, they're mostly a very good souding tribute band paying tribute to the Perry-era Journey.
@@benadam7753 Sounds like it. They could have offered up the best sounding ones they could find... unless, of course, those were the best ones. I think I've heard better from Augeri; don't think I've heard much from Soto. 'Remember Me' with Steve Augeri was a pretty good tune-- not as memorable as other Journey tunes, but not a bad one to boot! The quality of the tunes of Journey with Steve Augeri are about on par as Asia with John Payne, although Asia with John Payne had better material than Journey+Augeri, though it hasn't been widely circulated or given a greater place in media to be remembered. Asia's Aura album is a gem thanks to John's vocals!!
Augeri was somewhat closer to Perry than Scott. In fact Scott was the worst of them all. But at the end of the day, the band stuck to Pineda not for nothing. The guy's awesomely talented.
Guys enough of comparing Steve and Arnel.Steve already thanked Arnel for continuing Journey's journey.Arnel had been their vocalist for more than a decade now.RESPECT ,APPRECIATE and MOVE ON
This does not disrespect, Just shows who the real voice of journey is!! And Can NEVER be replaced, there is only 1 STEVE PERRY!! No offense try as they may they can't find another STEVE and if they didn't think STEVE was the voice of journey then why try so hard to find a replica, get another singer n move on, they didn't until they found someone they thought sounded similar. Journey had 2 albums and went nowhere until STEVE came along. JS & IMO
@@aqohito5292 if its todays era why play all journey(steve S) old songs....why sing all journeys music in the beginning,.make new songs stop tryin to replicate n move on. JS
@@xxxxxxRINxxxxxx ..maybe because journey is journey.they're a band,not jst steve perry's.how he aged now and so is his singing voice has changed..we want to remember him the way he was.that's why
I had the distinct pleasure of seeing journey with Steve Perry twice live, once with Steve Augeri , who wasn't bad, i've never seen journey with Arnel Pineda who also is very talented, but Steve Perry is by far the best. You can never badmouth Arnel, he was thrust into an unwinnable situation and his story makes it even better
the book i read stated the band wanted to move on and not wait for steve perry to take a long needed break so they went on the hunt for a new lead singer steve did not abandon them they abandoned him
Steve Perry hands down!!!!!!! I went nuts over him in 1978 when he opened his mouth in Birmingham, Alabama it's been that way and will always be that way for me. I love him and his magical voice.
I am a Filipino but honestly i love so much the music of journey most especially steve Ferry.. He is the original but honestly now i love more the quality, the range and the powerful voice of Arnel Penida.. I’ m so proud of you.. God bless you trenendously
@@ScottySmac Saying that steve perry IS journey means you completely disregard the other band mates in journey. Journey could have completely different people playing in the band, and you'd still call it the real journey as long as steve is in it
@@mf24yo931 Think what you want but Journey never would have been successful if Steve was not in it to begin with. No Journey, no Arnel..... get it? I love Arnel.
Steve I think your absolutely amazing. Arnel is like a camilion he can sing whatever he wants and sounds amazing! both your voices are amazingly beautiful!!
Steve is undoubtedly number one. And Arnel to my mind is clearly second. The other two guys, while I admire their effort and courage in trying to pull this off, aren't even in the ball game.
It just wasn't his voice he brought everything to make that band, heart, personality ,charisma, most of all that voice!!! We were all blessed to hear him!!
Arnel Pineda is really good as the front man of Journey but, nobody will every be as good as Steve Perry. I can't listen to Journey with any other lead singer than Steve Perry. He wrote and co wrote nearly all the Journey songs so he sings them from his heart, it's not just singing another song for him, they came from his heart and experiences. Nothing can beat that. Steve Perry is the one an only for me.
If you don't want to hear and appreciate other singer who become a lead singer in this period then better not to continue this band anymore... bring back your original lead singer if that make you only satisfied!!! Be fair..
This is terrific!!! Thanks for the post to compare them!! Love original Steve Perry, but Arnel Pineda really rox it!!! I'm just glad they are continuing the Journey!!!
Of, all the singers Journey has had, Steve Perry gifted voice, I've never heard anyone else that could beat Steve's voice. In my opinion his voice is what Journey was. 🥰
No one compares to "the voice", but all the others are worthy. These guys give their best and are amazing in their own right. Arnel is the closest to Perry and Soto is totally a talent largely unrecognized.
Steve's voice is just so clear and effortless. He'll always be the voice!
He ended to be the voice at late 80's because he didn't be able to sing that way without harming his voice. Robert Fleischman can sing very high at his 70's for example.
Steve will always be remembered as the voice to replicate. Arnel is an unbelievable replacement. I am so happy that Arnel got the lucky break.
What are you talking about? Arnel sucks!

That's beautiful to me to imagine people falling in love to this music that far into the future

Packo_ Hubu Arnel is a great cover singer in the same league as Kelly Hansen of Foreigner. Steve Perry is a rock god in the same league as Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.
All are so pleasant to listen to. Period. I can't imagine Journey without Arnel Pineda in this generation, his voice has Father Time's longevity.
I'm a Huge Steve Perry fan but come on folks give Arnel what he deserves. He's fantastic brings Steve back But Adds Himself in the mix. I love them both. Both original. Both unbelievable talents that deserve thier own accolades 👏 🙌 👌
Spot on!
Arnel basically saved the band in terms of reviving tour sales and interest
STEVE created journey
ARNEL save's journey
PERRY was not their first singer
Steve did not " create " Journey... and Journey "saved " Arne.l
Greg Rolie. Heard of him?
dandy alcantara Arnel replaced Jeff Scott Soto, he didn’t save Journey.
Agree!
Steve es incomparable, pero Arnel ha hecho un trabajo fantástico y sin duda levantó a la banda 👍🏻👍🏻
Comparing Steve and Arnel is insane thoughts. Steve will always be the one. I'm a Philippine/American and Arnel has a gift. I thank Arnel for filling in and keeping the band alive..
@@melroggo7617 Agree
Steve Perry wins, hands-down, no question!!!! The others want to be Steve Perry, but they can't match or surpass the GREAT ONE!!!!!!!!!
Steve has a remarkable voiced.. Thank goodness for Arnel for continuing the Legacy of Journey.
Steve Perry has absolutely the best voice I have ever heard.long live the king.
and he left the band.
@@malakitity5799 he?) That’s not correct answer)
Because his voice got ruined already. Just like Arnel’s or anyone else. Just like anything, cars, shoes, they get worn out as being used through time.
When John BONHAM died did the remaining members of Led Zeppelin continue with another drummer?? NO. When “The Free Bird” went killing RVZ did Lynyrd Skynyrd carry on. At first no. Gary and Alan formed another band Rossington-Collins. It wasn’t until yrs later Skynyrd came back with Johnny and it’s EXCUSED!! But ya just can’t grow weeds and call them roses.
They have different kind voice ..arnel is all out and powerful
Steve and Arnel both give me goosebumps, damn, they're really good.
But, Arnel is just copping Steve. Steve Perry and as a singer myself. Steve Perry was orginal and is still today one of the best singers in the world.
@@JohnDoe-pv4ng singer yourself you say, A singer knows how to sing, Arnel's voice is the closest to steve, i'm not saying arnel's voice is impersonation of steve. But the closest one, So glad journey chooses arnel to be the lead singer, why? Arnel is the closest voice to steve perry to sing the old songs, if journey decides to put a different singer, guess the future of journey.
Only Steve tbh, he hits somewhere in the gut that only few singers can hit…
Steve Perry is ultimate voice. And the only voice of Journey.
@@JohnDoe-pv4ng then blame it to neal schon the founder of journey, you forgot neal schon is the one who found arnel i guess you didn't see arnel pineda singing in the philippines,
There is no contest! Steve Perry is the best and always will be.
You can never impersonate another's SOUL!
Your voice Steve Perry is the best out of them all !! 💗🙏🏼
ang tanga nman nito
hands down Steve Perry is the bomb, can't be touched!!!!
I love you Arnel Pineda. Just gogogo and sing for Journey hanggang kaya mo! Just take care of yourself and your voice. God loves you!
No comparison! BIG YES to the one who commented here saying “Steve Perry created the Journey but Arnel Pineda saves the JOURNEY”. Steve Perry has his own reason why he left Journey, he is definitely a STAR in his own right, while Arnel Pineda continues the JOUrNeY. Both are best on their own time. REsPECT! Steves Journey has come to an end... Arnels Journey is now making a history. 🇵🇭
Well said ma'am.. from the Philippines as well Arnel Pineda saves Journey..
Well said..thank you
...... Steve Perry, made Journey famous, around the world....….....!!!!
POOR MARIA,,,,TELL ME MORE, PLEASE!
.
I like the new guy but it's Steve. My Mom died 2 years ago she loved Steve and Journey. I took her to a concert in the 80s. She did not know me in her last days because of dementia but I played Journey. She calmed down and said that guy really sings good. It was amazing she remembered Steve Perry in her mind but not me. I will always be grateful to him for that.
Sweety th as ta sad , God bless you RIP MOM.
I feel so sorry for you
I'm glad Steve could bring a memory back, even tho it woulda been great if it was of you, but thanks steve for that little memory for her. RIP MOM!! My heart goes out to you, and your mom knew you were there😉
God thats so sad. Please play steve and remember your Mom having the time of her life to this music! God bless you
The new guy is Arnel Pineda
Steve is not only the best voice that Journey had or will have (for a reason Arnel imitates him), but he is also one of the best voices in the history of music, along with Freddy, Michael, Whitney... for something he is known as "The voice"👌🏻
“imitate” is a harsh word to use when speaking on Arnel.. completely unnecessary but sure whatever
@@BKWhite07why is that harsh? It’s the truth by his own admission. It’s why he has the job. He’s not doing his own music. He’s imitating Steve, who helped write most of these songs.
@@LoriVFenske & I get that. but Arnel isn't some imitation. in his prime, he was the real deal. not some fake or a voice pawned off for less. it's not him replicating Steve.. it's the demand of the song, the notes. don't take it out of context
@@BKWhite07 I’m not taking it out of context. He imitates Perry. A singer can put their own voice on a song. Good covers always sound like themselves. He sounds just like Steve Perry. He’s a mimic in this band. He says do himself. When he come out with an album of his own material in his own style then it may be different. But he hasn’t. Nothing wrong with that but he’s not in the same league with Steve. He’s just the best of the tribute singers,
@@LoriVFenske you're right tho. it's cool.
Steve is the GOAT... but Arnel is very impressive on how effortlessly he hits those high notes. Kudos to all.
Steve Perry created the bar. Arnel got to experience it, but Deen Castroanova, who is not in any of the vids here that I saw, is flawless in his Perry vocals. Watching him play drums and sing is a thing of beauty, and his vocals are effortless.
In my opinion there is only ONE lead singer of Journey and that's Steve. I was fortunate enough to be a teenager and saw so many of their amazing concerts live. "Day on the Green" is just one of those memories. For those who lived the Journey experience back then, it's really hard to give that loyalty up. Journey will always be one of my favorite bands of all time. So sad that the band hurt Steve so deeply that he will never come back. Makes my heart ache to never see this band play together again. But thank you for the incredible memories.
You did one hell of a fine job editing these clips, and for that, I am ever grateful. However, for those of us who lived the '80's, there is only one, and will forever be a single, true Journey 'Frontman'; the iconic and irreplaceable Steve Perry. True rock and roll legends never die, they just get copied by lesser humans! Thanks again for posting!
It's not Journey without Steve Perry pure and simple no one else deserves that title. There are one or two that can mimic Steve like a part would, but there is only one Steve Perry his clear diction his range and his tone can not be duplicated. Even thoe the band are 4:09 top notch legendary musicians they would not have become the super group if not for Steve Perry
0:00
Ariel
Steve Perry is the winner hands down.
I saw Steve & Journey perform live way back when and couldn't believe it. Steve's voice live was ... well ... Unbelivable! The only one who has ever lived up to that sound is Arnal. You close your eyes and you swear it is Steve singing again. Arnal is so talented!
cosmic voyager I closed my eyes and Arnel doesn’t sound like Steve. You just wish it was and need to clean your ears.
No comparison to Perry voice, but Arnel Pineda is the closes voice to Steve Perry.. also Heard him sing Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams and more .. he all nailed it! Superb Voice!
Louie Morinda Jr. it shows how unoriginal this Chinese guy fronting Journey really is. he copies everyone else
Rusty Blades Chinese? lmao he’s Filipino
Rusty Blades haha... lol... you don't even know he's nationality, am laughing as hell... You just hate chinese people i guess... Lmao
Can you even sing You are just jealous and cannot accept that being a filipino who can sing like Steve Perry and you don't have the voice that ARnel have.
Rusty Blades he's a filipino my friend..
Steve is in a battle with no one. He set the bar, others can fight it out if they want. No contest for first place.
Hands down. Steve Perry. Always and forever. ❤️
The 2nd and 3rd is thumbs down..
Steve and Arnel is THUMBS UP!
LMAO! What they do? Find the worst possible sound recordings for Steve Augeri and Jeff Scott Soto???
@@benadam7753 Steve Augeri was ok. I very much liked the new songs they wrote with him as the lead singer. As for Jeff Scott Soto, I've never understood why they decided to go with him as the lead singer. I mean, I like his songs and his singing, but he's just not the right sound for Journey. I liked him in Soul Sirkus and in Talisman. As for Arnel, well, he does a fine job resembling Steve Perry's sound but that's it. I've never liked the new songs with him and I feel that today, they're mostly a very good souding tribute band paying tribute to the Perry-era Journey.
Pineda thumbs down to if you compare him with perry
@@benadam7753 Sounds like it. They could have offered up the best sounding ones they could find... unless, of course, those were the best ones. I think I've heard better from Augeri; don't think I've heard much from Soto.
'Remember Me' with Steve Augeri was a pretty good tune-- not as memorable as other Journey tunes, but not a bad one to boot! The quality of the tunes of Journey with Steve Augeri are about on par as Asia with John Payne, although Asia with John Payne had better material than Journey+Augeri, though it hasn't been widely circulated or given a greater place in media to be remembered. Asia's Aura album is a gem thanks to John's vocals!!
Augeri was somewhat closer to Perry than Scott. In fact Scott was the worst of them all. But at the end of the day, the band stuck to Pineda not for nothing. The guy's awesomely talented.
Nobody can or ever will match up to Steve Perry. There is no journey without Steve Perry
if you think like that you're a fake journey fan lol
But the Journey continues minus Steve for yearssss now..with Arnel!..how about that hey.👍
Ahh, but does Arnal have any songs of his own?😊
There is no battle. STEVE PERRY ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Guys enough of comparing Steve and Arnel.Steve already thanked Arnel for continuing Journey's journey.Arnel had been their vocalist for more than a decade now.RESPECT ,APPRECIATE and MOVE ON
This does not disrespect, Just shows who the real voice of journey is!! And Can NEVER be replaced, there is only 1 STEVE PERRY!! No offense try as they may they can't find another STEVE and if they didn't think STEVE was the voice of journey then why try so hard to find a replica, get another singer n move on, they didn't until they found someone they thought sounded similar. Journey had 2 albums and went nowhere until STEVE came along. JS & IMO
@@xxxxxxRINxxxxxx Respect as to today"s era..journey is lucky to have Arnel for over a decade now..Steve was Steve Perry then..legend..
@@aqohito5292 if its todays era why play all journey(steve
S) old songs....why sing all journeys music in the beginning,.make new songs stop tryin to replicate n move on. JS
@@xxxxxxRINxxxxxx ..maybe because journey is journey.they're a band,not jst steve perry's.how he aged now and so is his singing voice has changed..we want to remember him the way he was.that's why
@@xxxxxxRINxxxxxx respect to arnel he has a foundation that feeds homeless kids. He admires steve and the band. That's his dream.
Steve is number 1
Arnel is number 2
Forget the other two
Lol
Hmmmm sorry no you can't forget Steve augeri
@@mattyboywalker9094 augeri couldn't sing for his life
@@mf24yo931 bollocks the albums he did with the band are superb and he was great live he maybe can't do it NOW bit he certainly could then
augeri was amazing until he got sick too. No reason to disregard.
Steve and Arnel are both Amazing !!!
there is no discussion, STEVE PERRY above all the rest!
No
One
Can
Top
Steve Perry!
You can not replace that vocal, look or style.
He is the absolute king!!!
There's no battle
Steve created journey
Arniel save's journey
I had the distinct pleasure of seeing journey with Steve Perry twice live, once with Steve Augeri , who wasn't bad, i've never seen journey with Arnel Pineda who also is very talented, but Steve Perry is by far the best. You can never badmouth Arnel, he was thrust into an unwinnable situation and his story makes it even better
No one can ever replace Steve Perry. Flat out.
PERRY IS PERRY HIS STYLE AND HIS VOICE IS UNIQUE, NEVER OF THE NEVER WILL HAVE A COMPARISON, STEVE PERRY THERE IS ONLY ONE 😘
Exactly!!!!! There is only one Steve Perry!!!!!!
I think arnels trying to add more rock power to his voice to give more life and energy to the whole band.
👌
It's true
*When Steve was about to end the Journey Arnel came and saved it*
You got your history of this band all jacked up. Arnel did not come in when Steve was relieved.
@Maria Eugenia Fernandez
Im guessing u never listened to Journey
the book i read stated the band wanted to move on and not wait for steve perry to take a long needed break so they went on the hunt for a new lead singer steve did not abandon them they abandoned him
Steve Perry is & always will be top man! Steve Steve augeri is a very close second!
Steve, all the way. Thks the other for continue legeng of this group, specially Arnel.
Steve Perry hands down!!!!!!! I went nuts over him in 1978 when he opened his mouth in Birmingham, Alabama it's been that way and will always be that way for me. I love him and his magical voice.
This is very clever; thank you! Steve and Arnel are the clear winners
Steve Perry is the standard voice of Journey. Even the vocalists after him is still mimicking his voice.
Steve Perry, there's no Journey without him.
Battle?! No contest. Perry is ROCKS purest voice.
battle of replacement..not vocals...
Simple No SP no Journey-❤ one of the best rock vocalists in the USA ever ❤
Steve has the true Gift, The others just copy. You can copy the original BUT , only ONE original. Without his gifts you have nothing . Thank you Steve
No comparison!! Steve Perry all the way!!
Steve Perry will always be the voice, but Arnel's path is the Journey.
Best comment right here.
Absolutely right
the most accurate comment
I am a Filipino but honestly i love so much the music of journey most especially steve Ferry.. He is the original but honestly now i love more the quality, the range and the powerful voice of Arnel Penida.. I’ m so proud of you.. God bless you trenendously
Steve Ferry 🤣
@@jeffhull8614 Steve Super Ferry
No contest! The one who made it famous in the first place❤
And God said "Let there be vocal perfection." and there was Steve Perry!
Yes!!!!!! If I could bottle up his voice I'd force my husband to drink it!!!!!
Damn, that is good.
Whaaat??? His vocal is not perfect honestly.. his voice suits the band itself. But for for vocal perfection nah..
Look up Chris Cornell
then Jesus said "Let's do it again" and Arnel was born
Perry's voice is a finely tuned and functioning instrument! Wow!
Steve Abbott ...yeah before,have you listen to his latest singing?on t the same steve from the 80s
Steve Abbott ...thirty years ago
Steve Perry will Always be the best lead singer. He made Journey great. I love you Steve. 💜
I agree. Steve Perry is a once in a lifetime voice and talent. He can be copied but no one has a voice like his voice.
Steve Perry was Journey.
Steve Perry IS Jouney!
@@ScottySmac Was*
@@ScottySmac Saying that steve perry IS journey means you completely disregard the other band mates in journey. Journey could have completely different people playing in the band, and you'd still call it the real journey as long as steve is in it
@@mf24yo931 Think what you want but Journey never would have been successful if Steve was not in it to begin with. No Journey, no Arnel..... get it? I love Arnel.
@@ScottySmac and journey would never have had a revamp if it wasn't for arnel. No arnel, no future for journey, get it?
Steve Perry is the best by far, closely followed by Arnei Great song Believin
One of my most favorite bands. Proud to have grown up in the same area as Steve Perry in central California.
いくら脱退したあとでも
このジャーニーっていうバンドグループ
が大好きなのが何処と無くと伝わってくる
ほんとにいい人だよ 尊敬する
Steve I think your absolutely amazing. Arnel is like a camilion he can sing whatever he wants and sounds amazing! both your voices are amazingly beautiful!!
There is no Battle. Steve Perry was and will ALWAYS BE KING. PERIOD.
Neil Tipton ...what happen to the king when he gets old? they replace him...move on people
@ Neil Tipton;
Agreed.
p
why does there have to be a battle?
Neil Tipton Steve is old now.. now its time for ArnelP.. move on
Steve is undoubtedly number one. And Arnel to my mind is clearly second. The other two guys, while I admire their effort and courage in trying to pull this off, aren't even in the ball game.
It just wasn't his voice he brought everything to make that band, heart, personality ,charisma, most of all that voice!!! We were all blessed to hear him!!
Steve Perry made Journey, one of the best vocal singer off all time, the competition is not even close
Arnel Pineda is really good as the front man of Journey but, nobody will every be as good as Steve Perry. I can't listen to Journey with any other lead singer than Steve Perry. He wrote and co wrote nearly all the Journey songs so he sings them from his heart, it's not just singing another song for him, they came from his heart and experiences. Nothing can beat that. Steve Perry is the one an only for me.
No he’s not. No sex appeal, little passion. He’s a cover singer. Good one but watching him is boring. SO sick of the convo.
Paula Taylor steve though is a quitter and a recluse, a dissapointment to all his fans
Arnel Pineda is not even trying to be Steve Perry. This guy draws inspiration from Steve. So what's the point?
Well said 👍
If you don't want to hear and appreciate other singer who become a lead singer in this period then better not to continue this band anymore... bring back your original lead singer if that make you only satisfied!!! Be fair..
Steve Perry can’t be matched!!
Unique dude!!
Steve Perry always and forever.
Steve "The Voice" Perry is the only winner here!!!!!
This is terrific!!! Thanks for the post to compare them!! Love original Steve Perry, but Arnel Pineda really rox it!!! I'm just glad they are continuing the Journey!!!
Nothing beats the original... Steve Perry👍..
Arnel Pineda, we all Filipino are very proud of you... 7/28/19
NO ONE WILL TAKE AWAY STEVE'S PLACE IN JOURNEY .HE WILL ALWAYS BE BEST OF ALL.!!!
Of, all the singers Journey has had, Steve Perry gifted voice, I've never heard anyone else that could beat Steve's voice. In my opinion his voice is what Journey was. 🥰
No one compares to "the voice", but all the others are worthy. These guys give their best and are amazing in their own right. Arnel is the closest to Perry and Soto is totally a talent largely unrecognized.
perry and pineda is the best voice
STEVE PERRY cannot be out matched. He is the best of the best of the best Past , Present, Future, Forever.
