If you let Steve Perry perform these songs, I guess he had lost some of his voice too. Performing night after night is really hard but Arnel never complained and kept it going. What a humble, amazing and great singer this man is.
I listen his voice I'm so glad because of besides his voice he continue to sing hard song of journey I thing it's time to arnel retired in the world of bands..
we are only human no one individuals can sustained a long time of singing if on the live concert which he is pressured by his band group...if you are stressed due to our different circulations of actual personal problems in health which we cannot set aside that... the vocal must need to relax not to succesiveness shouting stressed will affect your voice. oh my God heal the arnel stress voice.
That's one reason Steve Perry cannot back journey to save vocal chords ... Journey song hard and powerful. age is old and older can cause destroy vocal chord.
Arnel is simply amazing. He tries very hard to keep the journey Tradition alive. As a chauffeur i drove Arnel to one of their shows. The whole 1hr drive he was singing and loosening up his vocals ..he was amazing just like him. And after the concert he hopped back in car absolutely drained but was still singing. Guys something special ! God bless Arnel Pineda
What an amazing story! Thank you! What I love is his humility. He keeps the Journey magic alive. All of the folks criticizing him really don't know how hard it must be to try to step into Steve's shoes. Arnel would agree himself that there is only one Steve- he's his idol! I think Journey is great. I didn't even like them in the 80's- I thought they were cheesy. But I love them now that I'm an old lady lol. Thanks again for sharing your story!
I am also a loyal fan of the journey for more than 30 years. I have always been very grateful to Arnel for his hard work, and have been continuing the spirit of the journey for us. Even though Arnel is no longer broad because he is 50 years old, I think I will always support this. A group with heart.Thank you Journey.Thank you Arnel!
Try singing those Journey songs night after night. Its at the top of a 1st tenor register. Im a pro vocalist and have toured. Its grueling. If he is lacking sleep his body is tired.. Vocal chords are part of the body and automatically tired at that point. His voice is tired and he is trying to not blow it out. Been there. I know the feeling. Every Journey singer has gone into burnout!!. Not enough rest between gigs. As soon as the gig is over, your racing to the next gig. They do one nighters, meaning, no rest between gigs. Night after night they are performing.. It burns out the singers. Everyone else is playing an instrument, just plug in and play. The human body takes a beating from touring. Remember that Journey is Neal!!!. Deen has one hell of a voice and could, quite frankly, be the lead vocalist but they need a frontman. Singing in that register is killer night after night. Neal, give your singer a break. Hopefully, Arnel is taking care of himself. You have to sleep well, eat well, no alcohol or drugs, no smoking. Its rough. Despite his voice being tired, he is doing one hell of a job. Neal, give Arnel a few days off!!!
This is to every Journey fan. If you can sing (in the same register that the Journety songs are written), I challenge you to sing the entire set, running around like Arnel does, AND,, get on the bus and go to the next gig, or fly, hardly get any rest and eat properly? night, after night in a different city. Sometimes you dont have the time to sleep properly and eat, you have to get to the venue and soundcheck and before you know it, you are performing again. I was a touring vocalist. You have no idea the toll it takes on the vocal cords and the body. Sing the entire set & perform on a few hours of sleep day after day after day. A cover band does not do one nighers and tours the world. The ultimate touring condition is a private jet, so you can get immediately to the next city, rest, eat and perform. That only happens to a choice few. Takes alot of money. I still have the same singing voice I did when I was 30. I sing 4 sets on a weekend, but I dont tour and do 1 1/2 or 2 hours of non stop top of my range songs night after night.. Those Journey songs are brutal when your peddling your voice up on the top of your register and going into falsetto. If Arnel is smoking, drinking, drugs & not hydrating & resting properly, it will affect the voice. I know a few industry secrets that vocalists do in order to "make the show go on" If anyone is a professional vocalist in the dead music industry we have now, or a touring musician you will know what Im talking about. Ill give you a hint, you have to have a DR & they administer it to you. Im not going to name names, but I know of quite a few who have done it, including myself!! Only once Ive done it. It has consequences if done frequently.
@@themcfamilybentzil9449 Unless people are doing one nighters in a different city, they have no clue as to what it takes. As soon as your show is over, your traveling to the next gig. I have friends who just toured with Alice Cooper. Alice Flies to each gig, the rest of the band goes on a bus for a 12 to 14 hour drive.. Ive done that. I have trouble sleeping under the best conditions, on a bus, its horrible. Do you think the entire band is sleeping? no! it can be a madhouse. Vocalists have to rest the voice, sleep, eat properly, etc. no drugs, no booze, no smoking. Journey tunes reach up to a soprano register and belting out. There were times when management had to fly me to the next gig so that I could sleep. The rest of the band got pissed off. Management said, well if she cant sing, you cant play. no gig, no money. I dont know what goes after the show. I can only tell you what Ive experienced and other musicians that have toured one nighters.
Arnel is still doing an admirable job. This was a passionate performance. No one can possibly understand how hard it is to do this night after night for years.
Although I will add … I do feel for him. He was clearly struggling by the end, doing Don’t Stop in the original key. I wonder what they’re going to do?? Might be worth it to drop everything down a whole step. It’ll still be high and powerful, and Arnel can cruise through soulfully and not have to have everything on his shoulders.
@@smw great point on them playing in a lower register…wonder why they decided that night to try original key? Just to see if they could pull it off??……hmmmm? 🤔
Only Arnel given the Journey a justice and a new legacy that continue the band to its fame until now. Almost a decade is not a joke😎 Standing ovation here in the philippines, hoping for another comeback here in our country in Philippine Arena!
So Proud of you Arnel,❤🤗😍 . Steve Perry was best vocalist of Journey but You Arnel brought back the life & honor of the group to perform back again... Hugs!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍
Yes we understand the fact that arnel is become older and older and his voice is fading but thank him because he saves Journey and still rockin' till today! More power to AP and Journey 💪🏻🔥
Im old and my voice sounds like it did 35 years ago. If you take care of yourself and your instrument (the voice) it can last a very long time. Journey, has gone through 5 lead singers. Neal burns out his lead singers. As a lead singer in several rock bands (signed to RCA with Flame) and metal I can tell you this, there are few things that will blow out your voice. #1 if you cant hear yourself, you will push your vocals and you can loose your voice. With in ear monitors now, alot of that is solved. But, look closely at some bands, the lead singer doesnt use in ear monitors. They are not for everyone. I personally cant use them well because I have tinnitus in my ears. Too many years of standing in front of marshall stacks and everyone turned up and long nights of mixing albums with the volume at max. #2 Any form of alchohol or drug abuse - Kiss your voice goodbye! it wrecks your vocal cords #3 lack of rest & nutrition and hydration. Touring kicks your ass. Your vocal cords are attached to your body, if your body is tired, so are your vocal cords without even singing one note. If you have an upper respiratory infection (or the common cold) and sing on top of it, you are gonna blow out your voice. You think Neal is gonna take days off from performing/touring cause Arnel caught a cold. I dont think so. There are a lot of factors as to why Arnel's voice is giving him problems. Its one or all of the above. Here is the inside scoop on permanently damaging your vocal cords. For instance, your touring, you are tired, you caught a cold, you pushed your voice, your voice is shot, etc. So you find a DR that will give you a steroid that will shrink the swelling of your tired or sick vocal cords. A temp fix that will permanently damage your voice. You cannot sing on already sick vocal cords. Maybe once or twice you can get away with it (Im singing at Madison Square Garden, NYC) hell yeah, give me a shot & shrink my cords back to normal. Then your left with massively damaged vocal cords. Its like having a flat tire and driving on the rim for miles and miles. Will your rim be perfect when you go to change the tire? Maybe, if you didnt go too far on the flat.. Same with the voice. If Arnel is constantly having voice problems, there is an underlying problem. Age is not always the answer.
such an amazing show of professionalism shown by Arnel. If you were able to catch him in his prime, early 20s, he is a real monster and could eat every vocalist alive, and all the way way through his 30s and 40s, until Journey discovered him, his range, stamina, showmanship, entertainment value just increased and peaked, he knows how to bring the crowds to their feet and command the baton, like pied pier, and Journey loves all these about Arnel, its obvious they are so happy and enjoying every gig, and everyone is giving their best, keeping it intact and giving a great show night after night year after year. There's a certain magic in them, a formula other bands didnt have, keeping it real, and their personalities shine through. that is the thing about resurrected bands in the middle ages, they have done this done that, and have weathered the storm, and experience is a big factor, and treating each other with respect. they love their fans, and the fans loved them, its a relationship. Arnel has a big heart. his character and charisma, his life story brings soul and essence to the songs, with positivity, and inspiration. with all the success, he still remains the humble guy, and back in the Philippines, he never sports any superiority and priviledged behavior, and that sets him apart from the rest. he should be recognized as a national artist , and in the Hall of Fame in the Philippines. I used to believe it was the Philippine's loss was America's gain, but now I realize his talent was given for the world to appreciate and enjoy. So give him the credit for still rocking hard all these years. He has been singing for 40 years now. Let's just hope and pray the God given voice will be here to stay and he take care of that talent. Much love and respect. Arnel.
Arnel has kept the dream alive for a few more years. Considering he started so much later and had gone thru rough times to begin with, he's done great. Aren't all of us that remember Steve from the outset beginning to fade a bit? Just remember - our parents told us rock and roll would never last, and here we are, half a century later, still celebrating the power with generation after generation behind us still believin'!
@@maryradloff5792 Arnel was 40 when he started with Journey and had gone thru a bad patch that almost killed him and took his voice prior to that. Steve was in his early 40's when he walked away. After that, Journey just wasn't Journey at all - until Arnel stepped in.
I miss the original journey but I have to give credit to this singer. He’s really good Kept up with Steve’s voice that we all admire Way to keep that original sound the same
@ForkU, Steve has 2 new albums and still sings w that powerful “VOICE” & has actually acquired an even more soothing voice due to his age& he just keeps getting better w the different songs he made on traces& as for Deen!!!, he is 53& is killing it still!!!
Studio verse live, totally different beast.,I always go live and that tells me how there voice is trackin and even now live they can Auto tune there voices.Once again, I'm a nobody and I applaude anyone who gets on stage and belts there voice out.Hes a legend and I'll leave it at that
@@dianejones3247 Steve’s “voice” if you have watched or listened to any of his interviews regarding “Traces”, he has spoke on the fact that since music has came back into his heart he is even shocked with the different vocals he’s acquired since he’s been away from it that are better than even before & he was pleasantly surprised by, and was so excited for us all to hear& how “Traces” is unlike anything he’s done including bluesy, jazzy& the “rock” to “ Sunshines Grey”!!! He also did an interview SINGING just sitting in the interview & his voice is still EVERYTHING & SO IS HE!!! He can sing the abc’s or ANYTHING PUT IN FRONT OF HIM!!! He’s definitely aged like a fine wine!!! He’s beautiful!!! 💯 So,,,,,DON’T TELL ME WHAT I’VE HEARD!!! Thanks 🙏🏼
Arnel killed it inspite of his age now he's 50 plus i thInk ..a little bit changes but he still pushed it through...2 thumbs up for this guy....more power to Journey.....
Arnel has been in this band longer than Perry and if Perry had stayed this long his voice would have no doubt given out over time as well. Arnel flat out saved Journey. Dude's a stud
@@ZumaDoggarnel already send a resignation letter to the band journey but they dont want arnel to leave the band... Arnel said he already sick annoyed of being in the band... They are free now no search a new vocalist if they want to...
I’m so happy Deen has returned. He is so incredible to watch . We cover many Journey tunes and I always think how would Deen be moving right now.....Go guys. So inspiring
@@LoneWolf-oi4yx I wasn’t arguing with you. Save your pejoratives for someone else, bobo. You said Arnel was 54, and I was saying he can still sing at 54. A lot of people do. That was supposed to be a compliment. Papuri.
@@LoneWolf-oi4yx I was wondering if you thought I was someone else, because I didn’t mention Perry. Perry did sound different at the end of his time in Journey. I know Deen sang in the original key at 55+ but Arnel has been consistently touring for a long time. That’s a lot of singing.
From what I’ve heard from his performances in the past few months, he sounds really great. I’m more worried of him hurting himself jumping on stage than him losing his voice. Can’t wait to see them live in less than 6 months. I wouldn’t expect to hear an Arnel of 2008, but after 15 years and more than 800 Journey concerts plus other gigs, he is doing an outstanding job.
very proud of you arnel, its already 15 years and you are still singing for us, you did a great job..... worried about your voice, though you are still amazing and nailing all your songs, pls take care always....
Still a great performance by all means! Arnel Pineda is the real salvation for Journey. hopefully we'll him and Steve singing together in a Journey concert.
The UNIQUENESS or the difference of Sir ARNEL PINEDA among other artist is his injection of unique innovations when a vocalist performs in a band. And how he pours his heart and soul into each song as he interprets and sing at the same time. That’s why when The Journey through Neal Schon hand-picked Arnel, there was a Divine intervention in there I feel, knowing that Arnel would give justice to their songs. At the same, God heard and make perfection, His promises to Arnel to grant his wish of recognition not only to his fellow artists in the Philippines and its audience, instead, he gave the world a new energy and a twist in Journey’s songs. As for me, Arnel is never a copycat of any artist for”HE IS HIS OWN MAN OF AN ARTIST “. He does not want to replace Steve Perry because SP among other Journey’s singer has their own time with the group…. And I call it Phase 1 or the First Book of The Journey when they were still younger and middle aged men at the same time. Arnel Pineda, came in the Second Book of the Older Journey…. He is in the Phase 2 or the Phase 2 per se along, Sir’s Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Deen Castronovo and Ross Valory. What I’ve said above were my opinion during my experience of hearing Journey with Arnel Pineda in main Vocals. I don’t even know, Sir Arnel when he was still based in the Philippines. I first hear him sing in You Tube with their stint in Chile in 2008. I was shocked that the main voice was a Filipino among a group of seasoned artist that of Journey. The rest is history and the beginning of my following and liking the Journey with Arnel Pineda as part of the band. Kudos ‘The Journey’. Mabuhay ka ARNEL PINEDA. SALAMAT SA MGA ELDER MEMBERS OF THE JOURNEY, KASI SA PAGPAPAHALAGA NILA KAY ARNEL, NAKILALA DIN S’YA NG PILIPINAS AT NG BUONG MUNDO. The humility of Arnel is impeccable and worthy of mentioning here plus the humility and goodness of the heart of Neal Schon and other members of the Journey, who welcomed him like their own skin and their own level. Being a member of the one of the best seasoned American Band never changed Arnel as an individual, instead he could help more people who need God’s help through Arnel’s good heart. 🙏🏼😇🙏🏼👏🏼
Let's just put it this way, SP is the "old gen" Journey; while AP is the "New gen" Journey for almost 15yrs now and still counting👍👌. GODBLESSAP🙏❤!!! GODBLESSJOURNEY🙏❤!!!
I just saw Journey in April 2022 and Arnel sounded amazing. He is allowed to be a little off on a song or note sometimes no one is perfect. Those high notes are tough on your voice. He is very strict on what he eats and drinks for his voice. You go Arnel and Thank you for keeping the great music of Journey going.
Respect and Love both for S. Perry and Arnel P. for keeping journey alive. Arnel take care of your voice and your health. Hope you take time to relax. Always your forever fan Canada.💙💚💛🧡❤💗💜🧡💖💔💓💟
@@longlivedio3498 I want to hear you belting your voice tot his high tone night after night straight and we will see what you’ve got and bring the Steve Perry too, I don’t think he has the perfect voice now, he’s already old and into drugs before.
I know that he's been singing it half a step lower since at least 2011 but this time he actually sang it in standard tuning you got to give him that credit
..guys remember pinoys are hardworking... and we are proud(pinoys ) of you arnel!!! To all the people who gave respect,COMMENTS and believe in him ,i personally thank you ..AND.for continuing the legacy of the band "JOURNEY" TO BE A LEAD VOCALIST... GOD BLESS ALL OF US
Arnel does the best job any vocalist in the world could do with some of the most challenging vocals ever recorded. He’s unbelievably talented and singing these songs on long tours is insane!!
there are changes because they are getting older, especially arnel, but they don't have to prove anything because their contribution to music is already imprinted in the field of music. Congratulations Journey
While people here are arguing whether AP still got the voice fit for Journey or not with this performance, I am fascinated with his in-ear which got the US and PH flag! So happy and proud of you, sir Arnel! I must say, I just "officially" became a fan of yours and Journey (self-proclaimed, lol) since yesterday, all thanks to your latest interview here on RUclips with Ogie Diaz! Keep on soaring together as Journey! You are doing well, and you are giving your best!
From Texas. I love Arnel. Some history for you. Arnel is 54 years old now. He has been singing this difficult Journey music for 14 years now, night after night. The wonder is that he can even carry a tune after that, but he does. He is awesome. I would pay any amount just to see him perform. For all you nay-sayers, just try it.
@@marcycombs2661 didn't know he has asthma 😮 I do, too, and it's a product of the dry air and plant life, etc here in Vegas. Arnel needs to have a humidifier wherever he is living, while doing the residency and concert, in December.
Every song was like, im on the edge of a cliff. But my man arnel was just a professional and really knows how to pull every song off. So little tiny parts where he's off but dude really have something in him that the band doesn't want to wave him yet. I can hear that his voice has something that other prospected replacement dont have.
Singing 2 to 3 songs just like what Deen is doing is great for his vocal chord. Unlike Arnel as the lead vocalist. I think the credits should go to Arnel. I didn't hear Arnel's voice is collapsing at all.He was just giving his all for every gig that they'd been doing. At least it was not boring, having a little younger and still energetic member added to Journey. Let's give credit where credit is due. Stop being so critical of him, please!
Journey’s songs are very difficult to sing and to play and I challenge everyone to sing them as Arnel still does…if you listen to the last shows of Journey with Steve Perry you’ d notice that his voice was much lower than in the 80s……..Other singers like Bono of U2 changed their voice but they’re still great……Compliments to Arnel ..
@@davidmerlin3344 at his age of 55 he is still amazing..considering during pandemic he stopped from doing concerts..practice makes perpect..soon they will regain that strenth again😊
Steve Perry and his vocal cords went though hell for this band night after night , year after year!!!! And his voice was what he had , not hiding behind an instrument, just his beautiful voice!!!!
Kapag sobrang idol mo talaga ang isang artist and nakikita mo na andaming nagbago lalo na sa boses at medyo nahihirapan na siya, ang sakit din pala sa feelings. We love you Sir Arnel ❤️
Normal yun cyempre tumatanda tayo may magbbago tlaga..dpat naghire uli ang journey ng bagong singer na kaya rin gawin ang ginagawa ni Arnel p..if ever na cya ay magretired na
@@aidagasatan5688 when Arnel retires, maybe Journey will follow since they were even older than Arnel. And most of all, they will not be able to find another one like Arnel who’s got not only the voice but the charisma as well. He is a fantastic frontman from the first day he joined HmJourney til now , 2022. He still rocks and his voice is still amazing in their latest tour in Hawaii.
@@arigatoubitch4573 that mean what that mean no more no less,when you say"no old guy can do that"this is an affirmation,right? but if it's not true you don't know what you are talking about.Now i'll post 2 videos,one of Dennis DeYoung who was 72 at the time and he does it every night ruclips.net/video/upTFeLqEj6I/видео.html and Jon Anderson who was 73 who also does it every night ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=jon+anderson+awr
let's see: Brian Johnson (AC/DC), Axl Rose (GnR), etc.... yes, old guys can still sing after 50. I'm still singing Journey (original key), and I'm 57, despite having 1 of my vocal cords paralyzed probably from birth on. It's all about the proper technique, but it's grueling if someone does it night after night
That's the price of singing these kinds of tunes as a band singer especially when you have been doing it for a long time. Axl Rose was a great singer before but has lost his range as the years go by. Even Steven Tyler has lost his range too somehow. I admire Arnel for his professionalism. It was very obvious that he was struggling but pulled it through. Hats off to him.
The raspiness of the tenor voice of AP is one of his vocal unique qualities but some bashers interpret it as losing his voice! - ( as in Bryan Adams's raspy voice for example ) It shows more of that rasp if AP sings ballad songs in which he put so many emotions and soul to it. which I find an incredible talent. Yes, AP is not SP. but he puts his own rendition to some certain Journey songs which are just reasonable. ( BTW, I moved on, SP is not coming back, it's great that Journey is still alive and AP is helping it happen for 15 years now as frontman! )I saw Journey LIVE Concert twice with AP and I can say it was such an incredibly amazing performance each time. Can't wait to see them again ding LIVE Concerts-- Journey rocks !!!!
Love Arnel ❤️ He puts his whole heart into it just as Steve Perry did all those years. Steve just knew when to stop and give his voice a break. That music is hard on the pipes
I do respect Arnel and he saved Journey after multiple singers after Steve Perry. He doesn’t sing in the same high key in all of the classics that Steve Perry did years ago. Also, eventhough Arnel has sang in the band for 15yrs., Steve Perry STILL sang more concerts than ANY Journey Singer. In Steve’s 10yrs of touring & then recorded his final album with that was released 1996 “Trial by Fire”. You can add up the concert appearances on the online record of ALL Hourney concerts since they began as a band. The kept hiring singers who could sound as close to Steve Perry as possible, since the fans wanted the classics each concert. IMO, Arnel struggled in this video, especially, the last song “Don’t Stop Believing”. Arnel is 54 here and Steve Perry was almost 50 when Jonathan called him & said he was hiring a replacement since he hadn’t had the Hip Replacement yet.
This guy is 54 and still keeps jumping and dancing while singing songs that Steve Perry (god) used to sing back in the 80’s and then a guy came here to say that he is losing his voice 😂 keep rocking Arnel! And never stop believing ❤️
Arnel never complained about his work although bashers continue to compare him to Steve Perry but he left and someone has to fill that shoe.just remember guys,nothing is permanent in this day and age,while at it and with a gift like that,make good at it cause it's a GOD given gift,give your all,just like what Arnel is doing while he is needed he'll do his best!!!
Arnel Is An Absolute Excellent Musical Artist For The Great Band '' JOURNEY '' Since The Steve Perry Has Left, And All Journey Fans Will Never Forget Steve Perry, And His Voice In All The Early Days Of Journey.
Just listen to the sounds of the whole Journey band.. never mind the members they are all fine, and plays good music. And whoever wrote the music.. The important part is the present that at present they keep going and give their best talents and give us entertainment that we enjoy.. their good music..
This is the one performance I wanted to hear, was randomly flipping through radio on the day it happened and was lucky enough to catch the performance from anyway you want it till the end
Being a Filipino .. we are so proud of our very own Arnel Pineda🎊🎉🙏👍👌😊🥰😍❤ we admit that they are getting aged and losing his voice but still we will love, support him and the Journey til they retired.. God Bless us all folks 🙏❤😍🥰
Forget those Karens & his bashers. The Filipinos are here to support & love him for his amazing talent that brings joy to our country, our people and to the world.
@@readmore4178 how can you accurately judge Ariel's voice here? We have no idea how long they have been on the road, he could have vocal fatigue, or a cold, or many other reasons for sounding the way he is. I think he sounds amazing, and his bandmates do too, so who are we to criticize.

Oh my. I could barely get thru this, how heartbreaking for us true Journey fans. Arnel's voice was AWFUL throughout this performance. With each song I kept hoping it would get better, but it was hard to take. Journey has been my favorite band since I first saw them on New Years Eve 76/77. Several times a year I have seen them in concert until the pandemic hit. I am from the bay area, and remained "faithful' thru all the lead singers after Steve Perry departed the band. Neil and Jon exceled as always, as well as Marco Mendoza's new venture with this band. I never thought I would see the day where I would say I just can't see this band live again.OY. Time to break out the old music with Steve Perry!!
@@pamcampanaro6414 It was tough-I felt bad because the rest of the band sounded great and Deen is back. I’m reading positive feedback, but I wondered if we were listening to the same show.
Still great for a 54 year old with asthma!🔥 Hope he can do this for a little longer and can fo this at an amazing level! Love from the philippines sir arnel!
@@WheystedGainzAndArtisticMe yup he is 54 years old. He has been with them since 2007 or 08 so roughly 13 years with journey he was already in his 40's when he joined
@@WheystedGainzAndArtisticMe true, and his energy back then was amazing with the jumping and running around the stage. Brings a lot of energy to the crowd and the whole performance. 'Til now
@@jamesmondragon526 agree, singing while walking and jumping like a young man makes your voice shaky, but damn arnel still has a great voice at the age of 54
Yes. Arnel has been doing it for a few years now, The songs he has been singing are classic, I think he needs a couple of years rest from these high powered songs
Doing great Journey!!! Nice to see u perform again. Way to go!!! Thanks Arnel for keeping the Journey alive! Much respect. You still killin’ it!! ❤️❤️❤️
All I can say that Mr. Arnel Pineda is still a great singer & performer. He has also a share of legacy for the band Journey especially for the new generation. Kudos to Arnel & Journey, amazing show!!! Hope you will be back again in Manila.
I don't see any problem, he sound amazing and he did a good job that night. I mean performing and singing those songs night after night is too hard..like who the hell could sing those songs better than arnel.. This guy deserve all credits and respect by saving journey and continuously rocking the stage.. His fucking amazing... Thats all!!!!!
@@rabfallon4507 with due respect, if you are an artist too, be mindful that in the art of singing, there are factors that could affect our voice, maybe AP is not inusual condition sometimes , but the important thing is AP is already establish his name through journey, maybe journey itself retain AP as thier frontman not just by his talent but the humility he possessed as an artist.
Grabe!!! Nilamon na niya ang Stage👏 I❤️Journey.Hopefully, I can buy ticket soon and watch your concert.🥰 They are a hardworking band then motivated enough because the audience over there as you can see they enjoyed.🙌
Same thing happened to Steve Augeri. Singing these songs the way they were recorded is incredibly difficult. Watch old Journey concerts with Steve Perry. Even he didn't sing them just like the record.
I personally know Steve Augeri. He is a great friend and was in my band before he was in journey. Ive said it all through this thread, Neal is Journey and he refuses to bring the keys of the songs down. if his singers have a cold, guess what, he doesnt cancel the gig, they have to sing with no voice to start with and then they damage the vocal cords even more. The journey catalogue is killer vocally. Its at the top of the 1st tenor register and into a female alto register. Try singing that night after night for months!! one nighters=no rest. Been there. What every band woud love is one night on, one night off and a private jet. That rarely happens unless your the rolling stones.
Vocal exhaustion is normal. At least 1) hes not in autotune 2) mic wasnt overly compressed 3) sang live not pre recorded But its quite safe though to sing it with prerecorded vocal track, journey songs are pretty high.
Depends on Randy Jackson's health issues, and what is in whatever contract he signed. If he isn't able to tour, record, hope Marco gets the spot. Marco will be solo, touring Europe during the upcoming Journey residency and Colleseum concerts in December. But, as you said, Marco is a gifted bassist/singer.
ARNEL,thanks for performing 40+ concerts a year so JOURNEY can make a living and let the new kids CAN hear real music,you and i both know,the whole band is there to compliment your voice and the catalogue of hits,YOU'VE DONE A DAMN FINE JOB
i'm listening to journey everyday and i'm sad to see all of them getting older 😢 his super tenor voice getting faded, he also not doing his super energetic and hyper style on stage 🥲 but charismatic still there 😇 i'm really admired him, he's the one that made journey back to the tracks and make journey young again on 2008 😇 i'm faithful journey fans, even with gregg rolie, steve perry, steve augeri or arnel pineda . long live journey ❤️
@@sajones-409 Arnel has been sounding like that since their last tour in 2019. I thought maybe his voice was burned out or something. Thankfully he got a long break due to the pandemic and probably might bring back his pipes but sadly he still sounds the same maybe the damage has been done on his vocals.
Im so proud of you Arnel my kababayan,kapinoy...the show must go on even your voice will cracking,your not hesitate to continue the show,i know your tired as always gigs and do your part as a lead..your not any younger,you need to take a rest,im sure all your bandmates concern to your voice,,makes a lot of sleep,eat well and rest your voice,,all Filipinos will proud of you...im searching all your song,gigs 3days ago and watching like a marathon until now,.You make us proud,Thank you..
Deen is back!!!!! So cool..... Neal man, you need to lower the key of the songs, otherwise you're gonna kill Arnel. He has done a wonderful job, but time doesn't forgive..... still has a wonderful voice but the band needs to play on a lower key, at the end he was just forcing it so much.
Someone else said they're playing these in the original key now, and haven't done so since pre-2013. What a kick in the nuts to Arnel, I wonder why they decided to do that it's kind of a kick in the nuts to Arnel. It was totally fine a half-step down. Plus like I said to someone else not only is a bit easier to sing that's also where Arnel's voice is USED to singing those songs. The voice is a muscle like any other and his muscle memory isn't there in this key having done it the other way for so long. It's like playing a song on trombone one way for 8 years, now you have to re-learn all the muscle memory to play it in a different key, the old muscle habits and positions aren't going to work, and it'll be a bit shaky, just like this performance was.
Remember the time he is sick but still continue to perform. This guy is giving his life in return for the sake of singing. Arnel is such a humble and very kind person to do such kind of sacrifices.
Arnel is one singer/performer who really loves his job.imagine when the band is not on tour,he still do some gigs when he's in the Phil.,and he seemed very happy. Seguro kapag pinag bawalang kumanta yan,mapa dali ang buhay niya.hehe Take care and stay safe.
Trying to stay positive about the fact that they're playing nothing but Perry songs while he's still alive. Shows you how great and timeless that 80s lineup was. Seems like nobody can do Perry, including Perry, and that's too bad. He's the GOAT. But I'm glad Journey is still out there playing and recording. Speaking of which...where's the new album?
Love the band, one of my favorites. Love and proud of arnel. It's never easy maintaining the range for years. So much respect to a legend band and a legend filipino. You make us all proud.
Great to see Deen back where he belongs....BY HIMSELF on the drums....he's da man! Kick ass drummer/vocalist....one of the best of the bestest out there...thanks Journey.....great decision! 👍😎👍🍻🥂
Is it a great decision? With Narada, you had an amazing drummer as well as a writer producer and keyboardist. Deen sure pounds the skins mightily and can sing like a blue jay. However, Neal said they wanted to go back to a Motown rock sound. If true, Narada and Randy are the perfect choice.
@@PeachWNK Motown rock is Neal's term, not mine - but the Motown influence can be heard all over tracks like Separate Ways, Ask the Lonely or, more recently, The Place In Your Heart.
Arnel is an amazing singer, actually sometimes is kind of strange how he sings, but he is doing well... But I got say that Dean Castronovo is a PRETTY MUCH AMAZING singer, his voice carries a "Perry style" like no other... Everytime I hear him singing "mother, father" i got goosebumps... Love his.voice and feeling... And he does all that while PLAYING THE FUNCKING DRUMS! My God! He's incredible

If you let Steve Perry perform these songs, I guess he had lost some of his voice too. Performing night after night is really hard but Arnel never complained and kept it going. What a humble, amazing and great singer this man is.
Thats right when i saw this,, i feel so much respect for arnel..god bless journey
I listen his voice I'm so glad because of besides his voice he continue to sing hard song of journey I thing it's time to arnel retired in the world of bands..
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH !!!
we are only human no one individuals can sustained a long time of singing if on the live concert which he is pressured by his band group...if you are stressed due to our different circulations of actual personal problems in health which we cannot set aside that... the vocal must need to relax not to succesiveness shouting stressed will affect your voice. oh my God heal the arnel stress voice.
That's one reason Steve Perry cannot back journey to save vocal chords ... Journey song hard and powerful. age is old and older can cause destroy vocal chord.
Arnel is simply amazing. He tries very hard to keep the journey Tradition alive. As a chauffeur i drove Arnel to one of their shows. The whole 1hr drive he was singing and loosening up his vocals ..he was amazing just like him. And after the concert he hopped back in car absolutely drained but was still singing. Guys something special ! God bless Arnel Pineda
tradition yes, band no
❤👍
What an amazing story! Thank you! What I love is his humility. He keeps the Journey magic alive. All of the folks criticizing him really don't know how hard it must be to try to step into Steve's shoes. Arnel would agree himself that there is only one Steve- he's his idol! I think Journey is great. I didn't even like them in the 80's- I thought they were cheesy. But I love them now that I'm an old lady lol. Thanks again for sharing your story!
Where do you drive?
I am also a loyal fan of the journey for more than 30 years. I have always been very grateful to Arnel for his hard work, and have been continuing the spirit of the journey for us. Even though Arnel is no longer broad because he is 50 years old, I think I will always support this. A group with heart.Thank you Journey.Thank you Arnel!
Nothing stays permanent, it has its limit,but thanks to Arnel pineda,he's standing tall
He is turning 55 years old for the record..because he was born year 1967😊
Try singing those Journey songs night after night. Its at the top of a 1st tenor register. Im a pro vocalist and have toured. Its grueling. If he is lacking sleep his body is tired.. Vocal chords are part of the body and automatically tired at that point. His voice is tired and he is trying to not blow it out. Been there. I know the feeling. Every Journey singer has gone into burnout!!. Not enough rest between gigs. As soon as the gig is over, your racing to the next gig. They do one nighters, meaning, no rest between gigs. Night after night they are performing.. It burns out the singers. Everyone else is playing an instrument, just plug in and play. The human body takes a beating from touring. Remember that Journey is Neal!!!. Deen has one hell of a voice and could, quite frankly, be the lead vocalist but they need a frontman. Singing in that register is killer night after night. Neal, give your singer a break. Hopefully, Arnel is taking care of himself. You have to sleep well, eat well, no alcohol or drugs, no smoking. Its rough. Despite his voice being tired, he is doing one hell of a job. Neal, give Arnel a few days off!!!
There is no better way to say it.
agree
This is to every Journey fan. If you can sing (in the same register that the Journety songs are written), I challenge you to sing the entire set, running around like Arnel does, AND,, get on the bus and go to the next gig, or fly, hardly get any rest and eat properly? night, after night in a different city. Sometimes you dont have the time to sleep properly and eat, you have to get to the venue and soundcheck and before you know it, you are performing again. I was a touring vocalist. You have no idea the toll it takes on the vocal cords and the body. Sing the entire set & perform on a few hours of sleep day after day after day. A cover band does not do one nighers and tours the world. The ultimate touring condition is a private jet, so you can get immediately to the next city, rest, eat and perform. That only happens to a choice few. Takes alot of money. I still have the same singing voice I did when I was 30. I sing 4 sets on a weekend, but I dont tour and do 1 1/2 or 2 hours of non stop top of my range songs night after night.. Those Journey songs are brutal when your peddling your voice up on the top of your register and going into falsetto. If Arnel is smoking, drinking, drugs & not hydrating & resting properly, it will affect the voice. I know a few industry secrets that vocalists do in order to "make the show go on" If anyone is a professional vocalist in the dead music industry we have now, or a touring musician you will know what Im talking about. Ill give you a hint, you have to have a DR & they administer it to you. Im not going to name names, but I know of quite a few who have done it, including myself!! Only once Ive done it. It has consequences if done frequently.
@@themcfamilybentzil9449 Unless people are doing one nighters in a different city, they have no clue as to what it takes. As soon as your show is over, your traveling to the next gig. I have friends who just toured with Alice Cooper. Alice Flies to each gig, the rest of the band goes on a bus for a 12 to 14 hour drive.. Ive done that. I have trouble sleeping under the best conditions, on a bus, its horrible. Do you think the entire band is sleeping? no! it can be a madhouse. Vocalists have to rest the voice, sleep, eat properly, etc. no drugs, no booze, no smoking. Journey tunes reach up to a soprano register and belting out. There were times when management had to fly me to the next gig so that I could sleep. The rest of the band got pissed off. Management said, well if she cant sing, you cant play. no gig, no money. I dont know what goes after the show. I can only tell you what Ive experienced and other musicians that have toured one nighters.
@@Starz723 thanks for noticing my comment ♥️♥️♥️
Arnel is still doing an admirable job. This was a passionate performance. No one can possibly understand how hard it is to do this night after night for years.
🔥🔥🔥
singing Perry and Augeri songs is not for everyone, Arnel is an alien, one of the best singers in the world in this kind of music.
That's the truth! Totally agree
Although I will add … I do feel for him. He was clearly struggling by the end, doing Don’t Stop in the original key. I wonder what they’re going to do?? Might be worth it to drop everything down a whole step. It’ll still be high and powerful, and Arnel can cruise through soulfully and not have to have everything on his shoulders.
@@smw great point on them playing in a lower register…wonder why they decided that night to try original key? Just to see if they could pull it off??……hmmmm? 🤔
The power of Steve's voice. Just goes to show what Pineda has gone through to sing these amazing masterpieces. Much respect to pineda
I agreed with you!
Too true ,well done Arnel
Com certeza .Arnel está cumprindo muito bem o vocal.
Yesssss, VERY CORRECT,👌👌👌
Journey songs aint a walk on the park. Arnel did good hear despite struggling with his voice. He got the energy.
Only Arnel given the Journey a justice and a new legacy that continue the band to its fame until now.
Almost a decade is not a joke😎
Standing ovation here in the philippines, hoping for another comeback here in our country in Philippine Arena!
💖💖💖🇵🇭
more than a decade
Basta pinoy magaling...
A decade and a half
I agree
Remember, Arnel has been walking this road for 13 years. Doing these night-after-night IS grueling.MUCH respect indeed….❤️🎤🤘🏻
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Yeah..wonderfully said.
There are 40 concerts in 3 months coming up from Feb 22-May 11, 2022 with guests Billy Idol and Toto.
Poor guy. They milking this guy for more and more money. Not good.
So Proud of you Arnel,❤🤗😍 . Steve Perry was best vocalist of Journey but You Arnel brought back the life & honor of the group to perform back again... Hugs!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍
Yes we understand the fact that arnel is become older and older and his voice is fading but thank him because he saves Journey and still rockin' till today! More power to AP and Journey 💪🏻🔥
So true
He actually sounds better than ever
I agree..
Im old and my voice sounds like it did 35 years ago. If you take care of yourself and your instrument (the voice) it can last a very long time. Journey, has gone through 5 lead singers. Neal burns out his lead singers. As a lead singer in several rock bands (signed to RCA with Flame) and metal I can tell you this, there are few things that will blow out your voice. #1 if you cant hear yourself, you will push your vocals and you can loose your voice. With in ear monitors now, alot of that is solved. But, look closely at some bands, the lead singer doesnt use in ear monitors. They are not for everyone. I personally cant use them well because I have tinnitus in my ears. Too many years of standing in front of marshall stacks and everyone turned up and long nights of mixing albums with the volume at max. #2 Any form of alchohol or drug abuse - Kiss your voice goodbye! it wrecks your vocal cords #3 lack of rest & nutrition and hydration. Touring kicks your ass. Your vocal cords are attached to your body, if your body is tired, so are your vocal cords without even singing one note. If you have an upper respiratory infection (or the common cold) and sing on top of it, you are gonna blow out your voice. You think Neal is gonna take days off from performing/touring cause Arnel caught a cold. I dont think so. There are a lot of factors as to why Arnel's voice is giving him problems. Its one or all of the above. Here is the inside scoop on permanently damaging your vocal cords. For instance, your touring, you are tired, you caught a cold, you pushed your voice, your voice is shot, etc. So you find a DR that will give you a steroid that will shrink the swelling of your tired or sick vocal cords. A temp fix that will permanently damage your voice. You cannot sing on already sick vocal cords. Maybe once or twice you can get away with it (Im singing at Madison Square Garden, NYC) hell yeah, give me a shot & shrink my cords back to normal. Then your left with massively damaged vocal cords. Its like having a flat tire and driving on the rim for miles and miles. Will your rim be perfect when you go to change the tire? Maybe, if you didnt go too far on the flat.. Same with the voice. If Arnel is constantly having voice problems, there is an underlying problem. Age is not always the answer.
@michael scott okay
such an amazing show of professionalism shown by Arnel. If you were able to catch him in his prime, early 20s, he is a real monster and could eat every vocalist alive, and all the way way through his 30s and 40s, until Journey discovered him, his range, stamina, showmanship, entertainment value just increased and peaked, he knows how to bring the crowds to their feet and command the baton, like pied pier, and Journey loves all these about Arnel, its obvious they are so happy and enjoying every gig, and everyone is giving their best, keeping it intact and giving a great show night after night year after year. There's a certain magic in them, a formula other bands didnt have, keeping it real, and their personalities shine through. that is the thing about resurrected bands in the middle ages, they have done this done that, and have weathered the storm, and experience is a big factor, and treating each other with respect. they love their fans, and the fans loved them, its a relationship. Arnel has a big heart. his character and charisma, his life story brings soul and essence to the songs, with positivity, and inspiration. with all the success, he still remains the humble guy, and back in the Philippines, he never sports any superiority and priviledged behavior, and that sets him apart from the rest. he should be recognized as a national artist , and in the Hall of Fame in the Philippines. I used to believe it was the Philippine's loss was America's gain, but now I realize his talent was given for the world to appreciate and enjoy. So give him the credit for still rocking hard all these years. He has been singing for 40 years now. Let's just hope and pray the God given voice will be here to stay and he take care of that talent. Much love and respect. Arnel.
Pues Arnel ha dicho que cualquier día le despiden. Lo entiendo.
Arnel has kept the dream alive for a few more years. Considering he started so much later and had gone thru rough times to begin with, he's done great. Aren't all of us that remember Steve from the outset beginning to fade a bit? Just remember - our parents told us rock and roll would never last, and here we are, half a century later, still celebrating the power with generation after generation behind us still believin'!
You said, "Arnel started so much later," Steve Perry was 28 years old when he joined Journey, how old was Arnel?
@@maryradloff5792 Arnel was 40 when he started with Journey and had gone thru a bad patch that almost killed him and took his voice prior to that. Steve was in his early 40's when he walked away. After that, Journey just wasn't Journey at all - until Arnel stepped in.
I miss the original journey but I have to give credit to this singer. He’s really good Kept up with Steve’s voice that we all admire Way to keep that original sound the same
Also he sacrifice he's voice to journey
So we can see why Perry can't sing these songs anymore, time eventually catches up and to maintain this range is damn hard.So hats off to this man
Yes.. SteveOverland though has maintained his awesome voice perfectly !
@ForkU, Steve has 2 new albums and still sings w that powerful “VOICE” & has actually acquired an even more soothing voice due to his age& he just keeps getting better w the different songs he made on traces& as for Deen!!!, he is 53& is killing it still!!!
You haven't heard Steve try any Journey songs since he wrote Traces,but the question here is Neal working Arnel too hard ,and killing Arnel 's voice
Studio verse live, totally different beast.,I always go live and that tells me how there voice is trackin and even now live they can Auto tune there voices.Once again, I'm a nobody and I applaude anyone who gets on stage and belts there voice out.Hes a legend and I'll leave it at that
@@dianejones3247 Steve’s “voice” if you have watched or listened to any of his interviews regarding “Traces”, he has spoke on the fact that since music has came back into his heart he is even shocked with the different vocals he’s acquired since he’s been away from it that are better than even before & he was pleasantly surprised by, and was so excited for us all to hear& how “Traces” is unlike anything he’s done including bluesy, jazzy& the “rock” to “ Sunshines Grey”!!! He also did an interview SINGING just sitting in the interview & his voice is still EVERYTHING & SO IS HE!!! He can sing the abc’s or ANYTHING PUT IN FRONT OF HIM!!! He’s definitely aged like a fine wine!!! He’s beautiful!!! 💯 So,,,,,DON’T TELL ME WHAT I’VE HEARD!!! Thanks 🙏🏼
Arnel killed it inspite of his age now he's 50 plus i thInk ..a little bit changes but he still pushed it through...2 thumbs up for this guy....more power to Journey.....
54
Arnel has been in this band longer than Perry and if Perry had stayed this long his voice would have no doubt given out over time as well. Arnel flat out saved Journey. Dude's a stud
It has nothing to do with Steve Perry. Arnel's voice ain't what it once was. It's now painful to endure. He needs to go.
@@ZumaDoggarnel already send a resignation letter to the band journey but they dont want arnel to leave the band... Arnel said he already sick annoyed of being in the band... They are free now no search a new vocalist if they want to...
Deen and Steve are the best. Arnel is bad.
@@juanpalacios3315 then call back Steve to perfom again and Dean as a replacement if Steve can't sing the next song...you happy?
Amazing always
I’m so happy Deen has returned. He is so incredible to watch . We cover many Journey tunes and I always think how would Deen be moving right now.....Go guys. So inspiring
As I look at it.. he did not lose his voice, it regressed, but still there! Come on such as Separate ways is still great!
I thought he was good but No one can sing like Steve Perry.
@@LoneWolf-oi4yx People can sing over the age of 50. We’re not dead yet! Lol
@@LoneWolf-oi4yx I wasn’t arguing with you. Save your pejoratives for someone else, bobo. You said Arnel was 54, and I was saying he can still sing at 54. A lot of people do. That was supposed to be a compliment. Papuri.
@@LoneWolf-oi4yx I was wondering if you thought I was someone else, because I didn’t mention Perry. Perry did sound different at the end of his time in Journey. I know Deen sang in the original key at 55+ but Arnel has been consistently touring for a long time. That’s a lot of singing.
@@LoneWolf-oi4yx Peace to you, too. And don’t call me a bobo again. Lol. 😀
From what I’ve heard from his performances in the past few months, he sounds really great. I’m more worried of him hurting himself jumping on stage than him losing his voice. Can’t wait to see them live in less than 6 months. I wouldn’t expect to hear an Arnel of 2008, but after 15 years and more than 800 Journey concerts plus other gigs, he is doing an outstanding job.
very proud of you arnel, its already 15 years and you are still singing for us, you did a great job..... worried about your voice, though you are still amazing and nailing all your songs, pls take care always....
Still a great performance by all means! Arnel Pineda is the real salvation for Journey. hopefully we'll him and Steve singing together in a Journey concert.
Love this guy! Take care of ur voice n health Arnel. You are incredible ! Much love from France 💖🙏🙏🙏
The UNIQUENESS or the difference of Sir ARNEL PINEDA among other artist is his injection of unique innovations when a vocalist performs in a band. And how he pours his heart and soul into each song as he interprets and sing at the same time. That’s why when The Journey through Neal Schon hand-picked Arnel, there was a Divine intervention in there I feel, knowing that Arnel would give justice to their songs. At the same, God heard and make perfection, His promises to Arnel to grant his wish of recognition not only to his fellow artists in the Philippines and its audience, instead, he gave the world a new energy and a twist in Journey’s songs. As for me, Arnel is never a copycat of any artist for”HE IS HIS OWN MAN OF AN ARTIST “. He does not want to replace Steve Perry because SP among other Journey’s singer has their own time with the group…. And I call it Phase 1 or the First Book of The Journey when they were still younger and middle aged men at the same time. Arnel Pineda, came in the Second Book of the Older Journey…. He is in the Phase 2 or the Phase 2 per se along, Sir’s Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Deen Castronovo and Ross Valory.
What I’ve said above were my opinion during my experience of hearing Journey with Arnel Pineda in main Vocals. I don’t even know, Sir Arnel when he was still based in the Philippines. I first hear him sing in You Tube with their stint in Chile in 2008. I was shocked that the main voice was a Filipino among a group of seasoned artist that of Journey. The rest is history and the beginning of my following and liking the Journey with Arnel Pineda as part of the band. Kudos ‘The Journey’.
Mabuhay ka ARNEL PINEDA. SALAMAT SA MGA ELDER MEMBERS OF THE JOURNEY, KASI SA PAGPAPAHALAGA NILA KAY ARNEL, NAKILALA DIN S’YA NG PILIPINAS AT NG BUONG MUNDO. The humility of Arnel is impeccable and worthy of mentioning here plus the humility and goodness of the heart of Neal Schon and other members of the Journey, who welcomed him like their own skin and their own level. Being a member of the one of the best seasoned American Band never changed Arnel as an individual, instead he could help more people who need God’s help through Arnel’s good heart. 🙏🏼😇🙏🏼👏🏼
Let's just put it this way, SP is the "old gen" Journey; while AP is the "New gen" Journey for almost 15yrs now and still counting👍👌.
GODBLESSAP🙏❤!!!
GODBLESSJOURNEY🙏❤!!!
I just saw Journey in April 2022 and Arnel sounded amazing. He is allowed to be a little off on a song or note sometimes no one is perfect. Those high notes are tough on your voice. He is very strict on what he eats and drinks for his voice. You go Arnel and Thank you for keeping the great music of Journey going.
Respect and Love both for S. Perry and Arnel P. for keeping journey alive. Arnel take care of your voice and your health. Hope you take time to relax. Always your forever fan Canada.💙💚💛🧡❤💗💜🧡💖💔💓💟

Arnel does the best job any vocalist in the world could do with some of the most challenging vocals ever recorded. He’s unbelievably talented and singing these songs on long tours is insane!!
Thanks to his new vocal coach and soundman👏
I’m so happy that 2022 Arnel is the best performance i’ve seen in 15 years.
there are changes because they are getting older, especially arnel, but they don't have to prove anything because their contribution to music is already imprinted in the field of music. Congratulations Journey
While people here are arguing whether AP still got the voice fit for Journey or not with this performance, I am fascinated with his in-ear which got the US and PH flag! So happy and proud of you, sir Arnel! I must say, I just "officially" became a fan of yours and Journey (self-proclaimed, lol) since yesterday, all thanks to your latest interview here on RUclips with Ogie Diaz! Keep on soaring together as Journey! You are doing well, and you are giving your best!
From Texas. I love Arnel. Some history for you. Arnel is 54 years old now. He has been singing this difficult Journey music for 14 years now, night after night. The wonder is that he can even carry a tune after that, but he does. He is awesome. I would pay any amount just to see him perform. For all you nay-sayers, just try it.
I’ve seen Journey twice with Arnel .. he’s a great strong singer !
@@claudiam2541 from Texas. He’s the best.
Yes agree....
Also, he has asthma! He does great for all circumstances combined
@@marcycombs2661 didn't know he has asthma 😮 I do, too, and it's a product of the dry air and plant life, etc here in Vegas. Arnel needs to have a humidifier wherever he is living, while doing the residency and concert, in December.
Arnel and the rest of the band is doing such a awesome job. Love it. Keep on rocking.
i dont like arnel, the way he sing and he's restless on the stage, still steve perry is the best...
This SMOKING music set brings bad the GOOD ol DAYS when MUSIC transported you to HEAVEN. Keep rocking on GUYS. Your music saved so many souls
Every song was like, im on the edge of a cliff. But my man arnel was just a professional and really knows how to pull every song off. So little tiny parts where he's off but dude really have something in him that the band doesn't want to wave him yet. I can hear that his voice has something that other prospected replacement dont have.
Other frontman would sing their own songs live will alter much of the tune.
Belting it out for more than 13 years is amazing . . . hope he could rest his voice and do stellar shows in the future.
I think he doesnt loss his voice. Its just the sound of an 54 year old legendary Arnel Pineda. Still got pipes! So much respect.
Singing 2 to 3 songs just like what Deen is doing is great for his vocal chord. Unlike Arnel as the lead vocalist. I think the credits should go to Arnel. I didn't hear Arnel's voice is collapsing at all.He was just giving his all for every gig that they'd been doing. At least it was not boring, having a little younger and still energetic member added to Journey. Let's give credit where credit is due. Stop being so critical of him, please!
You are tone deaf then.
Journey’s songs are very difficult to sing and to play and I challenge everyone to sing them as Arnel still does…if you listen to the last shows of Journey with Steve Perry you’ d notice that his voice was much lower than in the 80s……..Other singers like Bono of U2 changed their voice but they’re still great……Compliments to Arnel ..

@@aidagasatan5688 when Arnel retires, maybe Journey will follow since they were even older than Arnel. And most of all, they will not be able to find another one like Arnel who’s got not only the voice but the charisma as well. He is a fantastic frontman from the first day he joined HmJourney til now , 2022. He still rocks and his voice is still amazing in their latest tour in Hawaii.
That's understandable as the years go by. Let's be thankful that they can still perform and entertain us with their music. 😊❤️
But could of taken care of it?
Arnel still nailed it, despite being on 50’s. No old guy can do that.
you don't know what you are talking about
@@francoisfavreau769 lol why so salty?
@@arigatoubitch4573 that mean what that mean no more no less,when you say"no old guy can do that"this is an affirmation,right? but if it's not true you don't know what you are talking about.Now i'll post 2 videos,one of Dennis DeYoung who was 72 at the time and he does it every night ruclips.net/video/upTFeLqEj6I/видео.html and Jon Anderson who was 73 who also does it every night ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=jon+anderson+awr
let's see: Brian Johnson (AC/DC), Axl Rose (GnR), etc.... yes, old guys can still sing after 50. I'm still singing Journey (original key), and I'm 57, despite having 1 of my vocal cords paralyzed probably from birth on. It's all about the proper technique, but it's grueling if someone does it night after night
His voice has healed
23:22. He cracked a bit. But we can’t deny that he is still killing it. He’s a legend.
I don't know about "Killing It", but it's mostly passable.
Some in the comments can sing better than AP.
That's the price of singing these kinds of tunes as a band singer especially when you have been doing it for a long time. Axl Rose was a great singer before but has lost his range as the years go by. Even Steven Tyler has lost his range too somehow. I admire Arnel for his professionalism. It was very obvious that he was struggling but pulled it through. Hats off to him.
Alice cooper and Steven Tyler both have their voice lost none
I saw Axl with GnR a couple years ago......absolutely nailed it. Sorry.
Axl did lose it for a second but he is 100% back. Axle’s was mainly due to weight gain and just sheer lack of care.
Yes..he still gave his best on this!
The raspiness of the tenor voice of AP is one of his vocal unique qualities but some bashers interpret it as losing his voice! - ( as in Bryan Adams's raspy voice for example ) It shows more of that rasp if AP sings ballad songs in which he put so many emotions and soul to it. which I find an incredible talent. Yes, AP is not SP. but he puts his own rendition to some certain Journey songs which are just reasonable. ( BTW, I moved on, SP is not coming back, it's great that Journey is still alive and AP is helping it happen for 15 years now as frontman! )I saw Journey LIVE Concert twice with AP and I can say it was such an incredibly amazing performance each time. Can't wait to see them again ding LIVE Concerts-- Journey rocks !!!!
Love Arnel ❤️ He puts his whole heart into it just as Steve Perry did all those years. Steve just knew when to stop and give his voice a break. That music is hard on the pipes
15 years with Journey singing high notes for almost every night and still Arnel can pull the trigger....so much respect to this GUY.
Cope
I do respect Arnel and he saved Journey after multiple singers after Steve Perry. He doesn’t sing in the same high key in all of the classics that Steve Perry did years ago. Also, eventhough Arnel has sang in the band for 15yrs., Steve Perry STILL sang more concerts than ANY Journey Singer. In Steve’s 10yrs of touring & then recorded his final album with that was released 1996 “Trial by Fire”.
You can add up the concert appearances on the online record of ALL Hourney concerts since they began as a band. The kept hiring singers who could sound as close to Steve Perry as possible, since the fans wanted the classics each concert. IMO, Arnel struggled in this video, especially, the last song “Don’t Stop Believing”. Arnel is 54 here and Steve Perry was almost 50 when Jonathan called him & said he was hiring a replacement since he hadn’t had the Hip Replacement yet.
This guy is 54 and still keeps jumping and dancing while singing songs that Steve Perry (god) used to sing back in the 80’s and then a guy came here to say that he is losing his voice 😂 keep rocking Arnel! And never stop believing ❤️
Arnel never complained about his work although bashers continue to compare him to Steve Perry but he left and someone has to fill that shoe.just remember guys,nothing is permanent in this day and age,while at it and with a gift like that,make good at it cause it's a GOD given gift,give your all,just like what Arnel is doing while he is needed he'll do his best!!!
Arnel Is An Absolute Excellent Musical Artist For The Great Band '' JOURNEY '' Since The Steve Perry Has Left, And All Journey Fans Will Never Forget Steve Perry, And His Voice In All The Early Days Of Journey.
Just listen to the sounds of the whole Journey band.. never mind the members they are all fine, and plays good music. And whoever wrote the music.. The important part is the present that at present they keep going and give their best talents and give us entertainment that we enjoy.. their good music..
This is the one performance I wanted to hear, was randomly flipping through radio on the day it happened and was lucky enough to catch the performance from anyway you want it till the end
They still kick ass!!! Way to go Arnel…n Neal playing a Wolfgang,its like giving a tribute to Eddie…

Keep in mind, our voice gets deeper as we age, and Arnel is in his mid 50s now
I had no idea he was that old, I would've guessed 35. He looks REALLY good for his age then.

Being a Filipino .. we are so proud of our very own Arnel Pineda🎊🎉🙏👍👌😊🥰😍❤ we admit that they are getting aged and losing his voice but still we will love, support him and the Journey til they retired.. God Bless us all folks 🙏❤😍🥰
God bless the philipines !! 🙏💖
He didn't lost his voice.. he still have it..
Love and respect for both singers. 10 years of these songs, it just ain’t easy. Band is on fire, love the Wolfgang guitar
I feel bad for this guy.no matter how he tries.to keep Jouney alive.some people cant apprecite hes effort.
Forget those Karens & his bashers. The Filipinos are here to support & love him for his amazing talent that brings joy to our country, our people and to the world.
He’s phenomenal! And gives such admiration and respect to Steve constantly. He too is a fan of Steve and does his best to keep the legacy going!
yes, Arnel is a gentleman and great singer like a Steve Perry.
He’s not phenomenal here though. He’s really poor.
@@readmore4178 stop criticism..im sure you cant do what he does.uneasy to do what steve does.but still.i respect arnel for keeping journey alive.
@@readmore4178 how can you accurately judge Ariel's voice here? We have no idea how long they have been on the road, he could have vocal fatigue, or a cold, or many other reasons for sounding the way he is. I think he sounds amazing, and his bandmates do too, so who are we to criticize.

Oh my. I could barely get thru this, how heartbreaking for us true Journey fans. Arnel's voice was AWFUL throughout this performance. With each song I kept hoping it would get better, but it was hard to take. Journey has been my favorite band since I first saw them on New Years Eve 76/77. Several times a year I have seen them in concert until the pandemic hit. I am from the bay area, and remained "faithful' thru all the lead singers after Steve Perry departed the band. Neil and Jon exceled as always, as well as Marco Mendoza's new venture with this band. I never thought I would see the day where I would say I just can't see this band live again.OY. Time to break out the old music with Steve Perry!!
@@pamcampanaro6414 It was tough-I felt bad because the rest of the band sounded great and Deen is back. I’m reading positive feedback, but I wondered if we were listening to the same show.
Still great show for Journey - long live Journey ❤️
Still great for a 54 year old with asthma!🔥
Hope he can do this for a little longer and can fo this at an amazing level!
Love from the philippines sir arnel!
54?? Been only ten years with them
@@WheystedGainzAndArtisticMe yup he is 54 years old.
He has been with them since 2007 or 08 so roughly 13 years with journey he was already in his 40's when he joined
@@jamesmondragon526 but looked young
@@WheystedGainzAndArtisticMe true, and his energy back then was amazing with the jumping and running around the stage. Brings a lot of energy to the crowd and the whole performance.
'Til now
@@jamesmondragon526 agree, singing while walking and jumping like a young man makes your voice shaky, but damn arnel still has a great voice at the age of 54
he struggling so much pls arnel rest before health issues kicks in, you did great for a decade its time to give your self a rest
Don't worry, AP's awesome voice is back. The pandemic saved his voice. He has been doing concerts with Journey again this 2022.
Yes. Arnel has been doing it for a few years now, The songs he has been singing are classic, I think he needs a couple of years rest from these high powered songs
He has had a year or more during the Covid break
*Arnel is going beyond his voice's limits. True FILIPINO SPIRIT!* 🔥🔥🔥🇵🇭
🔥🔥🔥
i can feel the passion... the heart of arnel and the rest of the band especially neil schon and his guitar 🎸 🤘🤘🤘
rock on guys...KUDOS JOURNEY👏👏👏
Doing great Journey!!! Nice to see u perform again. Way to go!!! Thanks Arnel for keeping the Journey alive! Much respect. You still killin’ it!! ❤️❤️❤️
Arnel is aging but I'm still happy to them live. Man, this band is a legend.
Go watch 2022 performances, he nails them. Every vocalist has bad nights, health issues, not feeling well or whatever. Just show some respect.
All I can say that Mr. Arnel Pineda is still a great singer & performer. He has also a share of legacy for the band Journey especially for the new generation. Kudos to Arnel & Journey, amazing show!!!
Hope you will be back again in Manila.
I don't see any problem, he sound amazing and he did a good job that night. I mean performing and singing those songs night after night is too hard..like who the hell could sing those songs better than arnel.. This guy deserve all credits and respect by saving journey and continuously rocking the stage.. His fucking amazing... Thats all!!!!!

Thank you arnel for making the Philippines proud again! Pinoys can really sing.
hmmm , not anymore
@@rabfallon4507 Quiet, You're voice would do the exact same thing if you were in this band for over 10 years
@@rabfallon4507 have a crack at singing this catalog for 13 years. If you can still speak your name I'll be impressed 😜
Even if he lost his voice i will be always be proud of him as a Pilipino. He had done so much to make us proud. Thank you AP and Journey.
@@rabfallon4507 with due respect, if you are an artist too, be mindful that in the art of singing, there are factors that could affect our voice, maybe AP is not inusual condition sometimes , but the important thing is AP is already establish his name through journey, maybe journey itself retain AP as thier frontman not just by his talent but the humility he possessed as an artist.
Grabe!!! Nilamon na niya ang Stage👏
I❤️Journey.Hopefully, I can buy ticket soon and watch your concert.🥰 They are a hardworking band then motivated enough because the audience over there as you can see they enjoyed.🙌
Same thing happened to Steve Augeri. Singing these songs the way they were recorded is incredibly difficult. Watch old Journey concerts with Steve Perry. Even he didn't sing them just like the record.
I personally know Steve Augeri. He is a great friend and was in my band before he was in journey. Ive said it all through this thread, Neal is Journey and he refuses to bring the keys of the songs down. if his singers have a cold, guess what, he doesnt cancel the gig, they have to sing with no voice to start with and then they damage the vocal cords even more. The journey catalogue is killer vocally. Its at the top of the 1st tenor register and into a female alto register. Try singing that night after night for months!! one nighters=no rest. Been there. What every band woud love is one night on, one night off and a private jet. That rarely happens unless your the rolling stones.
Take care AP. As a Filipino, i am so proud of you.🇵🇭🎸❤️🙏
Vocal exhaustion is normal. At least
1) hes not in autotune
2) mic wasnt overly compressed
3) sang live not pre recorded
But its quite safe though to sing it with prerecorded vocal track, journey songs are pretty high.
Your right
Deen is back where he belongs! And Mendoza deserve a chance, he is a monster on bass and sings backing vocals very well!
They need to keep Deen permanently it looks like they will he can definitely help with the heavy lifting on their very demanding catalog
Deen and Mendoza should stay in Journey.
Depends on Randy Jackson's health issues, and what is in whatever contract he signed. If he isn't able to tour, record, hope Marco gets the spot. Marco will be solo, touring Europe during the upcoming Journey residency and Colleseum concerts in December. But, as you said, Marco is a gifted bassist/singer.
Amazing voice of arnel pineda. Still love it.
ARNEL,thanks for performing 40+ concerts a year so JOURNEY can make a living and let the new kids CAN hear real music,you and i both know,the whole band is there to compliment your voice and the catalogue of hits,YOU'VE DONE A DAMN FINE JOB
i'm listening to journey everyday and i'm sad to see all of them getting older 😢 his super tenor voice getting faded, he also not doing his super energetic and hyper style on stage 🥲 but charismatic still there 😇 i'm really admired him, he's the one that made journey back to the tracks and make journey young again on 2008 😇 i'm faithful journey fans, even with gregg rolie, steve perry, steve augeri or arnel pineda . long live journey ❤️
kinda sounds like he has a cold. We are all human
He usually hits those tenor notes maybe Arnel was sick or just getting over a cold. I love Journey
@@sajones-409 Arnel has been sounding like that since their last tour in 2019. I thought maybe his voice was burned out or something. Thankfully he got a long break due to the pandemic and probably might bring back his pipes but sadly he still sounds the same maybe the damage has been done on his vocals.
Thanks Deen is back he has a good vocal and powerful. Drummer match to Arnel and a good reliever to our frontmsn
When Father Time knocks...
We just have to accept.
Respect to Neal. I notice he"s playing a Wolfgang EVH signature guitar. He's songs are singing through Eddie's guitar.
Im so proud of you Arnel my kababayan,kapinoy...the show must go on even your voice will cracking,your not hesitate to continue the show,i know your tired as always gigs and do your part as a lead..your not any younger,you need to take a rest,im sure all your bandmates concern to your voice,,makes a lot of sleep,eat well and rest your voice,,all Filipinos will proud of you...im searching all your song,gigs 3days ago and watching like a marathon until now,.You make us proud,Thank you..
Deen is back!!!!! So cool..... Neal man, you need to lower the key of the songs, otherwise you're gonna kill Arnel. He has done a wonderful job, but time doesn't forgive..... still has a wonderful voice but the band needs to play on a lower key, at the end he was just forcing it so much.
Arnel has lost a bit, but he still sounds great. I'm more than sure he has a pro voice coach who told him to not strain or push his voice too hard
He does NOT sound great. Those days are gone for him.
Someone else said they're playing these in the original key now, and haven't done so since pre-2013. What a kick in the nuts to Arnel, I wonder why they decided to do that it's kind of a kick in the nuts to Arnel. It was totally fine a half-step down. Plus like I said to someone else not only is a bit easier to sing that's also where Arnel's voice is USED to singing those songs. The voice is a muscle like any other and his muscle memory isn't there in this key having done it the other way for so long. It's like playing a song on trombone one way for 8 years, now you have to re-learn all the muscle memory to play it in a different key, the old muscle habits and positions aren't going to work, and it'll be a bit shaky, just like this performance was.
That's why Steve Perry out the journey to save his vocal chord... Arnel doing great. . To sing very high hard rock song.
Remember the time he is sick but still continue to perform. This guy is giving his life in return for the sake of singing. Arnel is such a humble and very kind person to do such kind of sacrifices.
Arnel is one singer/performer who really loves his job.imagine when the band is not on tour,he still do some gigs when he's in the Phil.,and he seemed very happy.
Seguro kapag pinag bawalang kumanta yan,mapa dali ang buhay niya.hehe
Take care and stay safe.
@@aracelidelapaz6548 A singer should not stop singing, I understand Tagalog my mom is Filipina. 😍
Trying to stay positive about the fact that they're playing nothing but Perry songs while he's still alive. Shows you how great and timeless that 80s lineup was. Seems like nobody can do Perry, including Perry, and that's too bad. He's the GOAT. But I'm glad Journey is still out there playing and recording. Speaking of which...where's the new album?
i love you AP and the entire band. you are all amazing!
Come to think that he always sing on top of his voice all night.Proud to be PINOY

Great to see Deen back where he belongs....BY HIMSELF on the drums....he's da man! Kick ass drummer/vocalist....one of the best of the bestest out there...thanks Journey.....great decision! 👍😎👍🍻🥂
that Deen?
Is it a great decision? With Narada, you had an amazing drummer as well as a writer producer and keyboardist. Deen sure pounds the skins mightily and can sing like a blue jay. However, Neal said they wanted to go back to a Motown rock sound. If true, Narada and Randy are the perfect choice.
@@The_Jewish_Cowboy When have they had a Motown sound?
@@PeachWNK Motown rock is Neal's term, not mine - but the Motown influence can be heard all over tracks like Separate Ways, Ask the Lonely or, more recently, The Place In Your Heart.
@@The_Jewish_Cowboy That will never fly.
We love Arnel and thanks God my fave drummer is back.
Arnel is an amazing singer, actually sometimes is kind of strange how he sings, but he is doing well... But I got say that Dean Castronovo is a PRETTY MUCH AMAZING singer, his voice carries a "Perry style" like no other... Everytime I hear him singing "mother, father" i got goosebumps... Love his.voice and feeling... And he does all that while PLAYING THE FUNCKING DRUMS! My God! He's incredible
I agree.
Arnel We love U..Ur our pride 👍❤️🇵🇭
Arnel masterclass on how to pull off singing like Steve Perry when your voice is a little rough. Gotta give the brother credit where credit is due.
