Deen is blessed with talent that places him in a very elite group with Phil Collins. Both Deen and Phil are extremely talented drummers and both are strong enough singers to be lead singers. Singing a song such as this while playing the drum parts Deen is playing is simply amazing.
Deen is far superior to Phil Collins. Listening to Collins' soul-less voice is like staring at a dead fish. Nothing special, and after a while it stinks. Deen knows how to drive a song and bring it to life.
Add this one to the list of Journey songs that Deen totally outshines Arnel on. Deen is having fun with this song, and it shows. Singing this song as well as Deen does is something few people can do. Playing drums like Deen does is also somethign few people can do. Singing and playing at the same time at the level Deen does puts him in a very elite league with few peers.
I saw them in Switzerland in 2007 and he sang's many song's of Journey included this song and Still they ride and Faithfully....great voice. In February i'll finaly see the show of the singer Steve Augeri in Sao Paulo l....i love Journey band..

@@moonandstars32gmailcom67, Why did Dean reject Neal's offer? I heard at one time Neal and Johnathon kicked Jim out of the band, because of his drug use and after he was in recovery, Neal asked him to return and Dean said no.
@@prometheuspredator7971 From what I know-the first time Neal asked, after SP left, Deen told him he felt more comfortable behind the drums and wanted to be a drummer first. As far as being asked back after he got clean, I’m not sure. I thought it was because he was so busy with side projects and bands he loved being a part of. He’s back now, though. :)
@@PeachWNK, Thanks for the information. Good deal and glad to know Dean is back in the band. Is he just playing the drums or at times does he perform vocals?
Holy crap thanks for posting. What a gem! Deen could sing the phone book and it would rock. I hope he somehow comes back. Granted Steve smith is one of the GOATs.
Deem Castronovo the hidden asset! Love this man and long live Revolution Saints and soon Journey Through Time?..................possibly, stay tuned............
@ddsurfer To top it all of Deen does this while he is playing drums which puts him at a disadvantage as he has to focus on all the aspects of drumming and have the staminia to keep good breath control and a focussed tone. Deen is the one to be envied, not Arnel. Deen is playing drums and singing lead vocals at a level of talent that very few musicans can do.
@14779steve Steve Perry dedicated a Journey song to all of his ball huggers. You might be familiar with it since its from the Escape Album. Track 3 is titled "Who's Cryin' Now".
@@wandagoss8469 so did Steve Augeri and l look how Neal tossed him and doesn't acknowledge he got them back to the stadiums and lost his vocals for it. I love Arnel and Augeri both equally but he was done wrong.
@@ngore195 it's ok. I loved him in Journey, either. I just feel sad cuz he had lost his voice once. But now he's ok so I keep my fingers crossed for him
@laddieola101 You are getting closer. I know someone who ran sound for them. Deen would help Ageri with some of the high notes.. The new guy can hit them all.. quite surprising to me! Deen has also mastered the style of S. Perry very well. : )
Easy to say. Deen sings ONE song a night. He wouldn't hold up for an entire show or a tour. He's said this himself. Listen to his speaking voice. Holy cow.
He sings background vocals. That’s not just “one song a night.” In 2019 he carried all of the leads on Journey Through Time, and he sings lead for Revolution Saints. But I do agree with you about the speaking voice. How does that tenor come from that? ❤️ (I realize this is an old comment, but I hate when people think other band members don’t sing.)
drumplanet yep! Jimmy is the BEST OF THE BEST, And being a drummer too helped a Ton! That man can freaking play!! Was so happy that he chose to follow his bliss and Drum instead of Teching!! Wayyy too good to be sitting behind me!!
@ddsurfer You need to do some research. Neal offered Deen the chance to do lead vocals before Arnel was even considered for an audition. I have no envy for Arnel. If I were to envy anyone it would be Deen. Your ad homenim approach is simply a diversion from the issue. Show me a performance of Still they Ride, Mother Father & Patiently where Arnel clear outshines Deen.
@ddsurfer When Arnel unseats Deen from performing such demanding songs and mother father, still they ride, and pateintly, you can then make your case that he has equal range to Deen or Steve Perry. Hitting a high note is one thing. Doing it on a regular basis while maintianing a clean, clear focused, unstrained tone is quite another. Arnel knows that Deen often steals the show vocal wise, and if he were to deny this, he would be a liar.
@ddsurfer Think about this for a minute. Why woud Deen even sing those other artists material when he is a member of a bonifide professional band for over a decade that aside from a few exceptions does not do cover tunes. Whether there are videos of Deen singing those songs is of no relevance here. The issue here is does Deen sing Journey songs better than Arnel, and the simple answer is that Deen raises the bar everytime he takes over lead vocals
@ddsurfer When you cant refute the message/argument, you have to attack the messenger. Deen is not in a cover band. Why on earth would he sing a survivor song when he works with big name artists in creating original material. Deen surpased the bar band/cover band stage of his career while he was a young teen, and he has earned the right to play and record with some big names -Ozzy, Paul Rogers, Tony McAlpine, Journey and Steve Via to name a few.
@BassmanII - your points are valid but they don't invalidate what I said. Pineda's stage presence would be fine with someone other than Journey. Just my opinion. Thanks for commenting :)
I seen Journey with Arnie and Deen BOTH singing They was Awesome feel like I am betraying Steve Perry by saying this but Deen is AWESOME I had Goose bumps closed my eyes and it was like Steve was there!! Arnie sounded like younger Steve Perry... Just saying....
@ddsurfer Arnel does not even aproach 99.9% of sounding like Steve Perry. Arnel simply lacks the range, dynamics, scale and tone along with that unique blend of power and finese that Perry had. Arnel also struggles to keep his accent from over coloring his vowels. Arnel sings like he is working. On the other hand, Deen sings like he is having fun and he is singing from his heart and he is himself while still emulating Steve Perry.
Why are some of the commentators hates arnel pineda... they picked arnel as the front man for the band because he is the 99.9% sounds like Perry.. augeri 90% for me.. has his own style..but he had to make his voice sound like perry because he is in Journey.. admit he can be in Survivors and Heart too even air supply... admit it if perry will try Air supply, Heart, and survivors songs do you think he can make it?...
Great vocals-- however, being a die hard Van Halen fan, its just too hard to imagine your favorite band without the original lead singer as you grew up with them. hope this makes sense to those that know what I am talking about. and YES I am a david lee roth fan even though his vocals are horrible LOL
@neechee5150 .... and where are your videos now?....... arnel and deen are diffirent... deen is also my idol actually.. but man .. show some respect also for arnel...the most difficult part of a vocalist.. is to cover songs from different artists.. there are things that deen cant do what arnels can.. and vice versa... salute to Journey.... end of arguments... peace!
No disrespect to Augeri, Soto, and Pineda; but why couldn't Journey have pulled a Genesis move by letting Castronovo both drum and sing lead rather than go through so many other leads after Perry was released from the band?
Anyone can sound like Steve and sing. And it takes a lot of guts to sing in big crowds. And the fun thing being in a cover band. If your goid. The crowd will love you. I like to sing Journey. Led Zeppelin. Chicago. Styx. And nail it. And have seen some amazing singers dound like the original singer. Snd sound better. I always look st having fun. And been called with other friends bands to sing civer songs. And I liked Steve Perry. His early days. Lights. Wheel in the sky.. when Steve came to Journey. His voice was amazing. And sold Millions of Albums. After Perry left Journey. The nrw new Slbum with Srnel Pineda did not make over $.100.000.00. And still fo okay at live concerts. Nevrr went to one Zsince Steve Perry left. And back in Minneapolis. Minnesota. Myself. And a few other friends of mine have fun singing Journry songs with covrr bands. And the other 4 friends snf myself is like hesring 5 Steve Perrys singing and soinding a like. By respect. Steve Perry was the best. And slwsys will be. And respect others who sound like Steve . And it is not easy. Especially when 500 or more sre coming to hear you. Perry Rocks
@ddsurfer Why would Deen even attempt to cover Ann Wilson's Alone? What would be the point? If you want to hear that song performed live you would go to see Heart live or some cover band. Your lack of any cogent argument and use of adhomenim labels and attacks is proof positive that you cant support your assertion with a solid fact based argument. I could not care less where Arnel is from. He simply gets blown away by Deen on every Journey song Deen sings
@ddsurfer Cont. If Arnel is so vastly superior to Deen and can blow him away on singning Mother Father, Still they Ride, Where were you and Patiently, Arnel would be singing lead vocals on those songs which happen to be some of the most challenging vocal performance songs in the journey catalog.
@neechee5150 ................... envy................ then why they pick Arnel of all the auditioners out there... he was able to make all the songs of journey don't say he lacks the range ... he can sing also Alone from heart... Listen to your heart from roxette... don't say he lacks the range.. did hear what neil schon's comment about arnel.. he was able to hit the all the notes of the search is over... he can be a survivor member too.
he should've got a gospel tenor to replace peerry. alot of those guys studied music and are amazing tenors. like the tenor from gold city. the kingsmen
@D7J7W7 You're forgetting a few things there sport. First of all, Perry was issued an ultimatum: get the hip fixed or he's gone. Second, with Perry's age, his range and quality of his vocals suffered. Third, Pineda gave Journey a new and fresh spark. And as a musician of 29 years' experience myself, I am impressed by his stage presence. I am also an Earth, Wind & Fire fan and was at first baffled by Maurice White's absence from that group, but like EWF, Journey manages to maintain its legacy
Deens sense of melody, phrasing, and quality of his vocal tone is just simply a much closer to Perry's than Arnels is. If you are going to even step into the ring to sing a Steve Perry tune you had better have an excellent sense of melody and phrasing as well as a good, smooth focussed tone on the high notes or else you are not going to make the grade. Put Deen with a top rung vocal coach for a year and he would completely eclipse Arnel on every Journy song that he was allowed to sing.
That was the keys words, IN THE END!! You failed to mention they had called him earlier and said they were going to get a replacement IF Perry didn't come back. They gave him an ultimatum so HE QUIT.
BassmanII Steve Smith isn’t singing at the same time. I’m sure Deen could do it easily if he wasn’t singing. It’s not like Steve Smith can sing and play at the same time.
@@deansnippysnappycast8436 Humble you are my friend! But you are a monster at doing what you do! And so glad your voice is being recorded and heard after all these years!
@ddsurfer Arnel has to work to emulate Steve Perry's style of vowell production, enunciation and diction. Arnel also strains to reach some of Perry's high notes. Deen on the other hand does these things rather easily and much more naturally becase he is singing closer to has natural voice than does Arnel when they both try to cover Perry's material. When Arnel sings free form or improvises, you can really tell how dissimilar his vocal style is to Perry's.

For a guy like Deen who,s never played with Journey since their start in 1978. Awesome work. Outstanding Performance!!
Deen is one of the most underrated members ever!
I so agree.
Where's this mysterious book of underrated musicians you speak of??
@Hutch McGehee Steve Smith isn’t underrated. He’s a household name on quite a few “best drummer” lists.
@Hutch McGehee Apples to oranges and irrelevant in this discussion really.
DEEN... what a talented musician & drummer! How the heck does he do it? Just blows me away!!!🤩
Wow...Deen can really sing great! :)
Those harmonies live though. Wow.
OMG this song can sing almost as good as classic Steve Perry and play drums
Dean what a freaking talent man. Wow!

He actually did a real great job singing that song!
Dean SHOULD have been the lead singer, but the others singers helped JOURNEY out so much, all had talent, so thank you so much.

Deen was the biggest asset this band ever had!! I wish he was back in the lineup, he was the Perfect fit
You got your wish :)
When I saw Journey in '08 with Arnel Pineda, Deen sang this song and was amazing. Even better than the performance we hear on this clip.
Still listening to Journey May 2020 & Deen is talented on the drum kit
I was at this concert. It was truly awesome! Thank you for posting it.
The most under rated song of Journey.
Man, I never knew about Deen until a day or two ago. They sounded great with him!!

Steve Perry dedicated a Journey song to all of his ball huggers. You might be familiar with it since its from the Escape Album. Track 3 is titled "Who's Cryin' Now".
Damn- Deen turned the singer into a back up vocalist!
Haha that was funny but..true deen is freaking amazing a freak of nature with drumming and singing! Damn just damn !!
Deen had a lot going for him. Great Singer and drummer. not bad on the eyes either.
I love Deen. I think he's hot!
Deen I love you
Actually, this is incorrect. The band waited and waited for him. In the end, THEY TOLD HIM "we're moving on without you". It's a fact.
Deen's vocal kicks arnel in the ass... he's no Steve Perry, granted, but he f'n nailed it!!
Easy on lil Arnel! He's a good hearted guy!
Shit.. Deen sounds pretty damn close to Steve. I love this version.
Arnels a good guy! And he loves Steve Perry! He sings his heart out every night to honor journey and keep it alive.

Much respect for this band

Keep on rockin brother!
Who needs bad videos like this? It´s always a pleasure to hear Deen singing. But no one needs that video quality.
