Arnel, please don't let the haters get you down. you are an amazing singer and even more a beautiful human being. you are an inspiration and please please don't let the cruel people in this world run you away from what you were meant to do. I personally love your voice, and you're a credit to Journey bro. keep rockin' it!!!!!!!
comparison....when Arnel was discovered, people had doubts (mostly americans who thought a pino doesnt stand a chance) When Iam Tongi won AI in 2023, folks in HI was proud and alot of his ethnic group was proud. IT sang both pre-recorded music as WELL as his OWN lyrics! Now I see Richard from AGT won due to his performance of a Journey lyric. Folks on the blog ALL gave him +++++++++ remarks. Why cant Arnel have the same ++++++??? is it because you folk "think" he is NOT american???
I love Arnel. He has been given his all since he joined Journey. We all have our days. Love you Arnel. Don’t pay attention to the haters. Keep on rocking with Journey.
Arnel KNOWS whos the haters, the VERY same ones when Iam Tongi won AI 2023!!! being critical about his ethnicity, physical well being, and other things.... Just look at the contestants who are ejected because of votes by judges......they are rude and nasty!
We all loved Journey in the day with Steve Perry. But I think many people don’t give Pineda enough respect. His voice is very close to Perry’s, and like all of us, he is getting older too. The band can buy new instruments, but a singer can’t buy a new voice. Pineda has been the singer of Journey longer than Perry was. Pineda has given Journey fans that sound that they love for many years. Give him the respect he deserves.
Arnel, I am a 77 yr, old Journey fan !! You are a true humble , good man. Thank you for all the great years you have given me. ( South Florida Filipino )
We saw Journey and Toto in Atlantic City 2 years ago and was really impressed with Arnel. Not only was his voice in top form, but he was jumping around (not quite like David Lee Roth in his prime) but he was doing spinning kicks. It really was impressive and I was thinking, ahhhh…to be young again…Fast forward to recent times and I find out Arnel is only a year or two younger than me! He is not a kid anymore and he is staying in phenomenal shape. I am a Steve Perry Fan, absolutely, but count me as also being a massive Arnel fan, and hopefully the rest of his Journey ride will have less haters. He’s earned it.
I couldn't agree more! I am a HUGE Steve Perry fan and was absolutely crushed when he left. Journey isn't Journey without him. That being said, Arnel came in and was so damn close to SP, that it's pretty damn pointless to quibble about the distinctions, ESPECIALLY since even SP isn't SP anymore. HE doesn't have his voice anymore either. Arnel is a lot closer to OG SP than current SP is. I was actually A LOT more upset about Van Hagar and I loved both Van Halen AND Sammy Hagar solo, but VH just isn't VH without Diamond Dave. Van Hagar was a completely different band.
When the guitar player starts having delusions that is important... Neal literally thinks he's as important as Steve... And when his trophy wife leaves him with all of his journey money he will sure need Steve back to recoup
Bottom line he is a great singer and even greater person. Without Arnel Journey would not be performing at this level since he’s been there. You stay right where you are Arnel, we love you ❤😁💪🏻🔥
Arnel should just walk - he doesn’t need a vote. He’s done so much to keep the brand relevant over 17 years! Neal has grossly over-toured this band, thus over-working Arnel, who arguably sings rock’s most challenging catalog. Remember - his contribution got this band back to arena-level gigs, and that’s saying PLENTY. Blaming him for not being Perry is just plain childish - Somebody had to carry the torch, because it’s about KEEPING GREAT SONGS ALIVE, and Arnel has helped do that in more than convincing fashion.
@AlexRodriguez-hl1vu Think logically and realistically about what you're saying: A 70 year old man, who founded a band and kept it going for 50 years is going to ruin the band. Just by existing for 50 years, the band has already excelled far beyond the wildest expectations of any band. The fact that they've also sold over 100 million records and toured the world for 50 years places them among the highest elite level of commercially successful musicians in history. It is impossible for anyone to "ruin" Journey at this point in their careers.
Lest you remember that concert goers pay for good and quality performances. They were disappointed, didn’t expect it coming, it’s Journey and not a fly by night band
He've been in ae situation before. He lost his voice and quit in main stream. And he came back as a member of a cover band until he was discovered by journey.
A great vocalist but you can't go thrashing your voice all the time.He needs a break! So many singers and especially rock singers lose their voices by hammering their vocal cords every night.Age obviously takes its toll. The voice has got to be managed.
I've seen journey every year for the past 10...Arnel keep up the good work..true journey fans understand..love the whole group..stick together ❤️ always remember we're family!!
Over 90% of the artists in Rock in Rio this year was on lipsync! Even tho he slipped in some parts, I really prefer this (the singer SINGING) then mimming songs.
Yep - Most major bands ARE lip synching now - Eagles, Foreigner for example - that is a deception and a rip off of the fans. Arnel IS a singer and sings for real. He had a tough night and will go on. Watch.
@tatianemoreira5283 excatly. Joe Elliot missed a key tune in one of the songs In August.. actually didn't bother me cause I paid to See him sing Live!! When they are off a bit you know it's the real deal. Shoot even Steve Miller hit the wrong note in Abracadabra.. so be it. Don't Fake it.. DO IT!!
People always have something bad to say about someone. Keep doing your thing Arnel..You're a great singer. We love you..of course no one's is ever to replace the original singer, but you are there to continue their journey..Ignore them Arnel. Keep singing..
Arnel you have kept Journey fans enjoying Journey's music both new and old. Thank you for staying with the band, and for the fans...there will always be people who are negative...
My Wife and I have seen Journey several times. We saw them. at Coors Field a couple weeks ago. They were amazing, best performance from them we have seen. Arnell crowd surfed and was full of joy. Great Singer!
I just saw them in San Diego and I took my grandson who didn't really know Journey but was blown away at Arnel's singing. We all have bad days. We love you brother and let the haters roll off!!!
I've had the pleasure of seeing Journey live a couple times with Arnel as the singer. He is a fantastic singer and an incredible showman. His energy seems endless! The haters are going to do what haters do. It's easy to do in front of a screen!
Chin up Arnel, know that you are awesome even in a bad show. All singers will have one in their career. Chin up, haters will always be haters and stay strong. 👍👍👍
If you ever played live with in ear monitors, then you would know what was happening. He was grabbing his left ear trying to shove the monitor in further. He couldn't hear himself. He was in the audience surrounded by screaming fans, Singers like this are so strong, once they can hear themselves, they can easily adjust their voice. In ear mix was off. Sound engineer mix problem along with being next to all those loud audience members.
Yeah i mentioned the same thing on his FB post… the in ear monitor mix was definitely off and with the crowd so loud he couldnt hear himself…happens all the time when the sound engineers arent compensating for the crowd noise especially if he moves into the crowd but then again sometimes they can overcompensate and you’ll see musicians pull the ear monitor right out. Anyhow I’m glad Arnel is staying and he’s feeling the full support from the band and fans👍🏾🙏🏽
I've seen them live 2x in the past year and knowing just a tny bit about live audio, you are spot on. It irked me to no end sittign there watching it happen
Arnel, you stepped into a position that no one could fill, and you did. Off nights happen. Every, and I mean every singer is going to have them. Even on a bad night, you are still better than most anyone, certainly better than those that would criticize. Hope you are able and willing to continue for years to come. 👍🏼
Arnel deserves more than those bad comments and negativism. He is so underrated when he is tremendously gifted, professional, humble and authentic. Those who are perfect and never messed up may cast the stone now....
I just saw them last month in San Antonio and he was amazing. Running all over the place at age 56 with so much energy and sounding fantastic. He been in Journey 16 years I think and has done a helluva job keeping that band relevant and successful. Props to you, Arnel
As a gigging singer, doing 3 hour long shows, people, this is a VERY challenging repertoire for most singers. Give the guy a break. Filling Steve Perry's shoes is no small feat. Personally, I think they perform too frequently. There are contractual obligations that must be fulfilled. He sang LIVE with what he had that night and I respect that.
I saw them a couple months ago and Arnel absolutely KILLED it live. He has one of the best voices I’ve ever heard live. He had an off night, so what. He sounds better than me. I also have to say Neal and the whole band sound amazing live. It’s live music, stuff happens.
He had a bad night. He's a great singer and has been killing it with Journey for years. It's amazing how people turn on you over one bad night. People suck.
I am a huge Steve Perry fan and he set the bar high but even he doesn't sound like he did and Arinel had huge shoes to fill and in 2018 when I saw them live. They rocked it, he probably needs a break from the touring so he can rest up. Even on his off performance he sounds better than all the auto tune artists today.
As great a singer as Perry was/is, even he hit a point where he couldn't do it anymore. So he left, then went back some years later, and still couldn't do it at the level needed, so he retired from music for decades. I'm honestly not sure why they just don't retire. They have nothing left to prove, and should go out on top. Arnel should move on. As great as his run has been, he's still singing other peoples music.
Arnel is very good, but like others in the past including steve perry, Neal Schon will stab u in the back..he'd rather have Arnel on stage even singing off key. ARNEL needs a break..so did perry when he needed hip surgery. Instead of giving perry the time to do this schon just replaced perry asap..perry never went back. With schon it's all about the$$$$$
@@SalvadorVenturanzaWhat makes you even think Mr. Perry would go back? He's said numerous times he's happy Arnel is with Journey and that he's doing a great job.
Arnel should stay of course.. we love him no matter what kind of night he might be having. We saw him in Rochester NY this spring… he was near perfection on vocals… incredible performance God Bless
I watched him perform with a cold in an outdoor amphitheater in the wind in 2018. He have 1000%...and honestly, some of the other members felt like they were just sort of on the clock and hating other members. He's a pro, and and deserves all due credit for sticking with it.
What a great reply. It can't have been easy stepping into Perry's shoes. I haven't hear much of his vocals, but you can't berate a guy fir being off key or having a bad day, he is only human after all. Rock on Arnel x
I love Journey,the most brilliant musicians. But you would have thought they might have learned their lessons with Steve. I believe Jon Caine admits, referring to Steve, they pushed their thorough bred too far and too fast. You cannot repeat the same mistake and expect a different result. Arnel has also carried the psychological burden of being compared to Steve Perry and who can deal with that. Well, Arnel lived up to the challenge. If he needs the break, for whatever reasons,give it to him guys. I think it was Steve,who made the point that if your guitar strings are wearing out you just get your roadie to change them - not so easy with your vocal chords.Wishing Arnel well.
Arnel. You have been given a precious gift of your voice. We so much appreciate you and Journey. Such talent in a large group is amazing. Thank you so much. Arnel with plenty of rest you will be fine. Think of the lyrics to "DON'T STOP BELIEVING" Rock on Arnel.
Arnel's imperfections make him perfect to me. He is 100% real and not singing to a voice track and faking it. His words explaining his position made me like him even more and rising my opinion of him from just a Steve Perry replacement to his own persona.
Ariel is a super duper good singer. A humble and hardworking. Love his career in singing. I'm happy to know his band members defend him from those bathers. I'm proud of them. Those bashers should sing on the stage to prove if they can match Ariel voice. Before you judge a person put yourself on his shoes. Stay there Ariel. Keep strong. Many people love you and your journey friends. I already watch your concert in north Carolina. Keep up the good works. God bless .
He’s singing none stop since the 80’s he needs serious rest ( long rest and sleep) and he will comeback like brand new ) we’re friends fr California jam ♥️💞♥️Arnel pahinga naman subrang inaabuso mo katawan at Boses mo like before 🕊️💞🕊️
Time to hang up the microphone Arnel you leave with honor and dignity. You proved to them you are really a magnificent singer. I am proud of being a Filipino and proud of you Arnel. Ignore the bashers and they will forever be bashers while You, you made it happen with Journey.
Arnel Peneda you give life to these band. It’s comes the as we get tired and over used vocal. You give it you all and we love you.Take care of yourself.🙏❤️🙏🥰
Arnel rocks. I think he is wonderful. There would be no Journey when Steve left had it not been for Arnel. I love that Journey continued. Definitely in my top three bands of all time.
We saw them last winter in Casper Wyoming and he killed it. I was amazed he was able to go so long and that hard the whole time, and was flawless!!! It was a great show!
After a huge tour, they should have taken a month off so Arnel could rest his voice. He is not a machine, he is a human being who needs rest. People should remember what Steve Perry said about his own voice.
I have been in several Journey concerts and never been disappointed! Arnel has and outstanding awesome voice! I have to say that in my last Journey concert last year in San Antonio I felt he really outperformed every song to the point that I thought his voice was enhanced by artificial intelligence! Whatever happened that night that he was not able to deliver to his maximum potential it make me feel bad! Not only for the general public, band members and you Arnel! I am sorry for what happened that show! Thank you for making me believe in you as a human performer! Your voice really amazes me since your RUclips days! God bless you! Thank you Journey for all the memories!!
If you watch the video you can see Arnel constantly pushing his in ear monitors in trying to hear himself better, it's pretty clear that his monitor mix was bad and he couldn't hear himself sing. Inho, they should ALL probably hang it up, half the band hate each other and they're just going thru the motions for the money. It's a shame, they've made some amazing albums like Eclipse recently but all people want to hear are the hits😞
Dude has an unbelievable voice. Just listen to the guy! Also, he's a human being. He looses it from time to time due to fatigue just like how we lose our voice. Give him a break.
We gotta remember that these are some of the most challenging songs to sing. Thankful for Arnel’s talent, Stevie , and the rest of Journey. Go lang, Arnel! Kaya mo ‘to!
Yes, it was very sad when Steve Perry left the band but these things happen a lot and we should always try to make the best of it. Watch the new Journey special “Don’t Stop Believing” and you’ll see that Arnel is a truly amazing guy who came from nothing and has a heart of gold on top of being a top tier vocalist, so the haters really hurt him badly and he doesn’t deserve that. Love and light to Arnel and the band and may God help you heal your wounds and continue the tour so we can rock again with you, which brings us so much happiness and excitement!
Did you see all those people wanting a piece of the singer about to be stomped on and over. A great vocals.. did Steve have a bad note or two.. Stay your ground, you started and now stay to the finish. This is your call. Allow no one to tell you what to do , unless she’s your Wife!!!! Live long and prosper you deserve it…❤
Arnel is an established singer. And already proven that, so one bad night won't change that fact. Me, my family, and friends love him. We hugely admire and support Journey, Every single one of them...even more so now.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Hey guys.............it's a well known protocol of management and sound guys to give support or (thought of lesser) preliminary acts a worse mix than the headline....I've experienced it myself many times. It's very rare that you get a great mix as a support act. A bad vocal fold back mix can completely throw your pitch.
Arnel is a good singer and a genuine good man. But now for reality, since Steve Perry left for a second time in the late 90s, journey has been nothing but the very best journey cover band in the world. there’s only one Steve Perry without him it simply doesn’t matter who they get, they will never be journey again. Lastly, the firing of two of the great longtime members, Steve Smith, and Ross Valory, was absolutely terrible! And with Neil and Jonathan always going at each other’s throats for money and alleged, spending habits, journey will never be the TRUE journey again.
If it weren't for Arnel, I would never have gotten to see Journey live. My admiration for him is endless. Thank you!
Arnel, please don't let the haters get you down. you are an amazing singer and even more a beautiful human being. you are an inspiration and please please don't let the cruel people in this world run you away from what you were meant to do. I personally love your voice, and you're a credit to Journey bro. keep rockin' it!!!!!!!
Arnel seems like a humble down to earth person and doesn't deserve the hate he gets.
comparison....when Arnel was discovered, people had doubts (mostly americans who thought a pino doesnt stand a chance) When Iam Tongi won AI in 2023, folks in HI was proud and alot of his ethnic group was proud. IT sang both pre-recorded music as WELL as his OWN lyrics! Now I see Richard from AGT won due to his performance of a Journey lyric. Folks on the blog ALL gave him +++++++++ remarks.

Agreed.

Just think Neil thinks he's as important as Steve... Could you imagine
And what is the alternative? There is no one waiting in the wings to replace Arnel. No Arnel, no Journey.

I am a huge Steve Perry fan and he set the bar high but even he doesn't sound like he did and Arinel had huge shoes to fill and in 2018 when I saw them live. They rocked it, he probably needs a break from the touring so he can rest up. Even on his off performance he sounds better than all the auto tune artists today.
agree
As great a singer as Perry was/is, even he hit a point where he couldn't do it anymore. So he left, then went back some years later, and still couldn't do it at the level needed, so he retired from music for decades. I'm honestly not sure why they just don't retire. They have nothing left to prove, and should go out on top. Arnel should move on. As great as his run has been, he's still singing other peoples music.
Te jubilaste? Te jubilaron en tu pueblo? Esa es la mentalidad en el occidente.
Arnel is such a good singer. I just love listening to him. Everyone needs time to rest! Fatigue happens, blame isn’t in the picture.
Arnel is very good, but like others in the past including steve perry, Neal Schon will stab u in the back..he'd rather have Arnel on stage even singing off key. ARNEL needs a break..so did perry when he needed hip surgery. Instead of giving perry the time to do this schon just replaced perry asap..perry never went back. With schon it's all about the$$$$$
then ask Steve Perry to go join back to journey if he can still sing.
@@SalvadorVenturanzaWhat makes you even think Mr. Perry would go back? He's said numerous times he's happy Arnel is with Journey and that he's doing a great job.
Arnel should stay of course.. we love him no matter what kind of night he might be having. We saw him in Rochester NY this spring… he was near perfection on vocals… incredible performance
God Bless
I watched him perform with a cold in an outdoor amphitheater in the wind in 2018. He have 1000%...and honestly, some of the other members felt like they were just sort of on the clock and hating other members.
He's a pro, and and deserves all due credit for sticking with it.
I love this dude. Stay safe, Arnel!
I love every bit of the moment when I saw your concert here in New Jersey in Prudential years ago! Be proud!
More powerArnel your forever the best and no one can take your place and we love u alwaysGod bless u more❤❤❤loveu
What a great reply. It can't have been easy stepping into Perry's shoes. I haven't hear much of his vocals, but you can't berate a guy fir being off key or having a bad day, he is only human after all. Rock on Arnel x
I love Journey,the most brilliant musicians. But you would have thought they might have learned their lessons with Steve. I believe Jon Caine admits, referring to Steve, they pushed their thorough bred too far and too fast. You cannot repeat the same mistake and expect a different result. Arnel has also carried the psychological burden of being compared to Steve Perry and who can deal with that. Well, Arnel lived up to the challenge. If he needs the break, for whatever reasons,give it to him guys.
I think it was Steve,who made the point that if your guitar strings are wearing out you just get your roadie to change them - not so easy with your vocal chords.Wishing Arnel well.
Neil go back to Santana we are tired of your inflated ego!!!!!!!
Arnel. You have been given a precious gift of your voice. We so much appreciate you and Journey. Such talent in a large group is amazing. Thank you so much. Arnel with plenty of rest you will be fine. Think of the lyrics to "DON'T STOP BELIEVING" Rock on Arnel.
Arnel's imperfections make him perfect to me. He is 100% real and not singing to a voice track and faking it. His words explaining his position made me like him even more and rising my opinion of him from just a Steve Perry replacement to his own persona.
Arnel is just a human being just like everyone else..keep going idol.
Hes a awesome singer and a great person every one has a bad day remember hes only human
His dedication and talent is unquestionable.
I seen Journey with HEART in Michigan I took my then teenage daughters they loved it too!!
Kuya Arnel...Dito lang Po kami...nakaantabay...sumsusoporta..mabuhay ka...
My wife and I saw Journey back in July in Pittsburgh and they were Phenomenal. Arnel and the entire band sounded awesome!!
Ariel is a super duper good singer. A humble and hardworking. Love his career in singing. I'm happy to know his band members defend him from those bathers. I'm proud of them. Those bashers should sing on the stage to prove if they can match Ariel voice. Before you judge a person put yourself on his shoes. Stay there Ariel. Keep strong. Many people love you and your journey friends. I already watch your concert in north Carolina. Keep up the good works. God bless .
Dude is the closest thing to Perry. Watch the documentary about him joining the band. He is an amazing singer, and a great person.
If Steve Perry was the singer the same people would be attacking him for tuning down the high notes.
Tuning down the high notes?! Well Geez, Steve Perry is 74, 75 years old after all!!
@@drift3rkid66if you're sane, we're talking about same age if ever! Duh!
Rick Allen ..Thunder God of DL come out and sent love to Arnel as well on Arnels page on FB.. which I thought was awesome
If people would take the time to listen to Arnel sing outside of Journey, they'd know how talented he really is.
He’s singing none stop since the 80’s he needs serious rest ( long rest and sleep) and he will comeback like brand new ) we’re friends fr California jam ♥️💞♥️Arnel pahinga naman subrang inaabuso mo katawan at Boses mo like before 🕊️💞🕊️
Cantor não é apenas voz, cantor é sorriso, simplicidade, humildade, amor pela música.
Time to hang up the microphone Arnel you leave with honor and dignity. You proved to them you are really a magnificent singer. I am proud of being a Filipino and proud of you Arnel. Ignore the bashers and they will forever be bashers while You, you made it happen with Journey.
Arnel Peneda you give life to these band. It’s comes the as we get tired and over used vocal. You give it you all and we love you.Take care of yourself.🙏❤️🙏🥰
Arnel rocks. I think he is wonderful. There would be no Journey when Steve left had it not been for Arnel. I love that Journey continued. Definitely in my top three bands of all time.
We saw them last winter in Casper Wyoming and he killed it. I was amazed he was able to go so long and that hard the whole time, and was flawless!!! It was a great show!
After a huge tour, they should have taken a month off so Arnel could rest his voice. He is not a machine, he is a human being who needs rest. People should remember what Steve Perry said about his own voice.
As a Filipino we are still proud of Arnel. Mabuhay ka kabayan ok lang yan tao lang Tayo.,
I saw Journey in like a smaller Midwest venue. They were all amazing.
Arnel is an amazing talent. Period.
Man Every one has a bad day!!! People who are talking trash. Cant Sing or Play a Damn Note
@richardharvey216 haters will hate.. and funny I agree those who hate the most are those who have no musical talent in them at all. 😡
your channel rocks!...thank you!
ARNEL KEEP GOING----YOUR JOURNEY WITH JOURNEY IS TRULY INSPIRATIONAL TO ALL OF US,PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY JEALOUS !!!
I have been in several Journey concerts and never been disappointed! Arnel has and outstanding awesome voice! I have to say that in my last Journey concert last year in San Antonio I felt he really outperformed every song to the point that I thought his voice was enhanced by artificial intelligence! Whatever happened that night that he was not able to deliver to his maximum potential it make me feel bad! Not only for the general public, band members and you Arnel! I am sorry for what happened that show! Thank you for making me believe in you as a human performer! Your voice really amazes me since your RUclips days! God bless you! Thank you Journey for all the memories!!
Kabayan don't mind the bashers keep it up ❤
If you watch the video you can see Arnel constantly pushing his in ear monitors in trying to hear himself better, it's pretty clear that his monitor mix was bad and he couldn't hear himself sing. Inho, they should ALL probably hang it up, half the band hate each other and they're just going thru the motions for the money. It's a shame, they've made some amazing albums like Eclipse recently but all people want to hear are the hits😞
I am so in awe of Arnel. He is intetnstionally famous but he is a nice neighbor in our subdivision, we even have a selfie at his garage
Dude has an unbelievable voice. Just listen to the guy! Also, he's a human being. He looses it from time to time due to fatigue just like how we lose our voice. Give him a break.
Love you today and forever Arnel💖💖💖stellar and stunning🎶🎤
THE PEOPLE IN WORD LOVE YOU ARNEL PINEDA... MABUHAY KA ARNEL PINEDA...GOD BLESS ALL PILIPINO IN THE WORLD.. GOD SAVE THE PHILIPPINES❤❤❤
We gotta remember that these are some of the most challenging songs to sing. Thankful for Arnel’s talent, Stevie , and the rest of Journey. Go lang, Arnel! Kaya mo ‘to!
I saw him live with Journey & he sang perfectly. As a singer, sounds to me like he couldn't hear himself at Rocking Rio
Yes, it was very sad when Steve Perry left the band but these things happen a lot and we should always try to make the best of it. Watch the new Journey special “Don’t Stop Believing” and you’ll see that Arnel is a truly amazing guy who came from nothing and has a heart of gold on top of being a top tier vocalist, so the haters really hurt him badly and he doesn’t deserve that. Love and light to Arnel and the band and may God help you heal your wounds and continue the tour so we can rock again with you, which brings us so much happiness and excitement!
Did you see all those people wanting a piece of the singer about to be stomped on and over.
A great vocals.. did Steve have a bad note or two..
Stay your ground, you started and now stay to the finish. This is your call. Allow no one to tell you what to do , unless she’s your Wife!!!! Live long and prosper you deserve it…❤
Arnel is an established singer. And already proven that, so one bad night won't change that fact. Me, my family, and friends love him. We hugely admire and support Journey, Every single one of them...even more so now.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Hey guys.............it's a well known protocol of management and sound guys to give support or (thought of lesser) preliminary acts a worse mix than the headline....I've experienced it myself many times. It's very rare that you get a great mix as a support act. A bad vocal fold back mix can completely throw your pitch.
I’ve been there too….
We love Arnel!!
❤ ArneL is Best Vocalist in Journey , and Best BAND IN THE WORLD WOW '!!! JUST STAY'!!!
Arnel is a good singer and a genuine good man. But now for reality, since Steve Perry left for a second time in the late 90s, journey has been nothing but the very best journey cover band in the world. there’s only one Steve Perry without him it simply doesn’t matter who they get, they will never be journey again. Lastly, the firing of two of the great longtime members, Steve Smith, and Ross Valory, was absolutely terrible! And with Neil and Jonathan always going at each other’s throats for money and alleged, spending habits, journey will never be the TRUE journey again.
Jonathan Cain is the one that needs to leave!!!
You're doing great Arnel ❤❤❤❤❤
