Arnel can sing live, brilliantly! Steve Perry murdered songs when he sang live, in a studio he was great. So it makes you wonder how "tweaked" he was when recording the version that came out on vinyl! Keep singing Arnel, keep Journey alive and improved!
I adore Steve Perry miss him terribly but I chose to move on and embrace this very talented and fantastic replacement. I think he is great, I love his enthusiasm!
There are plenty of SP videos to watch. Even some made this year. If you don't care for this lead singer or the band, don't listen. Nobody twisting your arm, I'm sure.
IF THAT UNLIKE BUTTON WINS AT THE END THEN AP IS NOT WORTH TO BE THE REPLACEMENT OF SP BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN CO'Z PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE CURIOUS ABOUT THIS GUY AND HE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF A KIND, TALENTED AND THE PASSION OF SINGING IS IN HIS BLOOD..COME ON GIVE A GUY SOME CREDIT!! GO AP/JOURNEY THE WORLD IS YOURS OH YEAH!!
I've seen Journey with both Steve and Arnel. I liked Arnel better. The guy is phenomenal. Great energy on stage. Great voice. Really surprised me at how good the band was live (summer of 2012).
Yes, that is right. There is only ONE Steve Perry. So I wish people would STOP comparing Steve and Arnel, because there are no two people EXACTLY alike. When you lose someone in a band, you replace them out of a choice of many, to get someone that sounds as close to the original singer or band member as possible. And i'm pretty sure the band would rather deal with Arnel everyday on the road than deal with Perry's offstage drama. Pineda, Schon, Valory, Cain, and Castronovo ARE JOURNEY! ROCK ON!
Arnel is a superb singer with a gifted voice box. No one can replace (Steve Perry) but, anyone can fill in a vacant position. Journey’s founding elite members saw a need for filling the void and revitalizing the interest of fans and fans-to-be. Journey should continue playing those oldies, but goodies! We wish Journey more success in the future! Journey will be known as the U.S. Ambassadors to the world of HOPE!
he sound of Journey songs is TIMELESS--- it does not matter who sings it !! BUT-- Journey is lucky to have found Arnel Pineda !!AP has that tenor unique masculine voice that has a natural rasp that makes it amazing !! He masters the song perfectly and is able to sing like in-studio recording while he is doing Concerts on LIVE---night after night !!! AP"s vocal versatility, talent, and unbelievable energy are the fuel that keeps the Journey Concert rocking for many years !! I lived through SP years --but he left Journey, band, so I move on, and so as SP ! Now, with AP around and delivering Journey amazingly well songs to maintain Journey's legacy-- why not? After all, SP left 30 years ago.. Some Bashers who are still hoping for SP's comeback---should understand that SP publicly claimed that he is NOT rejoining Journey ( even though AP publicly claimed that he would STEP BACK if SP rejoins Journey--BUT SP said NO in many of his 2018 Interviews.. SP plays SOLO now. ++! With NO one keeping its legacy and NO songs around on shows---- maybe the song will be forgotten, same with the band that goes along with it---and NO additional pay for SP ( because SP gets a cut each time there's Tour Concerts ! ) So, for a handful of bashers out there that want AP to fail----it's not worth it!! Schon and J Cain are NOT stupid to get a new frontman just to please a handful of bashers out there who some of them are racists! There are millions of people around the world that Journey had performed with AP loves and accepted AP and wish to see AP again on LIVE Concerts !! To get another steady frontman may take years--- at that time, maybe there's no more Journey at all !! AP had performed all over the world for many years now ( since 2007 )and millions of people had accepted him because they love Journey songs and he sings incredibly well each time on LIVE Concert! ######### Note: Lines that appear on top of my comment above is NOT my intention, I just have computer problem lately..
Throughout Journey choices of front men after Perry they have tried to come close to Perrys voice. In interviews they would say things like, "wow this guys sounds like Young Steve but with curly hair." They make the same comments in obtaining Pineda. I am so happy for Pineda and where he has come from but Steve is THE VOICE!
He's not trying to be steve . He has his own voice and style . Hello! Steve voice= feminine/solid voice while arnel= husky/manly/solid voice . and i prefer a total performer who knows how to handle his self on stage rather than a singer just for a singer nothing more to offer if you get why i mean.
Although Arnel has covered JOURNEY in his earlier career with Zoo at Hard Rock Cafe,he is a good performer. Touring in the UK with line up Whitesnake well Journey had no chemistry.Whitesnake had chemistry. Arnel is very talented and hope he finds his own voice soon. Steve Perry brought continued success to the band and the original band line up had THEE best chemistry! You can't argue with that. But Steve PERRY IS THE VOICE! BRING HIM BACK!
Arnel never claimed he is Steve. He came from a cover band, so it's natural to him that he can partially mimic the original singers of a song. Anyway, the band ask for it.
I wonder Perry wants his job back? It seems like journey must go on......and picked up the "new guy" along the way. Nobody can be replaced but for the sake of the show that must go on......these vocals are top notch and very good stage presence. If there wasn't a Steve Perry, people would be enjoying journey more
To my knowledge the only time, in the history of music, that an artist doing covers for a band is hired to be the band's lead singer. Anyone know of another occurrence?
I agree with those that say no Steve Perry, no Journey. Although this guy kicks butt singing, this is just a Journey cover band. Just doesn't seem right. I wouldn't pay to see them.
Hate to pop your bubble, but you are or did watch and you are paying for it. And if you meant you wouldn't pay to see them in concert, your loss. Arnel is not trying to replace Perry, he is however trying to carry on the legacy of the band, and in my opinion he's doing one hell of a great job.
+kaito ichumura This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen said about this especially if you know the story behind the fallout, do your home work people.
"Jouney Lives?" How can you post that when you want Hunsicker to voice for Jouney! There will never be a Steve Perry, but Anel comes close. There were issues with Hunsicker anyways and Journey and Hunsicker did continue. The members of Journey know who's a best replacement for their band! Unless you can get Steve Perry back then Arnell is Journey's best selection. Besides Steve Perry should have had the hip replacement right away and rejoined Journey.
Arnel Pineda is awesome with this song, but a lot of the original high notes sung by Perry are not hit. The greatest of those was the high note Perry sang accompanying Schon's Guitar solo in the beginning of the song Perry held that note for a good minute to a minute in a half.. Arnel Pineda is very good and does a fantastic job with this song, but he doesn't have Perry's range. Arnel Pineda has given Journey a shot in the arm that's been lacking for 25 years..
I honestly can't think of one band that has replaced their original singer that has sounded better than the bands original vocalist. Even though arnel is no Steve Perry, he still does a pretty good job when he's on. Sometimes it seems that arnel just doesn't have the goods to sing the song the way it was meant to sung.
HES DAM GOOD THO DONT HATE UM U CAT CARRYA TUNE ON KARIOKI NIGHT THE ,LOCAL DIVE DRINKAN PUKE PUB )) A I SEEN UM 3 TMES AN I LIKE HIM IS IS A GREAT FIT)) an hes not Perry maybe he wont run out on the and like he did))his vocalization skills are impeccable he came from obscurity hes lovin it now sing ya ass off ))) great music !
personaly i'd reather pay to see the real journey on stage not a band calling them selves journey. i am a big fan of both steve perry and steve smith and i always will be. and i am sticking to my guns on what i feel is the real deal to me. to me the real journey includes both steve perry and steve smith in it, not hired help to just keep things moving along. the real journey made music that sent you soaring to new hights beyond this earth.
Journey became a cover band of itself! With a singer that is good only to impress people at a karaoke place because his voice sounds a little bit like the REAL singer of the original band.
I actually like it better, for the most part. I can understand the lyrics, without a cheat sheet. The only part that's lacking is the backup vocals. But only because Gregg Rolie was such a huge voice in the band.
great singer,but , just not the same,you can see why bands like led zep never bothered after losing a member(for whatever reason),journey just aint the same,simple as that.
Intergalactic Sex Warlock I'm going to be blunt here, I've seen Journey 4 times live, twice with Steve Perry and twice with the Karaoke singer, there's no comparison. You obviously don't know music if you don't understand and appreciate what a great voice Perry has.
You’ve gotta give Arnel props! He’s had some HUGE shoes to fill, but he’s been nailing it for the past 15yrs!
wow amazing journey....great singer...
AP love his voice but what I'm amazed at I never realized how great Neal is on guitar seems like he has even better as he got older
I noticed the same thing
Oh come on..I can't get over this amazing arnel..he give credit in every song that he play in the crowd..love him ...
Love this man! They could not have found a better replacement for Perry. This guy is phenomenal!
arnel has more class & talent in his little toe than Perry could imagine ever.
@@noreennadler1466 Yeah so much class he literally got famous copying Steve... stfu
Amazing Journey..Great vocalist.best concert.
Arnel can sing live, brilliantly! Steve Perry murdered songs when he sang live, in a studio he was great. So it makes you wonder how "tweaked" he was when recording the version that came out on vinyl! Keep singing Arnel, keep Journey alive and improved!
true
true
you have no fucking clue what your talking about
Depends on the song
Michael Boulton well Arnel has no hits even in the Philippines, so who cares what pathological liars like you think.
I adore Steve Perry miss him terribly but I chose to move on and embrace this very talented and fantastic replacement. I think he is great, I love his enthusiasm!
Steve was all for Arnel. And not upset at all. Steve was burned out, in his own words.
I can’t tell the difference tbh he hits the notes exactly the same
This is AWESOME and EPIC!! Journey... Congratulations!! Guys, You rocks!!!
There are plenty of SP videos to watch. Even some made this year. If you don't
care for this lead singer or the band, don't listen. Nobody twisting your arm, I'm
sure.
salute
thank you
august2776 , correct.
LOUDERRR 💯
Oh wow this guy is fabulous.
the best of arnel well steve perry is great too but he left the band so why bitter???to arnel??arnel is greattttt...thats the reality
He sounds awesome!
Arnel is the best singer ever had in the band journey. TOTAL PERFORMER!
Great Stuff ..Love Journey
Awesome concert..
God the bass playing and tone is killer in this version
IF THAT UNLIKE BUTTON WINS AT THE END THEN AP IS NOT WORTH TO BE THE REPLACEMENT OF SP BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN CO'Z PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE CURIOUS ABOUT THIS GUY AND HE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF A KIND, TALENTED AND THE PASSION OF SINGING IS IN HIS BLOOD..COME ON GIVE A GUY SOME CREDIT!! GO AP/JOURNEY THE WORLD IS YOURS OH YEAH!!
Ang lupit mo ibng klase k galing mo idol...
Arnel has done an excellent job. The description is nonsense.
Journey is a cover band now and many have ‘Stopped believing’, including myself.
Steve sounds like a 70 year old female smoker now. Pineda is the man!
I don't poison animals. I leave that to the amateurs.
I agree with you. Ariel's voice is fantastic.
One of the reasons Steve left was because the singing was taking a toll on his voice
@@broken_arrow_1179 no, he left in 1998 because he had to get hip replacement surgery and Schon/Cain didn’t want to wait for him.
@@chrislouboutin9059 that’s why I said one of the reasons
Was never a fan, til now. That is due to Arnel's presence and energy-hope to see them in concert.
You guys are crazy. Steve Perry is The man!!!! Perry’s vocals dominate this dude!!
Accept the reality that Steve can't do like arnel did he is now old..
I've seen Journey with both Steve and Arnel. I liked Arnel better. The guy is phenomenal. Great energy on stage. Great voice. Really surprised me at how good the band was live (summer of 2012).
High Tune?Low Tune?amazing Voice!GREAT BAND PERFORMANCE..AMAZING CROWD!!
Perfection 1:00-1:03

Best ever....... they are great......
This is also the first time I've ever heard this song with TWO guitars. Notice Jon never goes back to play the piano on this.
Absolute great voice. But will never replace Steve Perry
This band was my childhood.

SP is senior ctzn while AP still young Alright go go go AP ur d man rock d world
alamay100 heheehe
fyi, at that time Arnel is 40+ years old.
Take this kids on 2016 \m/ >.< \m/
Arnel is great
He's not trying to be steve . He has his own voice and style . Hello! Steve voice= feminine/solid voice while arnel= husky/manly/solid voice . and i prefer a total performer who knows how to handle his self on stage rather than a singer just for a singer nothing more to offer if you get why i mean.

well, steve is not steve anymore...we should just enjoy our journey music as long as we can....right?
he does a great job. get off his back! steve knows who steve is. this guy is great!
Itcoolsong
Arnel never claimed he is Steve. He came from a cover band, so it's natural to him that he can partially mimic the original singers of a song. Anyway, the band ask for it.
Ross,Jonathan, and Neal including Deen looks more handsome now than on their younger years😁
You couldn't find a better singer, this guy is a 10. I just can't take the carbon copy replacement.
I fucking love this guy
Nice
Im sorry, i prefer arnel over perry. Perry is a great vocalist but this dude is just awesome!
Anthony Watkins I think you are wrong, Steve Perry is better by far, at least with this song!
perry go away with ur 2 step schuffle
JOURNEY and the majority of their fans are happy with AP otherwise he's gone by now (June 2013).
Wow Arnel Pineda is hot i like watching all his videos.As if im watching the Journeys concert.
Arnel Pineda... He's got the chops!
Очень классная песня!привет из России..
3:17 killer fill :D !!!
Neal uses so much sustainer, echo and reverb now. I like his dry heavy strat/Les Paul through Marshalls or Fender Reverbs so much more.
Only thing I can say is.........Steve who?
Awesome!
il assure le nouveau chanteur. pas simple de reprendre derrière Steve Perry. La voix si caractéristique. Journey a du coup conservé son âme.....
I prefer Arnel’s version of this song.
I like Arnel also I saw both...
Journey is so lucky to have found this kid, sounds just like steve but trust me, he ain't Steve
Love Steve Perry but this is the next best thing,he sounds very close
I miss Deen Castronovo being the drummer
I'm glad he's back. 👍👍 I love his voice. 😍
Steve Perry's ego is to blame. Props to the Flip on vocals!
Arnell is the best live performer since Luciano Pavarotti! Piss on all the SP wienies that can't let go....
I wonder Perry wants his job back? It seems like journey must go on......and picked up the "new guy" along the way. Nobody can be replaced but for the sake of the show that must go on......these vocals are top notch and very good stage presence. If there wasn't a Steve Perry, people would be enjoying journey more
Well he is singing for them none of us are so there
To my knowledge the only time, in the history of music, that an artist doing covers for a band is hired to be the band's lead singer. Anyone know of another occurrence?
No One Will EVER Sing Like Steve Perry. Journey Just Ain't The Same Without THE Steve PERRY.
Supernatural !
I agree with those that say no Steve Perry, no Journey. Although this guy kicks butt singing, this is just a Journey cover band. Just doesn't seem right. I wouldn't pay to see them.

this guys is not steve, he doesn't sing like steve as well, cuz he sings better than steve :D
Steve, come back !
+kaito ichumura This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen said about this especially if you know the story behind the fallout, do your home work people.

agree
Yes !
+NICOUD JJ GOOD BYE STEVE....Quitters never win!
pineda sounds exactly like steve so where is the different ^^ ?
Great vocalist.nice band. Ein sehr guter charismatischer Sänger.
Well....Steve Perry isn't dead soooo...are YOU a "real" fan? But I do agree with you and your argument.
"Jouney Lives?" How can you post that when you want Hunsicker to voice for Jouney!

Original will always be original, but this guy is not bad at all
How about EVERYBODY keeps their opinions to themselves, because NOBODY cares! :D
Me gustan mayores
Senior Citizen's wants to bring back SP hahahaha!! OMG WAKE UP! SP dnt want to sing wth the band anymore...Move On ppl!!

I sing and I love this guy but the key is lower ....I know cause I can sing the doors off this version ....I can't sing the karaoke
Journey without is not the same. This singer is good, but we can see they tried to put someone in steve's place with a voice aparently same.
face the reality
Journey became a cover band of itself! With a singer that is good only to impress people at a karaoke place because his voice sounds a little bit like the REAL singer of the original band.
Not bad at all...still prefer Steve Perry version!

Live they are on equal ground, edge actually to Arnel live
fix daddys typo millionaires aint got time
great singer,but , just not the same,you can see why bands like led zep never bothered after losing a member(for whatever reason),journey just aint the same,simple as that.
Dean Clement They're still raking in millions of dollars through their albums and concerts with this guy tho. LOL
NO STEVE, NO JOURNEY
better listen to Steve singing journey's musics than listen journey plays nowdays!
then ur not welcome here Brandon Trigueiro ;)
then why are you here? hahahaha
He's no Steve Perry but he sure tries hard.
Completely disagree. He's better. Go back and compare. Steve Perry is also a coward.
Steven Miller I have to agree with you, Steve Perry is better by far!
Intergalactic Sex Warlock that's just ridiculous, he's decent but to compare him to one of the great voices of all time in rock?
Intergalactic Sex Warlock I'm going to be blunt here, I've seen Journey 4 times live, twice with Steve Perry and twice with the Karaoke singer, there's no comparison. You obviously don't know music if you don't understand and appreciate what a great voice Perry has.
Steven Miller Steve Perry is the GOAT, he’s the best. Arnel does a good cover and just keeps the band touring.
