I've seen Arnel five times, live. Saw Perry three times, live. Saw Augeri two times, live. To me, Arnel was better every time I saw him. The energy, the joy on his face, was amazing. The Journey catalog would be a strain for anyone, yet he's out there every night giving his heart and soul to the audience. If he doesn't stay, I'll never see Journey live again.
Arnel should stay. He's doing a great job, and he's the best singer Journey has had since Steve Perry. Hell, the guy's pretty much gotten Steve Perry's stamp of approval. Arnel said that he would step aside if Steve ever wanted to return to Journey. Steve said that he has no plans to return. He said that Journey is Arnel's band now. Steve also has praised Arnel's abilities and his voice. You can't get a better endorsement than that!
Staying in the band is the right decision. No one is perfect, and everyone has bad days. After a while, a person's voice changes, and that means he's normal.
Saw Journey a few years ago in Evansville, IN anf Arnel put on a great show-he should stay as long as he is comfortable singing. He’s a true testament of the American Dream…”don’t stop believing - hold to the feelin” and what I like to say ROCK ON 🤘🏼 ❤🎤 🎶
Been a Journey fan since the 80's, yeaaa i love Steve Perey, but i also love Arnel. People get over it, Arnel is the lead singer of Journey. Yes i like him better than Steve A. He should not quit. Those haters have nothing better to do than bring someone down. So PPPFFFFFF to all those haters out there. Arnel is awesome. Sometimes i do think the music is too loud for a singers voice though. And then he has to strain to keep up. And touring is hard on the voice when you have such a loud fast paced song. Journey songs are very loud and vibrant. But hey after all these years, this band is STILL RELEVANT!!!!! YES
I think Steve Augeri and Arnel are talented singers. Arnel is the closest that sounds like Perry. Nobody will ever sound exactly like Perry. We are all getting older. I enjoyed all of them in a different way. Journey is very close second favorite band after Def Leppard. Went to see them at Citifield in NY last month and had a blast. Arnel, thanks for keeping Journey going.
I enjoyed the Steve Augeri years and albums. Arnel is the next leg in the band and he performs the Steve Perry and Steve Augeri songs equally well. Arnel is the voice of Journey.
As this is playing I bet her stays cos his fans love him very much! WHY would people be bigots? Arnell seems a very humble ,grateful and down to Earth dude ,no need to hate on him!
51 year “JOURNEY” fan and 47 year “Steve Perry” fan! Steve Perry may not be part of the BAND, but he’s certainly still 1/3 of the BRAND ! 1. Love both Steve Augeri and Arnel Pineda 2.Yes! Arnel Pineda should ***STAY*** 🎤 with “Journey”! 3. Yes, I have latest album in my cloud ☁️,apple iphone. Dear Arnel, “Won’t you just ***STAY***with me awhile”!❤
Arnel needs to stay! I am 61 now, been listening to Journey since there conception! He has done a great job the past 17 years replacing Steve Perry! Last, he is Asian like my own family, who is Korean!!! My youngest son jokingly has been accused of being Arnel, they do look very similar!!!!! 🥰😍🥰😍
Arnel brought Journey back from the brink...he has more than earned his place. Journey found him and they brought him in, and IMPO, it brought the magic of Journey back. Yes, I have ALL the Journey music recorded!
I am a Filipino and of course I would like Arnel to stay. But on the other hand, maybe, just maybe, Journey should lessen their tours. Because if not, Arnel might end up ruining his voice just like Bon Jovi and Steven Tyler. Love both bands by the way.
Napakagaling ni Arnel at talagang nagagawa nyang ibigay ng todo ang kanyang performance.Binuhay at binigyan nya ng sigla at buhay ang Journey..Stay healhty & blessed Arnel❤️🙏
Freewill not other's opinion. He will end up like Celine Dion. It's about time for Self-care. Or lose his voice. Arnel has nothing to prove, he's already a legend in music industry. People, It's not our choice but his.
he proved already to the band that he is really a good rock performer. who can jump sing dance in the stage i don’t think the agt champion can do that. neal was eyeing😂on him he is o er weight to jump and sing and dance common neal i owe to arnel the comeback of the journey. when steve perry left.
Journey is not his band it's Steve Perry band he made it what it is today however Steve Perry left the band for reasons of his choosing therefore journey is now just a cover band and that's all it's is to me
@@paulgodbey304while that was the Journey of the past with Steve P, it IS Arnel's now. Gregg Rollie shared the stage with Steve on the Infinity album. You saw what happened after the first live album, Gregg left as their lead singer and keyboardist. Same reasoning- the rest of the band kept a gruelling tour schedule and had a bad work/home life issue. This is a common theme with Journey. Nothing new. Steve A left the band after vocal issues as well. Robert Fleschmann didn't make it too long as he didn't mesh with the band's sound. So, Arnel has held the longevity in that position. Could you hear it in Arnel's voice in that Rio clip that it was too much to maintain the high notes after doing all that time prior with the tour with Def Leppard? NOBODY can maintain for that long without a good break!
@@hansziegler2805Arnel never claimed that Journey is his band. He was chosen by Neil Schon, he didn’t force himself to be with Journey. He went through an audition process & he passed with flying colors. And to top it all he’s been with this band for 16 years , he’s the only frontman that lasted this long with Journey. If you’re still in doubt deal with Neal Schon .✌️
Yes , Arnel should stay. But next time balance health and gig. Don’t work to much . Arnel can still deliver the notes . Only if He prepares it well. Sound check & stop if there is technical sound problem. Let it be fixed before singing.Fans will understand.
Arnell should stay, Hey Steve didn't you use to play at the Seabreeze on roller blades, if so I know you from there!,Paul, I used to tend bar at the L&M!
He should stay. As much as we all want to see and hear them LIVE, Arnel should request, fans should demand, Neil Schon should make Journey's concert tour schedule spread-out to accommodate rest and recovery of Arnel's voice. And for those who still cant accept Journey w/o SP, don't attend, watch, listen to any concerts, and post comments anything about the PRESENT Journey. It's that simple. You're all like selfish abandoned children craving for attention and validation. Pity you. 😜🙄
Arnel needs to stay. Not sure about Jon or Neal at this point. They are the two that need to really look at what the fans are thinking. There ARE bands that have NO original members left and have carried the gauntlet well. Neal has created the issues with money. Jon is doing the right thing by trying to curb spending. They're losing too much staff because THEY AREN'T GETTING PAID! You DON'T treat your support like a volunteer work force. BUT- take the court battles to the background. Keep it away from the fans. Back to Arnel- he's been their lead singer for over 16 years! Longer than ANY singer the they've had. He's done a GREAT job for them. What would YOUR voice sound like after a gruelling tour schedule? Steve Perry was burnt out in the same way. Neal, Jon- TAKE A BREAK and let Arnel rest his voice! Rock In Rio was your proof one is needed! Make it happen!!
I Loved the original Journey.I bought everything they cam out with .I have heard Arnel-great voice but not the same for me.I think he should continue as other people ,me excluded, like to hear the oldies
Only Arnel can make that decision, it’s all about knowing his own voice. That being said, I’m 💯 % a Steve Perry girl, and I don’t want to hear anyone else singing his songs. It’s nothing against Arnel, I just don’t feel the same emotions from any other voice.
Omg, this is just getting crazy with these guys in Journey...every week it's something...I think it's time for these guys to retire, let the name Journey end with the little respect it has left...I think Arnel will be gone soon, since the rest of he guys were on AGT to play for the guy who won singing don't stop believing (which he just sang it wasn't that great) plus that was a not so good thing to do.. Journey died when Steve Perry left..boy did he make the right decision...these guys now are just Drama Queens,
@Steve..Thnks for sharing the good news..I have seen AP @ the venue for 2 years in a row, and he gives an incredible performance each time, he sounds amazing!!.. AP must just have 1 bad night in Rio, to think that the year 2024, it was a long stretch of Tour that started Feb 6, 2024..and may end Dec 2024.. Some popular Rock stars had those moments, they are just human beings! > As for your question if S Augeri, is better?? oh no!!! SA admitted that he would not be able to sing a high register note of Journey...SEE Stv Augeri performance in 2023 below.. >>.Same with SP, of course, SP is the original, and an iconic one--but he admitted too that he would not be able to reach a high register note like he used to..!! --Steve Augeri is doing performances in EPCOT as one of their highlights as one purchased an entrance to the Theme park..This one is his latest in 2023..he had improved a bit with his vocals, check for yourself. .

For those who hate Arnel, Do you think the band's journey will continue without him, Maybe you won't see anyone better than him. If there are any of you haters of Arnel who knows as much or more who is better than him, So I recommend you to Neal Schon
Although I wish he would have walked (he’s done MORE THAN PLENTY to keep these songs alive for 17 years!!!). That being said (yes he captures the Journey flavor better than Augeri) - Neal needs to give this entire band a serious break from touring. And let THEM decide if and when they want to come back.
I say that if Steve wants to come back to Journey he can! Journey is not exclusive after all. Arnel can rest awhile. He can always make a band here at home. Anyways he had been with the popular band fot 17 yrs now. Uwi ka na muna bro!!!
Arnel was great when he first joined Journey 17 years ago. But he's already sung these songs four years longer than Perry. Pineda is 8 years older than when Perry left the second time and 19 years older than when Perry left the first time. You can't sing these songs forever.
Arnel's voice is wornout just like Steve's was. Votes or not it's time to throw in the towel on the karaoke gig. Bow out gracefully while your voice is not completely shredded like Steve did.
The last Journey album that I have is Trial By Fire. That should tell you something. It's really Steve Perry's band if he wants to come back and he is viewed a lot more favorably than Neil Schon is.
Journey is not Arnels Band!! It will never be Journey without Steve Perry! Sorry,he’s ok,but he will never be him and without Steve it just isn’t Journey
Of course he’s better than Augeri. No Arnel should not continue. No I don’t have that latest album. And I think it’s ridiculous that you think the last journey album is better than Raised on Radio. Good grief. That doesn’t even make any sense. Raised on Radio was an incredible album. Arnel is a karaoke singer. I’m sorry. Just go watch him perform with The Zoo. He doesn’t just mimic Steve Perry. He mimics Jimi Jamison and Anne Wilson. He mimics all kinds of people. He is a very good mimic of other voices. It is what his band The Zoo did. There is a very distinct difference between Steve Perry and Arnel Pineda, other than the fact that Arnel is a voice mimic and karaoke singer. Steve SANG all the music. He SANG the high notes. Those notes just flowed out of him, effortlessly. There was never any doubt that Steve would not be able to “hit a note” in a song. The mere idea of that was ridiculous. Arnel does not SING the high notes. He yells them. I’m sorry, but it is very true. Steve is an artist. Arnel is a person with a good voice who has spent his life trying to sound like other people. Arnel is not even in the same league as Steve Perry. And he knows this of course. When arnel first joined journey he was physically able to handle the songs. He can no longer do it. His voice is shot. Yes, he will have his good days, but the bad days will be more and more frequent. It’s not like the recent performance was a unique event. I can find all kinds of examples of Arnel sounding terrible. Heck, his performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction was bad bad. I could barely watch. For years I wondered why Neal didn’t just pull Dean off the drums and put him out front. His voice is obviously better than Arnel’s. Dean Castranovo can sing closer to Steve Perry than anyone alive. I finally found a video where Dean does step up to the mic though, and now I understand. He has no stage presence. As good as Dean can sing, it would not take long for people to start throwing tomatoes, that’s how bad his stage presence is - the arm and hand motions, the body language, he is just not cut out to be a front man. I have huge respect for Arnel Pineda, truly. I have zero respect however, for Neal and especially Jonathan. Jon went off the deep end into religious fanaticism, and Neal is just an absolute greedy egomaniac. He can’t let it go. He can’t stop, ever. And along the way he has taken a vulnerable guy from the phillipines and beaten him to a pulp. Sure, Arnel has gotten wealthy, but at what cost? If Neal could have just given Steve a bit more time and space back after his hip injury, we might have seen several more Journey albums. But alas, it was not to be.
Here's my take on this whole entire thing did Journey fans who love our nail Pineda are the ones that love him the most now for the other half that love to complain and say that I know sounds horrible I like to see all the people that had complained about Arnel Pineda having a bad night let's see them get up there sink night in and night out on stage of 100,000 of people and see how much they can endure that's all I'm going to say
ARNEL SHOULD LEAVE NOW, AND ITS TIME FOR THE BASHERS TO APPLY AS FRONTMAN OR FRONTWOMAN OF JOURNEY, , , , P.S.PLS SEND YOUR VIDEOS TO NEIL SCHON. ASAP, SO YOU COULD START. THE TOUR
Arnel is better than Steve Perry, and Steve Augeri. His voice has always been more powerful than both of them. They should continue with an abbreviated schedule of concerts. If someone cares more about Arnel's voice and having him continue producing the "Journey sound", more than they care about $$, things need to change. The set list needs to change for the first time in 40 years and he needs ample time in between shows to rest his pipes. Frankly, none of them sound the same after 17 years, but none of them are singing what he's singing night after night. The real question is, does Neal care more about Arnel, or more about money?
That’s you opinion. . Steve Perry sings with more power , range, and emotion (in his youth with Journey) he’s lost the ability to hit the high notes ( as has Arnel,) but Steve still gives me all the feels!
I've seen Arnel five times, live. Saw Perry three times, live. Saw Augeri two times, live. To me, Arnel was better every time I saw him. The energy, the joy on his face, was amazing. The Journey catalog would be a strain for anyone, yet he's out there every night giving his heart and soul to the audience. If he doesn't stay, I'll never see Journey live again.
OMG you said it right. Their catalog would be a strain. Energetic tough songs
Arnel Pineda. pls. Stay Lead Singer of Journey.
Arnel is a great singer, no need to question it.
Arnel should stay. He's doing a great job, and he's the best singer Journey has had since Steve Perry. Hell, the guy's pretty much gotten Steve Perry's stamp of approval.
Arnel said that he would step aside if Steve ever wanted to return to Journey. Steve said that he has no plans to return. He said that Journey is Arnel's band now. Steve also has praised Arnel's abilities and his voice. You can't get a better endorsement than that!
Both Arnel and Steve have respect with each other. They praise each other ability as the lead singer for the band.
Arnel should not leave. What he needs is REST and the band should be assuring that, instead Neal is thinking of money
Staying in the band is the right decision.
No one is perfect, and everyone has bad days. After a while, a person's voice changes, and that means he's normal.

200% arnel should stay. But I did enjoy singing don’t stop believing on America’s got talent with the band. Richard Goodall agt
Stay, stay, and stay ❤❤❤ great, singer!

Go go Arnel God will bless you and protect your voice
❤❤❤ stay forever AP journey
I think arnel is a better singer than Steve augeri and yes journey should continue with Arnel.
I enjoyed the Steve Augeri years and albums. Arnel is the next leg in the band and he performs the Steve Perry and Steve Augeri songs equally well. Arnel is the voice of Journey.
As this is playing I bet her stays cos his fans love him very much! WHY would people be bigots? Arnell seems a very humble ,grateful and down to Earth dude ,no need to hate on him!
I want to be Arnel's personal bodyguard. See, this way, if anyone talks any shite about Arnel, I can take care of that individual.
Yessss,

I like Arnel but I preferred Steve Augeri
@@interferenceband7165 Steve Augeri didn’t last long, he was a Journey lead vocalist until 2007, & almost his voice.
drummer Deen Castronovo proved he can sing the Steve Perry stuff......

Here's my take on this whole entire thing did Journey fans who love our nail Pineda are the ones that love him the most now for the other half that love to complain and say that I know sounds horrible I like to see all the people that had complained about Arnel Pineda having a bad night let's see them get up there sink night in and night out on stage of 100,000 of people and see how much they can endure that's all I'm going to say
ARNEL SHOULD LEAVE NOW, AND ITS TIME FOR THE BASHERS TO APPLY AS FRONTMAN OR FRONTWOMAN OF JOURNEY, , , , P.S.PLS SEND YOUR VIDEOS TO NEIL SCHON. ASAP, SO YOU COULD START. THE TOUR
Arnel is better than Steve Perry, and Steve Augeri. His voice has always been more powerful than both of them. They should continue with an abbreviated schedule of concerts. If someone cares more about Arnel's voice and having him continue producing the "Journey sound", more than they care about $$, things need to change. The set list needs to change for the first time in 40 years and he needs ample time in between shows to rest his pipes. Frankly, none of them sound the same after 17 years, but none of them are singing what he's singing night after night. The real question is, does Neal care more about Arnel, or more about money?
That’s you opinion. . Steve Perry sings with more power , range, and emotion (in his youth with Journey) he’s lost the ability to hit the high notes ( as has Arnel,) but Steve still gives me all the feels!
Go, if he continues to sound as bad as he did in that last concert. It's not outside noise, it was the awful noise that came out his voice.
