FAITHFULLY - Erik Grönwall (Journey Cover)

[@RealDustyMoon]

I grew up with the best generation of Rock Music, never to be beaten, and Journey was one of those bands, and Steven Perry was one of the greatest singer's. You sir rocked that song...❤

[@-Shel-]

Agreed! I love Steve Perry. He was great But Erik could definitely give him a run for his money.

[@orscrub3161]

you got that right! steve perry #1

[@juliahines8330]

i concur

[@JohnDoe-xl1ig]

I don't know. 90s and 00s had great rock bands. Collective Soul, Creed, Rage Against Machine, Audioslave. One Headlight by Wallflowers, Yellow Led Better by Peral Jam will forever be on my top 5 rock list. Tom Morello will always be my favorite guitarist for sheer song quality.

[@sallykeena]

He has a great voice,I love his rendition. No disrespect, but nobody will ever be as good as Steve Perry was.

[@waleskarivera7204]

Don’t know if you’re ever going to read this but I hope you do ever since I started hearing you sing you have given me hope! I am a brain cancer survivor and now I have develop uncontrollably epilepsy seizures. Every time I hear you sing you bring peace to my soul. Thank you for that. Please continue doing what you do for it’s making me feel alive. You are a miracle sent because is healing me inside out.. Thank you Erik God bless you and your family alway and god bless your voice

[@ECarman79]

God Bless You! Music Is Our 2nd Savior!!! Many prayers to you ♥

[@spanky1026]

Love reading your comment, you are an inspiration to all of us Waleskarivera7204. Keep on rocking, praying miracles come your way. I also enjoy Erik's music. I found him by accident, but glad I did.

[@likahartzenberg-tn9wd]

@Waleskarivera i feel what you feel, i feel what you feel ***

[@likahartzenberg-tn9wd]

I found Erik like 15min ago on 30 April 2024 in South Africa❤

[@talismannz]

​@@likahartzenberg-tn9wd Idem!! Listening for the first time, Rome, Italy.

[@phyllistoste2223]

He is so amazing!! Wish he would cone to USA to tour!! Can't stop listening

[@Shayril]

This hits me in the feels. Journey was my dad's favorite band. I think he would have loved this cover.

[@chrissy1310]

Check out Still they ride, such a good song!

[@ryantackett4634]

Dean does an amazing job on Still They Ride and Mother,Father while playing the drums​@chrissy1310

[@jmatt4life]

Wow!!! He nailed it! And let’s not forget the guitarist. He also got it. The whole number was exceptional.

[@meredithchapman2009]

He did a good job.

[@jmatt4life]

Still AMAZING to hear!!!

[@ByronBennett]

And the drums...not sure if they were live or not, but they were perfect

[@IAmSpeaking4MySelf]

WHO IS THIS MAN! JUST WOW! Steve Perry, Steven Tyler and Jon Bon Jovi all wrapped up into one powerhouse of a male singer!

[@janeharmer-o2k]

I agree !!! What an incredible talent !!!!❤

[@o.laflaf]

WTF😂😂😂

[@Rhmcmlxii2]

Sweden idol winner!

[@82islandguy]

Former lead singer of skid row but he had to drop the lead vocalist because of his battle with leukemia but definitely won't be the end he'll be rejoining again

[@mmccune6220]

Wondering same thing!! How F Delightful!! Damn

[@michaelturner295]

Erik has become my absolute favorite vocalist. He had me shocked when I saw Skid Row in Dayton, Ohio in 2022. Went back and saw them again in 2023. What impresses me most is his professionalism, he puts the music first. He showed no signs of intoxication, he nailed all the big notes. I'm old, I remember when that band was brand new, and he allowed me to relive my youth with one of my favorite bands. Thank you Erik. Keep it up my friend.

[@allisoncampbell1631]

I saw Skid row in Vegas in 2022 when they were opening for Scorpions..he honestly sounded just like Sebastian did 30 years ago

[@12leavu]

My sister just passed away from cancer, she showed me this video before she died, it has a significant meaning to me. I have became a big fan of Erik. Thank you

I am so sorry for your loss! 🙏🏻🖤

[@12leavu]

Thank you. This really made my day. She turned me On to your music and was a big fan. She was a wonderful singer. We did karaoke at my house all the time in the past couple years and we would always watch your videos in between. 😎

[@julieperez1778]

Amazing Voice 😱👏😘

[@johnstayer233]

Sorry about your loss....❤

[@dorothywestcott2408]

I am so sorry for your loss 😢🙏

[@pamela9931]

I grew up on Journey and when I heard this cover I was like OMG gave me chills. This song for me has a lot of memories

[@MaryHayden-y2s]

This voice brought back my love for music! He is unbelievably talented!

[@oscarjetson128]

As a kid, I grew up with Steve Perry and Journey... still my favourite band. You did this song justice!

Thank you Oscar!

[@billray6557]

This kid crushed it…great job!

[@Bob-kq1hw]

@ Great guitar work as well!!!!

[@kingcarlobossio7067]

This guy really doesn't know how to sing huh! I'm addicted! Sounds better than all the originals and I'm not even kidding! How can you beat Steve, Bruce, Paul, Dio, Priest etc etc! Just incredible.... WOW!!!!

[@roseannamanues2111]

​@@kingcarlobossio7067Should try Don't Know What You Got Until It's Gone or Heartbreak station.

[@SheSheLuvsMakeup]

Journey is that iconic band that is hard to hear someone else sing and do their songs justice, but you completely nailed it!! Love this! ❤

[@judithriggs9380]

I agree with you 100%

[@crazyfunny1056]

Listen to Deen Castronovo who played drums with Journey, he truly sounds like Perry.

[@cshorca1125]

I appreciate that he kept the entire song like the original.

[@SueJames-m5j]

💯

[@Swt4U68]

12/4/23 WOW you are AMAZING LOVE LOVE this song and you would make Steve Perry and Arnel proud THIS song means so much

Thank you for saying that.

[@TheMaiamay]

One of my all time favorite songs of my 40 years loving rockNroll, AND rockballads at the very center of it all ❣️ I adore Steve - and you do him justice 🎵❣️

[@vinniev451]

Bro, you killed it, OMG

[@billwlezien8859]

Erik, I have seen Steve Perry perform this live and I can say you have just graced the world with an amazing cover of one of the greatest singers and songs of my lifetime!!!!!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for saying that!

[@DaveyPOfficial]

@well done please do Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey

[@berniesmusic]

Wow!!!!!! Your vocals are just mind blowing insane. Steve would feel the same way too!

[@nofilter.906]

It's all PRODUCED YOU IDIOTS.......OVER PRODUCED ACTUALLY.

[@LizHoppis-dk1ii]

Totally agree! I saw Steve Perry with Journey twice - and this is actually the first time l have heard a cover that l love! Excellent job

[@4ukindnesss]

I am 73 years old and Thank God I am still open-minded to appreciate your awesome voice. Thank you Erik.

[@marac5775]

His vocal technique is amazing !!! Many singers lost their range nearly 50 years old. This guy will sing the same in his 90’s

[@laurazimmerman9099]

I hope he lives a rich, full life.

[@colinfulcher3001]

Now this is what is missing from today’s voice. Pure and raw classic tones that will always stay in our heads to play and play again. Beautiful!! 🎶

[@tori1766]

Amen brother. Beautifully said

[@rodneyerickson9252]

My god. So talented! Just happened across him today. Vocal BEAST

[@khiladiincorporated6286]

The last 30 seconds of this song is arguably the greatest 30 seconds in ballad history and you did that last belt with justice 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GordonA-Jr]

Agreed, while I doubt anyone could top Steve, this is about as close as it gets, absolutely incredible ❤

[@mattainsworth4207]

Holy effing shit. I heard Perry do this live in Anchorage, Alaska at Journey's last official performance as a band. It was a performance and a memory I'll carry with me for the rest of my life....this version is the only thing I've ever heard that comes close. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL job.

[@markcole6475]

This guy and Dan Vasc are the only 2 that give me chills other than Steve Perry!

[@TerryARodgers]

I'm sure there a people out there that can hit these notes like Steve Perry did, but Erik is the first one I've heard do it. Simply amazing.

[@enikolaszlo9633]

Wow......!🔥💥 Thank God that you can be here with us and sing with your brilliant voice Erik.❤️

[@jrichards203]

Erik is one of the best singers around today without doubt.

[@glo7802]

Yes❤

Wow, thanks!

[@TC-bh3bi]

So damn good! Brings back so many good memories too.

[@donnamcintyre8213]

This is so beautiful ❤❤❤ You 🔨it 🎤👏👏👏

[@Slinginghotlead007]

Great job man. First time hearing you sing. Steve’s voice was both edgy and powerfully beautiful. Well done capturing both sides.

[@nmfogey]

Ditto

[@danielfair4675]

Listen to his version of Black Sabbath's Headless Cross, it's killer!!

Thank you!!

[@davidagar5980]

Pure Magic....

[@DebbieRye]

Wow!!!! Did this song proud!!!!❤

[@kevincosgrove948]

I saw Buckcherry and Skid Row in Summer 2023 in NC. I never saw Skid Row before but i tell you this: Eric Gronwall put on the single best vocal performance I’ve ever seen live. He can do harder, cutting edge, and soft melody singing-does it all. I looked around in the crowd and there were guys in the audience with their mouths open and also looking around. NO lie

🤘🏻🙏🏻

[@kevincosgrove948]

@ Erik? Is this actually you?

[@annas1970]

​@@kevincosgrove948Promise, thats him😀😀.. It is a humble guy who reply things he really likes💪💪. Take care from Sweden

[@JeffreyHowell-w6k]

He not good as Sebastián

[@JeffreyHowell-w6k]

​@@kevincosgrove948I'm sure

[@beckiramsey9561]

OMG! This is my favorite Journey song and I had a tears in my eyes😢, this is so freaking amazing and beautiful! Keep giving the world that voice we need it!🎶🎵🔥❤️ Music makes the 🌎 go round!❤❤

[@brianharder7714]

It's always a bold move by any singer to take on one of the most powerful rock ballads ever written and sing it true to the original. So many hard core Journey fans will come for blood. But this was really great. Those big notes and soaring crescendos were spot on. I love your vibrato early in the song. Nice touch.

[@vickiesanderson2068]

This Steve Perry fan loved this rendition of this song. It'll make Steve proud. You have little faith in Steve's Fans. We know for a fact he'd be proud. Don't underestimate his fans my friend

Thank you very much!

[@candibellotti4144]

I'm enjoying it. I myself hate the current singer. He doesn't have the power needed for many of the original songs. I've never heard of Erik before he popped up in my suggestions this morning, but I could get onboard with him as the new frontman.

[@sakitoby1581]

I'm a hardcore Journey fan and I enjoyed his cover. Obvi his voice is much different, but he did it justice. I really liked the way he stayed true to the orig melody and phrasing. I do NOT like when others deviate from an iconic song like this. I'm ok w/some songs being changed up a little, but not this one.

[@sakitoby1581]

@@candibellotti4144 I've seen Arnie live w/Journey a few times and I've thought it was ok. Tbh very few vocalists then or now have the power that Steve Perry had. The man was in a league all his own. But Arnie is better than the guy from Extreme that fronted Journey for a bit in the 90s. Saw them too and I prefer Arnie, if I can't have Steve, which sadly will never happen...

[@John.Skelton]

DUDE, I HOPE I GET TO SEE YOU IN CONCERT ONE DAY! YOU HAVE THE GREATEST VOICE FOR ALL THESE COVERS! 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻

[@casaugustine]

Talk about giving one CHILLS…unbelievable …Sing it Erik ❤️

Man, I could listen to you sing the phonebook. Your voice is spectacular no matter what you are doing. Absolutely amazing!

[@anniemalmsttom7720]

Beautiful job Erik❤❤❤

[@ricktravers6364]

This man can sing anything.

[@KirbyJonas-y4b]

HOLY FREAK!!!!!! I'm not even sure why I decided to listen to this tonight. I mean, it's not like you really need anybody but Journey, right? Man!!! Brother, I can't begin to tell you how great this was. Steve Perry would be darn proud of the job you did!

Thank you sir!

This was absolutely beautiful. Thank you!

[@dwellerofthedark]

Having been at several Journey concerts when Steve Perry unleashed his God-like gift in New Orleans, I have to say Erik you have the same vocal gift my friend. The band did a great job too. Neil Schon's a hard act to follow on guitar.

[@travelingpatti2834]

Damn guy! You even nailed Steve Perry! Ty it’s not easy. Just discovered your amazing voice this morning and am now down the rabbit hole. Unimaginable talent you have.

[@janowens2212]

Beautiful.🎉🌹😇💯❤️🤙The first time I heard his voice I was hooked.

This could easily be used as Eriks audition to be the next singer for Journey

[@CelsoAlves]

I Loved it too... Arnel is perfect for Journey and any other band just like Erik is perfect for Skid Row, Journey and any other band!!! s2

[@mehmetvardar6747]

I am not agree with u beause Eriks voice so hard for journey.not emotional like arnel or Steve Perry

[@jim6025]

I agree but then again I think that with every bands song Erik sings.

[@davis3038]

Outstanding! I'm a long time Journey and Perry fan. I played this song 100's of times and have heard Perry perform live six times. I've never heard a better rendition that had the vocal range, tone, or emotion until this one. I hope @steveperry has an opportunity to hear this, I'm thinking he would be a big fan!

Wow, thank you so much!

[@booberry6715]

While I'm not as big a Perry or Journey fan as @davis3038 is, I'm 53 and grew up listening to Journey, and I have to agree with everything she said. I believe Steve would love it. I know I did! Very talented.

[@jiggergazajigsrock71]

Nice voice

[@sportsygirl8]

I'm a Journey fan as well and never seen them in concert before, but would LOVE to! Erik does this song so well!!! I love it. Another cover of a Journey song that came out this year and sounds amazing! Daughtry covered Separate Ways (World's Apart) with Lizzy Hale and they did an amazing job on it!!! Separate Ways (World's Apart) is my most favorite song.

[@cmcd3174]

You are so right ! ❤

[@erikvaldur3334]

I grew up listening to Journey and Skid Row. Sebastián and Steve are probably my two most favorite singers. They are also arguably two of the most difficult voices to cover from that generation. I tip my hat to you. Great job. Ya got some pipes man. Ha, it's nice to see you spell your first name correctly too. 😁

It's not about "Hitting the notes" brother, it's about knowing why that note exists in this song, for _this_ word. You are getting closer. God bless you. 🙏 Better every day.

[@MearasRex]

Lovely remark 😊❤

[@amyfionna]

It would be hard to know that when you’re doing a cover. You’re saying he should understand the absolute soul of the song. I don’t believe that’s possible unless you wrote it yourself. Not possible for anyone. He performed the song beautifully. Personally, I think your condescending comment was ridiculous. But, hey…opinions ARE like assholes, pal.

[@juliemosher6404]

You have proven, at least to me, that you can sing anything wonderfully.

Have you heard the cover by Mark torein of bullet boys?

[@mabeltimas1254]

Yes his voice is high but no style..

[@kingnorlen]

Listen to Robin McAuley (MSG) version, this version is based of that one more than the original Journey one.

[@MrBertWayne]

Sounds EXACTLY like Steve... HARLDY his OWN style.
