Journey Live Interview BBC Breakfast TV 3 JUNE 2011

[@farber2]

I was in the Philippines, while in the navy, and there were a lot of great cover bands in town, not surprised by this.

[@jonpyle3727]

At the time of this interview--it was June 2011>> FAST FORWARD>> 11 years after this interview-- Arnel Pineda is doing incredibly well as frontman for Journey--Amazing isn't it--- what a dedication to the band and vocal control that he has singing tenor Journeysongs that are difficult to do on LIVE Concert--NOT STDIO,.BUT LIVE TOUR Concerts !! Congratulation to Arnel for his 15th year as frontman ( 2007--2022 and counting !!! )

[@stephspeaks7459]

I grew up listening to Journey since I was about 9 or 10. Was upset when Steve "CHOSE" to leave the band. Heard about this Arnel guy, watched a bunch of videos with him, read up on him and his story and he is amazing!!!!! Much more talented overall that Steve Perry. Has an amazing stage presence and performance which Steve lacked. Arnel gave Journey new life. I couldn't be happier for them!! Can't wait to see Arnel and Journey in Illinois this summer!!

[@ConsueloPusins]

Thanks for speaking the truth...Steve Perry was an amazing singer in his prime but this is NOW and we would like to continue listening to new Journey songs..!

[@valeriehambly4180]

steph speaks HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA Thanks to the genius of Steve Perry's writing and the attempt at impersonating his EVERY vocal choice.....Arnel the CLOWN is no longer eating out of a trash dumpster in a 3rd world country....I would love to hear sombody give the guy a compliment without trashing the diamond of a man who CREATED IT. F#ck off girl.

A group wants to move on... They did... It will never going to be the same, you just have to live with it... Arnel will never going to be Steve...NEVER... But this guy Arnel actually gave the group a chance to perform again, to let the younger fans enjoy the band and to some old fans that still like to listen to them live...

[@babymagno544]

Steve Perry can never match Arnel Pineda's powerful Voice. Arnel Pineda is the best, that's why AP Journey's vocalist for 15 years because he's better vocalist than SP.

[@melvacalizo6077]

Arnel will never "be going" to be Steve, right because Arnel is Arnel Pineda who held and continue to hold together the group of the "big boys" that was starting to disintegrate. And thanks to him, they are still there rocking and rolling at the top!!

[@wallypagayanan4555]

Well said bro❤❤

[@rosemariejuan977]

​@@babymagno544yes right

[@angelamiller2577]

Never realized how hot Arnel is.

Hell yeah he is! Love his short hair, but his long hair made him sexier. Would love to see him grow it long again. We shall see...

[@Delon81116]

Untill now😊

[@edithaperez5654]

Salute!!!you Arnel💛💚💙

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

People also need to realize, if Steve Perry came back now, his voice has changed (natrually, it has been 30 years). You STILL wouldn't really get the Journey from the 80s. All good things must end.

[@glendirienzo1365]

2K16 thats BS.

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

Glen DiRienzo No, it's not. Have you heard his voice recently? He can't hit the same high register anymore. They would have to play everything in a lower key for him now and everyone would be complaining that the songs don't sound the same. Best to remember Journey at their peak.

[@glendirienzo1365]

Im fully aware of it. People would have to understand that he can't sing like he used to 30 years ago. I've been watching Steve's performance with the Eels in LA. Might not have his upper register notes but, has everything else. Like i said before, if he ever got back with Journey. Box office records will be broken. I put big money on it.

[@deepbluesea8163]

VCR Time Machine what are you going on about?! Arnel has been singing Journey songs in a lower key since 2012. No logic in your argument. Steve Perry sings higher notes than Arnel in his new album. He does all the soaring background vocals.

[@oops541]

People let just be honest. The only talent this Lil 5 ft. man (Arnel) has is impersonating, imitating and singing all STEVE PERRY old hits songs. 🤣😆🤣🤣This little man will NEVER be a TRUE multi-talented (The voice/Hits songs writer) as Steve Perry or Mariah Carey in his lifetime. I'm just going to keep it real. This is why we NEVER heard Arenl's original hits song playing on the radio or any new material on KZbin.

[@katey_yt6339]

Arnel was so blessed to have new fathers (like neal and cain), and they're taking care of their son.

[@YYC403NOYP]

Thank you NOEL GOMEZ for posting Arnel's gigs at Hard Rock Manila many years ago for sensing that something is special about "THIS" dude, even though after, your channel was banned by You Tube 😛🤡😜🤩

[@healhands5760]

Yes thanks to this #1 fan of Arnel thats why he got discovered via youtube.

[@sunsetblvd3674]

Wow people!!!! A lot of haters on here!!! Journey dont pay your bills...give this dude a break

[@Thursday_The_12th]

The interviewer called him a young man when I think Arnel is older than him in this video. I think not too sure

[@neriashleycabajar1985]

The band is heading to Lollapalooza stadium to perform in Brazil this year!

[@jonardlumbres9556]

love u idol a.p

[@Ba2gun1]

Hey, don't u guys love Arnel's new hair style ? Wow !! the best Vice Ganda imitation ever.

[@imUrChef]

they should blame on the person who called arnel to join the band...its not arnel's fault....u got that?

[@creativegurl3576]

I know all these comments are grown ups but I’m not. I am an 11 year old who is obsessed with journey and I love watching their old videos but my favorite is Neal Schon. And it truly stabs my heart that he got plastic surgery I really liked his old smile and it will never be the same. It’s just sad

[@johnmcque4813]

If there's a possibility to get him and Perry on stage. See if anyone can tell who is actually singing.

[@jalexalaine3201]

Neil doesn't look like himself anymore. Why tamper with what wasn't bad in the first place? Still love his hair, though.

[@joeohhboy6035]

Arnel is phenomenal, But remember his job is to mimic an original.Do you think for one second, he wasn't hired cause he sounded just like Steve Perry?

[@iamjoy]

He never mimic the original.. if only you listen his voice from his very young age till now that he became old,you can say its his real voice.. his voice didn't change.

[@reignheart6790]

I would be very happy if they can perform or do a concert forever. I’m lucky to witness such a great band at this age and generation.

[@jingballesteros9273]

Proud filipino here...😉 good job arnel we love u muaah

[@ladiesman753951]

If you listen to the voice of steve, he is not the same

[@maryannsullivan7724]

Obviously not the same. But the tenor of his voice reminds people of when they loved those songs. That in itself is what fans yearned for in previous singer replacements.

[@123goldenbaby]

[@Cflgradwyt]

god...and he is funny man too❤so good man❤🤘😙

[@joegambino9792]

Over there rockin' those red coat cousins

[@tirangtira]

Yes, I agree with Ba2gun1. Arnel looks fresh and rather youthful !

[@salozmen29]

One drop of blood. You know this.

[@straightcleaner]

I think Steve Perrys great. But Im glad Journey didnt stop the dream for the fans that love the music. On the side I hope Steve Perry finds peace with his future in whatever it is. For Lou Gramm of Foreigner, he continued singing. Maybe Steves still sick of the music business, depressed or just has other interests nowadays.?

[@salozmen29]

Keep on telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.

[@epicthunder12]

Ok im lost what happened to Perry?

[@matthalo89]

Anybody who says Arnel is better than Steve perry needs to be thrown under a bus with Steve driving his true fans to see him perform.

[@renz4695]

Steve is great and phenominal. Arnel is amazing and awesome and more talented....no one can disagree with reality....

[@gluchnurse]

Well, sounds like another subtle jibe at Perry. 'some members in the 1980's didn't want to come'. In the Swedish interview awhile back they specifically said Perry. Valory doesn't have kids, so unless it was Steve Smith who didn't want to come, it is back to digs at SP. Can't they let this crap go? Perry consistently is classy in public interviews about them. Either says nothing, or wishes them well. Wish they would do the same.

[@holygoldendoodles]

What gets me is all these Perry fans who are still hanging on to him. He simply cannot sing the material anymore. I take care of an elderly lady his age and she wears diapers and uses a Cane for god sakes. Steve Augeri or however you say his name was there for years after Perry left and he is on a video where he came to meet Arnel in his dressing room. He was so nice to Arnel.mPerry left his fans high and dry. Journey didn't do anything to keep him from playing yet you blame them? I have a brand new appreciation for Jon and Neal because they still play even though all you haters spend time watching their interviews bashing and hating. Try love. Try accepting like you would want to be if it were you. Wow

I hate how Neal said "I thought 'this is it, this is the voice.'" Arnel is not the voice. Steve is The Voice.

[@dragonfly6217]

Steve Perry is the ex-voice because he chose" to leave the band and Arnel is the present voice that saved Journey, that's the fact.

[@babymagno544]

Arnel Pineda is the best . Steve Perry can't reach VERY high notes like Arnel.

[@blackrider_19]

@@babymagno544 yes thumbs up on this

[@CalebMichaelWhite]

Dude, Neal does look like Paul stanley

[@gluchnurse]

@1984jee Arnel is a very handsome man. Nothing wrong with his haircut. Schon does look like he botoxed himself a bit too much or something, and I think Cain would have been better off not dying his eyebrows so dark. But, even though I have zero desire to ever see them without Perry, I have to respect their desire to still make music, even though the new music that isn't selling per Billboard. And Arnel could be a tremendous success without them. Just hope they don't tour his voice to death.

[@CusterFlux]

Neil "Shawn", well … that settles that.

[@anikanskywalker1]

of course the like his voice , because hi sound like STEVE PERRY...

[@Catherineslove]

I guess the new Journey fans can't understand why the old fans get upset to what the band did to Steve. I was around when they were still huge and if you did not get to experience it, then I can understand. But if you knew the whole story you would know that Journey was going NOWHERE until they got Steve. HE made the group. WITHOUT Steve they would still be nothing. Do better research..so much out there. you can tell by interviews that they back stabbed Steve. so sad. no one can replace him. you can't replace a legend.

[@borborygmus5641]

Ok, so they give this lad the shot of a life time and they'er pricks? I've meet them and can tell you that they are genuinely decent people, and did you know that they split their profits equally, yes the lad is a full partner. Oh, and Arnel was vetted by Steve too don't you know.

[@Catherineslove]

Steve is a nice guy.. he didnt have to do it at all.. i actually like Arnel so dont get your panties in a roar.. har har.. i like Steve Perry better then any person they ever got.. other then that, they are a cover band. later

[@borborygmus5641]

Catherine Beavers I don't wear those tight little panties and I don't think Steve does or did either which is what may be so amazing about his vocal abilities. Anyhow I'm not going to spend time searching on this topic so why don't you offer one good example of how they screwed Steve. Also, I do agree, Steve was irreplaceable, and I do enjoy this new lad. And, oh yeah, I do remember the media putting out a rumor of Steve having AIDS back in the day but to think these guys would've intentionally done that... no way.

[@Catherineslove]

ok.. one example is Steve had to have hip surgery and he did not want to rush it and they told him either get the hip surgery or we go on without you.. they could not even wait for their LEADING band member to get better.. it all comes down to the money. its all good though. i am sure they all did some bad things to each other.. time to move on :) i just like Steve better is all..

[@borborygmus5641]

Catherine Beavers Hip surgery sounds like bad timing all around though I agree Steve is most authentic.

@@iankirkcatadman6119 Of course it’s versatile ,he’s right up there with Buddy Rich and Frank Gorshan (impersonators) He can sound like BonnJovi + other band lead singers.
