Journey - Open Arms Live 2006 Deen Castronovo

During the 2006 and 2007 tours with Jeff Scott Soto, Deen usually sang Open Arms and Faithfully.

[@1SIK335]

One of the very few guys in the world who actually pulls off a great rendition of Steve.

[@texastank9413]

Deen IS the vocalist Journey needs.

[@jebert34]

100%. Saw them August ‘24 and Deen was by far the superior vocalist and should be their primary vocalist. Arnel was ok but sounded weak, sloppy, and didn’t have control. Deen totally outshined him.

[@DirectCurrent4u]

Deen Castronovo is one of the Best Drummer / Vocalist of all times! God Bless You Deen...

[@irish_soul4043]

Absolutely!

[@irish_soul4043]

Phenomenal drummer. His work with polish metal band Wild Dogs showed his amazing skills...

[@sabinerothdiener2562]

Yes, and then Roger Taylor and Phil Collins.

[@osakajinomoshiroi]

And Tony Macalpine, CD Premonition

[@pegaso3terminator75]

An institution itself, I love his drumming but his voice is unbelievable, love you Deen!!

[@nicolaslegrand9414]

To be able to sit down, diaphragm compacted, deliver such a perfect tone and play drums. The guy is unbelievable!

[@timetowakeup6302]

Agreed

[@limpfinger12]

Drummers singing deserve more credit. Compressed diaphragm being seated, being able to hold a note while physically bouncing all over the place has got to be challenging

[@llncivitello58]

I agree! And both legs are on bass as well as his arms going at the same time. Don't know hiw he does it, but I love it!

[@jaykroska3845]

To me it seems easier to sing while drumming

[@cb24203]

@@jaykroska3845 Guitar and drums are the easiest to sing and play together for me. Bass is where it gets harder because I’m usually playing something to counter the melody.

[@PeachWNK]

@@jaykroska3845 Solely based on meter? Sure. Breath support and sustain? Not easier at all. It’s like singing while running a marathon.

[@HesTNTonPMS]

I'm callin straight bullshit , not a chance in hell this dude is pulling this off without a lot of help , I'll leave it at that !

[@bobrathunde8559]

Deen does not get the credit he deserves for his talent.....it's way over the top talent!

[@rjayfernandez4089]

Stop comparing them, they're both amazing and they're both in journey, there's no need to compare, just say "I love journey becoz they have Steve, Arnel, and deen.". My Goodness! People!

[@texaszygote7956]

I know this is a video about Deen but good grief can we not admit Jonathan Cain is one of the greatest pianist of all times? Dude is solid gold.

[@BryanK.Inscoe-ig9fi]

I would love to see Dean as lead singer I would have no problem filling in as their Drummer!🤘🎙🥁

[@teresabutler1989]

Love Deen's voice! Can't believe how much he is blessed! Awesome drummer & can sing , not just sing but that guy CAN SING!

[@nickr5759]

Deen sounds like the old journey I love! If I can’t see Steve again then hands down Deen will check that box! Deen is freaking amazing!

[@dasRot2011]

I´m a Drummer, and Deen was always one of my North. Since those all times where I used to see the HighPerformance Drumming VHS, Cacophony and Marty´s Friedman albums. And he also Sing like a fucking damm pro singer. Good bless you Deen !!!!!!

[@calbreckenridge8526]

A beast on the skins

[@shotgun4257]

As much as I love Steve Perry and always will, Deen delivered perhaps the best performances ever on Faithfully and Open Arms

[@stumeister5507]

100%

[@plsavage]

Not quite...but pretty damn close

[@georgebradshaw6381]

Castronovo is a beast on the drums and a wonderful singer he kills it every time

[@timetowakeup6302]

After Steve he’s the best Journey singer in my book

[@EnvixityXx363]

He sounds amazing!! Wow! Didn't even miss a tone while playing the drums! Truly gifted artist

[@sabinerothdiener2562]

Wow, this is amazing 😍 I'm just stunned. I never heard Deen singing before.

[@Boxingshorts234]

Nice

[@steverodenbaugh6883]

Check out his band Revolution Saints. Unbelievable

[@dwdrum11]

Look up journey through time videos, thank me later

[@timetowakeup6302]

Deen is absolute brilliant

What a Monster Vocalist Deen Castronovo

[@rokker101]

incredible drummer and vocalist! ...bloody awesome!

[@ro7242]

THIS SINGER REALLY BRINGS NEW LIFE TO JOURNEYS BEAUTIFUL SONGS WOW RECORD THIS SINGER,NOT RECORDING DEENS VOICE WOULD BE TRAGIC,FANS DESERVE THIS

[@tryxie2018]

Lying beside you here in the dark Feeling your heartbeat with mine Softly you whisper, you're so sincere How could our love be so blind? We sailed on together and drifted apart And here you are, by my side So now I come to you with open arms Nothing to hide, believe what I say So here I am with open arms Hoping you'll see what your love means to me Open arms Living without you, living alone This empty house seems so cold Wanting to hold you, wanting you near How much I wanted you home But now that you've come back, turned night into day I need you to stay So now I come to you with open arms Nothing to hide, believe what I say So here I am with open arms Hoping you'll see what your love means to me Open arms, oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[@salthedrummer1]

Get Deen back in Journey!

[@sajapastor768]

Yeesss bring back

[@SJ-ty5rw]

They should have stuck with the Journey in time lineup , with Deen on Vocals

[@salthedrummer1]

They did asked him but he declined, Deen was committed to his band that had just did a record and they were gonna go out on tour besides I don't think he wanted to go back to the drama? maybe?

[@curtarthur5366]

@Justin Gittings he's under contract with the Dead Daisies sadly

[@myway148]

He is with Neal and Greg Rollie. Search Journey Through time Exclusive. He is awesome !

[@junejune5797]

Too difficult to perform like that, you're the man! Best drummer and performer.. From Philippines with love..

[@chadlong9614]

I miss Steve Perry, but Deen Castronovo is by far the best vocalist that has tried to fill his shoes. The should get Steve Smith back on drums and put Deen in the spotlight

[@fridz66]

Deen has stated a few times that he does not want to be a frontman and would like to stay behind the drums. It’s true though that he would be the perfect Journey singer next to SP, vocal wise, if he’d even try.

[@chadlong9614]

@@fridz66 keep him on drums and singing if he can do a full set, I’d be happy with it

[@markgaitan9962]

I agree, his the best replacement for steve perry's voice..but come on dude, being a frontman is not only having a spectacular voice..you need also a charisma to audience and vocal stamina..he really respect and amazed what arnel does in the stage..why you guys always looking that is not there, still living in the past and why not appreciate and enjoy the present..

[@markgaitan9962]

​@@chadlong9614 it's quite boring dude , ..no movements in the stage, no audience contact..the fans will miss the frontman having fun with them ..journey doesnt's work that way, it's not their style..maybe in other bands, it will work..

[@RicardoMarlowFlamenco]

Deceptively difficult song to sing. Been slowing down the speed to get the details of various versions including several of Perry live....turns out this guy right here is by far the best, most natural controlled and precise compared to all other versions.

[@edmilewski5272]

Yes and while sitting and playing drums... unreal....

[@llncivitello58]

Hands down, Deen is the best. And as noted by others, he does it effortlessly while sitting & moving all around the drum kit!

Better than Perry, or best of the other versions besides Perry? NO ONE can out do Perry at his prime.

Deen is solid drummer and vocalist! As with anything, liking a drummer and their playing style is a personal preference. Deen is a punchy physical drummer. As far as his vocals go, Deen’s style, tone and range are impressive. If you want to see more of Deen’s impressive drumming and vocal talent, check out Neal Schon’s “Journey Through Time” videos.
