The new look Journey lineup performs Wheel In The Sky (with a killer extended instrumental jam) at their special Lollapalooza aftershow at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, IL. 7/29/2021

Deen and Arnel are awesome they make music together we love to hear from you both

[@jonpyle3727]

After seeing Journey on LIVE Tour Concert - the first time-- I suddenly became an AP Fan..haha. Since then, I have seen many Concerts of Journey.!! AP got that tenor perfect pitch vocals that show more raspiness when he sings ballads --full of emotions and soul and when he sings rock songs, he commands the stage with his presence- the whole crowd rocks too !! AP is amazing !! What an incredible performance each time. Can't wait to see Journey Concert again soon, in Florida! Congrats AP for his 15th year as frontman for Journey, this year, 2022 !! Journey rocks !!

Happy Journey is doing concerts again. You guys are the real Trailblazers, not only coz you have Arnel for a lead singer, but also because you have multiple instruments, which many bands do not. You really show the world what a true band should be! God willing, I pray you guys have more decades together.

Awesome cover band Saw original in 77 and 80. Perry put them over the top of the stratosphere.

[@LateOctober]

thank you sir for hating on "journey cover band" keep on hating :) needs a healthy balance of hate and support. because it helps people remember their awesome songs. but i think the band called escape is more suited to play fully packed venues than this cover band. Have you seen AP with the long hair trying to copy SP, so cringe'ish

[@jasonburger3533]

Steve Perry was the voice of Journey over many years. He is 71 years old. It would be interesting for him to do these songs currently. Journey has been jamming since 1972. Arnel Pineda has been with them since 2007. They are a 49-year-old band with Neil Schon as the only original member. I think they are still in the game. This "Wheel In The Sky" itself dates to 1976, 45 years ago. They still have what it takes.

sorry for you too becoz until now u cannot admit that Arnel is the lead Voice of the current band JOURNEY. move on and enjoy ur music. it seems that u forget that in his own tounge Steve Perry loves Arnel very much! pitty on u girl.

[@jasonburger3533]

@@hcavill8144 I am aware that Steve Perry had given himself to the band Journey. I know they divide their singing up between those you mention, but early comparisons were made in 2007 and 2008 by music critics about Arnel Pineda sounding like Steve Perry. Steve Perry, I agree, had been the heart and soul of Journey. He was/is one of a kind.

I pretty sure the new bassist toured with then in 86. But they never showed him the decency to add his picture with the band back then. I love Journey but they have a bad habit of disrespecting the amazing people who covered when everything went wrong. When I saw them in 06 Jeff Scott Soto took over lead vocals for the tour. He wasn't a perfect fight like Arnel granted. But his passion and delivery made them feel fresh and new instead of living off their past.
