[@WyBrian]

This situation puts a smile on my face. i have been a die-hard Journey fan for 25 years. This is the right guy for the job. I know Neal and Company never take this matter lightly as they posted on the web site. Arnel has the vocal instrument to do these great songs justice. He has the soul, the feel, and the charisma to pull it off.

오.. 이 채널 덕분에 저니의 전설이 되었구나 개인적으론 오리지널 보컬보다 지금의 보컬이 좀더 심장을 더 크게 울린다 이 채널에 감사한다

[@philosophicallyspeaking6463]

I've taught singing for years! Arnel has an amazing 'natural' (untrained) voice, whose lack of vocal weakness, mannerism, defect or artifact, both defines and causes it to be...' perfectly' characterless; but that's a good thing. Such is the case with all the great 'young' opera singers too 'before' they discover the...defect of their own...'style' (musical idiosyncrasy), which ultimately wins them a place in the halls of operatic Valhalla, and ultimately a place in the hearts of fans; if not so too music lovers. But not for what they do right, but ostensibly for what they now do wrong. That something wrong of which I speak is in the very nature of particularity and character. Its both good and bad! Before Pavarotti sounded like Pavarotti (when he was still thin...nish), he had the perfect tenor voice; indistinguishable from hundreds of others, except that it was better; it suffered less defect of character, which is where things go both right and wrong if the natural voice isn't up to managing the technical duress it puts on the voice. Arnel's voice is richer, riper, and more controlled and resonant than any of those who did this sound before him, and for that reason alone he should be allowed his space and place in the pantheon of our appreciation. I've been teaching singing for years and you can't teach this, that's why it is so ridiculous that in the documentary 'Don't Stop Believing", Jonathon Cain presumes to school Arnel (possibly only for the cameras) with vocal exercises intended for lesser mortals. And its to Arnel's great credit that he both suffers the slight, and ignores the advice. Natural voices allow the music to speak, without ever getting in the way, because they service the music, instead of trying to overshadow it: a voice in service of music if you will, instead of music in service of a voice. One voice creates great music, the other creates great fan(s)atics, keen to attach themselves to a person. For those of you who are not professional musicians the former is the very definition of 'professional' musicianship while the latter is the very definition of dedicated amateurism. If you wish to understand more about what it means to be talented past people's ability to recognize it, please consider pursuing my discourse of that matter with regards to two other comments posted by me in aid of the same 'greater' appreciation of classical guitarist Julian Bream, kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHqWfGB_p8SAjbc and concert pianist Jerome Rose, kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXmZk3mrbNGUa8k To participate in this level of musical awareness will reward your investment in it a thousand fold.

[@Jan6382]

I just saw him in Oslo, Norway (1 hour ago) and he was awesome. I had no clue who was the present vocalist of Journey. I only knew that it wasn't Steve Perry, although I had heard that the current vocalist sounded much like him. And indeed, he was great. And no, he's not 'just a copy' of Steve Perry. And what a life story he has. Someone should make it into a movie!

Incredible. I'm always amazed listening to Pineda sound like Perry when doing the legacy songs. It's not so much the likeness in timbre (where there can be honest debate), but in Pineda's honest portrayal of emotion and passion. What a stroke of luck for Journey in finding this guy!

[@jgreen3871]

Both Perry and Pineda are tenors, except that Pineda has a warm gritty raspy tone, which becomes evident as he goes up the scale. Most rockstars prefer this as they sound masculine and gritty particularly on high notes. Perry has a high tone like Hitchcock of Air Supply. As they go up, they have this timbre that sounds feminish. Most successful male rock stars prefer this gritty edgy voice, like Steve Tyler, Bryan Adams, Kurt Cobain, Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, to name a few.

[@klarissamagnawa8575]

Yes so true, i prefer Arnel's voice over Steve. I saw on youtube Steve's 1991 concert at Golden gate Park, he was already having problems with his voice. Could not sustain high notes when he was only 41-42 years old at that time, his voice started to deteriorate. While Arnel at 56 now is still rocking with his amazing voice.❤ longevity and sustainability Arnel is way better than Steve. And i like the voice of Arnel better because it's so masculine. Steve's sometimes sounded feminine and his ways were kind of feminine too. Arnel is all masculine with so much charismatic manly appeal.😍

True, not just blind no EYES at all! Other people would say that Arnel P is just lip- syncing while performing BUT as a legendary musician himself, NEIL SCHON of Journey who had been a part of Santana during the early 70's believes that ARNEL PINEDA has been singing/performing LIVE with the band! One thing I heard from an interview w Neil Schon, while watching Arnel Pineda he just said "I have video clips of other vocalists but there is one that is really different from them, he has unique vocals, a tenor voice that can sing with soul and emotions, he has PIPES- I'm sure it's LIVE, it's not some kind of a "doctor".

oh by the way. I love Arnel he is a beautiful person inside and out. He is Journey's new voice. He is truely bless with great talent.. Journey made a good move when they found their new voice......

[@JAYELBEEBEE]

Arnel you make us, all Filipino all over the world proud. You really put the Pinoys back on the map again.

[@12678marvin]

This is the start of Arnel's journey to Journey! History! Thanks to the person who uploaded this video. Because of you Arnel became Journey's new singer.

[@Layered_Sky]

He’s got so much raw talent, charisma and stage presence and a comedian to booth! And you can feel how he sings them all from the heart, he’s compelling to watch. I’d have loved to be inside Schon’s head when he first came across these and then Cain’s and the rest of the band members head when they were watching these videos back then.

[@dennis-rk8zn]

did you guys notice that his back-up band is also great? almost sounds like real journey band

[@imboglitz2400]

kudos to the zoo band too

[@AcousticAdd1ct]

Lol they can replace the band members of journey too hahahahaha

[@terrypussypower]

@@AcousticAdd1ct Wouldn't it be funny if, one by one, they each got a gig with Journey to replace the aging members!!

wow, he got 100 tips for this song, now he's big time.A good memory of the past. Another success story of the new era in the digital world, it's inspiring to all OFW and pinoy workers around the globe.

[@jaypi3647]

Of course. Steve Perry, Robert Plant, Steve Tyler, Axl Rose, Byran Adams, Sting, Jimi Jamison, Russel Hitchcock, and all singers whose songs were sung by Arnel and sounding like each and every one of them, are all heroes of Arnel Pineda.

[@jeepscott67]

This guy has a real gift. The entire band plays great together. I wish Arnel the best of luck. This coming from Baltimore Maryland.

[@carmelitadavison7929]

[@joyfulmangitit1466]

A guy with THE voice...a professional singer here but never been schooled by professionals or have been to a formal school for vocals...he didn't have to....if i need to add/say more, let me end my comment by referring you readers to please read Karen Anne's comment in here

[@jahzorn]

But after listening to your captivating vocals, I knew at once that a STAR IS BORN. Contemptuous rudeness, gross insensitivity, offensive remarks, etc. will come upon you but be strong, stay firm and remain humble and leave it to the Lord for he is JUST. For all HATERS out there, an epoch of age has been UNLEASHED -- ARNEL PINEDA will catapult JOURNEY to stardom, AGAIN. Show them what you are made of brotha' -- You make us Filipinos proud -- Rock n' Roll Baby ... GOD BLESS - jähzôrn

[@DLunacy78]

wow you guys are all a bunch of cry baby asshats! FFS to all the people hating on arnel dont sit there and say you wouldnt have taken the deal if it was you... and to all the steve perry die hards calm the fuck down, hes done singing if the band wants to continue they dont need his fucking permission... AP is doing fine i actually like him as much as SP. The biggest thing you guys are missing is this dude was granted a miracle out of no where by neil, i think its a awesome story and makes me like him more. god bless arnel! haters gona hate! rock on!

[@loosilu]
