Arnel is amazing. I have been a Journey fan for years and loved Steve Perry's voice. However is every bit as good as Steve was. Arnel's personality and life story are touching. From the streets to stardom. I'm glad...he deserves it. Great voice Arnel!!!
Wow, 2021 and Arnel is still as humble and joyful as he was over a decade ago. This performance was amazing! Thank you overlords of the universe for bringing Journey and Arnel together!
Oh get over it tribute band they wanted to continue being journey and Steve did not want to return so they found this not only a great singer but a great inspiration to me to and so many others around the world and I have been through a lot of hard times but I live by these words I am a singer too so thank you Journey for the song and thank you arnel DON'T STOP BELIEVING
***** this guy has been given a gift. A gift that inspires many around the world. I wish I could sing half as good as he can in church on Sunday or any day. good post and good luck dude.
The other members of THE ACTUAL BAND think he's a perfect fit and really love his voice, so what's so wrong with Arnel being the new lead singer? It sounds almost exactly like their golden days, so to me there's DEFINATELY Journey even without Steve.
Tobias Vänerlöv yes i agree 👍 he is great replacement n he have very diverse vocal skill n range... He could sing like anyone including bonjovi steve perry love Arnel... If Journey don't like him n his voice why would he'd be in the Journey
Who would ever thought after that gigs or a show @Hard Rock Cafe, a star is born to be a lead singer of the most powerful band in the world of entertainment - JOURNEY!
Arnel gives me goosebumps when he sings, he is so versatile and although he replaced SP with Journey...he can at vocal fry like Axel Rose when h sang November rain.
Mr. Arnel Pineda is awesome. When I hear Journey songs on the radio, I could tell when it’s S. Perry or A. Pineda that is singing. Mr. Pineda deserved to be included in the Hard Rock Rock N Roll Hall of Fame!! If it wasn’t for him, the Journey band would not have gotten it, in my opinion. He was “included” but Steve Perry and the rest of the band were the ones that got the credit. Mr. Arnel took the Journey to a whole new level and with Filipinos, like me, around the world, when the Journey did the world tour, the band gained millions more of supporters and fans!!! If it wasn’t for him, Journey would not have gotten the award, in my opinion. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸… Alrighty.. IDC about the haters!!! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼
If haters call Journey a tribute band because there's a lead vocals replacement then they're already a tribute band during Steve Perry. For Steve is a replacent too and isn't the one who originated Journey. Through the years Journey had 42 replacements and 6 of it is from lead vocals.
nostevenojourney will always be a bitter person. he will never accept Arnel. I loved Steve when he was with Journey and now I love Arnel. It's still Journey to me.
Holy crap. This guy is performing in a venue with doubtful acoustics and bringing the house down. It's clear why Journey brought him in to replace Steve Perry. It's uncanny...
When Journey members were perusing TH-cam cover bands in search of a lead singer, maybe the thought came to them that "this Filipino guy" doesn't have the look they wanted. If so, I'm glad they drowned that thought in the bathtub. Steve wrote the songs and made them famous and we all love him but he needs to live his life on his terms. He wasn't an option and Journey had massive shoes to fill. Arnel was an option. I love Steve but because of Arnel, I don't miss Steve. They picked the right guy, maybe a gutsy decision in 2008, it's obvious it's worked now and frankly it seemed obvious then. I love Arnel from the first time i heard him.
NoSteveNo Journey, Arnel once said,hatred begets hatred.. love begets love.. So,what we can do (Arnel fans) is to accept you w/ open arms.. Don't be bitter w/ 'ur life..try to accept the fact that Arnel Rocks!!! Yeah...
From Texas. November 20, 2021. In just a few weeks it will be 14 years since Arnel joined Journey and they are getting ready to go on tour again. Arnel has remained a happy good natured guy who loves to sing and is a wonderful performer. His influence on those he meets and his fans is remarkable. He has certainly influence me in the music I like and the other singers I listed to. If you get a chance to go see Arnel and Journey preform, go. I promise you won’t be disappointed. He deserves every blessing.
Awesome! I'm so happy kids are discovering Journey now. My son asked me to buy him their last album (with Pineda). He knows nothing about the old Journey, no idea there was once a Steve. This is good to show Steve Perry what being an ass leads to. He dissed Journey. Now I bet he would like to be in Arnel's place, touring the world.
Hello Chavezoid! I also just recently discovered Arnel in youtube. So I asked my dad if I could buy a dvd Live in Manila of Journey and he approved it. Then we watched it with my mom (my parents are both Steve Perry fans). They were amazed with Arnel they thought he sounds like SP lol. They could tell the new songs from the old ones and because of that they now love Arnel and they are going with me to Journey’s concert on 3/31/2022 in San Francisco. You are a good mom for supporting you kid. Arnel has been inspiring the new generation with his life story and humble character. God bless Journey! 🙏♥️🎤
@@lagirl1349 wow bless you girl. I'm so glad you discovered Journey and Arnel. Wishing you and your parents great time watching their concerts live this 2022.
hi! :) At the time of the video he was already a member of Journey, he returned to the Philippines for this farewell concert before embarking on a tour with Journey.
This was recorded at a time before the heavy rigors of touring with Journey began deteriorating his voice. It's a shame the world and Arnel weren't prepared for his rise to fame a decade sooner. The world wasn't ready for an Asian S. Perry until the 1st black US prez was elected. Imagine what his voice was like at age 30!
Arnel certainly does a better job as portraying Steve Perry than Obama did as portraying a US President. Don't compare Arnel to Obama and I promise not to compare Steve Perry to Trump or Bush, dipshit.
Without any idea that one day, Neil Schon would find him. God works in mysterious ways. Such an inspiring story. As for my case, I hope to make my own mark too. Life has been unfair to me so much already, my time will come. I don't wanna be in the shadows anymore. I wanna rise on top of the world too in my own way.
It's not Arnel..it's the band Journey that didn't care what the negative..they didn't listen they could lve easily let him go, but didn't.. so I think Journey deserve alot of respect for standing strong with this singer they believe to be their front man.
Once again we have a case of a lead singer's ego breaking up a band. Steve Perry thought that he was bigger then the rest of the band and that they would just wait around for him to say jump and they would say how high. Arnel is extremely talented and happy to be part of one of the best bands to come out of the 70s. I wish the new Journey nothing but the BEST and I can't wait for them to be on tour again.
@@naskirnawas2037 come visit here dude in the Philippines. Arnel Pineda is not alone, you will find many Filipino can sing foreign song's. To see is to believe and it is ordinary here for us to sing foreign songs it was normal lol.
WOW--- No wonder Neal chon and J Cain got so impressed with AP--BUT they also mentioned that they have seen AP's 40 more song doing covers bands.. Good job Arnel--you deserved t be a frontal for Journey--- Bravo
It's the video where he's singing "Faithfully" with the Zoo. But Neil Schon must have seen this also because he watched liked 50 videos of Arnel covering several bands before calling his bandmates.
its cool that he sings with his old band from time to time. he has a great voice and maybe is the best alternate for steve. i grant him this success. appart from personality i still think steve was and is the better singer.
🤣😂 You're right!, But Steve is only good for his own song👍 He is NOT a versatile singer as ARNEL does👍 Arnel can adjust his versatility to any song of famous bands of journey's contemporaries 👍😁 Arnel didn't introduce himself to the band it was the other way around.. and yet, He remains faithful to the band for more than a Decade now, 👍 now,,for that matter Steve is no longer a better singer if you compare their voices now👍😁😊🤣😂🎹🎼🎵🎶🚴🚴🚴
@NoSteveNoPoint Really? Read this from wikipedia & their website "Total concert revenue for Journey in 2008 was $35,695,481". Arnel Pineda and Journey are on a worldwide tour in support of their newest album "ECL1P53". After a ten-city tour in Latin America this spring, the band made 22 stops in Europe. The U.S./Canada run has started and will continue well into October, with more dates continually added. Asia will see Journey thereafter.
Luckily he hasn't changed. He's still a very humble honest and sweet person.
He never did, made me a fan right away
Wow who would’ve thought just years later he would be singing for the actual band. That’s the power of TH-cam
thanks to neil schon for picking up arnel for a gig
Arnel is amazing. I have been a Journey fan for years and loved Steve Perry's voice. However is every bit as good as Steve was. Arnel's personality and life story are touching. From the streets to stardom. I'm glad...he deserves it. Great voice Arnel!!!
Pamela Moorman dont stop beliving match with his lives ✌🏼
Arnel Pineda was already a favorite of US Navy personnel stationed in Subic base before he even played at Hard Rock cafe.
Whatever they say, Arnel Pineda is a distinct Man of his own. He sings, he pleases and most importantly, he INSPIRES people. Admirable kind of guy!
Wow, 2021 and Arnel is still as humble and joyful as he was over a decade ago. This performance was amazing! Thank you overlords of the universe for bringing Journey and Arnel together!
A very humble and nice person. Met him in Puerto Rico. He is pure heart. Such a nice person. Glad he made it to allowed Journey continue the legacy.
"allowed"
@@optimusprime732able fixed. 😂
So this is how the journey found him! Amazing he resembles Steve’s voice the fact that he lifted up journey from being dead
His voice has energy and story in it
To all the arnel pineda HATERS! you just hating cuz he became the lead singer for journey and he has way more money than you.
This band is so incredible. Although they just make covers but look how they play and sing....just amazing.
Oh get over it tribute band they wanted to continue being journey and Steve did not want to return so they found this not only a great singer but a great inspiration to me to and so many others around the world and I have been through a lot of hard times but I live by these words I am a singer too so thank you Journey for the song and thank you arnel DON'T STOP BELIEVING

+A V A N Journey never had a hit without Steve Perry, your argument just doesn't hold water, but Arnel is truly talented.
Arnel is so amazing period. Stay down to earth and humble. Lot of people will always adore you and I am one of those.
And still the lead singer of the journey until this date. :)
nostevenojourney will always be a bitter person. he will never accept Arnel. I loved Steve when he was with Journey and now I love Arnel. It's still Journey to me.

Steve not only the one who wrote the song , it was all the band... who wrote akso it was calked cooperstion co authors.

Arnel has some pipes. It aint easy singing Steve Perry songs. Props to him. Hope has continued success.
Amazing vocals!! I was searching how he started. So I guess this was the video that led him to stardom. Will be watching him in Toronto in 2023!!
hi! :) At the time of the video he was already a member of Journey, he returned to the Philippines for this farewell concert before embarking on a tour with Journey.
Love this guy! Just watched his movie...always loved Journey and will be a fan for life!
He has an amazing talent. I can't say enough about him. Awesome dude!
Gotta love Arnel Pineda's classiness. Well deserved success for him.

GREATEST vocalist of all time!!grabe galing ARNEL PINEDA
Love to see his old videos just amazing.
What great story from this great artist, god bless him always!!!
I hope i get to see Arnel perform live some time:)
he had no idea what was in store for his future at this point.... very cool to see this
This was recorded at a time before the heavy rigors of touring with Journey began deteriorating his voice. It's a shame the world and Arnel weren't prepared for his rise to fame a decade sooner. The world wasn't ready for an Asian S. Perry until the 1st black US prez was elected. Imagine what his voice was like at age 30!
Agreed. At 50, he still sounds amazing tho.
Arnel certainly does a better job as portraying Steve Perry than Obama did as portraying a US President. Don't compare Arnel to Obama and I promise not to compare Steve Perry to Trump or Bush, dipshit.
What got to do with Obama.? He is not an insperation to anybody as a corrupt politician.
yup..thats true...what if arnel was discover in 90's
yeah right...imagine if he was on his 30
Well once you listen to his voice you knw its like an precious stone and you cnt get rid of it;)just sniff and relax!
AP is the GREATEST vocalist of all time
amazing voice
Got to give credit also to Arnel's Old Band, their musicality is great :)
amazing voice that arnel has
Damn this is the best ever! That voice us absolutely huge!
Without any idea that one day, Neil Schon would find him. God works in mysterious ways.

I like Arnels outfit here- it’s perfect for journey he should’ve kept it Along with his long hair
