Even sweeter knowing I was in a coma 2 weeks before this. Deen and Neal sang it to me while I was in the hospital. I'm sure that helped bring me around. I love you big bro...xoxo
Bless you. I was in a coma August 29, 2021. I’m doing good. We just have to start all over again but will get there our faith and love for God we will get there. 🙏🏻🕊️❤️
Deen is AMAZING. He's got heart, soul, great looks, and Perry's pipes. You can tell he's a genuine human being with a kind heart on top of it all. May he continue Journey's lifespan (with Arnel) for as long as possible. Best of health to his sweet sister.
How awesome was this and so heartfelt for him and his sister.He is changing and putting everything he has into it not just for himself but for his family.We have all made mistakes in life let nobody judge until we walk a mile in their shoes.I came to love his music but am finding the person he is becoming is even better.
I had the privilege of meeting Deen at SFO one morning. He was very kind, humble and, as you can see, has a very good heart. That really impressed me that day. (And WOW! What a mind blowing drummer!). All the best to you Deen. Stay strong. You are missed. Derek Pratte.
Your brother is back. God bless him and your family. So happy to see him back to what he loves to do. I watch all his video’s. He’s killing it with Neal again!
I just discovered the extent of his drum talent and just now his vocal talent? I had no idea, I would definitly say he's in line with Steve Perry...He's got all the musicality AND soul. I can't believe he's totally self tought, lol...amazing! I hope things get better for his current situation.
Wow Deen that was so cool, singing to your sister not many brothers do that. Hey I wanted to thank you again for the drum head you signed and gave to me and my son Drew that was so awesome, and we would like to thank you and Journey for the Journey to Music at the boy's and girls club, Wow what an awesome thing, Drew is on his second year drum lessons and man we can't believe our ears his teacher says he just has an ear for music anyway come down and listen to him sometime see what you think. Bo
Deen actually promised to sing this song to her after she got home from being in icu for 3 weeks. Its her favorite Journey song! :) She was trying not to cry when she was looking away! He is so special! PS ..no..he doesnt smoke anymore :) but this was a year ago. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Shelly Castronovo I hope and wish your brother well he sing better than arneil but it the truth he tried to sing like your brother on father mother and he was strained it's natural to you brother plus is drumming is hard and heavy your brother plays straight driven rhythms and beats Steve good but doesn't have that wow factor of your brothers power poise in the pocket flash he plays like his not playing at all but you can feel the thunderous beats from your seat he ought to try and reform bad English get if Sean and meal don t won't too do it get the original singer back Mic Michael I on keys from the band Europe the original bass player and the girl guitarists from Alice Cooper band they would rock prayers for deen and you got bless and rock n roll oo [oooh yeah
❤❤❤ ,. "*". DEAN CASTRONOVO "*" , "*" WHAT A SINGER HE IS , EXCELLENT , EXCELLENT IF YOU ASK ME , DEAN IS AN EXCELLENT DRUMMER ALSO ,. WAY TO GO BRO "*" , ❤❤❤
Not bad at all for an impromptu, on the fly song for you sister, Sisi. Buddy I give you an 8 but I will give you a 10 when your drumming and singing while your performing those bad azzzzzz concert because you Rock especially when you sing Mother Father. Peace!
Deen, thank you for singing this song and posting it. Gorgeous voice. I had sent a short message several weeks ago, either to you or Neal, requesting that you could sing this song in concert. I hope you get a chance to do so. Also, could you please consider singing more solos with Journey? Your version of "Still They Ride" is my favorite.
Sounds like Deen is more than just a self taught vocalist. He not only has great upper range but he sings very skilled, so he hasn't blown out his voice from just being a screamer. Lasslor23, can you confirm this and maybe what his vocal instruction background has been? Thank you!
lasslor23 Truly gifted! To have the great vocal technique he has is and the quality of voice is incredible for being self taught! I could listen to him all the time. Don't mean to be intrusive, but do you know if Journey is planning another tour with Arnel next year or are they considering hanging it up?
They really should have just gone with Deen as their singer. Arnel is good, but damn, this guy can drum AND sing....I get that Journey kinda needs a "front man", but as a LOOONG time fan and critic of theirs over the years, this dude knocks it out of the park.
@lasslor23 That is such a sweet story. I'm glad you're better. Would you be able to persuade your brother to sing this song in the 2011 tour? Also, thanks for allowing this to be posted. :)
Hope he is nicer to his sister than his wife !! Deen Castronovo has pleaded guilty in a domestic violence case and has been sentenced to probation and counseling. Court records show that Castronovo, 58, of Salem pleaded guilty to two counts of fourth-degree domestic violence assault, two counts of domestic violence menacing, one count of unlawful use of a weapon and one count of coercion. Castronovo has been sentenced to four years of supervised probation with a requirement that he undergo counseling for drug abuse and for domestic violence offenders. If Castronovo breaks his probation, he faces a sentence of more than five years in prison. He is a criminal, not a victim. He is not a nice person, but he is an ok drummer. LMFAO.
Get a new shtick. You go from video to video and post the same stuff. Why the hyperfocus? Did you both try out for the same band, and he was picked? Deen has worked past what happened in 2015, and he and his wife are doing well. Maybe you should work past it, too. Obsession isn’t good for the psyche.
Even sweeter knowing I was in a coma 2 weeks before this. Deen and Neal sang it to me while I was in the hospital. I'm sure that helped bring me around. I love you big bro...xoxo
lasslor23 I love you more Sissy!
Bless you.
I was in a coma August 29, 2021. I’m doing good.

I’m glad you’re brother is back in Journey. He’s very talented.
How awesome was this and so heartfelt for him and his sister.He is changing and putting everything he has into it not just for himself but for his family.We have all made mistakes in life let nobody judge until we walk a mile in their shoes.I came to love his music but am finding the person he is becoming is even better.
Deen is so sweet!! I see the little boy in him as he sings out to his "sissy"!
Lori very beautiful and heart warming. A beautiful bond you both have together!
Man, I wish I had two brothers like Deen & Arnel; they're both very devoted family men with lots of talent & great personalities too!
His sister is like "This is weird he's singing this to me." haha
I had the privilege of meeting Deen at SFO one morning. He was very kind, humble and, as you can see, has a very good heart. That really impressed me that day. (And WOW! What a mind blowing drummer!). All the best to you Deen. Stay strong. You are missed. Derek Pratte.
Deen u r the man, the master of drums and vocals!
Welcome back Dean!!
Awe that's so sweet of him u rock deen :)
Your brother is back. God bless him and your family. So happy to see him back to what he loves to do. I watch all his video’s. He’s killing it with Neal again!

You're absolutely right. I have a great family including this sweet, crazy brother. I love them all. :)
This tears me up time and again..
All prayers for dean and his family!!
Love your voice Deen.....and yes STOP THAT SMOKING!
I was just thinking -- if his own sister can't convince him to sing this song in concert, he's not going to listen to his fans. You're our only hope.
deen you are the man bro!!!
Deen has a beautiful voice...best lead singer for JOURNEY since Steve Perry.
ALLLL DAYYY LONG
4sure steve then Deen unbelievable voice
Youre the greatest Deen!!
how lovely!
Beautiful. Praise Jesus!
Looking forward to Journey's concert tonight in Columbus, OH. Hope they give Deen the microphone often! Love hearing him sing!
Lasslori23........Deeno is so awesome! He is the man!
Great personal moment...thanks for sharing...always been a fan of deen's all the way back when he was a starving artist
What I found coolest about this is, he wasn't in his 'Perry" mode. This is him singing in his voice. Very cool.
Wow Deen that was so cool, singing to your sister not many brothers do that. Hey I wanted to thank you again for the drum head you signed and gave to me and my son Drew that was so awesome, and we would like to thank you and Journey for the Journey to Music at the boy's and girls club, Wow what an awesome thing, Drew is on his second year drum lessons and man we can't believe our ears his teacher says he just has an ear for music anyway come down and listen to him sometime see what you think.

Great deenok keep making me cry

Everything Deen does has been self-taught. Both drums and vocals. No formal instruction.
lasslor23 Truly gifted! To have the great vocal technique he has is and the quality of voice is incredible for being self taught! I could listen to him all the time.
Don't mean to be intrusive, but do you know if Journey is planning another tour with Arnel next year or are they considering hanging it up?
Cool😊
Dean your the best
Wow, he can sing... he needs to take over lead vocals for journey.... NOW!!!
Great voive Dean acappella
They really should have just gone with Deen as their singer. Arnel is good, but damn, this guy can drum AND sing....I get that Journey kinda needs a "front man", but as a LOOONG time fan and critic of theirs over the years, this dude knocks it out of the park.
I pester him all the time about it. I think they don't sing it because it wasn't a commercial "hit." I'll keep working on it!
1:15 to 1:19 OMG!!!!! Love it!
@lasslor23 That is such a sweet story. I'm glad you're better. Would you be able to persuade your brother to sing this song in the 2011 tour? Also, thanks for allowing this to be posted. :)
Yo my brother FOKIN RAWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!, thats the reality of it ;)
Ganda Ng boses ni deen
@lasslor23 You're awesome, Lori!
He sounds like the younger Steve Perry.
Really? Are you joking? You must be joking. Maybe a nice guy but not in Perry's league.
Not even close
Dream On Agreed totally! SP is a Vocal God to me!! My biggest influence
Amazing....kills me. I want to contact him. I have a Journey stand up arcade game I am going to give him.
I hope he sister is ok. He sounds great. But needs to stop smoking.
awesome
💕 🤘🏼🎶
@lasslor23 Is this true?
I'm sure she recognizes his talent but as a sister would she punch his arm afterwards? 🤓😔
Hope he is nicer to his sister than his wife !!
