I have to admit I've been a hardcore Journey fan for years and would only listen to Steve Perry as their lead singer. I couldn't bring myself to listen to Steve Augeri and when Arnel joined the band, I wouldn't listen to him either. Then just the other day my boyfriend told me he watched a video of Arnel singing with Journey was blown away. He urged me to give Arnel a chance and I just did. I feel like such an asshole for being so close minded. Arnel is incredible. He's energetic and charismatic and sounds almost exactly like Steve Perry except that he adds a little Arnel to it and makes it his own. While listening to this video I read about his past and it made it even more evident to me why he belongs in the band and why he deserves it. He's gone through so much pain and tragedy to get where he is now. If Journey tours again and comes to Milwaukee, I'll be first in line to buy tickets. My mind is completely changed. I'm sorry Arnel. I was wrong about you. You are amazing!
Have you watched their documentary, Don't Stop Believin' Everyman's Journey? He's so adorable, and humble indeed. They are touring now until September. :D
MarleneAngel09 I just want to THANK YOU for being honest. There was no doubt that Steve Perry brought success to Journey in the past. Arnel was hired to fill SP's shoes and was not easy to do. He tried his best to make the audience happy and also to carry the torch for the Journey band...The new generations will be singing the Journey songs for many more years.
You have a very thoightful boyfriend. He love you very much. I pray for the womderdul years that you will be together. Thank you for the kind words for Arnel. Take care.
You are now a true fan of music... and can start clearly HEARING beautiful musical notes vocally chorded from the heart and the soul, instead of mainly LOOKING visually at the face of a singer. But everybody knows that without SP, there will be no AP.
I am AVID FAN OF ARNEL PINEDA, AS A FILIPINO, HE RAISES THE FLAG OF THE PHILIPPINES, SO PROUD OF OUR OWN FILIPINO HOME GROWN TALENT, TAKE CARE ARNEL AND.GET THAT MUCH NEEDED REST, COZ CONCERT TOURS CAN REALLY BE "SO TIREFULLY CONFRONTING "!
I agree Chris , Steve has a one of a kind voice and this is as close as we will ever get to Steve, and this young man is as close as were ever gonna get , he is absolutely sensational . My hat is off to him
Chris Noble his fucking amazing i was there..i like this guy so much his much better than the original he got Pipes..i like steve and im a big fan but if i choose between them i would rather pick this dude..that high note is extremely insane..my ticket is worth..my goodness thank god they find this guy..i purchase his album already in big fan of him already though we can download to itunes but i want cds
Steve Perry is so good with this song, but we can't hear him sing like this again. Aren't you glad another guy who sing the song like the way it used to be.Good job Arnel what a powerful voice there.!!!
That is what Neil was looking for when he found him, someone that can sound like the 80s Steve, I willing to bet Steve Perry doesn't sound like this in 2017 but it would be nice if they perform together this year at RR Hall of Fame, and here him sing
David Bronze //That's a good thinking David... We have the Musicians of J O U R N E Y..., and Arnel Pineda..., is tryin' to put his very best.... at this point..., our beloved Steve Perry is remarkable but he may need to prioritize his health condition..../Libra'67
Of course Perry wont sound like the old Perry of his youth, Arnel is only 52 and he doesnt sound like he sounded when he first started. Perry is 71 and is still sounding good at his age now but, no he will never reach those heights again but he is and always will be the best for me.
@@frankiemoore531 steve has a thinner voice. Arnel can hit the high notes but his notes are powerful, almost operatic. Steve in his prime could not sing it as powerfully as Arnel.
The great thing about this new singer/situation...If Journey ever finally decides to hang it up and retire...This kid will have an even brighter future!
He'd been singing in cover bands for at least 15 years before Journey found him on UA-cam. His story really is amazing. There's a documentary about it. But yeah... He was 40 then.
Matt Trujillo Todd Rundgren was 64 when he did the Amsterdam Metropole Orkest concert (on UA-cam) in 2012. If you take care of your pipes, you can still get it done. Jagger did; McCartney didn't.
No matter how good of a singer you are, you just don't walk into a bar on Karaoke night and walk away with it all tryin' to do this song. Period. This song just demands respect. It requires vocal performance. Arnel's is the man.
He never lipsyncs brother... At one point he had to switch mics from wireless to wired after a faulty connection and if there were any lipping it should have surfaced. Arnel has aged vocally though. But what can you expect from a 50 year old in 2017 singing a hit in 1982, when Perry was still in his late 20s/early 30s
I remember singing this while stocking at a store I used to work at...believe it or not (your choice) but when I sang the chorus I let my soul scream and a couple people noticed me and were like damn that was about how he did it...like I said believe it or not
Arnel Pineda , is a fan who had a great opportunity to sing in the band he loves, has the same essence and power Perry , and feeling a great interpreter amazing and happy to see him sing.
You should remember that Steve Perry was not original singer of Journey!?! Rollie and Fleischman sang in the band before Perry joined. I generally like Arnel but he sounds so exactly like Perry that one cannot help to wonder if he is more impersonator than singer in his own right!?
what I like about "Journey Improved" is they are having FUN ... Pineda brought a big dose of humility to this iconic band. Having been to the mountain with Perry as the front man they fell to the valley when he left. They saw some lean years which were leading to the inevitable death of the franchise when Schon miraculously found Pineda on YT (thank you *bowing* to YT). Rising from the slums of the Philippines eking out a living in bit gigs in Asia & the Pacific Islands this was a Cinderella story for him and a MAJOR lesson to the band members that not everyone is as richly blessed as they have been.... I think they saw this as a true "second chance" something rockers who have fallen from grace rarely get. Now their stage presence is full of laughter, big smiles, FUN they are having fun and a LOT of that fun is watching how much Pineda enjoys himself. Pineda was born for that moment when the stars aligned and God reached down from heaven with Schon's email and I really believe this new improved Journey recognizes it as divine intervention. They have found such joy "teaching" Pineda to perform - to be a stage presence, teaching him the riffs and lyrics to their tremendous repertoire of music. After all, all he had played was clubs - with tiny stages and it's his ROLE with Journey to fill that stage up - instrumentalist are stationary and these stages are enormous. Pineda had to learn all this and in a relatively short time. Every single band member knew Pineda had to succeed, he WAS the future of the band. I think all of this - the whole package, changed this seriously rockin' band for the better. This somewhat aging yet "new improved" franchise will last as long as Pineda does.
Really well said and beautifully written. I agree 150%. When each one saw such humility in such a brilliant artist that really DID just want to perform for the joy of performing I think it really DID change each of the band members in epic ways... they -- and WE -- are better for having met or glimpsed the life of Pineda.-- being touched by him. Great post.
Incredible performance. This guy is the real deal. I know Steve Perry wrote a lot of the bands hits, but its great to see this guy carry the torch and perform these wonderful tunes.
Everyone is on and on that is he not Steve Perry. First of all, Journey songs are INCREDIBLY hard to sing, Steve is now 65... vocally I don't believe he could still pull it off. Arnel is in his 40's and a strong vocalist and a Bad-Ass one at that. Let's all consider that...
@@austinftw10 lol. Tell that to journey. They chose Arnel for a reason. While you uneducated talentless shitstains stay in the comment section crying like pathetic dumbasses
I honestly can't understand people anymore. 1st off this guy KICKS SOME SERIOUS ASS and belts out these songs with pure emotion! If a band replaces a singer with someone who doesn't sound quite like the original they get criticized. In this case, this dude sounds BETTER than The Great Steve Perry and he gets criticized for it. That's right, I said BETTER!!! Go and watch videos of Perry LIVE in his prime, and he NEVER sounded this good. His voice was always breaking. I loved JOURNEY then and I love JOURNEY now!!
No he isn't better. He is good and he can hit the high notes and he's right in tune but Steve had just an incredible tone (you may not even understand what I mean by that if you are not a singer. I am a pro singer) ...very smokey rich voice. Arnel does not have that. He is not Steve but since Steve left...he is the next best thing. Philippinos love their karaoke and that is what Arnel was... a karaoke singer in his country...and he perfected singing like Steve buy mimicing him...which led to his new career. Steve is making a come back finally...but at 69 years old and being away from performing and "stretching" his vocal cords to hit the extremely high notes he used to....I doubt he will be able to do what he used to do but no one had his voice. Not even Arnel.
All we have is just a memory of Perry...we will not be able to listen to him live....Arnel is the reality now...we can see him on the stage singing Perry's songs, he might be a clone or copycat but nobody can do what he's doing, he is the closest singer to Perry, remember, it took Neal Schon years before they have found a replacement in the person of Arnel..... Steve Perry fans just listen to your DVD at home and enjoy the memories, for the meantime the rest of Journey can go on living entertaining people on stage!!! Sabe?
ARNEL PINEDA IS THE "SAVING GRACE" OF THE.BAND "JOURNEY", FROM THE.GRAVE, THEY HAVE RESURRECTED, FOUND ARNEL PINEDA TO "REVIVE THEIR MUSIC", AND INTRODUCE IT TO THE NEW COMING GENERATION, WOW!... THE "STEVE PERRY", LIVES ON, AND HISTORY.IS STILL IN THE MAKING FOR "JOURNEY"! I WILL ALWAYS HAVE A "FILIPINO HEART AND SPIRIT ", SUPPORTING OUR HONE GROWN TALENT,.....ALL THE BEST TO ARNEL AND THE.BAND JOURNEY
Arnel brought back that amazing sound to the band, the idea of bringing a guy from too far....Neal, Steve and Jonathan you guys did a great job finding this GODGIFTED VOICE........AWESOME!!!!
why just thank this guy for bringing alive the band again. if not of this guy the songs of journey will only be heard on radio's and cephones , through him he is introducing the song of journey to this generation not only for america but for every place that they travel. long live journey only those racist and envy people cant get over from the past.
First time I heard this song on the radio I was in shock, and turned up the volume. I wondered "What god-like thing created this fucking masterpiece!?"
I grew up with Steve Perry/Journey my whole life and I am probably older than most people on here. I love Steve Perry, but I love Arnel equally as much! I never thought it was a bad thing when they found a new singer, they can't go on without a singer at all, can they? I think Arnel is absolutely amazing, incredible, charismatic, high energy and TALENTED beyond belief and I absolutely love him!!!! People LIVE to be negative and always look for hate over love every time. Journey ROCKS! DONE!
Arnel said in an Interview once.. don't remember where it was.. that he praised Steve Perry and if it wasn't for Steve he wouldn't be in Journey..ROCK ON ARNEL
this is an absolutely fantastic performance. And it's not even Arnel's best. There are plenty of other live recordings, some of them more recent than this, where he hits all the high notes 100%. He's got the pipes.
just love this i never thought there would be another journey not to say perry will be missed but i love journey and i will always remember the concert
I am extremely grateful to Journey that you still let me enjoy my all time favorite song with the amazingly renovated voice. I've been Journey's fan since I was college student, and I am 50 now.Thank you for your undying music and performance
What makes this video so great is the camera is focused on all the band members. Usually, it is at least 75% just on the singer. Good to see the rest of the band as well.
I have seen Arnel perform this song many times, and he does it in an incredible way...but this version is unique...the sound, the lights and the arrangement are spectacular ❤
LOVE ARNEL!! I think he sounds fantastic! I wouldn't think twice about seeing him in concert and after watching his story I respect him and I am in awe of him even more
I have listened to this more times than i can imagine..loving every moment of this song.... Clearly music has no barrier. If you have it, you have it, no matter your race creed religion. Because music touches deeper than race creed religion...touches the human heart itself...and it heals...Iloveu arnel!
I was there in 1983 for the Journey Frontiers tour. Saw the show in Dallas and LA. The old guys are actually playing better now than they did then. They're tighter and crisper. In hindsight, the fractures in the band were already taking their toll when I saw them then. The vocals are every bit as good in this video as they were then. A little different, maybe a little earthier, but that's not a bad thing for a live show. If I want to listen to the album, I'll just put it on the turntable. Yes, I still have all my old Journey LPs, from the original Journey to Raised on Radio. Anyway, I love Steve Perry, but I'm perfectly happy with Arnel as the new voice of Journey. He brings Steve with a twist, and that's fun in its own right.
I have to admit I've been a hardcore Journey fan for years and would only listen to Steve Perry as their lead singer. I couldn't bring myself to listen to Steve Augeri and when Arnel joined the band, I wouldn't listen to him either.

I was wrong about you. You are amazing!

You are a star it takes a good woman to admit you were wrong.
Pity you can't convert the haters.
You are now a true fan of music... and can start clearly HEARING beautiful musical notes vocally chorded from the heart and the soul, instead of mainly LOOKING visually at the face of a singer. But everybody knows that without SP, there will be no AP.
I think Arnel Pineda made me love Journey more than I already did.
my sentiment exactly
Me tooooooo Iovee it
For sure
I am AVID FAN OF ARNEL PINEDA, AS A FILIPINO, HE RAISES THE FLAG OF THE PHILIPPINES, SO PROUD OF OUR OWN FILIPINO HOME GROWN TALENT, TAKE CARE ARNEL AND.GET THAT MUCH NEEDED REST, COZ CONCERT TOURS CAN REALLY BE "SO TIREFULLY CONFRONTING "!
This seriously sounds so awesome. This is the only replacement singer I've ever liked
He's not a replacement. He's bloody good on its own. :-)
Chris Noble better than lambert with Queen
@alex indeed!!
I agree Chris , Steve has a one of a kind voice and this is as close as we will ever get to Steve, and this young man is as close as were ever gonna get , he is absolutely sensational . My hat is off to him

The fact that he was scouted and encouraged to audition to be the lead vocal by the og members means he is a match for SP
rip replay button.
who's with me?2017 and still watching.
Janet Curameng; count me in so addictictive, , great performance ever , collect and saved it as my playlist 😊😀
🙋
Wrong 2018 then 2019 next year I’m still jamming to this
2018, I just discovered him last night watching UA-cam also...
Dude Rocks 🤘😄
This version is BRILLIANT! HIS VOCALS ARE ON POINT.
The most powerful and emotional version ive ever heard of this song..
right
If you saw them with Steve in 84 you would sing to a different beat, but this is a True A plus performance..
@@frankiemoore531 steve has a thinner voice. Arnel can hit the high notes but his notes are powerful, almost operatic. Steve in his prime could not sing it as powerfully as Arnel.
Yes
This generation doesn't know that Steve everybody is talking about. We know the band Journey with Arnel as the main vocal and he is phenomenal.
+Kenny G and that is SAD!
+Kenny G Ha. That's a lie XD
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE SONGS OF ALL TIME!!
This is one of the most passionate performances I've ever seen.
to all arnel’s bashers, let me tell you this, SP made journey and AP saved journt period,
arnel is kickass!
Very true, Steve made Journey and Arnel saved Journey thumbs 👍
The great thing about this new singer/situation...If Journey ever finally decides to hang it up and retire...This kid will have an even brighter future!
Kid? Arnel was 40 in 2008.
MAN, he looks too young!!!! You're kidding right??? He would still be a kid to me, I am 50 lol
He'd been singing in cover bands for at least 15 years before Journey found him on UA-cam. His story really is amazing. There's a documentary about it.
But yeah... He was 40 then.
lol, Yeah, I found out. He is a great singer....I hope he cuts an album or two on his own.

No matter how good of a singer you are, you just don't walk into a bar on Karaoke night and walk away with it all tryin' to do this song. Period. This song just demands respect. It requires vocal performance. Arnel's is the man.
It demands a ton from the singer.
Arnel can't even sing this song anymore.
His voice box is spent .
He lipsynchs this song now.
Love it
He never lipsyncs brother... At one point he had to switch mics from wireless to wired after a faulty connection and if there were any lipping it should have surfaced. Arnel has aged vocally though. But what can you expect from a 50 year old in 2017 singing a hit in 1982, when Perry was still in his late 20s/early

Arnel is one of the most genuinely SOULFUL frontman I have ever seen. A true delight to watch!
Front Man ? No no .. He's an exceptionally fantastic replacement..
Yes he is I like him better than the original Steve Perry
@@kerryjacobs472 oh, maybe 'front man' was the wrong term, but yes, and exceptionally fantastic replacement to Steve Perry!
@@teresitadavis2254 And Steve Perry is not dead if you wanna know! He can never be replaced no matter how frontmen front this band!
@@JOHNNYSGIRL1960 Perry is not dead but doesn't sing in high notes anymore. Get real
OMG Anel Pineda is AMAZING!
I know there are some Steve Perry fans out there...I know I am one...But this cat can ROCK!
Steve left the band, journey wanted to keep working on their music and time waits for no one
The only band in history to replace the original singer with someone equal or even better.
Edit: I forgot AC/DC!
Don’t forget AC/DC
Don’t forget foreigner either
I think Steve is by far best, this guy is amazing too obviously and is basically like tribute version to him . Both great voices
I in your dreams. That’s a hyperbole. He’s a good cover singer, he’s no Steve Perry.
You should remember that Steve Perry was not original singer of Journey!?! Rollie and Fleischman sang in the band before Perry joined. I generally like Arnel but he sounds so exactly like Perry that one cannot help to wonder if he is more impersonator than singer in his own right!?
Arnel is an absolute force of nature here!
Lung powered Arnel! Incredibly insane!!
Frankly speaking, there is absolutely no doubt that Arnel does Full Justice to Journey. He is Fantastic !!!

Now their stage presence is full of laughter, big smiles, FUN they are having fun and a LOT of that fun is watching how much Pineda enjoys himself.

Incredible performance. This guy is the real deal. I know Steve Perry wrote a lot of the bands hits, but its great to see this guy carry the torch and perform these wonderful tunes.
Dude he sings it so effortlessly it’s so cool i got goosebumps on every square inch of my body right now
He’s so good
I don't care what anyone says . He does an amazing job !!!!!!
💥 boom, exactly brother
He's great!!!! He sings the song on the original key and it sounds fantastic!
Original key is key!😂
Nao é apenas a voz, é a musica eletrizante
Watch nah, I love Arnel as much as I love Steve! Oh my, this boy is something else! Long live Journey 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He sing very good In LIVE concert...
Still listening 2024?
Arnel is so powerful!!!
Oh my god! This is freaking awesome!!! Arnel blew a new life into the band and their music. Look at Neil's happy face!
Yeah true...proud Filipino here👏👏
Journey was able to keep on trucking and is still a high demand. Arnel Pineda is incredible. check out the version of them in Manila...
this man is amazing !!
My husband and I went separate ways in his death.
R.I.P. Robert!
Diamonds are dropping from my eyes listening to this song.
Amazing how he sounds so much like Steve Perry, still a Journey fan
Arnel gives a super modern journey of this generation
Just experienced in Vegas 2024. No one can touch SP
HOWEVER..ARNEL 😮😮❤❤❤ 🎤🎤🎤🔥🔥🔥
Sounds like Perry .Unbelievable .Super great .
Everyone is on and on that is he not Steve Perry. First of all, Journey songs are INCREDIBLY hard to sing, Steve is now 65...

Arnel's voice is mesmerizing. I am loving it.
The best thing about Arnel Pineda's Journey performance is that it is HIS, not just a copy of someone else's. He OWNS it.
SPOT ON! YOU SAID IT ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

I am truly impressed 25 years later and to sound that good better than the studio version very few bands could make that claim
Sounds just like Steve Perry!
Yaaaaawn... Guy's talented, he's a perfect parrot!
@@DudemanSwede yawnn? Stupid comment, arnel has been great.
@@DudemanSwede you gotta be the life of the party
No he doesn’t sound just like Steve Perry. I can totally tell them apart. LOL.
Arnels voice is more powerful. Perry's voice was thinner, more high pitched. Arnels version of separate ways is better. Just my opinion
Dear Arnel you put your Heart & Soul into that - how Wonderful - just makes me Soooooo Happy 😊✨
Arnel brought back that amazing sound to the band, the idea of bringing a guy from too far....Neal, Steve and Jonathan
you guys did a great job finding this GODGIFTED VOICE........AWESOME!!!!
Arnel is awesome great performance by him and the band
I could listen to him sing this song all night long. Just awesome. :)
Thank you Arnel, the Journey revive!!!

incredible! He's so energetic and what a voice, live!
I grew up with Steve Perry/Journey my whole life and I am probably older than most people on here. I love Steve Perry, but I love Arnel equally as much! I never thought it was a bad thing when they found a new singer, they can't go on without a singer at all, can they? I think Arnel is absolutely amazing, incredible, charismatic, high energy and TALENTED beyond belief and I absolutely love him!!!! People LIVE to be negative and always look for hate over love every time. Journey ROCKS! DONE!
Journey Rocks now!!
HOLY balls. So good. This is amazing dude. Please keep singing. And if you ever come to Toronto I want some tix.

Not Holy Balls
Thank You Arnel for keeping Journey Alive and Kicking. And thank you Journey for doing the Right thing !!!
Arnel said in an Interview once.. don't remember where it was.. that he praised Steve Perry and if it wasn't for Steve he wouldn't be in Journey..ROCK ON ARNEL
Arnel sang it so well..what a great & powerful vocals!
Probably their best live performance EVER
Nope. See A night with Journey @ Hollywood Bowl 2015. Their best performance with orchestra & choir
Wow , this is the first I finally saw Journey perform with Arnel Pineda and he's REALLY good .
Arnel Pineda world Legend
✌️🥰
A classic performance of a band here.
Outstanding.
this is an absolutely fantastic performance. And it's not even Arnel's best. There are plenty of other live recordings, some of them more recent than this, where he hits all the high notes 100%. He's got the pipes.
Yes coz he is already in his 40ish when he joined the band. Her vocal on his 30ish is untouchable
just love this i never thought there would be another journey not to say perry will be missed but i love journey and i will always remember the concert
Amazing Voice! such a Powerful!
This man just brought this band back! LOVE IT!!!
There's nothing to compare here. Just pure talent. Love Arnel so much.
I am extremely grateful to Journey that you still let me enjoy my all time favorite song with the amazingly renovated voice. I've been Journey's fan since I was college student, and I am 50 now.Thank you for your undying music and performance
One of the most iconic bands of all times…
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!!!
😀😁😄
Vernon Sim Steve was the greatest.
What makes this video so great is the camera is focused on all the band members. Usually, it is at least 75% just on the singer. Good to see the rest of the band as well.
I'm getting goosebumps. His voice is that great!
This dude nailed it!
I have seen Arnel perform this song many times, and he does it in an incredible way...but this version is unique...the sound, the lights and the arrangement are spectacular ❤
Damn, he gave his heart and soul in that performance.
A great of Journey. Arnel stage presence so awesome.
Arnel is fantastic. And the whole band sounds great
the best concert they ever did with arnel
probably the best version ive herd,whole band was on it...drums sounded fkn huge
Dean is a powerhouse. He has speed , power, and timing. he is the best.
THIS MAN IS MY INSPIRATION UNTIL NOW!
I remember this waaaay back in the when it first came out. man brings back the days. todays music is like ''blah''
LOVE ARNEL!! I think he sounds fantastic! I wouldn't think twice about seeing him in concert and after watching his story I respect him and I am in awe of him even more
I love your voice kababayan Arnel Pineda.
He is loads better live than Steve Perry was, totally love the new Journey. Arnel rocks!!!
HAIL THE "AIR-NEL'' PINEDA!
I have listened to this more times than i can imagine..loving every moment of this song.... Clearly music has no barrier. If you have it, you have it, no matter your race creed religion. Because music touches deeper than race creed religion...touches the human heart itself...and it heals...Iloveu arnel!
He is really awesome!!!
I was there in 1983 for the Journey Frontiers tour. Saw the show in Dallas and LA. The old guys are actually playing better now than they did then. They're tighter and crisper. In hindsight, the fractures in the band were already taking their toll when I saw them then.
The vocals are every bit as good in this video as they were then. A little different, maybe a little earthier, but that's not a bad thing for a live show. If I want to listen to the album, I'll just put it on the turntable. Yes, I still have all my old Journey LPs, from the original Journey to Raised on Radio.
Anyway, I love Steve Perry, but I'm perfectly happy with Arnel as the new voice of Journey. He brings Steve with a twist, and that's fun in its own right.
This guy is amazing. Not only is he beautiful on the outside, but he is also on the inside. He's been through so much and deserves this.
Dang they slayed it. Such a classic wow 🥁 🎸 🎹 😎 . Love the 80’s stuff
