@@h-deck Yes, I'm well aware, and actually, Steve himself has spoken of his own current abilities in much the same way. Still, I had to say something about those past tense references. You had me thinking I missed some MAJOR news, man! 🤣
When Steve Perry mentioned and acknowledged Arnel Pineda in his Hall Of Fame speech, to me that’s the passing of the torch in my opinion. He gave Arnel full love and respect for saving Journey and continue the legacy.

Arnel is not only the closest to Perry in terms of vocal range and stage presence, he’s also the second longest tenured singer. Can’t believe it’s been 16 years since he joined the band, and he’s still in the lineup!
And the fact that he's a Filipino man with an accent and had to learn how to sound like Steve says everything .Arnel crafted his voice and does a fine job at keeping JOURNEY alive
Arnel is someone you can really admire! He’s paid tribute to Steve’s greatness with Journey and has been the glue that holds the band together since Steve left ! 🤷🏻♂️
Arnel is the closest thing to Steve Perry. He has a very high quality voice with sustain. No one can replace Steve Perry but, Arnel certainly fulfills the qualities that every Journey fan expects when they see the band in concert.

Arnel is a formidable vocalist, no doubt whatsoever. But there is a magic that is unparalleled about the tone of Perry's voice that sounds the way a summer breeze feels. And, there are innately unique inflections in his delivery that are not mechanical or rigid. They are, in fact, purely organic and fluid like a comforting spoonful of warm honey. They are qualities in his voice that cannot be taught or learned. They are an intrinsic part of Steve's vocal physiology and simply irreplicable.
@@KaraokePubmain Its because Steve doesnt just have a great and powerful voice, he is a studied and accomplished vocalist. He connect everything, transitions perfectly between notes, and his range is insane. Arnel really isnt close in comparison. But really, who is close to Steve? Maybe Freddie Mercury and a a couple others in history? Steve's vocal ability is up there with accomplished Opera singers.

For me Steve Perry is the best front man of journey, yes there are others singer of journey since perry left but no one can sing like Steve, he sing with emotion and the voice love him so much

There are not enough words to describe Steve Perry's voice. Perfect comes to mind. It would be the most humbling experience and utmost privilege to hear him sing.
I had the privilege of seeing and experiencing Steve with Journey on the Faithfully tour when they came to San Antonio. I will NEVER forget that experience. But thanks go to Arnel for doing an amazing job at keeping the songs alive and very close to what we expect to hear from any Journey song.
There is no question who is the best. There is Steve Perry, whose sound and creativity spawned these masterpieces, and there are others that try to mimic him and copy his work. Steve is the champ, hands down.
All four are fantastic vocalists, but there's something magical about the tone in Steve Perry and Arnel Pineda's voices. They both just wrap you up in awe with their silky smooth voices.
Agree, I saw Journey with Arnel in 2009 and it was great. My heart goes out to Arnel for doing his best to fill unfillable shoes, and all the flak he's put up with. He's great and a wonderful replacement. Everyone should give him the respect he deserves.
In my opinion Steve Augeri sounds the closest in this video but I have found an awesome young man on UA-cam DAN VASE HE IS AMAZING SINGING JOURNEY SONG'S AND HE CAN SING JUST ABOUT ANYTHING HE WANTS.
Arnel very charismatic performer not just singing and standing.He loves audience interaction thats makes him unique plus with his soulful,powerful voice
No need to compare, l love all the vocalists, and I love Journey. Come on guys, just enjoy. It's the music, the good memories of it. Just be thankful the journey of this band is forever, still alive and give us amazing performance.

Not necessarily with this song, but Deen Castronovo should be considered, because there are videos of him singing others like "Still They Ride" and "Open Arms." And when Neal put Journey Through Time together a few years ago, Deen sang lead the whole time and nailed it.

There is only "one" ☝️ Steve Perry!! But I feel bad about the negative rap that Arnel gets from many people. It's clear that Augeri and Soto struggle on the high notes that Arnel hits with ease. To many of his critics, it's hard to accept the fact that although appearance doesn't match the sound that comes out of his mouth - he is still the best journey vocalist after Steve. Many would prefer to pretend to be tone deaf. They'd prefer to see a struggling average white vocalist than to accept a pitch perfect sound coming out of a little asian singer...
Let's say end this journey band so no more criticism comparing Steve perry to Arnel pinada. Steve I guess left or didn't want to play so journey the band wants to continue playing, performing so they did with different front men's and ended u with Arnel that now is and still the front man of journey..
They hate them coz they said They are not sounds like Perry but when they Discovered Arnel who sounds almost Perry ... Perry fans still angry coz they said He is just a copycat of Perry ... But in reality Arnel almost sounds like the many Singer everytime He sang other song .
Those who think Arnel or the other replacement singers sound as good as Steve Perry haven't listened to any of his albums before 1982. His voice was untouchable.
Clearly, you haven't listened to Arnel lately...his wife reached out to Celine D for help stating Arnel was struggling...and she recommended some tea mix for him...Arnel is sweet but he wasn't ever what Steve was...and now his steak is cooked too.@@orchidmalevolence9726

Each singer is unique. All I can say is , Arnel has saved the band as he is extra talented. Arnel has an amazing voice and can hit high notes with ease. Kudos Arnel!
Arnel can't sing "Still They Ride" or "Mother, Father". He is missing the high, melodic register to truly carry most of the songs. He goes "husky" a lot. By that, it means he opens his throat and drops the register and tonal quality. He's good, no doubt; just not quite enough to truly replace SP.

Journey is just not Journey without Steve Perry. I grew up with Steve, listened loved this band and Steve's outstanding vocals. Arnel is definitely second and fantastic. But Steve is Journey to me and always will be....
Mga bobo ba kayo? Hindi ninyo alam na noong pumasok si arnel sa banda journey ay sinabihan sya na gawin ung original o yung trademark na istilo ng grupo? At hinde ninyo ba alam kung gaano kahirap ito gawin, kaya dapat ninyo hangaan si arnel dahil nagagawan nya ng maayos at perpekto trabaho para ipagpatuloy ang legasiya ng journey, kaya kahit ano sabihin ninyo mga tanga kayo ay mas mahusay si arnel kay perry kasi mas may dedikasyon sya trabaho at pinanindigan nyang gawin ito ng halos 15 taon mga gunggong,itranlate ninyo mga tanga
Journey's songs are so good that most who sing them make them sound good. When Steve sings them, we all get goosebumps and it takes us back. Arnel is close but just not the same. Younger people who don't have the memories associated with Journey may not agree.
I still have every single Journey Album and one from Japan. I have the Atari video game I slept out on the sidewall In Phoenix to get tickets/ went two nights in a row that time.

Without Steve Perry Journey would never have become the band that they did. Arnel is great no doubt, but Steve will forever be the voice of Journey, especially for us from the 80s.

After Steve Perry, Arnel crushes it. He's got the sound and the spirit and you can tell that he cares. We saw them a few years ago and they put on a great show with Arnel.
1. Steve Perry 2. Arnel Pineda 3. Steve Augeri 4. Jeff Scott Soto Perry knew how to pull emotion from every word. He sang each word as if they were the most important.
Augeri voice too thin , straining way too hard Jeff Scott: Good loud voice but too rock starish maybe early Journey Arnel : better, good pipes but lacks the softness of Steve
If you've ever seen Steve Perry sing in person, you would never forget it. Never. I was completely blown away by how much of himself he put into his performance and how absolutely incredible his voice sounded. When he credited Pineda for his contribution to Journey at the Hall of Fame induction, he showed pure class. When I saw Journey back in the 70's. I had some of the best concert seats I'd ever had and can still actually hear him singing if I close my eyes. Magical.
@george bent.. Arnel can still hit the high notes at 54 yo.. He still has the stamina to run around the stage, jump and fly! night after night after night aftet night after night, singing the repertoire of like 7 or 8 songs? And he continued the legacy for 15 years after Steve left.. When he joined Journey, concert tours were always a success, and tickets olweiz sold out.. We love love you Arnel 💙💙💙
Don’t forget Deen Castronovo. Amazing singer for Journey, and drummer as well. The dude has unbelievable range and hits the notes with ease and feeling WHILE drumming.

Steve Perry set the standard, no doubt. I was actually surprised to hear how good Steve Augeri and Jeff Scott Soto sounded, even though I saw JSS front Journey many years ago. What blew me away, though, was Arnel. That dude has some pipes! Wow.

ME: Read the Title…giggled, because DUH…clicked on the video but immediately paused it because DUH. But I’m gonna help you out. There is a very talented, humble man who has a voice that you recognize as soon as you hear him - he’s also the only reason you’ve ever heard of Journey. His name is Steve (The Voice) Perry! Hope this helps you. I’m going to find a video
The other guys nearly matched Steve's smoothness, but always came off sounding like impersonators. Arnel, who ironically WAS a tribute band singer, has evolved into his own phrasing while still honoring the originals. He brings an edge and real passion to his performances, and hits those high notes really clean and precise. What a find. Don't be angry - Steve can't do these songs anymore, and they deserve to continue being sung.
It’s crazy. I was actually kinda mad when I first heard Arnel. It was a combination of “he’s incredible” and “he’ll never be Steve.” But knowing what all he’s been through since joining them and watching him honestly just get better and better, I just love listening to him now. He’s really, really good and makes these songs feel alive again for me.

I love Journey and saw them with Steve, Steve and Arnel. Always a great concert. A voice is unique thing and growing up with Steve Perry’s voice leaves me in awe.
Imagine the pressure on Arnel after one of the most incredible voice there is: the one of Steve Perry! He does a really really good job, respect. And yes, Perry’s voice is one of a kind ❤

Always Steve Perry. Grew up watching the videos on MTV, movies with their music on the soundtrack ( love Vision Quest), listening on the radio, buying their records and tapes and posters. Unless you lived in that time, you probably won't understand.
There is only one Steve Perry, and these will always be HIS songs. While the other guys did a voice copy, no-one can ever do that successfully. Steve Perry's voice and stage presence are something he brought to Journey, and unfortunately for Journey and their fans, he took everything he brought to the band with him when he left. Thankfully we still have access to the original singer and his incredible talent on their early albums. That music is just as amazing to listen to today.
@@vraylesabile5212 WTF is it with the race card? Just because people like the original singer more than the current one, doesn't make them racist. There was nothing racist said about AP. You people jump to retarded conclusions when you hear something you don't like or agree with. And yes SP is better then AP. There is a reason why SP is called "The Voice". Take your race card and shove it back in your wallet.. Or better yet just destroy it. Life would be much better for everyone.
Steve Perry’s voice is a class of its own, unique and unparalleled. There will never be another Steve Perry but Arnel Pineda has the best voice and intensity among the rest.🌹🌹🌹
Mr. Perry will always have the edge for three reasons. 1. He wrote them. They were designed for his voice so it’s a perfect marriage between voice and content. 2. Nostalgia. You can’t escape his shadow and you hear his voice still everyday on the radio compared with the others. 3. He was simply the best.

Steve P helped write a bunch of the best Journey songs. That says alot. So he should feel them the most. The ones we all say we love the best. Only The Young, Ask The Lonely and all the great songs from Escape(love the song), Frontiers, Raised On Radio, ETC. I found Journey in 1980 in high school. Because he co wrote the material, Steve P = Journey 4 m3!!!

He’s the closest plus in tune with Steve, Soto was out on some notes, there is another guy who did Journey songs his name is Matt Black he was incredible live, look him up!
I aggre...the same with you ..
There is Steve Perry and there is everyone else. But gotta say Arnel may be the closest thing we'll ever see.
Arnel is just a very good Steve Perry impersonator
Wrong. Lookup Hugo Valenti

I was shocked at how old Arnel is. I thought he looked so young but he’s 55. Which is not old, I’m 55. 😁

Every person is unique. Because of this, I do believe that Arnel is not focused on how to be like Perry. Perry is Perry and Arnel is Arnel.
I’m kind of sad that he didn’t just start his own band. He’s doomed to just be not-steve-perry to a lot of people…
yes i agree, arnel is a great mimic
Just that Stev Perry has thé voice of an ange
Steve Perry. What a gift to humanity. He was a vocal god. Arnel has kept the memory alive. He’s amazing but nobody - nobody is Steve Perry.
Man, I hear ya, but don't be referring to my man Steve in the past tense like he's dead. Lol. 😊
You took the words right out of my mouth. He’s still active and producing new music as a solo artist but he’s not past tense.
@@wesotl1026 well - as people age they’re vocal cords age as well. The ability to hit those really high crisp notes, is just not the same.

There’s no comparison Steve Perry is the greatest. And has one of the best voices in music history

He also sang for The Storm band (with Steve Smith on drums) for years with a main hit "Karate Tiger" or "Hold On to the Vision" which was a movie title track fo Blood Dragon. He also did work with Bryan Adams, Neal Schon and others! In 2003 he toured as the lead singer of The Alan Parsons Live Project. He also produced many solo albums. Some pretty impressive stuff!

No one will ever be better than Steve Perry. The man is an icon.
Pineda is better
@@DurgaOmm you're entitled to your opinion.
so true...He will always be front man for Journey.
He sucked than and he sucks now.
@@terricunningham6810untill he was fired. Legend in his own mind
Always Steve Perry he was the original will always be that will never change...
Arnel is not only the closest to Perry in terms of vocal range and stage presence, he’s also the second longest tenured singer. Can’t believe it’s been 16 years since he joined the band, and he’s still in the lineup!
That says a lot. Arnel earned his right to sing with the band for such a long time. I still have them down on my bucket list of concerts to see.
Steve Perry from 1977 to 1987, and from 1995 to 1998. Arnel is the longest tenured singer in Journey
And the fact that he's a Filipino man with an accent and had to learn how to sound like Steve says everything .Arnel crafted his voice and does a fine job at keeping JOURNEY alive
@@florencemiller7826 Filipino's only have a strong accent when they're speaking, but when they sing, a lot of times they don't.
no he isn't he can't even hit Steve's top range. he tries but he cant
Oh, man! This guy Arnel Pineda is fantastic! A very legitimate successor for Steve Perry
No one can replace Steve Perry. I can still tell the difference he’s got one of the greatest voices of all time.
Me too
F A C T.
Anyone who grew up with Journey can tell the difference instantly! No one can ever touch Steve Perry
Bullcrap !!
@@richardeverson6994 Yeah you sure are full of that alright !!😅😅
Steve and Arnel ...omg such a voices, wow❤
ARNEL IS INCREDIBLE!!! Just saw them Saturday. Amazing. Giant packed stadium screaming their heads off. 100% acceptance here!
Arnel is someone you can really admire! He’s paid tribute to Steve’s greatness with Journey and has been the glue that holds the band together since Steve left ! 🤷🏻♂️
I agree. Arnel hit notes that Steve couldn't hit in his prime.
Oh please mrmwnfly, Perry hits notes in his prime that no can hit today. Arnel is great but he is no Steve Perry.
ua-cam.com/video/521BVB6RTF4/v-deo.html
big karaoke woo hoo
Arnel's voice has enough power to run a city 🔥🔥
True🔥
Arnel is the closest thing to Steve Perry. He has a very high quality voice with sustain. No one can replace Steve Perry but, Arnel certainly fulfills the qualities that every Journey fan expects when they see the band in concert.
100%

Arnel is a formidable vocalist, no doubt whatsoever. But there is a magic that is unparalleled about the tone of Perry's voice that sounds the way a summer breeze feels. And, there are innately unique inflections in his delivery that are not mechanical or rigid. They are, in fact, purely organic and fluid like a comforting spoonful of warm honey. They are qualities in his voice that cannot be taught or learned. They are an intrinsic part of Steve's vocal physiology and simply irreplicable.
Great opinion. Agree
This!
YES!!!
His song "Foolish Heart" showed just how lovely his voice when left alone.
@@KaraokePubmain Its because Steve doesnt just have a great and powerful voice, he is a studied and accomplished vocalist. He connect everything, transitions perfectly between notes, and his range is insane. Arnel really isnt close in comparison. But really, who is close to Steve? Maybe Freddie Mercury and a a couple others in history? Steve's vocal ability is up there with accomplished Opera singers.
Steve Perry to me IS Journey. The others aren't bad, it's just that I grew up in the Steve Perry era and he's just so awesome.
Hello Paula,
how're you doing?
Your comments caught my attention

Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you!

For me Steve Perry is the best front man of journey, yes there are others singer of journey since perry left but no one can sing like Steve, he sing with emotion and the voice love him so much

@@mrzee1958 forget? never heard of him, I will have to look him up
@@mrzee1958hah, I’m just an hour from streator. Used to play them in quiz bowl back in high school
There are not enough words to describe Steve Perry's voice. Perfect comes to mind. It would be the most humbling experience and utmost privilege to hear him sing.
I had the privilege of seeing and experiencing Steve with Journey on the Faithfully tour when they came to San Antonio. I will NEVER forget that experience. But thanks go to Arnel for doing an amazing job at keeping the songs alive and very close to what we expect to hear from any Journey song.
No one has a voice like Steve Perry it's very untouchable ❤
There is no question who is the best. There is Steve Perry, whose sound and creativity spawned these masterpieces, and there are others that try to mimic him and copy his work. Steve is the champ, hands down.
Steve Perry The Best for me ❤️😘😘😘
All four are fantastic vocalists, but there's something magical about the tone in Steve Perry and Arnel Pineda's voices. They both just wrap you up in awe with their silky smooth voices.
Agree, I saw Journey with Arnel in 2009 and it was great. My heart goes out to Arnel for doing his best to fill unfillable shoes, and all the flak he's put up with. He's great and a wonderful replacement. Everyone should give him the respect he deserves.
Completly agree
100 percent
You nailed it!
In my opinion Steve Augeri sounds the closest in this video but I have found an awesome young man on UA-cam DAN VASE HE IS AMAZING SINGING JOURNEY SONG'S AND HE CAN SING JUST ABOUT ANYTHING HE WANTS.
Steve perry voice stands out hands down best male vocalist ive ever heard
Steve Perry ❤❤❤ Unforgettable! Arnel is also great! I love Journey!
Arnel very charismatic performer not just singing and standing.He loves audience interaction thats makes him unique plus with his soulful,powerful voice
Arnel's voice is AMAZING in that end clip😱😱
No need to compare, l love all the vocalists, and I love Journey. Come on guys, just enjoy. It's the music, the good memories of it. Just be thankful the journey of this band is forever, still alive and give us amazing performance.
Noone is Ever going to sound like Steve Perry. He is his own voice. That is the Music in him. That is his soul.

Steve Perry is a one of a kind, love the tone of his voice.
Steve will always be the only one that gave Journey that fame. Simply the most beautiful voice all around.
Only Steve Perry can sing like Steve Perry! One and only! ❤❤❤
Wawww ... so cool words!
Steve Perry es inigualable, no hay discusión.❤👑
SP can never be replaced but amongst others..Arnel has the widest, clearest and no effort high notes. Amazing!
well said
Yup!
Agreed
Not necessarily with this song, but Deen Castronovo should be considered, because there are videos of him singing others like "Still They Ride" and "Open Arms." And when Neal put Journey Through Time together a few years ago, Deen sang lead the whole time and nailed it.
but he can't reach 5 octave like Steve Perry. he tries and he can't
PERRY and PINEDA are OUTSTANDING👏👏👌
めんばーがみとめてボーカルに据えた以上はピネダをファンは認めざるをえないだろう！
Steve and only Steve. The 12 year old me still has his poster on the Wall.
There will only be and always be Steve Perry and Journey.❤
Steve Perry is a National Treasure he can't be replaced ever. But I'm happy to see Journey can continue with Arnel.

There is only "one" ☝️ Steve Perry!! But I feel bad about the negative rap that Arnel gets from many people. It's clear that Augeri and Soto struggle on the high notes that Arnel hits with ease. To many of his critics, it's hard to accept the fact that although appearance doesn't match the sound that comes out of his mouth - he is still the best journey vocalist after Steve. Many would prefer to pretend to be tone deaf. They'd prefer to see a struggling average white vocalist than to accept a pitch perfect sound coming out of a little asian singer...
This is hard to believe, but there is truth in it.
Let's say end this journey band so no more criticism comparing Steve perry to Arnel pinada. Steve I guess left or didn't want to play so journey the band wants to continue playing, performing so they did with different front men's and ended u with Arnel that now is and still the front man of journey..
Very true
They hate them coz they said They are not sounds like Perry but when they Discovered Arnel who sounds almost Perry ... Perry fans still angry coz they said He is just a copycat of Perry ...
But in reality Arnel almost sounds like the many Singer everytime He sang other song .
Truth!
Those who think Arnel or the other replacement singers sound as good as Steve Perry haven't listened to any of his albums before 1982. His voice was untouchable.
Man that was a long time ago. Steve Perry is one overcooked steak away from a heart attack everytime he sings.
Clearly, you haven't listened to Arnel lately...his wife reached out to Celine D for help stating Arnel was struggling...and she recommended some tea mix for him...Arnel is sweet but he wasn't ever what Steve was...and now his steak is cooked too.@@orchidmalevolence9726
Doesnt take much to be better than perry he sucked and always will
Steve Perry... Often emulated but never duplicated... There will never be another Steve Perry he is The Voice.....❤️🎶
Steve Perry and that voice. He was the reason Journey became so popular in the 80s. I wish he would return to the group.😢

Steve is the King of Voice! Arnel is following close behind. Both are stellar.
All excellent but the original...Steve Perry holds so much memories and emotions....you cannot replace that vocally
Arnel Pineda next to Steve Perry..both great and amazing..❤
Arnel’s voice is the closest to Steve ‘s for us oldest fans.
Steve Perry no doubt about it.
Steve was and will always be the voice of Journey!
Each singer is unique. All I can say is , Arnel has saved the band as he is extra talented. Arnel has an amazing voice and can hit high notes with ease. Kudos Arnel!
They would be unique if they didn't copy a style of someone else
no he hasn't their records tanked , their shows are a big karaoke sing a long. Neil and Jon are to blame
Arnel can't sing "Still They Ride" or "Mother, Father". He is missing the high, melodic register to truly carry most of the songs. He goes "husky" a lot. By that, it means he opens his throat and drops the register and tonal quality. He's good, no doubt; just not quite enough to truly replace SP.
Nobody "saved the band". They are just a karaoke version of their former selves and are able to line Schon's pockets.

Journey is just not Journey without Steve Perry. I grew up with Steve, listened loved this band and Steve's outstanding vocals. Arnel is definitely second and fantastic. But Steve is Journey to me and always will be....
You got that right!!!
I know Steve. But why did he left the group?
Special and very talented people will hit those pitches. Getting Steve Perry tone is only done by Steve Perry -and it's beyond special.
Mga bobo ba kayo? Hindi ninyo alam na noong pumasok si arnel sa banda journey ay sinabihan sya na gawin ung original o yung trademark na istilo ng grupo? At hinde ninyo ba alam kung gaano kahirap ito gawin, kaya dapat ninyo hangaan si arnel dahil nagagawan nya ng maayos at perpekto trabaho para ipagpatuloy ang legasiya ng journey, kaya kahit ano sabihin ninyo mga tanga kayo ay mas mahusay si arnel kay perry kasi mas may dedikasyon sya trabaho at pinanindigan nyang gawin ito ng halos 15 taon mga gunggong,itranlate ninyo mga tanga
That's a given. SP is Journey. But Arnel gave justice and continued the legacy and kept the fire burning.
Steve Perry was Journey.
Journey's songs are so good that most who sing them make them sound good. When Steve sings them, we all get goosebumps and it takes us back. Arnel is close but just not the same. Younger people who don't have the memories associated with Journey may not agree.
Bec each of them is unique thats why theres no comparison.
I still have every single Journey Album and one from Japan. I have the Atari video game I slept out on the sidewall In Phoenix to get tickets/ went two nights in a row that time.

I once drew a picture of Steve Augeri and tweeted it at him. He retweeted it and gave me a ton of compliments. It warmed my heart so much. Great guy.
Magaling parin Ang Aming kababayan
I dont know how, but for me the messages of this song delivered by Arnel Pineda, he sing with his heart
What singer 'comparison'?!!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 ONE GOAT! 🙌🏻 #TeamPerry
There will always be Steve but Arnel is the one keeping the legacy going! His vocals and range is amazing!
Among the vocalist, only Arnel Pineda give me the chills.
The closest to the real thing Steve Perry.
some people give him way to much credit. he is a paid singer. Jon and Neil are in control of EVERYTHING
@@Calypso231you're all over the place bitching behind a screen. Just give Arnel the respect he deserves to be in the band. Steve Perry is the original sound, Arnel continued that legacy. Why the hate?

Without Steve Perry Journey would never have become the band that they did. Arnel is great no doubt, but Steve will forever be the voice of Journey, especially for us from the 80s.
Omg. When it was arnel’s turn, I got goosebumps
Still no one can replace the original Steve Perry..😍

After Steve Perry, Arnel crushes it. He's got the sound and the spirit and you can tell that he cares. We saw them a few years ago and they put on a great show with Arnel.
1. Steve Perry 2. Arnel Pineda 3. Steve Augeri 4. Jeff Scott Soto Perry knew how to pull emotion from every word. He sang each word as if they were the most important.
I totally agree .... Perry is always a Journey man, but I love Arnel too
yup......Steve was the mold that all others were cast from. : )
Augeri voice too thin , straining way too hard
Jeff Scott: Good loud voice but too rock starish maybe early Journey
Arnel : better, good pipes but lacks the softness of Steve
@@alfredooliva5175 and ultimately paid the price by blowing out his voice. They worked with Arnel on avoiding this.
Steve Perry by far is the best
If you've ever seen Steve Perry sing in person, you would never forget it. Never. I was completely blown away by how much of himself he put into his performance and how absolutely incredible his voice sounded. When he credited Pineda for his contribution to Journey at the Hall of Fame induction, he showed pure class. When I saw Journey back in the 70's. I had some of the best concert seats I'd ever had and can still actually hear him singing if I close my eyes. Magical.
No one can replace Steve Perry. He is and always will be numberc1
I miss steve perry in journey but. Arnel pineda is the second steve perry in journey
Arnel Pineda has an amazing voice! He is already 54yrs old but can still hit high notes.💕
No he can't.
@george bent..
Arnel can still hit the high notes at 54 yo..
He still has the stamina to run around the stage, jump and fly! night after night after night aftet night after night, singing the repertoire of like 7 or 8 songs?
And he continued the legacy for 15 years after Steve left..
When he joined Journey, concert tours were always a success, and tickets olweiz sold out..
We love love you Arnel 💙💙💙
The clarity of arnels diction and even the emotion is superb but no one can replace the original Steve,
Steve perry is the best 2nd is arnel pineda thats all
@@rodrigolacampuenga1050 where is steve now? if he's the best?
There will never be another Steve Perry.
I just came across this today and Steve Perry is the man everyone else don't quite measure up!
For me nothing beats Steve Perry but the last one is next to Steve Perry!
No comparing… ❤️Steve Perry!!!!!!
Arnel has the Heart of a Lion. Him & Steve Perry share the same spirit of rock!
Arnel Pineda la MEJOR ELECCIÓN!! 🎶❤️
Don’t forget Deen Castronovo. Amazing singer for Journey, and drummer as well. The dude has unbelievable range and hits the notes with ease and feeling WHILE drumming.
Deen is beyond underrated.
ya the after thought they brought back to try to save the band/ how is that working for them?

Replacing Steve Perry is like trying to replace Freddie Mercury in Queen or Paul McCartney in the Beatles!!!!!

Steve Perry set the standard, no doubt. I was actually surprised to hear how good Steve Augeri and Jeff Scott Soto sounded, even though I saw JSS front Journey many years ago. What blew me away, though, was Arnel. That dude has some pipes! Wow.
Agreed but I did notice that his breath control wasn't as perfect as Steve's was but he is still a perfect replacement and singer for Journey.

Steve Perry is my fave of all time no need to say more. Arnel is so talented, charismatic and high energy he brought back to Journey. Respect!!!
Steve perry's performance compare during his younger days is quit difference, but as an original singer of the band is a big factor also.
ME: Read the Title…giggled, because DUH…clicked on the video but immediately paused it because DUH. But I’m gonna help you out. There is a very talented, humble man who has a voice that you recognize as soon as you hear him - he’s also the only reason you’ve ever heard of Journey. His name is Steve (The Voice) Perry! Hope this helps you. I’m going to find a video
The other guys nearly matched Steve's smoothness, but always came off sounding like impersonators. Arnel, who ironically WAS a tribute band singer, has evolved into his own phrasing while still honoring the originals. He brings an edge and real passion to his performances, and hits those high notes really clean and precise. What a find. Don't be angry - Steve can't do these songs anymore, and they deserve to continue being sung.
It’s crazy. I was actually kinda mad when I first heard Arnel. It was a combination of “he’s incredible” and “he’ll never be Steve.” But knowing what all he’s been through since joining them and watching him honestly just get better and better, I just love listening to him now. He’s really, really good and makes these songs feel alive again for me.
neither can Arnel. I can tell with the first note it isn't Steve Perry
stop w/ the hate
You can't be better than the person you are trying to imitate. That is just common sense

I love Journey and saw them with Steve, Steve and Arnel. Always a great concert. A voice is unique thing and growing up with Steve Perry’s voice leaves me in awe.
Imagine the pressure on Arnel after one of the most incredible voice there is: the one of Steve Perry! He does a really really good job, respect. And yes, Perry’s voice is one of a kind ❤
Hello Laurence,
how're you doing?
Your comments caught my attention
and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you!
It's nice meeting you here.
and that is why he is a singer or hire. he doesn't think in this ban he is told!
Let's not forget about Kevin Chalfant who filled in for Steve Perry for a while in 1993. He is from Streator Illinois 30 minutes from me! He still has his pipes and still can sing all the old Journey tunes! He opened for guys like Peter Frampton. He also sang for The Storm band (with Steve Smith on drums) for years with a main hit "Karate Tiger" or "Hold On to the Vision" which was a movie title track fo Blood Dragon. He also did work with Bryan Adams, Neal Schon and others! In 2003 he toured as the lead singer of The Alan Parsons Live Project. He also produced many solo albums. Some pretty impressive stuff! Check out a LIVE outdoor concert from him and his band (Journey Experience) in Belgium! on youtube type in Kevin Chalfant and a few vids down is his outdoor concert! (His keyboard player is my friend!)
Always Steve Perry. Grew up watching the videos on MTV, movies with their music on the soundtrack ( love Vision Quest), listening on the radio, buying their records and tapes and posters. Unless you lived in that time, you probably won't understand.
There is only one Steve Perry, and these will always be HIS songs. While the other guys did a voice copy, no-one can ever do that successfully. Steve Perry's voice and stage presence are something he brought to Journey, and unfortunately for Journey and their fans, he took everything he brought to the band with him when he left. Thankfully we still have access to the original singer and his incredible talent on their early albums. That music is just as amazing to listen to today.
Couldn't agree more!!!
C'mon man arnel save the band and the legacy.i just notice of journey fan being racist to arnel pineda.
@@vraylesabile5212 WTF is it with the race card? Just because people like the original singer more than the current one, doesn't make them racist. There was nothing racist said about AP. You people jump to retarded conclusions when you hear something you don't like or agree with. And yes SP is better then AP. There is a reason why SP is called "The Voice". Take your race card and shove it back in your wallet.. Or better yet just destroy it. Life would be much better for everyone.
@@vraylesabile5212 Why do you have to bring race into this? Maybe you're the racist if that's seriously the only thing you think about?
Steve Perry’s voice is a class of its own, unique and unparalleled. There will never be another Steve Perry but Arnel Pineda has the best voice and intensity among the rest.🌹🌹🌹
Arnel Pineda is the best replacement
Arnel has a great voice!
Nobody can replace Steve Perry but Arnel is pretty damn good also.
Mr. Perry will always have the edge for three reasons.
1. He wrote them. They were designed for his voice so it’s a perfect marriage between voice and content.
2. Nostalgia. You can’t escape his shadow and you hear his voice still everyday on the radio compared with the others.
3. He was simply the best.
Perry and Pineda
arnel are too good
It will always be Steve Perry for me
ohhhh no. steve is the voice...period
What it comes done to is their relentless attempts to replicate the voice that started it all.
Steve will always be my favorite, but Arnel is a damn good singer and he can replicate Steves voice almost perfectly.

Steve P helped write a bunch of the best Journey songs. That says alot. So he should feel them the most. The ones we all say we love the best. Only The Young, Ask The Lonely and all the great songs from Escape(love the song), Frontiers, Raised On Radio, ETC.
I found Journey in 1980 in high school. Because he co wrote the material, Steve P = Journey 4 m3!!!
