I came across Arnel's band prior to Journey, "The Zoo". He sang a rendition of "Honestly" (better then I ever sang it I might add), and then I listened to him singing Journey songs as well.I said"this guy could sing for Journey!" I thought he would be perfect in Journey. A few months later I heard through my connections that Neal had heard Arnel soon after by run in. So, I'll take full credit for discovering Arnel and pitching him to Journey, indirectly:-) -Michael Sweet of STRYPER
Arnel's voice is a national treasure! He is great then (this video is 12 years ago) and now , 2020 , I think he will be singing as long as he is alive:)
I stumbled upon the Zoo one night when I couldnt sleep. I had no clue who they were. I was BLOWN away by how he nailed EVERY cover he did. That same night I emailed my friends and family to watch them perform. I later learned the whole Journey story (seems I live under a rock). My best friend said he saw him at the Superbowl. I am soooooo happy for him and wish him much success. Perhaps one of the greastest performers of our day. YOU ROCK AP!!!!!
due hello Morning Due my friend. Dont you just love those old videos of Arnel? I even have my great-granddaughter, who is 11, watching them. Even the younger generation loves Arnel.
i have watched Arnel Pineda performed in Olongapo City way back from the 1980's he was still in his early 20's then, im telling you guys HE ROCKS, HIS VOICE IS REALLY AMAZING if i compare him today.....
TRUE GIFTS COME FROM WITHIN AND PROJECTED OUTWARDLY FROM THE SOUL BECOME TRUE ONENESS..... THIS IS INCREDIBLE ! THANKYOU FOR SHARING THIS.. BLESSINGS TO ALL..
This is the first time ever hearing these guys and OMGoodness!!! They are awesome. It's so hard to reach those high notes of Michael Sweet, but my oh my if Arnel doesn't hit it. Great job guys!!!! Can't wait to see Journey next month in Houston.
haha...keep coming back to this classic/soulful and epic cover of Honestly by the brilliant tenor vox..mr.AP...always moved by his rendition of this song. 😲😓😢😭
I'm in love with this song only when heared sang by Arnel..ganda ng message pa...nakakainlove talaga!!whoohoooo superb POWERFUL VOICE!!STANDING OVATION..more more
His humility makes him fame. he indures from the past.and makes fellow filipinos proud.Simply, man has a unique gift of experience .. ideal example and determination. he earned that hardwork.. ♥
Happy New Year to all the fans of AP May you and your family be happy May God keep you healthy and wealthy May your days remain warm and sunny And may love and peace reign in your family. And most of all let 2009 be another great year for AP and JOURNEY!
Goosebumps galore!!! Your voice is magical Arnel!! This is a favorite of mine! I can't believe I found you singing it! And you sang the heck out of it!!!!
This is one of my fav song in my entire life and he gve justice to this song, far better than the original. I swear with no offense to STRYPER. I SWEAR...!
@janicesweet thank you so very much for Michael and Robert. I have been of them.since the first stryper album. God bless and God bless the sweet brothers and stryper
Not for nothing...but he's BEEN the lead singer for Journey for over 10 years!! Everyone (who follows rock music) should know that by now, and he's still kicking ass with Journey!!
Arnel is so profound in his singing style. So great Arnel. Keep rocking the world with you and Journey. Keep going and make wonderful songs. compose and show it to the world that sometime Hourney will receive a HALL of FAME award soon.
Grabe arnel super galing mo.lahat kaya mong kantahin.idol na idol kita.kailan kaya kita makikita ng personal.pardng imposible.dito kasi ako sa kuwait nakatira.
Memorable Christmas ito para sa akin. Dahil for the first time hindi ako nagluto at namili ng gifts kasi ang mga anakis ko ang nagluto at nagbigay ng gifts for everybody! Kahit na pang sampung scarf na gift ko, happy and grateful ako.
Soy de Chile y sabes?? Tu actuacion con Journey fue extraordinaria estube alli en viña vibrando con tus altos y bajos en una voz que se asemeja bastante a la de Stebens pero Stryper es otra cosa... no esta mal lo de Stryper pero sigue con el lugar en Journey eres extrordinario en eso
Though i love Micheal Sweet his high voice on To Hell with the Devil and In God we Trust albums unlike previous albums just sounded too sissy Your vocal choice was just so much better.
I thought this song was never meant to be sang by anyone but thge vocalist of Stryper, but the quality of the voice of this singer makes makes me think over. Stryper was a Cristian band. And the lyrics of the song expresses so. Excellent interpretation.
eto ang nagpapaalis ng stress ko sa buhay ang magandang boses ni Arnel, pag naririnig ko ang tinig niya nalilimutan ko pansamantala mga problema ko sa buhay sa totoo lang. Parang gumagaan ang pakiramdam ko. Hinde naman kasi pwedeng palagi na lang i-share ang problema sa mga friends minsan dyahe kaya mabuti na lang meron isang katulad ni Arnel na nagpapasaya at nagpapalimot sa mga problema.Mabuhay ka Arnel..ikaw ang ginawa kong inspirasyon habang ako'y malayo sa aking pamilya.Salamat sa iyo!
Buti na lang nag open ako ng HO kung di na miss kita. CALA DEAR I've missed u so much. I'm so happy ur back. Now I have u again in my life in the mroning when I'm having my coffee and at night before I go to slepp. This just made my night....Muaaaaahhhhh!!!
I agree myra!!!...It's not about being in a group or a clique...it's about friendship and sisterhood. That's what the Ds stand for. The bond between us is what makes us unique, neither distance or obstacles will interfere. To those lurkers!!...there are no issue just diferrence of opinions here. And definitely different personalities that makes us even more unique. Ultimately..the friendships made here is what really matters...I LOVE YOU Ds!!!!
He puts his own twist on songs, so they do not 100% sound like the original. I think he is doing the greatest job since Steve has said on sites he has become a recluse.
Arnel Voice look so very good and suited to all kinds of classic rock music even higher or low tenor voice they able to sing well... that's why neal schon no doubt to hire AP to journey band, and they got successful concert and counting with sold out tickets and stadium thats why AP get the journey album at the Platinum how so good. God Bless You All more power!
Kaiyak naman ang AZ concert. Sinabayan ng kidlat at kulog at hangin. Nabasa si PAPI at pati si Faz (ang piano) Pero si Neal tuloy ang tugtog kahit humahagupit aang ulan. Kanta pa rin, ayaw iwan ng fans. Noong natapos ang naudlot na concert ayaw pa ng Banda iwan tao. HOW TOUCHING TALAGA. PAPI INGAT LAGI!
im afraid he might not be able to do cover songs now, he is now the lead singer of JOURNEY, yes that journey with hits like dont stop believing and faithfully. he is Arnel Pineda.
Good morning Ds!!!....wow!..I am so touched by your warm wishes...ginaw sobra dito..frozen beauty ko...brrrrr!!!! Sorry pala silip and run ako kasi busy for the real world party....But I sooooo appreciate the greetings and wishes. My love to all of you....muaaaahhhhhh!!!!
Whew i love this video, i like than the stryper live version. Radio version of stryper is almost same but the voice of arnel soars high and clear than stryper. I like stryper's album with honestly way back on 80's. Maybe '86?...
This is Michael Sweet's mom and I can "Honestly" say that this guy is wonderful!!!
"Honestly" i thought Michael was your younger brother.
Thank you for giving birth to Michael Sweet. 💓💓💓
Janice Sweet
I LOVE your son as well.A man with pipes from the great Lord above. And what a beautiful comment to this. God Bless you and yours.
Janice Sweet. I always stop to watch whatever he is singing
your son havin a great vocals...nothin can compares him...
He is the lead singer of JOURNEY!!! Saw him at grasspop!!! THE BEST!!!
Arnel is one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. He is AMAZING!!! One of the greatest singers singing one of the most beautiful songs ever.

Arnel is indeed a talent. The boys at Journey liked him enough to sign him on.
I stumbled upon the Zoo one night when I couldnt sleep. I had no clue who they were. I was BLOWN away by how he nailed EVERY cover he did. That same night I emailed my friends and family to watch them perform. I later learned the whole Journey story (seems I live under a rock). My best friend said he saw him at the Superbowl. I am soooooo happy for him and wish him much success. Perhaps one of the greastest performers of our day. YOU ROCK AP!!!!!
Arnel must be a genius. How could anybody know and remember how to sing so many songs the way the original artists did?
The best "Non-Michael" version of Honestly that I've heard to date!
Excellent job.
WOW!!! Absolutely incredible!! Arnel nailed it!! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Stryper should be proud about this version. Congratulations!
From San Antonio Texas. Another gem. This is the first time I’ve seen this video. He is such a tremendous talent and this was before Journey.

If you can sing in long hour ,you cannot maintain the tone of your voice.
@janicesweet thank you so very much for Michael and Robert. I have been of them.since the first stryper album. God bless and God bless the sweet brothers and stryper
this is Arnel Piñeda, he is now the new lead singer of the band Journey just in case some of you didn't know...
Not for nothing...but he's BEEN the lead singer for Journey for over 10 years!! Everyone (who follows rock music) should know that by now, and he's still kicking ass with Journey!!
Arnel is so profound in his singing style. So great Arnel. Keep rocking the world with you and Journey.

Soy de Chile y sabes?? Tu actuacion con Journey fue extraordinaria estube alli en viña vibrando con tus altos y bajos en una voz que se asemeja bastante a la de Stebens pero Stryper es otra cosa... no esta mal lo de Stryper pero sigue con el lugar en Journey eres extrordinario en eso
Thank you Arnel Pineda and we are proud of you...Mabuhay!
Though i love Micheal Sweet his high voice on To Hell with the Devil and In God we Trust albums unlike previous albums just sounded too sissy Your vocal choice was just so much better.
The is exactly why he became the vocalist of Journey :D Arnel
Powerful voice sir Arnel Pineda ❤❤❤
I thought this song was never meant to be sang by anyone but thge vocalist of Stryper, but the quality of the voice of this singer makes makes me think over. Stryper was a Cristian band. And the lyrics of the song expresses so. Excellent interpretation.

Michael Sweet is a nice humble guy, too. Love his voice and his songs.
Sorry, Mike, but this guy has a tremendous voice. Kudos

Amazing - almost as good as the Stryper version. Isn't the lead singer now singing for Journey??
It might be way too late for this answer, but yes. This is Arnel Pineda before Neal discovered him.
@@inflam3 lol
He puts his own twist on songs, so they do not 100% sound like the original. I think he is doing the greatest job since Steve has said on sites he has become a recluse.
The best Journey lead singer of alltime
