My wife and i just left a Journey concert at Jones Beach, Long Island. Where is Steve Perry? Bring him back! This new guy just doesn’t cut it at all, in several ways. People were streaming out after a few songs. Foreigner was the real deal tonight.

I loved Journey since the 70′s. I loved Steve Perry’s vocals. Sorry that he’s not with the band anymore. He’s truely missed. But I still love the band. I saw Journey on the today show and when I saw the new lead singer I was very amazed how much he sounded like Steve Perry. I hope he will be with the band for a long time. I wish Arnel Pineda the best. Good luck to him and the band.

I “LOVE” Journey I purchased the greatest hits more times than I can remember, because it kept getting legs and disapearing. This newest member is fantastic if you close your eyes you can almost hear Steve Perry singing again. Hope they come to a Venue near me.

I watched Arnel’s “Open Arms” performance on Youtube, and all I have to say is WOW!!! I love Journey and their songs. I would sing their songs on Karaoke all the time. Arnel sounds sooo fluid, and I was literally entranced by his voice. I cannot wait to see Journey in concert when I get home on leave from Iraq. Good job guys!!!

He’s an awesome singer.. No wonder he was chosen as Journey’s lead singer.. I hope, as others do, that Pineda will bring success to this awesome band and I believe he will.. He indeed makes his fellow Filipinos proud..

The Philippines is a third world country where people struggle to make it from day-to-day. Filipinos are very talented but opportunities does not easily come by. So, when you see someone with a humble beginning like Arnel make it big, it is but natural we (Filipinos) celebrate his success with great pride. I’m sure Journey could have found another lead singer from countries like India, etc. Arnel is just so lucky to be the one to have been choosen.

for the past 4 weeks now, I have been listening to the re born journey band. I gotta tell you, my hair are all standing up like being electrified by this guy arnel.. we all know how perry and schon sound, but this guy arnel is AWESOME. I have listend to Journey back in the days and few songs i like , lights and faithfully. but I was more of led zep and pink, dio and you know the rest. Remember those ‘Day on the Green ” concert.
Here’s my point, most of the band in those days are now pretty much gone, you see them every now and then at the fair and summer concerts. The new generation of rock n roll are way much different, its not as simple as it was…Now, when Arnel was discovered by Neil it was FAITH. Neil must have some good karma up there and he was given that destiny to see Arnel.God must have planned it. Do you realized how many people are so happy with this
re born band. Great, this is one of the last pioneer in rock n roll.
Arnel, is 40 and running around the stage like in the old days.
Welcome Back Journey, you guys sound so much better now. ARNEL
is a miracle. you made so many people happy. Neal, thank you for giving Arnel the chance. Arnel thank you for resurecting journey…
