no i dont think so, journey's just one of the band he's covering in manila, besides he's like a decade younger than most of the band members in journey. and aside from that, ross valory said arnel only knows like a few of their materials so it says a lot about this guy's talent.
Do you really think he would be singing with Journey if he didn't sound like Perry? It's ok that Journey has decided to continue with a Perry sound-alike, but isn't it possible the band auditioned many, many other singers before finding "the right one"? Is it possible Arnel sounds so much like Perry because he spent years listening to and imitating him?
People who dont like arnel pineda go get your old Sperry album & die to your hearth's content but the band must go on and try new voice time changes so as people.
Louvers, you're one fries short of a happy meal. You are the idiot and the 12 yr old. Call it whatever you like . He's singing with Journey aint he? I bet their Karaoke too huh, just playing air guitar, drums keyboard? Nobody said anything 'bout SP not being an icon.. but where is he now? Moron! His concerts are sold out at the NURSING HOME/ HOME FOR THE AGED go see him , security's tight they give u a white wristband so u dont come out! BTW they give BEDPANS too so u dont leave ur spot LMAO!
Wow! What are you people, a bunch of 12 year olds? Arnel is a very good singer and the new material stands alone. Having said that, my comment was regarding doing a cover album of Perry/Journey classics. BTW, it's spelled karaoke moron. Steve Perry is a music Icon and Arnel would be nothing if it weren't for his very good "karaoke" impersonation of a REAL rock legend. Poor record sells and virtually no radio play will prove my point just fine. Now go play with your lego blocks kids and STFU!!!
lpgm..if you are willing to travel all the way to superwalmart in dixon ca (i-80 east sacramento, small town in between vacaville and davis) approximate miles...ummm about 140 from union city you can find some because it's a small town and that's where i recommend people looking for revelation album
to buy and they get it. i just happen to stop there on the way home from tahoe and found some in stock! good luck though!
you need to open up your louvers to let the light comes in your dark room. LOL! people who sterotype an asian singer as kareoke singer is just being ignorant and arrogant..bet you.. you don't even know what's the origin and the meaning of the word "kareoke" yet you still uses its term
in describing something based on your clueless
idea. LOL pathetic old school journey fan move
on..gas is already over $4/gallon!
There´s only one of everybody. Where in the story has anybody said that he joined the band to sound like Perry? He was called to joined the band and sing. Period.
To be quite honest AP is a good singer, but they should have left the classics alone. I won't buy it and Neal Schon is the main reason I won't He said Fuck Steve Perry in an interview with GQ it was quite a childish thing to say. Neal you would have never had the success without Steve Perry, so go on be a conceited prick but the truth is deep inside you know SP was the key that opened the door to your success.
wow two weeks ago I left that, I have to say after reading an article w/Neil my opinions have changed. I am still a fan but i will defend the Perry Legacy. He deserves that and more I am not here to compare..
Arnel has all the best parts of SP's voice quality minus the ego problems of SP! I love when bands don't let one hold out(lead singer)stop the band from going on with their career! Great job Neal in finding Arnel.....Neal is such an underated guitar player, amazing melodic sense to his screaming solos with such melodic taste and skill....
