Hardest song to sing In the world. At least top 10. Good Luck singing this classic. EVER TRY? Even Arnel is having a hard time, BUT ALWAYS CRUSHES. ARNEL NEEDS SOME HAIR PRODUCT TO LOOK LIKE ROCK STAR
That was the worst joice Neal made by making that dude the lead singer. He's always off key and can't carry a tune!!! I quit going to their shows and stopped listening to journey since they picked him up! Journey always has been my favorite group, but they really could have picked someone a lot better for a front man!!!!!!!!
He was still trying to perform his best, you can hear it in his voice, he was struggling. All singer’s have experienced this at some point. I know how it feels. I fronted a band for 9 years and just couldn’t do it anymore. Did a reunion last year and even then my vocals were not as good as when I’d first started
Fronting that band is an impossible task in the long term. Arnel did a great job as did Steve Augeri for a short while. Steve Perry set an impossible mark that he found that he soon couldn't achieve. It is probably time to find the next guy.
When I was in my 20's, singing this song was doable but tough. In my 50's....NO :) I Feel for him, Steve and anyone else in their late 30's, 40's 50's etc... still trying to sing Journey songs.
Schon"s very sustained pauses during his extraordinary runs are stellar. Also throws picks within not compromising tract, within timing. Age-14 extraordinary runs. Riffs much earlier.
Bummer...he does sound very tired and strained. Should not sing when sick. Steve Perry just had that endless power somehow. I have heard Arnel sound much better.
The kids did a great job and I’m probably going to get a lot of shit for the next comment he sounded so tired singing and maybe he was because normally he’s never that far off pitch or flat however you want to describe it, I’m not looking for an argument , I think he’s a great singer it’s just not the best version of him singing this Dean absolutely kills it when he sings it plus playing drums! And again he may be extremely tired .
Dang Arnel's flat, and tired. I feel his pain. Love that guy. Singer's are mortal folks. Night after night after night, age eventually catches us, and the lofty heights of Journey vocals wait for no man. Vocal chords are flesh. They stretch. They tear. I know that pain personally and can tell you it is not pleasant to lose that superior ability. That's the wisdom of Steve Perry. He knew the time had come, and the ship had sailed. No fools errand for Steve and I respect him for it. Dream come true for Kyle no doubt. Good for him.
Nice comment. Been say'n that all along! Steve Perry was 28 when Infinity came out. He eventually knew it was time to say goodbye. Sad, but hey, I'm grateful for all they gave.😌
I agree 100%. I noticed it right away as well. And you’re exactly right, the vocals are tough for anyone at any age. He’s bound to get burned out. The band should see this and take a break. Might not be a bad idea to do less shows per tour as well.
This is something many vocalists don't understand. You have to be more careful with your voice as you age. Fergie Frederiksen was able to maintain more or less the same singing voice he had despite battling with cancer and ultimately being defeated by it. As per the "wisdom" of Steve Perry, you're looking at a guy that effectively destroyed his voice due to drinking and substance addiction and can barely sing these days. A better example of vocal longevity is Bruce Dickinson. His operatic training helped him preserve it and also maintain after recovering from a cancerous tumor found at the back of his tongue.
you're absolutely right. He sounds tired and sometimes out of pitch. I wonder if he had a good vocal coach. Much of what is wrong here I think could be solved with good technique, and I feel he sometimes just lets go and ...whatever!
@@MrRicardobotti Pretty sure they already solved it electronically. Arnel is genuinely a great singer, but today there are ways to make sure there's never a sour note. Not talking about recordings and such. It's really him, but with in-line electronic "adjustment." On the same note, Taylor Swift is not a very good singer a cappella. Really. There are snippets out there if you look
