When Journey introduced Arnel way back years ago and had their first concert at Hardrock in Las Vegas , Arnel’s voice was awesome. Fast forward many years later , his voice is not there anymore.
I think fans are more forgiving to Arnel lasting 17 years singing these hard songs. The fact that they can fill arenas and stadiums is a great testament.
You might not hear the rest of Journey as much, but trust me, their voices aren't what they used to be either. If he never left, Steve Perry wouldn't have a voice in the present day.
I mean this with the upmost respect to Arnel. He's had quite the "journey". But he's done. His voice has crapped out. He was great when he first joined. But singing those songs night after night all these years have taken its toll.
He needs two months rest no singing, I'm afraid it's going to damage his vocals which is sad. If I were him , he better not renew that contract with journey.
