Gerry Gittelson, LA Daily News: "What a trip! 30 years later rock icon Journey is BIG as ever. SOLD OUTS at Irvine & 2 LA shows. That's 25k plus tickets. It's one of the year's biggest comeback phenomenons. Arnel Pineda was in fine form, a bundle of energy, constantly running the stage, jumping around, doing high kicks & hit every glorious high note with zeal & enthusiasm. Arnel owned every inch of the stage. The finale barely saw a single patron leaving early. Total SUCCESS!!"
Eso es un show, eso es un grupo de verdad con música y canciones de primera y un primerizo vocalista que se lució en nuestro festival, Arnel es sin duda el mejor reemplazo de Perry
Legendary music producer Kevin Shirley said "I was stunned at Arnel, who is a monster vocalist. He's the real deal. Just phenomenal! Just got back from Vegas last night, after mixing 7 new Journey songs. They're outstanding. For the record, I think Arnel is 'the business!' The guy can really sing! He handles the ballads with SO much heart & belts the rockers as hard & melodically, as anyone I have heard. The songs are sensational, wonderfully crafted & deep. And I'm being serious.." ...
Esta fue la primera vez que se presentaron con Pineda, en vivo... y al tipo lo descubrieron por RU-vid.. ¡Imagínense lo feliz que estaba, corriendo por todo el escenario, y tratando de mantener la escencia y el legado de Perry! Me gustó esta presentación.
Ya me lo puedo imaginar para presentarse ahí tiene que tener presencia gracia así como voz y carisma para cantar y presentarse en vivo y claro lo ayudó el nombre de la banda "journey" pero este tipo propiamente tiene mucho talento y esa gran voz es impresionante y tiene mucho contacto con la gente apenas para lograr está majestuosa presentación
antes de cantar journey en el festival de viña uno de los comentaristas de la farandula de la television chilena djo ...."¿ y quien es journey....? ESTO ES JOURNEY ANIMAL DE PRIMERA ESTO ES JOURNEY .....
El tema no es que haya reggaetoon o no el tema es que viña de pasar a ser un magico midnight especial Paso a ser una porqueria tipo billword o grammy latino
El reggaeton también es válido amigo... Si está donde está, es porque se ganó su posición en la sociedad chilena lo queramos o no. Mas mente abierta compadre
Arnel Pineda looks so young here and the the band is so wide awake and the audience looked amazing. May the members of the band live well and continue to perform until their later years.
You gotta love Arnel Pineda...!I still don't get why people have to compare singers, guitar players,etc...! Steve Perry was awesome...Arnel is awesome,too! It's all about the music, people!!! Kudos to Arnel for reaching his lifelong dream!
Wow!!! What a vying performer! His very dynamic and active! Makes the crowd alive! He makes Journey really ALIVE! This is the first time i saw this guys are enjoying playing since the absence of Perry.
Holy shit, they said that he sounded just like perry but I never imagined it was going to be like this. He's fucking amazing. If I hadn't seen who was singing I would've said it was perry
Arnel is just doin the right thing...the stage is so huge so he maximized it,used it to his advantage to reach the audience.Not everyone can jump,run and still hit high notes when fatigue sets in already.You must be an extra ordinary person to do just that and this guy is one indeed.
WHEW!! That's what I'm talking about! You really made it your stage, Arnel. HAHAHA!!! You are really rocking the house down!! You sing, you jump, hype the crowd, shake hands with fans, run all over the stage & can still sing those high notes!! AAAAHHHHH!!! YOU REALLY ARE THE ONE!!! IKAW NA TALAGA!!! MABUHAY & GOD BLESS!!!
Este concierto fue de principio a fin impresionante, tanto en cada uno de los músicos de Journey como la primera actuación de Arnel en vivo, realmente pocos y digo muy pocos cantantes pueden entregar este derroche de energía y voz de verdad en un escenario como el de Viña, Arnel realmente le has dado un tercer aire a Journey y eso se agradece, para los que lo critican este tipo tiene una técnica vocal perfecta para el genero que interpreta y se acopla y afiata con la banda de manera que no se extraña en nada a Perry
Vaya, me he llevado una grata sorpresa al oir esta versión de Don't Stop Believin' (una de mis canciones favoritas) con Arnel Pineda... Su voz tiene un parecido impresionante a la de Steve Perry, la verdad me gusto mucho... Yo los vi hace 2 años aca en México, pero espero puedan pronto de regreso con esta nueva alineación... Gracias por el video!!!
por eso los 80s fueron únicos mejores bandas ,mejor pop ,mejor rock, mejores cantantes vivan los 80s ojala eduquemos a nuestros hijos para que tengan un tiempo en su vida para apreciar esta clase de música
"I was stunned at Arnel, who is a monster vocalist. He's the real deal. Just phenomenal! Forget the naive skeptics, Arnel is 'the business!' The guy can really sing! & handles the ballads with SO much heart & belts the rockers as hard & melodically, as anyone I have heard." Legendary music producer of icon artists & rock bands, Kevin Shirley. Indeed "the incredible pipes of their Filipino lead singer"... Arnel as admired by leading industry reviewer Bob Lefsetz
Los aplausos nunca serán suficientes para este Himno del Rock. Arnel increible, más que extraordinario; pero no iguala a Steve. De la banda ni que decir.
i was there screaming and singing as loud as possible!!, arnel made an amazing performance and the band played like they used to do with perry... an unforgetable night.
Cuando traían buenos artistas al festival, es triste ver que en ocasiones pasadas en anfiteatro de la Quinta Vergara se ha llenado de puro reggaetonero :( Saludos desde México, amigos chilenos :)
don't deny it, Arnel is helping to reborn the band and the fans. Your generation in Journey Pery was in the last page of the history. So, it's our turn now. Arnel Pineda is THE VOICE of our generation physically raw rocking on stage.
The simplest moments in life can bring the most happiness.. This Cali Sat, I've been mesmerized to addiction watching & soaking in the Arnel mania. It's soul-enhancing, spiritually satisfying and absolutely awesome.. Woo hoo! indeed.. Same when Neal Schon perused the YT vids & found a solid gold...& the rest history (Hey hitcoke, thanx U r gonna be YT's most viewed today!)
This video came out playing and I was listening to it and thought Steve Perry was singing. When I looked up and it wasn't Steve Perry I was pleasantly surprised. And I starting buying Journey LPs in 1978 when Steve Perry started as the singer in the group.
Life's indeed..a Journey They glow a global symphony We hear all the music Faithfully Stand with Journey wholeheartedly We're all inspired After All These Years Strengthen & endure we do amidst the fears Certainly now & ever, we Don't Stop Believing Count the blessings, life's to enjoy & worth living Never Walk Away from your Wildest Dreams D'xcitement grows, the passion screams ROCK ON! life's gr8, lets celebr8!!
For this guy it must be a dream come true to be singing with his favoriite group & i must say that when i saw arnel that night, i took my hat off before him. he really made me feel the chills on my skin. He really Impressed the chilean audience with his voice & by the way he treated people grabbing their hands... very humble guy electrifying and has a lot of charisma. Go On Arnel!! Thumbs UP Man!!
increible banda , que semejantes musicos me parece increible , arnel pineda es un excelente cantante , da la talla con los musicos de journey saludos : luis
Esta cancion es la historia de mi vida.Journey grandes musicos.Grandes canciones. Neal Schon es un guitarrista Extraordinario.toca Fenomenal. Que gran espectaculo ; emocionante de principio a fin.
I think he does a great job of stepping in and filling those shoes. I,d have no problem paying to see the new version of Journey just to hear there classics. I,v seen Foghat with both Lonesome Dave(the original singer) and 2 other singers and enjoyed every show.
i cant believe what i saw and hear this group is amazing.....full of energy and power.... mabrook for a great performance hope you visit our country as well in united arab emirates
Great version!! I think if people listen to, and NOT watch this video, only the TRULY hard core Steve Perry fans would know it wasn't him. Never heard this before today but really impressed.
