The sound of Journey songs is TIMELESS--- it does not matter who sings it !! BUT-- Journey is lucky to have found Arnel Pineda !!AP has that tenor unique masculine voice that has a natural rasp that makes it amazing !! He masters the song perfectly and is able to sing like in-studio recording while he is doing Concerts on LIVE---night after night !!! AP"s vocal versatility, talent, and unbelievable energy are the fuel that keeps the Journey Concert rocking for many years !! I lived through SP years --but he left Journey, band, so I move on, and so as SP ! Now, with AP around and delivering Journey amazingly well songs to maintain Journey's legacy-- why not? After all, SP left 30 years ago.. Some Bashers who are still hoping for SP's comeback---should understand that SP publicly claimed that he is NOT rejoining Journey ( even though AP publicly claimed that he would STEP BACK if SP rejoins Journey--BUT SP said NO in many of his 2018 Interviews.. SP plays SOLO now. ++! With NO one keeping its legacy and NO songs around on shows---- maybe the song will be forgotten, same with the band that goes along with it---and NO additional pay for SP ( because SP gets a cut each time there's Tour Concerts ! ) So, for a handful of bashers out there that want AP to fail----it's not worth it!! Schon and J Cain are NOT stupid to get a new frontman just to please a handful of bashers out there who some of them are racists! There are millions of people around the world that Journey had performed with AP loves and accepted AP and wish to see AP again on LIVE Concerts !! To get another steady frontman may take years--- at that time, maybe there's no more Journey at all !! AP is Journey's frontman for 15 years( from 2007--2022 and counting.. He had performed all over the world and millions of people had accepted him because they love Journey songs and he sings incredibly well each time on LIVE Concert! ######### Note: Lines that appear on top of my comment above is NOT my intention, I just have computer problem lately..
