I've heard the same thing. Neil Schon was impressed by the power of Arnel's voice when he saw this video. So then he sought one with Pineda singing a Journey song. Pineda's friend, Noel Gomez, had posted 64 of Zoo Band's songs to RU-vid. Schon found one of Arnel singing "Faithfully" and Journey's search for a new lead singer came to an end.
From San Antonio Texas. So greatfull to be able to see this video once more. The way he could sing even back then when he had no real training is amazing.
@@PatrickPMutuc from Texas. I agree. He has a natural talent. He doesn’t need to add anything to it. He is a beautiful person too, and that hasn’t changed through all these years. September 4, 2021.
Do you all know how many tourists and locals have seen Arnel from the Hardrock Cafe, Makati and saying OMG! THAT'S THE GUY IN MANILA, I WAS THERE AND SAW HIM BEFORE JOURNEY! AWSOME!! I was one of them. GOOD JOB ARNEL, SEE YOU AT PALA!
Thank you for re-uploading this. I thought this was lost for good when YT decided to delete ndgomezz. This video has a very special place in my heart. I found Arnel when I 'stumbled' on this clip looking for a video presentation of this song and what a joy it has been since that time!
arnel ...is good singer and humble......arnel keep up the goodwork..and more power...to u guys god bless u olwezzz......araw araw akong bnakinig sa boses mo....hehehhe....pride of cebu.....
Goosebumps...Arnel’s monster vocals are coming through despite the poor quality of the videos. Thank you for uploading it and all the other AP videos. They’re all amazing.
Grabeeeeee, Arnel, im so happy to see this video and think of what you have gone through and what you have achieved now. You were blessed because of your humbleness / humility / kindness. The AP fans/plokkers are so happy for you. Rock on!
well GOD Bless Arnel! you are now 1 of the best singer in the world, sana sumunod ako sayo, yung mga kanta mo kinakanta rin ng BAND namin but i guess your voice like Original kuha mo rin ang boses ni Dave Bickler...
You got to be vocally talented to imitate other voices. Arnel Pineda can manipulate his voice in a certain degree that is more suitable for singing rock music. That is why if you listen to both Lead singers singing the same song, everybody taste on music differentiates. I prepare the latter.check him out on youtube and type ' Survivor - Search Is Over (ZOO)'. It's awesome. Better than the original.
has anyone watched the movie rockstar? i think its starring mark whalberg and jen aniston. i think the movie very similar to arnel's story. only the movie was filmed first before this happened.
The filipino music industry or everyone else does not truly appreciate a fellow filipino, because if that was the case Arnel should have not gotten his fame through youtube and discovered by Journey. This really shows that filipinos are more concerned with looks rather than talent. Let's face it we have so many talented people in philippines, but we have to always wait for some other country to recognize that. Charice anyone?
This was the first video that neal schon saw and then he tried to search more for arnel until he finds more videos of him covering songs of Bon Jovi, heart, and journey offcourse
Don't get me wrong..this IS a fantastic cover, but let's not get crazy and say it's better than the original. Jimi Jamison of Survivor has long had one of the most soulful voices of the last 25 years. Please give credit where credit is due. All that being said..great job Arnel.
I disagree with you, it depends on the ears of the listeners. Its similar to the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Not all originals are the best it so happened that they got lucky because they were offered to record the song first.
Now lang ulit ako nakapag surf ng Arnel Pineda and now ko lang nalaman na suspended na pala ang account ni Arnel? original videos naman yung mga kanya ah. hmmmm
