It is human nature to compare vocalists of a band you love. And if one you liked gets sacked in an unpleasant way it is natural to feel bad for them.
Now Journey have gone with Arnel he is bound to be compared to those who went before.

Arnel sings great IMO. He looks the part of a rock singer. He has the moves. He sings the new songs well. He is so cheerful it's infectious.
The new songs are catchy.
So that's all good.

I have not played the re-records CD so I cannot compare Arnel's singing to Steve Perry's on those classic songs directly.

But, what I will say is,
there are people who can sing well and there are great singers. The difference is subtle.

People who can sing well = a vocalist who sings on key, enunciates clearly so we can tell what they are singing, and sounds good.

People who are great singers = all of the above, but you don't just HEAR what they sing.......you FEEL it.

1) Why would Neal change the name of his band?
2) This is the best state the band has been in since 1983.
3) From it's present condition, I hope you're right...I don't want anything to change.
