To each his own ...perhaps those ticket prices are worth it for fans
of these people!!
I saw Heart Fri and didn't pay that much, but would have~ for Heart!!

As for him touring w/out Journey, nothing they/Journey do/allow surprises me ...lol@RWF!! :wink:

I'm pretty sure that those dates are targeted specifically for Filipino audiences, right? It's a smart business decision to package with a well known female singer and go into markets with a heavy Filipino population and do the intimate theatre gig (where the wealthy Filipino Americans will have the money to pay for those tickets).....As for Arnel resting his voice, I don't believe it was the act of singing that was fatiguing his voice, moreso the act of singing Journey songs, right?

Great points all around Jeremey. A sure fire sellout= Filipino singer+Filipino crowds. However, what's Neal going to say when Pineda outdraws his band 10-1? You may all scoff at that, but I know that guy and he won't like it one bit. Whatever, I shouldn't have even responded, as I knew Chubby would reply with a ridiculous myopic Pineda post. I forgot Mr. Pineda is a superstar now :roll: , and that he sells out wherever he plays. Stupid of me to even post in this thread. There is absolutely no sense of reality regarding Journey and more pointedly, Pineda. You Pinheads or whatever you call yourselves are every bit as bad as the Perry Loons.

Arnel has a huge following right now. You can't go into any place and ask Filipino's in there if they know who Arnel Pineda is and they don't know, because every Filipino I've asked know exactly who he is, where he came from, and love him. Yet only three years ago, I asked a number of my Filipino friends and co-workers if they knew who Arnel Pineda was, they just gave me this blank stare and said they had no idea who I was talking about.

So yeah, I can completely see Arnel drawing huge numbers of fans regardless. Hell, Rip aint even a Filipino but he's about the biggest fan of Arnel's I've ever seen. Rip reminds me of me.... but 24 years ago when I first saw Arnel and the rest of the band performing live. We were all so young back then, we're almost too old to be doing this type of thing now though.

There are a lot of Filipinos who not only don't follow him here but a lot who don't even care for him singing in Journey as they grew up listening to the Steve Perry era of the band or aren't into the whole cover singer aspect of it. I'm sure most know who he is but that's a bit different then actually being a fan. Don't get ahead of yourself with his popularity here in the states. Without any homegrown success, he is just another cover singer to a lot of Pinoys. Most of my Filipino coworkers were into him when I brought it up about him being in Journey but that was more about patriotism than fandom. Six months after I gave them boot DVDs of the Chile show, they were asking for boots of the Steve Perry era shows from the Frontiers and Escape tours, as that is the versions they enjoyed listening to when growing up. They wanted the versions they hear playing five or six times a day on the office radio.

Has he gained fans here? Of course. But until he hits it big with an original album in the Philippines or Radio stops playing Classic Journey here, he is just another member of the band that sounds like Steve Perry.

Let him do a solo tour without Lani or Rachel and THEN tell my how many tickets those shows sell?

I wish the guy success as he seems to be doing a lot of this to benefit his charity but he just isn't all that much of a presence in the entertainment business as people make him out to be.

I end up watching TFC more than I really want and I can say with certainty that the old favorites (Martin, Ogie, Sharon, Regine) along with Sarah, Jed and others still rule the roost. AP, like Charice is tolerated but is more or less on the outside looking in, when you watch how they are factored into these shows. When they make it in the P.I. , then you will see them gain more fame with the Pinoys here in the states. Hell, Pacman actually gets more love as a singer then Pineda does, how fucked up is that?

I think him not being able to sing Journey songs whenever he wants is hampering his career actually. He's the lead singer of Journey but when he goes onto these Filipino T.V. shows, he can sing anything but the songs he is now famous for (with the exception of Open Arms or DSB every once in awhile). We understand why, but for people who have had never had scruples about singing covers of other artists songs (and probably never worried about paying royalties either), I think this is a strange situation for his fellow countrymen to see him in.

Maybe, I should be his manager. At least crank out a single in Tagalog, while the iron is hot. The band isn't doing anything, three months to do one song seems doable. Anything to get him on Filipino radio as a solo artist since that is place he wants to be when his career with Journey ends.

wth?? if journey is not playing any gigs, arnel should lay low as well. he'll never lose the "karaoke lounge act" persona if he keeps this up. unless i'm mistaken and he does have his own bag of originals to perform, but even then, he should lay low with the band, imo.

I agree with you up to the point of his having originals to perform. If he did have any significant original catalogue, I'd say let him tour solo til he's blue in the face.

You gotta hand it to teh guy - at least he's cashing in on his success while he's still relevant (read: before Journey retires or kicks him to the curb).

Neal doesn't give 2 shits what Arnel does when he's outside of Journey. If anything, he's been pretty supportive. He blogged about the flooding and flew down there for the relief concert. By all accounts, the Neal Schon you knew and the sober and more focused Neal Schon are seemingly 2 completely different people.

Thanks, Sushi! I've believed in Arnel since Nora first posted those YouTube clips of him in '07. A few months later a group
of us are standing just a few feet from him at that private RE/MAX show 2 days before the Planet Hollywood debut. It was kinda unreal, having followed the story from speculation to confirmation to, umm... Revelation! :)

It's been a few years since then and I've had a great time getting to know him. I'll always be a fan but seeing him
perform is more like watching a friend living his dream these days.

Your correct, I know one personally at work who said the exact same thing. He also told me that he knows many Filipinos in the Philippines who doesn't like Arnel with Journey. My point wasn't about who likes or dislikes Arnel. My point was people know who he is. Now out of everyone who knows of him, how many are going to his shows....plenty. Just more proof that "you can please some of the people some of the time but you just can't please all of the people all of the time" regardless of how good of person you are.

Yeah, I know the feeling well. Seeing Arnel and the AMO Band perform back in the 80's and then getting to know them personally was a trip for me as well, which I can relate to what your saying. You should get to know the rest of the original AMO Band members just as much as your getting to know Arnel. They are all great people to be around and were all really outstanding performers and musicians back in the day. Never a dull moment being with them both on and off the stage as I recall as though that 20+years since then is as though it was only yesterday.

I have no desire to argue or get heated up about this topic. I already said I shouldn't have ever responded in the first place. I don't even care, not even a little, about Journey, Schon, Pineda, the music, none of it. Like I said, I am sorry I even bothered. However, every time Chubby or some ridiculous Pinhead pops off about the greatness of their karaoke god, someone has to say something.

So, how many of you round-eyes are going to drop a C-note on Arnel and his little band?

Set list should be pretty tight.

Sometime when we touch
The Search Is Over
Making Love Out of Nothing At All
Alone
I don't Want To Miss A thing

They are all great people to be around and were all really outstanding performers and musicians back in the day. Never a dull moment being with them both on and off the stage as I recall as though that 20+years since then is as though it was only yesterday.


I had the good fortune and pleasure of meeting and even jamming a tune with them at the Hard Rock in Makati, and they were awesome all the way around. Really cool people and I hope to see them all again someday.

I had front row center and, while there was a really nice crowd, it wasn't "packed." I'd say between 7 hundred and a thousand people.


that's really something after his first year only becoming well-known. Good for him. My friend saw him in Cali and said it was a couple thousand and that it seemed like most were there for Arnel more so than Lani. judging from their reaction.

It's been a ton of fun man, so thanks. Hey... I can't imagine any world where Steve Perry would invite me to hang out in his tour bus or hotel room and shoot the bull at 3am after a concert, LOL. Arnel just has a way of radiating positive energy to everyone around him, especially when he sees you in the front row at a concert. On or offstage, he's just a really down-to-earth, appreciative guy who has a way of making people feel like they're the only person in the room. That's one of the reasons I don't analyze or review his performances so much -- positive energy makes for more than enough of a good time for me.

I don't think the Steve Perry analogy is a good example here. If anything, Pineda should be compared to JD Fortune or Benoît David when it comes to measuring up his character against others in the same situation or given the same opportunity as him. We've all heard about Fortune's issues. From all accounts, Benoit is just as much humbled by fronting Yes as is Arnel with Journey. Relating an experience with these three guys as compared to Perry, Jon Anderson or Michael Hutchence is just not viable.

Like Art said, Glad you are really enjoying your affiliation with the man.
Lora and Cindy seemed to share the same sentiments regarding their association with Perry. It all depends from what angle your view is coming from, I guess.

Is he allowed? Neal only played songs that aren't in the current set list. Won't Arnel be "cracking the stone", singing Journey songs without Journey? :lol:
