This is un-rockstar like. Great though...

[PowerChords]

Usually, rock stars have the "I don't give a fuck" attitude. This seperates Arnel from the rest of them.

[artist4perry]

Kind of rude, to slam the guy. I always said he is personable. Let's say you prefer Perry's voice, that is fine, but why insult Arnel?

[Saint John]

Arnel should have let me write his response. It would have been a bit different.

What a colossal waste of effort and bandwidth! Don't people realize these internet battles don't go anywhere but add fuel to the fire? Nobody learned anything from the SP/SA wars. What gets me are the dumbass assertations (put forth as facts ... not opinion) aimed to discredit and demean (other fans as well as individual band members). The band must be laughing at all this.

[Enigma869]

Absolutely FANTASTIC response, from Arnel! There is something to be said for taking the high road! The guy should go into public relations...or better yet, teach Journey something about public relations!

Arnel did you get that present I sent you this week? How about the other packages last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Don't worry nothing is ticking inside of them. I'm mailing myself to the Philippines so I can be with you and accept your man love.

[artist4perry]

Actually I don't get being rude to anyone because of what music you prefer. Everyone has their favorite, and no one wants their favorite slammed down. I think some people thrive on being unkind and rude. I never get this thinking at all. It is one thing to playfully kid around with friends, it is another to get off on hurting someone else. If you like hurting people you need to get some help. It says little about your personality, it says volume about your worth.

Yeah it takes someone real brave to use someone else's name like that . Rip wouldn't have posted that.

God, don't these people get tired of beating this same old horse??
Give the guy his props, he rescued the band from the cutout bin, like it or not.
AND he's been extremely cool to fans as well.

Arnel should send the guy a photo of himself holding the PLATINUM album and the bags of dough he made from his first tour. Better yet, send the a-hole some chocolate from China.

Arnel is going to have to adjust to the fame. His kid is going to need a bodyguard in the P.I. Kidnappings are pretty popular there if they know you have money. I hope he has someone giving him advise when he gets home.

I think the odds of politicians kidnapping Arnel is greater than actual kidnappers taking him. These low life scumbags (politicians, not kidnappers) will try to get closer to Arnel just for their very own gain. They know that a vote for them is a vote for Arnel. And when they get to office, that's where they will make money.
If I am Arnel, I will stay away from these scavengers.

I hope he doesn't do any thing like try to run for office like PACMAN did. Pacman is lucky that he's made a lot money in boxing because he's been pretty good at blowing it.

I agree, and that's NOT what I was doing in the other thread...

BUT, I will say this....Alot of times someone says something that EVERYONE is thinking, only doesn't have the balls to say.

Nah. Arnel is too honest and will not win the election if he does run for office.

Arnel grew up and survived on the streets, I'm sure he knows what to do without somebody advising him. Besides, the kidnappers there won't touch celebrities like Arnel because they are high risk, low gain targets. High risk because it is likely to be picked up by the press and low reward because Arnel isn't that rich yet. Kidnappers prefer rich businessmen who would silently pay the ransom.
