It really is too bad that Journey didn't let him take a year off and recoup. They could have done the right thing and kept the line-up intact. Although he had his bad nights, when he was on, he was really amazing. I'm glad there are videos out there that demonstrate that he really was worthy of getting the gig. Having said that, Arnel is pretty damn impressive.
Steve Augurei was good as shit,that I wont forget,and Journey suffered for not doing the right thing andnot takin a break for there lead singer to get well. They missed a whole year of touring cause of their greed. Hopefully they wont do the same with Arnel. They could have really succeeded much more through out the years with better management, and not being so greedy.Ill go hear them a couple times, but there is no way i will feel the same way about them as i did back in 2002, they blew it
