The Boston Globe
The story of Journey’s new frontman
By Sarah Rodman
GLOBE STAFF
MARCH 02, 2013

Arnel Pineda sat in the dark theater in Nashville with his hands partially covering his eyes. Occasionally, he would peek up at the screen, horror-movie style.

When the lights went up in Music City after the most important screening of “Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey,” Pineda could scarcely believe it was all true, his tale of being plucked from obscurity in 2008 to front the classic rock band Journey. Of how he had literally gone from rags — a homeless, high school dropout in his native Philippines — to riches — touring the globe singing huge hit songs like “Faithfully,” “Open Arms,” and, of course, “Don’t Stop Believin,’” to full arenas. Pineda also wasn’t crazy about the way he looked. “I was covering my eyes because I look like crap in some parts because I’d had no sleep and they were asking me questions,” says the genial, soft-spoken singer, slightly sleepy on the phone from a New Zealand tour stop.

The story is true, however, and fortunately for director Ramona S. Diaz, Pineda got over it, or else she might not have had a movie. “Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey” opens at the Coolidge Corner Theatre on Friday.

“That was the hardest audience I ever had to screen it for,” says Diaz, who unspooled the documentary for Pineda and the rest of Journey — guitarist Neal Schon, keyboardist Jonathan Cain, bassist Ross Valory, and drummer Deen Castronovo — last February. “At that point, we hadn’t signed off on music rights.” In other words, if the members of Journey didn’t like the film, which was financed by Diaz on credit cards, favors, family investments, wings and prayers, they could have shut it down by blocking her from using their music.

“Every fiber of my being was saying oh my God, we really could be royally screwed. But at the end,” says Diaz, with a still audible sigh in her voice “they came through for us.”

The film follows Pineda, who had toiled for many years in cover bands and original outfits in the Philippines and Hong Kong, from his initial audition for the band in San Francisco through the group’s first tour with the new frontman they found on YouTube.

Diaz, an Emerson grad whose previous films include “Imelda,” a 2003 documentary about former first lady Marcos of the Philippines, first caught wind of Pineda’s story by e-mail.

“I’m Filipino-American and I’m plugged into the community and whenever something big happens in the community everyone knows about it,” she says. “So there was this e-mail that was circulating that was written by the immigration officer who gave him his visa to go to the audition.”

When Pineda first told an official the reason for his visit to the United States, he saw the man chuckling in disbelief. But then he turned to another officer, and this one had actually seen Pineda’s band, Zoo, playing in local clubs and had heard him singing Journey songs. Pineda says he sang “Wheel in the Sky” on the spot and three days later he had his visa.

Disbelief was a recurring theme at the time. That Pineda had the presence of mind to film his audition with the band was a huge gift to Diaz. “He didn’t think he was going to get the gig so he wanted to record it and show people — ‘See I did audition for Journey’ — because no one believed him. And he told me that like, as a matter-of-fact, ‘Oh yeah, we filmed that.’ You filmed what? Seriously?”

From there Diaz persuaded the band to shoot a rehearsal. And then another few days. Finally she gained enough of their trust that they invited her crew on tour to document Pineda’s first year of adjusting to his new bandmates, huge venues and crowds, and dealing with the grueling tour schedule. Throughout it all, Pineda is even-keeled and philosophical. If it is possible to craft the “right” response to such an extraordinary circumstance, Pineda seems to display it: grateful, reverent, understandably overwhelmed but unfailingly fearless, even in the face of the ever unkind message board underbelly of the Internet, some of whose denizens did not take kindly to Pineda and let it be known.

“So much could’ve gone wrong,” says Diaz, looking back. “He could’ve failed; he could’ve lost his voice, or his confidence. We’d still have a film but not the same film, obviously. That’s why he was golden. Not only did he not miss a beat, but he was also very articulate about what was happening to him about his inner life, which is very rare to find that.”

Pineda shrugs off the praise of his calm. “I was just being myself because I was tired all the time. Keeping up with what Ramona was doing and then keeping up with the tour, it’s just too much information and too much responsibility to have.”

Nearly five years on, it is a responsibility that he now feels more comfortable with even though he knows some fans will never accept him. Although Journey had two other singers (Steve Augeri and Jeff Scott Soto) between their most famous frontman, Steve Perry, and Pineda, in the film the band members make clear that Pineda is their man as long as he wants to be. (Perry and the group split acrimoniously in 1998 and Perry has said that he has no interest in returning.)

“No singer in this world can ever replace what Mr. Perry has accomplished with the band,” Pineda says. “But right now the main objective is to continue sharing the message they have worked so hard for over the years. It’s no competition. Right now, I can still feel the bitterness of a lot of Perry fans out there. But they don’t really understand what’s going on. They feel threatened that Mr. Perry is being dethroned of his place in the band. Nobody’s trying to change that. I completely understand where they’re coming from, but they shouldn’t feel threatened, they should feel happy that the music is still relevant. A lot of people still come to the show to witness for themselves Journey in the 21st century.”

For her part, Diaz, not a big fan previously, came away with a new respect for Journey — specifically her favorite song, “Stone in Love” — and the rock ’n’ roll touring life in general.

“You know when rock stars are being interviewed on television and they’re saying, ‘You know, it’s not all that glamorous,’ and you’re like, oh shut up ?” she says with a laugh. “I realized it isn’t all glamorous. It’s not at all. It’s only glamorous those two hours onstage and everything is about those two hours and performing in front of 20,000 people, but it was tough because [the film crew was] still working those two hours. We did this on our own dime. People will think it’s Journey, they must have helped. But we really wanted it to be independent. I didn’t want a vanity project basically. I had final cut and that was very clear, but it wouldn’t have been clear if they had funded it.”

Which is why she was so relieved when they embraced her last year and gave her the greenlight on the music, of which the film features a great deal.

“I think people really need to see the film because, looking beyond my face, there’s a story that’s so great and so inspiring,” says Pineda, who hopes to get to work on a solo album soon. “That made me realize I don’t have to be ashamed that they’re going to see my face on the big screen and see me really awkward.”

“People ask me what I want people to take away from the film,” says Diaz. “Just that good things still happen to good people.”

Comcast, so I'll be checking. You heard anything about a DVD release?

[Don]

From what I've read, If you have the Journey Manila DVD and have seen all of the TV interviews from Pineda's first year with the band, you've pretty much seen the movie. No conflict, no flair ups or drama.
As Neal was lamenting during one of the premiers, hardly any focus on the band at all.

Not yet. It was supposed to be released in Australia last week to coincide with the band's tour (There will not be a theatrical release there) but as we know, that didn't happen.

...except for those audition tapes. That might be worth it right there!

Did anyone go to any of the previews?

I'm waiting for the Tommy DeCarlo movie.

[Don]

I won't knock anybody from watching it. For me though, after living in the PI I'm already jaded. Many different characters over the years but I've heard the story before.
That's what irks me about the song City Of Hope. It's supposedly about Manila but from my view of that particular city it should be called "City Of Despair." All of those people coming from the provinces and finding no gold at the end of the rainbow. Living in shanty towns under the overpasses and bridges. The 12 year old strippers in Ermita. The hundreds of job agency offices sending women abroad who think they're headed for for work at a hotel only to end up as sex-workers or bar hostesses. The garbage piles as high as small condos.

Yep, I'm jaded.

Yes, for the ones who are lucky enough to have money to pay for nursing school. And the best ones don't stay there, they go to the states on the work visas.

Most people there educated in health care can have their credentials transfered here, though some further certifications may be required. They turn out good Nurses and Doctors. My wife has a cousin who was an anesthesiologist there and once in the USA resumed his occupation almost immediately.

..Movie Review: Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey
Posted: 03/05/2013 8:21 am

You absolutely don't have to be a fan of the rock group Journey to enjoy Ramona Diaz's Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey.

Because I'm not. Really. Not to put too fine a point on it, but as someone who was working as a rock critic for the first decade and a half of the group's existence, I always regarded them as unexplainably popular, an at-best thoroughly mediocre hit-making machine. Not quite in the same league as Yes for pretentiousness, but approaching that same '80s-era-level of arena-rock bombast.

But I found myself caught up in this film, which is the story of Arnel Pineda, who was a 40-year-old former street kid in Manila, The Philippines, who was an itinerant rock singer, moving from club band to club band in his hometown. One night, someone shot video of him in his latest gig, singing in a cover band in a Manila club -- warbling a Journey song, as it happened.

So in 2007, when the real Journey found itself without a lead singer to book the kind of "legacy" tour that has become so popular, they began an exhaustive search -- which ended when guitarist Neal Schon came across the YouTube video of Pineda. They were impressed enough to fly him to L.A. from the Philippines for an audition -- then told him he had the job.

He was the lead singer of Journey.

He had never played for more than a couple hundred people in a club. His first gig was in a stadium in Chile before tens of thousands.

And Diaz was the filmmaker who got Pineda to agree to let her to go along for his wild ride. Plucked from obscurity, he lands in the recording studio with the group, then goes on an international tour with them -- and discovers that it is both physically exhausting and vocally demanding to do a lengthy tour with a full 90-minute show most nights.

It's not just the singing, though his voice is pretty amazing, given how small he is physically and how big it is aurally. But he hits the stage like a jumping jack, Mick Jagger times David Lee Roth, divided by Steven Tyler: racing back and forth on the stage, leaping from risers and performing split kicks -- he's a human pinball, caroming around the stage.

And the fans and the band's manager reamed him for this (in the film). How soon they forget- Perry was EVERYWHERE on stage. Let the dude be who he is.

I don't see how anyone can compare the way Steve Perry worked the stage with the way Arnel works the stage. Yes, Steve was everywhere on the stage, but not in the way Arnel is. I haven't seen Journey live in a few years, but the shows I did attend with Arnel as frontman, I found his stage presence to be more distracting than anything. It doesn't enhance the music or the song for me to see the singer vaulting off the drum riser and doing high-kicks (especially during ballads), which I have seen Arnel do. I'm sure he's passionate about what he's doing, but that frenzied stage presence just doesn't appeal to me.

I think that all the activity from Pineda is done to make up for his lack communication with the crowd. The guy doesn't talk, he doesn't ad-lib on any of the songs; he's pretty much a note by note jumping bean.

Journey Singer's 'Surreal' Story Told in 'Don't Stop Believin' Film
ARTICLESNEWS
By Gary Graff, Detroit | March 05, 2013 2:35 PM

He may be the subject of the new documentary "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey," but don't tell Arnel Pineda he's a movie star now. He's still getting his head around being Journey's current lead singer.

"It's, like, half dream and half reality for me," the Filipino singer -- who joined Journey in 2007 after guitarist Neal Schon discovered videos of him performing Journey songs on YouTube -- tells Billboard. "It still feels unbelievable. It still feels so surreal. Me being with Journey right now is about being able to help the guys make it relevant, because as we all know the band's been going on for about 40 years now, since 1973, and it's going strong because the message is still very positive and the music is so good."

The "Don't Stop Believin'" film is the brainchild of director/writer/producer Ramona S. Diaz, a fellow Filipino who was hipped to Pineda's story by the country's embassy shortly after Journey began working with the singer. The movie -- which opens March 8 in select cities and will be available the following day on most On Demand services -- intimately traces Pineda's journey to Journey, from his past in a broken home and poverty to his rise as one of the Phillipines most popular indigenous singers.

The movie also follows him closely on his first tour with Journey, overcoming both language barriers, colds and haters loyal to predecessor Steve Perry, as well as a triumphant homecoming that includes a concert in Manila with Journey. It's been shown at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival, the San Francisco International Film Festival and the AFI/Discovery Channel Silverdogs Documentary Festival.

"We were kind of taken aback by (the film) because we've always been sort of a private affair with what we do," notes Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain, who's shown helping Pineda with pre-show vocal exercises. "In the end she won us over, and we just went, 'Cool, let's work together.' This really is Ramona's baby; it's Arnel's story and Journey cooperated, but it's her vision. We had no idea what kind of movie she was going to make, but she made this movie from the heart and I don't think she missed the mark at all. She chased us around for nearly four years; we move at the speed of sound with our buses and our crew, and she's in a van keeping up with us. Her commitment to this film is what I'm most impressed with. She really caught this story, the evolution of a rock star."

Pineda -- who's recorded two albums with Journey, "Revelation" in 2008 and 2011's "Eclipse" -- says he hopes "Don't Stop Believin' " is viewed as an inspirational story.

"I want people to see that the miracle, the divine intervention -- it happens," he explains. "I want them to ponder on it and the dreams they have for themselves, because that's what I did. I had a hard life. I was really poor at one part of my life. My young years in Manila weren't that pleasant. But I never quit. I just moved on. I believed in myself. I knew that somehow, some day I'd become somebody -- but this is bigger than what I was dreaming."

Journey is wrapping up a tour with Deep Purple in Australia before moving on to a four-show run in Japan and then a European trek with Whitesnake. The group is planning dates for North America during the summer, including a possible 40th anniversary show at AT&T Park in its home town of San Francisco.

I really like that last sentence!
