And as if the evening could get any better...
Arnel Pinetais a total stick of dynamite! I swear, he sounds more like Steve Perry than Mr. Perry himself! Arnel and the rest of the band kept the audience pumped. Neal on guitars, Ross on bass, Jonathan on keyboards/guitar, and Deen... wow, Deen! I'm still amazed at your mad skills! Playing a double bass drum set with umpteen cymbals and tom toms... AND SINGING! Dood, amazing!! All of the guys in this band are extremely talented, and they yet again did not disappoint a frenzied crowd.

You know Chubby...nothing against you, but when I read things like "Arnel sounds more like Steve Perry, than Steve does himself" it just pisses me off, and turns me AWAY from Arnel.This woman is obviously a fan (and there's nothing wrong with that), but when I read something from someone like her it just irks me. Of COURSE this came from Arnel's site...Can't say I blame him for trying to get the PR.
I was and still am a Pineda fan, but really only for his new songs with Journey...not with him trying to mimick Steve Perry in a heavily accented vocal delivery. It never bothered me much when I first heard him, but it's really gotten to me after all this time. It's like he mouths the words, but almost sounds like he doesn't even comprehend the lyrics to what he sings.
This is of course just my opinion, but I'm just saying! I AM seriously excited about their next album though, and I'll buy it on day one with a smile on my face.

Well Jim, they're only playing two new songs now, hard for Arnel to get sperarated from Perry when they're not playing new material. I would think it might grate on AP a little too. He can't have his name said without Perry's. When he was in the Zoo he was just plain Arnel, now he's the guy who sounds like Perry. The thing is having seen Perry live four times with Journey, I can say Arnel doesn't sound like him, especially the Perry I heard on the Escape tour. I'm sure he's fine with it 90% of the time but there have to be some days when AP wakes up and wonders how he ended up living in someone elses legacy instead of his own. I'm sure Kelly Hanson feels the same way. The difference is Kelly doesn't have songs to promote that are his own while Arnel has. Unfortunately Pineda is geting the same treatment as Augeri did after Arrival. Push your own music the first tour and then go back to being the guy who sounds like Steve Perry the next tour.

You bring up some good points, and I can't say that I know what that'd be like. On the flip-side though, maybe he feels blessed to have such a kick-ass job verses what he was doing at the clubs with the Zoo.
Like I said, I think he's great, but when people say he's better than Perry...OKAY!

Perry never ran all over the stage like Arnel, but Perry had better stage presence. Back in the 80's, it was Steve Perry as the front man. Now it's Neal and Jonathan. It's never really a good thing when the lead singer is in 3rd place.

Ward, you're being a little hard on the beave tonight.This is a Journey forum, so anything Journey should be able to be talked about here. So Chubby is a fan. He can't help it of he gets excited when he sees positive things posted about AP and Journey. His post is pretty benign compared to what some of the SP loons post around here. I'd rather see something positive posted about the current lineup, rather than read people having the same Perry debates day after day.
Granted, the AP sounds more like SP than SP shit is getting a bit old. Now about the magic......

404 - Your claims not found
It's very strange that we are born with a pair of eyes but every once in awhile someone sees something that the rest of us don't see. Bottom line is this: The band could care less what some rabidly obsessed throwbacks think. All they care about is the fact that they are out there doing what they love, playing their music and entertaining people. Having seen clip after clip of fans having fun....I think it's a worthy and relevent venture. This place does NOT represent the entire bank of Journey fans.
