Rebirth of Journey Band With Filipino Lead Singer

By: zachjer cuello

For a while Journey band have in dormancy state not until they got a boost from Pinoy talent who would be their front line lead singer. This Pinoy talent is Arnel Pineda who is already a veteran when it comes to club performances whether it will be in the Philippines or Japan. His popularity is also shown by his showings in Youtube and eventually lead him to get flown straight to Marin county to audition for the vacant lead singer position. And the rest is just like a Cinderella story.

Arnel Pineda hardly had enough to get used to his instant challenges and getting used to international status quo being with the Journey band. This added the extra pressure in getting ready to perform and please 15,000 Chilean Journey fans. This extra ordinary experience for Arnel Pineda just added the fire in his first international concert performance that was just nothing but exceptional.

It's been a little rough start for Arnel Pineda of the Journey band. Some even mentioned that he seems like forgotten the lyrics of the song or he's almost like reading them from a teleprompter.

As the show went on, Arnel and the band started to show the flow in their performance. And it's just about right when things just got into the right groove and mood when Arnel Pineda belted out the popular song, "Open Arms". Arnel Pineda just know how to answer Latinos passion for music and he did such an awesome job. After that number, just about everyone got comfortable and the Monster got silent.

Arnel's version of the song "Faithfully" just melts everyone's heart. All the doubts looming about this Pinoy talent just disappeared. The "Monster" was brought to Arnel and the rest of Journey band, finally the band regained their position to be among one of the best rock bands of all time.

It was encore number one after the other that was asked of the Journey band. Their final song even took a little bit longer to get going since most of the equipment have been turned off. And it was still so memorable! Arnel Pineda have finally proven that he could deliver what is expected of him to be a part of Journey band.

Neal Schon was acting like a proud father to a son he presented to everyone, Jonathan Cain (who was not so pleased with Arnel Pineda) now is preaching Arnel "is the real deal", Ross Valory keeps flashes that nothing else with rare smile, and Deen Castronovo gestured to Arnel Pineda that he's the man!

Almost like a stuff for a soft Cinderella story, isn't it?

What an opposite situation where it is like a Cinderella story for Arnel Pineda while Journey band is the Lazarus who came back from the dead.

Pundits point out that the Journey band has become a "Greatest Hits" band. Schon, Cain, Valory, and Castronovo are living off Journey band's past glory. They have waxed new materials but unfortunately they were tepid at sales. They may still have the loyalty of the band's original followers, but this fan base either moves on to new bands or music, or simply die of old age.

Steve Augeri, and Jason Scot Soto are both outstanding performers, but they just want to have Journey's popularity to go for another mile. Adding Arnel Pineda, Journey band just got retrofitted without changing its old persona. Arnel Pineda's clear high voice, and soulful version of the the songs keeps the old fashion "Journey" atmosphere.

Arnel Pineda's contribution to the band as a lead singer doesn't end there. His Asian energetic personality of his own "rock" version could pave the way for the admiration of the younger music fan base both from the USA and internationally.
