The Band Journey

[Motownkid]

---

I'm just happy that a Pinoy somewhat helped in resurrecting a famous band in the 80's.
Singing for an American band and making their latest album #1 for seven weeks and counting in the billboard charts is a very rare achievement. And it's about time that our good singers invade foreign charts, bigtime!

not to mention the sold out concerts.

wala man ko ni ingon na nanaway kos iyang talent or whatever... i just pointed out the fact na he's filipino nya naay lain pinoy nag tagalog niya... we would all be expecting na mag tagalog siya since most his filipino fans (if not all) watching speak tagalog...

IMO.
He was just practicing speaking in English. Kay daghan comment about his diction. Murag gipa English therapy man tingali na siya or something.
And because English is not his everyday language before, it is now, so tryng hard to siya mag iningles.
Ang iya market is english speaking na biya.....laliman ka ug inig concert niya masipyat siya unya magtinagalog haskang nindota tingali no?

unlike dire sa atong mga local nga singers...di ba ila audience kay pinoy man, tagalog or bisaya?
unya ngano man nga mag inigles man sila?

Hehehe

IMO.
Steve Perry is only the singer. Journey is the band.

It is like a corporation. If a known personality of a company leaves or resigns, does that mean the company ceases to exists too?

.. ha ?? Steve only the singer ?? Have you lost your mind ?? No offense, but i think you're only a new fan of Journey, just riding this bandwagon of AP as new vocalist.


CLICK ME

.. look at that, was there even one song that Arnel composed or even contributed ?? NONE. That equates to Arnel ONLY THE SINGER..

hahaha..

So that makes Arnel also ONLY THE SINGER. bwahahaha!

How about a Steve Perry concert simultaneous with a Journey concert on the same State but on different stadium/theater/gym??
Who do you think will draw the most crowd?
Or how about Steve Perry releasing his new album now...will it also make it to the number #1 spot on billboard charts?

hehehe...I have Journey albums and Steve Perry album but I like Steve with Journey not Steve all by himself. And I like Arnel Pineda with Journey, more so that he is a Filipino making waves in the USA and Europe, gaining American and European fans.

Well, if you take out AP from Journey...maybe I'd still stick to Journey but I'll never go with AP.

Steve Perry is not Journey!
Journey(old) is not Steve Perry!
Arnel Pineda is not Journey!
Journey(new) is not Arnel Pineda!

Journey is a group of musicians. It is not composed of only one person.

So go ahead, look for the new Steve Perry album and buy it. And please post here the name of the new Steve Perry album. I would like to hear his voice now and not his voice in the 80's.
And enjoy your old Journey albums. hehehe

I do have a Journey album and its their new release and I'm enjoying it. hahaha

.. agree. his pronunciation sucks. Listen to Faithfully.. HIGHWAY RUN.. IN ZZUU THE MIDNIGHT SUN. It's a case of oversinging. Im a solid Journey fan but they're better off dead without Steve. AP might be pinoy but i don't support him or any other singer journey will put up there. Steve Perry IS Journey. Steve wasnt just the vocalist, he was mainly the song writer of Journey.

understandable.

He is not a native English speaker. But I think they are doing their best to make him speak/sing in better English.

Did Steve Perry perform alone and labeled his concert Journey?

Arnel Pineda is not Journey. But the new Journey now has Arnel Pineda as their new frontman.
Because Steve Perry is not coming back to Journey.
Maybe he is forming a new group or is going real solo.

So, care to share the details on what's up with SP now?

Or can you make him perform live...let us see how many attend(buy tickets) to his concerts. And it should be series of concerts across the USA let us also see if he too can maintain sold out concerts just like what the new Journey now is experiencing.

... sorry, but can't help to laugh. you just don't know what you're talking about. It doesnt mean that you have all of Journey's album and that makes you a "true" fan. You can easily download their entire discography in the net

.. if you really are a true fan, do you know why Steve left journey ?? And what happened to journey ever since ?? and who's fault is it ??

.. if you can answer me those, then i salute you. But if not....you know what to do.


.. and let me just add, i've heard the new album, it's good, but it lacks one thing - PASSION. It's boring.

ako i'm just soooooo happy for the fact that a filipino made it big internationally... i don't care if he can't speak english well... at least masabtan man gihapon siya maski usahay murag gikilaw lang iya sinultian...i'm also happy nga daghan nidayeg niya unya daghan sad nilait niya... at least napag-usapan siya... and kanang mga lait sa hard core steve perry fan, nakapasamot lang na ug sikat niya karon coz people who haven't heard of arnel pineda or journey will now wonder what the fuss is about and ngano gi-compare siya kang steve perry... anyway, daghan man sad supporters si AP nga nidayeg niya all over the world... to tell you honestly, i've never heard of steve perry or journey before... i only know about them and bought their cds/dvds when arnel is the lead singer... so sa kinatibuk-an, ang gibuhat ni arnel karon sa journey, nakapasikat samot sa banda... nagpasikat balik ug samot ni steve perry

Just like David Lee Roth is Van Halen. Just imagine Depeche Mode without Dave Gahan.

OK ra man kung si Pacquiao di kaayo kahibaw mo English but in the case of Arnel Pineda, it is in the way he sings the song. The good thing about this defect though is that there is something that can be done about it.

"Faded Wayyding photograph".. that's how Arnel sang the first line of Journey's new song "After All These Years"... but what do you expect from a high school drop-out anyway...

that's just one of a whole lot of other words in Journey's repertoire of songs that Arnel mangles, and brutalizes..

but hey, at the end of the day.. he'll be fine. he'll learn from his mistakes and improve his English in no time. let's not forget that inspite of all his flaws and imperfections.. he is still the vocals of a band called Journey.

I think it's fair to give Arnel and Journey a year to prove to their fans that they still have IT. let's see if Journey made the right decision in getting Arnel's services.

it was a choice of completely disbanding OR trying one more time to hire a third front man since Steve Perry and going from there.

let's see what happens...
