The Daily Swarm

What's up with the Steve Perry look-alike? What a scam. I used to think you guys were cool. You should have retired 20 years ago.

Please dont listen to the retards above that have no taste in music. I'm sure there will be some that will never try to listen to you guys without Steve Perry. I for am am delighted to see Journey back on tour. I'll be there this summer. For the record, Arnel Pineda not only sounds like Steve Perry, but he sounds better than Steve Perry. No disrespect to Steve, but I find myself listening to the youtube videos with Arnel, and just dont think my old Journey CD's with Steve Perry sound as good. Arnel is the real deal and I like Journey better since Arnel has jumped on board. Cant wait until August!

some people are funny! very typical of local arrogance. Steve Perry is a very respectful artist! You dont behave like him though. lol

It's about the band and the music. I'll give this new guy a chance. He sounds great!!

As I was listening to AP's voice, it's sounds great. He has his own identity. The comparison is that AP's voice is better, no disrespect to Steve. I'm not particular of race.

I'm happy they re-recorded the greatest hits. I want to hear how he compares with Steve P. And from what I have heard, seen, read so far, looks like Arnel P. does a good job. Maybe too good for some and won't accept that the new kid in town sounds better than the original.

'You doth protest too much'

Looking forward to see them in Nijmegen on 15 june (Arrow Rock Festival)
i think Arnel Pineda sounds GREAT we must leave the past behind.

No matter what, the new guy or the old guy in as the frontman, I am still asking my hubby to buy me the new album!

Journey is a rockband, it's not a SOLO act!

I just don't understand why some people keep on harping on about former members of a band who left more than a decade ago! If this is their attitude towards a rock band, I wonder what's their attitude in life? no forward moving attitude? that stinks!

Steve is Steve; and there's nothing we can do about it except to cherish the moment when he was at the helm. Arnel is in his forties with a great voice - now have you ever wondered as in a subjunctive moon if the two of them were to audition at the same time ;-] In 1990, at a tender age as a rocker with a higher tenor voice than today, Arnel won the best vocalist award at the Yamaha World Band Explosion.

Again, Steve is Steve - let it be for the simple reason that Arnel could easily sing Freddie Mercury's Bohemian Rhapsody with ease (which he won singing in the 1988 Asian Leg of the Yamaha World Explosion) and other of Queen's songs to which I really doubt Steve could even hit the fifth note doing so in his younger age. ;-]

in this album revelation,i'm hearing van halen guitar and headset moment... i'm telling everybody to be quiet and past the monchees>>and there's a moment i realized i'm married and in love again but this is year 2008 can't be what's these positive wave going on.JOURNEY i thought you R.I.P. already.
you guys scaring me, i'm going to fight the fear,i will see you face to face in Mandalay Bay -Las Vegas july 18.

best comment i've read so far about AP's being asian... in verbatim...

Folks, I am a "white guy" too, but I think it is WRONG to compare singers. It is like comparing, well, apples and oranges. But let me tell you this: It is ALL ABOUT VOCALS. I love the previous versions, too, but this guy Arnel Pineda whacks this song with emotion and great pitch and vocals. He may not have the looks of your favorite singer, but, heck, he delivers the same song with passion. YOU NEED A SINGER TO SING A SONG, NOT A GQ MATERIAL! This guy is a SINGER!

I am listening to REVELATION right now! AWESOME!

Will fly to Manchester to see them live!

steve perry who is that let me ask my grandpa

There is only one Steve Perry but I have to admit that Arnel Pineda does a stunning job on his first Journey album. I love the free DVD which came with the album. It was great to see Arnel working with group. In closing, Steve Perry's vocal talents will be missed as well as his creative input in writing Journey's songs. But we all have to move on. Welcome to the group, Arnel and welcome back Journey!

STEVE is no longer in the limelight, he cannot sing no more the way it used to be! Now, the New Journey comeback with new lead singer in person of the name Arnel Pineda with the "Angelic Voice" Wow! sure they will click throughout this world! They are now touring around the world minus SP!They will boom with their electrifying sounds (instrument so good)looks like they became heavy metal rocks, sounds like that, its so good!!!

Journey's Revelation Album is simply amazing! Arnel Pineda rocks! This is a real deal!! Five Stars!!!

Went to the Bristol, Super Wal-mart here in Virginia and Bristol, Tenn.- Journey-revelation was SOLD OUT!!!Even the old CD of Journey has gone. Now, whos' sayin' that without Steve Perry the band Journey is nothing. Eat your word fellow! The New JOURNEY with Arnel is alive! With Arnels' "angelic voice" the group looks younger, and they are now touring around the world minus Steve Perry! Ha!ha!ha! Don't insist SP, hes' solo now, album "Street Talk" nilangaw! Lets' rockin' with the New Reborn "JOURNEY"band. they're clicking!!! Arnels' only new to the band got already a millions' fans!

Journey is a cover band.

Wowwwwwww!!!!! Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain are right. Arnel Pineda's voice is so full of emotions and soul.

I am hooked on this new CD, especially Turn Down the World Tonight and What It Takes to Win.

Some People make me laugh. I won't mention names, but for some "fans" (I use that word loosely) to take the time to come on this thread just to be "cute" and try to defame the guys in Journey and the die-hard fans that still respect them and their musical direction they are headed in....it is both humorous and disturbing at the same time. Personally, I wouldn't take the time to go out of my way to tell people why I don't like a certain band anymore. It is extremely tacky....just stop listening and go play in the street or something, but don't be a poor looser just because some of the members in the band have changed, or you don't like the musical direction, etc. I am so sick of rudeness from people who have decided not to accept or embrace change within the Journey family. If you don't want be part of the family (being a fan) anymore, then go away. But, to refer to Arnel Pineda as a "scam" is very offensive! The guy paid his dues for 20+ years to have this current opportunity with Journey, and deserves to be respected. There are plenty of bands that I used to like, but for some reason I don't listen to them much anymore, but I also won't go out of my way to offend the band and their fans by making rude and ignorant comments. I know....why let it bother me....right? Because it is behavior that should not be accepted. I would never publicly trash any band or band member. That is the thing with websites.....just because you CAN sit in your favorite easy chair in your own home and keystroke any childish or insensitive comment you want, doesn't mean you SHOULD. A website is a PUBLIC place because you are able to speak to the masses (just like shouting your opinion from a street corner) and you should behave by having some DIPLOMACY. If you say something publicly from a street corner and it offends a person walking by, they might punch you in the face. For the rude people out there, just be glad the true Journey fans out there like myself don't know where you live....because sometimes a child just needs a good beating to grow up!
