Rebirth of Journey Band With Filipino Lead Singer
zachjer cuello
Journey band, the very popular rock band back in the 70's got the boost they have been waiting for:a new lead singer. Ever heard of Arnel Pineda? He's a Pinoy talent and a veteran performing some gigs in the Philippines and overseas. Originally performed with the Zoo band in Quezon City and got flown to the America for an audition. And the usual saying goes, his story is like the modern Cinderella story.
Arnel Pineda just had two months to get to be in groove of his new found band and two weeks to get used to the pressure and demands of an international rock group Journey Band. But that did not hinder him to face the extreme challenges he needed to perform in front of 15,000 Journey band fans. The result, ecstatic revitalized Chilean Journey fans cheering for Arnel Pineda and Journey band.
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 Pineda's rendition of "Faithfully" brought the floor down. Totally dispelling any doubts about this guy's talent, The "Monster" was taken to Arnel and the rest of the Journey band, renewing its place among the greatest 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.
Some musical big wigs coined Journey band has become a "Greatest Hits" group. Schon, Cain, Valory, and Castronovo are riding the wave of Journey's past glorious moments. They attempted some new materials but they did not seem to hit the sales records. They might still posses the admiration of the original fan groups, but this fans base could either go for other bands or genre, or they could just rot and die of being old.
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.
However, Arnel Pineda, as Journey band's lead singer, doesn't end his contributions to the band there. His being Asian, his youthful energy, his really "rock" rendition of the fast ones provide Journey band a chance to be discovered by the younger generation not only from continental USA but globally.
