Arnel Pineda, Lead VOX of JOURNEY, celebrated his 42nd birthday as they played at the Borgata in Atlantic City Sept. 4 and 5 with a surprise encore: Our "wonder boy" was granted his bday wish to sing his two personal favorite JOURNEY songs as a medley. This was the 1st time that Arnel sang these and likely will be the only times this will ever be sang again.

Neil Schon accompanies him with an acoustic guitar first and then switches to an electric guitar. A very rare and special ending and thank you from Arnel and the J-Boys!

I have always been a fan of Journey and Steve Perry's but I have become an even bigger fan of Arnel Pineda! He has the voice of and angel, a beautiful, humble spirit and his background story is such an inspiriation. I wish people would quit comparing him to SP all the time. He does an excellent job staying true to the "classic" Journey sound but has a quality & tone that is all his own. Let go of the "ghost of Christmas past" and enjoy the new version of Journey. Arnel voice is a gift - to us!

Why can't the Perry lovers move on? This guy has a wonderful voice and I, for one, am glad they found him. Can you imagine if Schon hadn't of found him? What a waste to think he would never of been discovered and we would never of been able to listen to this wonderful voice.

Steve Perry is irreplaceable but this guy is as close as it gets. Haters should just admit it.

Every body who comments on Arnel videos they either hate him or love him. They comment on how "Arnel is the greatest thing to happen to this band since SP left the band", but they always forget to mention how great Augeri was.
