Journey - Arnel VS Steve Perry

[Erik Rupp]

After having listened to the re-recordings of the classic Journey songs that came with their new album last year I've got to say that I actually like Arnel Pineda's vocals better than Steve Perry's.

Arnel's voice has less of that nasal tone than Perry does (that comes off a bit whiny), and he has a richer, fuller voice that just sounds stronger.

I think that Journey really scored when they discovered Arnel - the guy has a great voice and has a ton of energy live.

Here's a good comparison...

[John, Your Pal]

His phrasing is such that you can tell he doesn't speak English.

This guy is better than Soto but not as good as Augeri.
