So it seems as if the rumors were true. Philipinno singer Arnel Pineda is indeed the new frontman for Journey. He replaces Jeff Scott Soto, the most recent member of what is becoming a line of long-haired mic-wielders.
Journey guitarist Neal Schon reportedly saw the 40 year old Pineda perform on Youtube and invited him to the states for an audition. Cower before the powers of the internet!
here's a video of Pineda performing Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" with his cover band The Zoo:
he's from a cover band? somehow fitting...
Pineda and the band are reportedly in the studio cooking up a new record, which would be released sometime in 2008. "(Pineda) is the real deal. Just phenomenal," record producer Kevin Shirley said.
As for the new record being good...don't hold your breath.
