Since most of the VGM I enjoy is 'rock'ish', I presume some of you may be 'Journey' fans...

In case you haven't heard, they have a new singer, 'Arnel Pineda'.  Arnel hails originally from the Phillipeans.  I think it's incredibly class of the band to find a new singer, irregardless of his heritage, and country of birth, but rather, his pure talent.  Very interesting factoid, the band found Arnel by going to the Internet (You Tube) and seeing his cover band (The Zoo), and his performances.

Really blown away actually, check out the following You Tube clips from a recent performance in Chile with Journey.  This was his first show, btw

Ok - apologies to any non-Journey, and those who want VGM only discussions...

Hm, I listened to "Don't Stop Believin'"... I think it didn't help that it was live, and streaming on Youtube.  I'd like to hear a studio recording.
