"The Flame Still Burns"

Do you believe in fairy tales? I don’t simply because I’ve already outgrown my childhood fascination for magic wands, fairy godmothers and frogs and beasts that turned into handsome princes. And let’s not even talk about damsels in distress who had to wait for their superficial saviors to hand them their own pre-conceived notion of happiness. But I do believe in the power of luck and hardwork and that if you have what it takes to weather the storms and climb the heavens to chase your stars, more than likely, you'll be able to catch more than what you have wished for. Five years ago, Arnel Pineda stumbled upon his stars, handed in a silver platter by no less than his modern “fairy godmother” in the person of the legendary founder and guitarist of the iconic rock band Journey. Neil Schon discovered Arnel on You Tube while trolling the web in search of the new voice of Journey, a band that had already gone through many vocalists including Steve Perry, the band’s third and most charismatic frontman.

Yep, I saw them live in a Bay Area Jr. College basketball gym.
Best.Concert.Ever.
God that’s funny
Yup.
I sure thought so. Cracks me up everytime. :)
It’s totally a stunt that I could see gunner and Laz pulling.
It seems like this guy has been the singer forever. He probably has been singer longer than Perry was.
I haven’t heard that name in years.
LOL
You mean singing Journey songs? He’s in his 40s. Has a very high “appeal” factor in my book. Open book personality, great smile, innocent and young. Perry, let’s be honest here, looks like a girl and acts like a girl.
I’m a late in coming Journey fan, and it’s primarily because of Pineda. I’m sure there are many like me out there.
Whether they like it or not, they’re an International band now, same as Houston Rockets are a Chinese team having picked up Jeremy Lin.
