Caught this on Angryasianman.com, Journey's new frontman is Arnel Pineda. The guitarist found him on youtube.

GQ article on Journey and Pineda (not pasting it here because it's 14 pages long):

They performed on the Ellen de Generes show:

This guy has alot of talent and is an incredible mimic. He and his band back home (The Zoo) did covers of Survivor, Cheap Trick, Air Supply, Bon Jovi, etc. Their videos are on youtube.

Check out their rendition of Alone, originally performed by Heart. He sounds eerily similar to Ann Wilson:

We even beat angry to the punch by posting it before him! (though we didn't post the Ellen part)

Oh geez, sorry dude. I don't come by very often so I didn't see it. Feel free to delete the thread then.

Not a problem! Actually, I thought I posted it before, which is why I was surprised when lingyai mentioned it. So if you see anything new, always feel free to post it in the forum!
