Everyone’s had a JOURNEY moment. Maybe you were at a bar and “Open Arms” came on the jukebox prompting you to sing along. Perhaps you attended a wedding and the band kicked off a stirring rendition of “Faithfully”. Or it could be that you forgot how awesome, “Don’t Stop Believing” was until you were reminded during the series finale of The Sopranos. Well it seems one man’s Journey moment landed him a job.

This clip came across the back room this week and it was too good not to share. The band had been without singer, Steve Perry for some time now. But it seems they’ve finally found a perfectly suitable replacement and in a pretty unlikely spot. On the internet, in the Philipines.

The band recently recruited, Arnel Pineda after guitarist Neal Schon found him on the internet doing cover songs of his band. Schon was so impressed with Pineda he was rehearsing with the band just days later.

So now the band has a new Filipinio singer who, according to other accounts on the internet, doesn’t speak much English, but can belt out Journey songs like he wrote those things himself.
