Even DEEN CASTRONOVO the amazing drummer for JOURNEY can sing his ass off. In this video not only is he grooving and nailing monster fills but he is singing LEAD. Hitting every note. I saw them live a few years back and this was the highlight of the show for me. Can’t wait to see them live again. Cause even with their new singer ARNEL PINEDA I am sure DEEN will sing a few leads.

The Band He Is Playing With In This Video Sucks Ass, But His Voice Is Amazing!

December 5, 2007 — After much speculation…the wait is finally over.

JOURNEY–Neal Schon (guitar), Jonathan Cain (keyboards), Ross Valory (bass), Deen Castronovo (drums)–is proud to introduce fans all over the world to their new lead singer, Arnel Pineda (“pin-eh-da”). He replaces Jeff Scott Soto, who parted ways with the band earlier this year after stepping in for Steve Augeri, who had to leave the band in 2006 for medical reasons.

Arnel hails from Quezon City in the Philippines and has been singing Journey songs–in addition to original material–with his band, The Zoo, for the past couple of years in clubs all over his homeland. Joining the legendary band is a dream come true for him.

“It’s so exciting to sing with one of the best bands in the world. It’ll be a lot of hard work on my part and I’m actually looking forward to the scrutiny I’ll get from the hardcore JOURNEY fans. I know they’ll expect me to sound exactly like ‘the voice’ (Steve Perry), but that will never happen. I know there’s only one Steve Perry in this world.”

When it was time for JOURNEY to look for a new lead singer, the internet came to their rescue. Guitarist Neal Schon wanted someone new to the music business, so he turned to YouTube. After finding Arnel singing “Faithfully,” he knew he had found the perfect frontman.
“I was frustrated about not having a singer,” explains guitarist Neal Schon, “so I went on YouTube for a couple of days and just sat on it for hours. I was starting to think I was never going to find anybody. But then I found The Zoo and I watched a bunch of different video clips that they had posted. After watching the videos over and over again, I had to walk away from the computer and let what I heard sink in because it sounded too good to be true. I thought, ‘he can’t be that good.’ But he is that good, he’s the real deal and so tremendously talented. Arnel doesn’t sound synthetic and he’s not emulating anyone. I tried to get a hold of him through YouTube and I finally heard from him that night, but it took some convincing to get him to believe that it really was me and not an imposter.”

Arnel Pineda picks up the story: “My friend Noel picked up the message on YouTube and told me it was from Neal. I thought it was a hoax so I ignored it. Noel said, ‘what if it really was Neal and he wanted to offer you the chance of a lifetime?’ So I e-mailed Neal back and the rest is history.”

“Arnel brings a soulful and passionate voice to JOURNEY,” continues keyboardist Jonathan Cain. “His personality is very well-suited to our music. He’s a sincere, authentic person with a great smile and a big heart. I think fans are really going to love him. With Arnel’s soaring tenor, Journey returns to our heritage sound.”

Schon agrees, “We feel reborn. I think there’s a lot of chemistry between the five of us. At first we were going to go into the studio and just write 4 songs, but now it’s escalated to a lot of great new and diverse material. The stuff sounds tremendous. Everyone’s so stoked about it. We feel very fortunate to have found Arnel.”

JOURNEY is currently working on a new album with legendary producer Kevin Shirley, which they hope to release by spring/summer 2008. Details will be announced early next year.

It’s Breezin but Freezin. Dr. Trey, The Icon and V. Brown all hagin out for the 3rd show of the night. Usually by this time, they are all pretty drunk, but Dr. Trey talks a bit about Poke and what makes good Poke. If you’re not aware of what Poke is, Poke technically means to dice and it often best used to describe diced fish. Vern Brown brings another segment of his to the program. He reads an email from one of his listeners and believe it or not we’re still talking about the Super Ferry. Believe it or not, Bran is trying to be more positive. If it works, it could be a huge testimony for this book he’s reading called “The Wind Is My Mother.” Also, it’s been awhile since we’ve done this, but this one is available as an enhanced version. Keep in mind that the enhanced versions will take a bit longer to show up on the feed. If you want the promised link because you have DoctorTrey.com on your top 8 MySpace, email Dr. Trey with the link to your MySpace Page. For the record, meebo has a chatroom now, so we’re going to use it for the live shows. Also, if you want to get notified when we’re doing a live show, jump on twitter and get text messages sent to your phone informing you of this.

Check out this reggae band from New Zealand. Recognize anyone in the band? Well if you are a fan of our show you should. On Keyboards and Vocals is none other than BRET (Present). He’s driving the car in this video. I guess he got a GIG!

This thing is basically a delay box. It’s called the DL4 by Line 6 but it offers so much more than just simple delay. Check out Kanoa as he readies himself to record a song based only on 1 track of recording through the DL4
