After recent speculation, it's official. Journey announced today they've hired a new set of vocal chords to belt out seminal power ballads like "Don't Stop Believin'" -- and they have YouTube to thank.
Videos of Arnel Pineda, formerly with a band called the Zoo, were discovered by Journey axeman Neil Schon, who has heaps o' praise for the group's FOURTH SIXTH (!) singer (the legendary Steve Perry stopped believin' in '96 -- perhaps he's too busy cultivating the best ponytail ever? ...Jeff Scott Soto boned out this year; Steve Augeri left in '06; and, news to me, there were two other singers before Perry. [thanks Chuck!])
