SDS Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Pretty cool. Mother teaches Philippino boy to sing and she eventually dies. Boy is homeless, lives in Manilla Park picking up scrap metal to buy bread. Eventually starts making money singing in clubs. Ends up having a video put on YouTube of a live performance. Members of Journey stumble across him covering a Journey tune and fly him in for an audition... Sounds more like Steve Perry than Steve Perry does. Homeless to touring the USA with Journey... Pretty nice story. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/06/01/...in4142967.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I saw it. What I find interesting, is later that same day hearing that Boston found it's new singer on the net also.... Boston Needed Lead Singer, Found One Online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I haven't been interested in Journey with either of the other non-Perry front men, but I may pick up a copy of Revelation when Amazon gets it. This Pineda kid seems like a good guy, and I'm looking forward to hearing their new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjeff215 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I was going to post something about him a few weeks ago, but I really think someone might have already: Check these out: And his band before Journey got him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPK3-33ouhw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf-2Rk_uIPU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDhOYktUhyQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 On a tangent… I love the Steve Perry psych-outs in Baseketball. "Shoulda been go-one." They had to ban them because they were too effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOR Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Nice story, for both guys. The singer Journey had before Pineda sounded exactly like Steve Perry as well, and kinda looked like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spun Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I saw Journey play along with the Stones and George Thorogood at then named Rich Stadium. From what I remember (not much), Journey finished early as the Stones fans were "agitating". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I saw Journey play along with the Stones and George Thorogood at then named Rich Stadium. From what I remember (not much), Journey finished early as the Stones fans were "agitating". I saw Thorogood in college once. It was a good rock n roll show.

ACor58 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 It's like I always say, there are two types of people in this world. Journey fans and freaking liars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 My mom was talking about watching that the other day on CBS Its one of those stories that when you hear about it, you can't help but pull for the guy to succeed. She also mentioned something too about him having problems withgetting a passport or visa to come over to the states or something to audition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
