When he got the good vibe again, we clicked. Four years with him was very special. And 11 years with Ross was amazing. I cannot ask for anything more. The group has dealt with a lot of tensions and feuds during your time with them, but you always remain neutral and out of the fray. How do you do that? I try to stay away. I talk to everybody without having to talk about their differences.
Your White House visit caused a bit of controversy. Do you have any regrets about going there and meeting Trump? I do not. As a Filipino, I am such a big fan of the White House. I was just amazed. When I went there, I looked at all the pictures of past presidents and how old everything was. And then the table where President Trump was seated was about years old. His presidential guard was laughing at me because President Trump was talking to the other members [of the band] and I was just mesmerized by the table.
This is truly years old? He must understand. Because of the recent banning of some countries from coming in here, we got delayed. Even my online streaming concert was moved to April 18th. It was supposed to happen in February. Back to the movie, do you think being on set and watching someone play a younger version of you will be a surreal experience? The premier was in Tribeca. Do you think the actor in the movie will actually sing, or will you provide the vocals? Do you remember the Queen movie [ Bohemian Rhapsody ]?
Marc Martel did the voice. Crazy Rich Asians is a great movie. It really humbled me. They should film it in Manila and not somewhere else. It should look authentic. They definitely will. At one point in my life, I was really on drugs.
It quite affected my memory. I need to recover all those things that happened to me when I was young. Scott Silver is quite happy with what I was able to tell him. Me too. Newswire Powered by.

Path Created with Sketch. The band came in as runner up and Pineda won the Best Vocalist Award. After a series of unfortunate health problems in the early '90s, including the brief loss of his voice, Pineda re-emerged in with a new solo album with Warner Brothers. The self-titled album had several hits in Asia. The Zoo performed at several popular clubs in the area and, in , released an album by MCA Universal titled Zoology.
Soon the band began covering songs by groups such as Journey, Survivor, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles and more, with more than performances uploaded to YouTube.
On June 28, , Neal Schon, guitarist and member of the band Journey, saw a video of Pineda on YouTube and immediately contacted him. The band had been looking for a new lead singer, and Pineda's voice sounded strikingly similar to Steve Perry, Journey's legendary former front man.
After speaking with Schon on the phone, Pineda made arrangements to fly to the United States and audition with the band in San Francisco. On December 5, , Pineda was welcomed as the band's new lead singer. Right away, Pineda went on tour with the band, performing two shows in Chile and two in Las Vegas. Both were a huge success. After a series of guest show appearances and magazine features, Pineda gained popularity within the American public. On June 3, , the newly organized Journey released their first album, Revelation , which came in at No.
The album was their highest charting album since Trial by Fire with Steve Perry , and reached platinum status by October Soon after the album's release, the band continued touring around the world with Pineda.
The documentary, Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey , slated to be released in , will chronicle the band's "Revelation Tour," and Pineda's first years with the band. When he is not on tour, Pineda resides in the Philippines with his wife, Cherry, their children, Cherub and Thea. He has two other sons—Matthew, 19, and Angelo, 13—from past relationships. The addition of Perry shifted the vocal focus decisively, as Rolie's total makes clear.
Within just two albums, the new guy almost eclipsed Rolie for career lead songs. In fact, Journey would release eight more records — including a movie soundtrack and a live project — before anyone not named Steve Perry sang another note.
Fans responded by sending Infinity to the edge of the Top 20, a best-ever finish at the time. Evolution They switched out a member, as former Ronnie Montrose drummer Steve Smith took over for Aynsley Dunbar, but otherwise kept apace with a huge musical shift. This album confirmed Journey's move from hard-rocking jam band to multi-platinum pop stars: "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" from Evolution became their first Top 20 hit single.
Departure Rolie shares the mic one last time on the utterly gorgeous "Someday Soon," but this album's No. Journey issued two place-keeping projects, including a movie soundtrack and a concert recording, while plotting their next move. This live document celebrating Journey's early years included two previously unreleased songs, both featuring Perry at the mic. Rolie had already exited by the time Captured arrived, so "The Party's Over" — a new studio addition — featured a different keyboardist: Stevie Roseman later worked with Schon and Valory on solo projects.
Escape Keyboardist Jonathan Cain came over from the Babys to give Journey another creative voice, but he didn't possess the vocal chops of his predecessor.
Steve Perry continued to dominate every subsequent Journey album he appeared on. Together, however, they found another commercial gear as the career-making Escape sold as many copies in the U. Frontiers Journey entered a period of stops and starts. The next trio of albums all sold very well.
In fact, they scored the band's highest-ever chart position in the U. But success can sometimes be a double-edged sword: Their subsequent total of nine platinum awards in the states only equaled what Escape had done all by itself.
Under enormous pressure, Journey's most successful lineup fracturing along the way.
