It's been a long road for Journey, from their days as a progressive/rock/jazz
combo to platinum selling, stadium fillers who delivered "Lights" about their
beloved hometown, San Francisco. Well, the guys are still on the trail of
classic rock and roll, chasing down hot licks, smoking leads and crashing,
soaring, big arena-ready sounds on this Wal-Mart exclusive CD.

This deluxe three-disc package is a showcase for Journey in all of its forms --
from hit-making superstars to revitalized new group and band of old friends.
Founding members Neal Schon and Ross Vallory hold down both ends of the stage
while Jonathan Cain has been their longtime man on melodic keyboards and
guitars. Deen Castronovo has been keeping the beat steady in the band's modern
era but the revelation on this album is the introduction of its new singer as
Journey welcomes Arnel Pineda into the

Pineda is the third in a line of post-Steve Perry singers for the band but as it
turns out "third time's the charm" as Pineda is the most charismatic, vocally
adept ever frontman for the band and well, he has the best smile this side of
Quezon City, his hometown.

Pineda can handle the ballads as well as the rockers as he proves over three
discs included here. On disc one he works out on the 11 new songs featured while
disc two is his showcase to sing the classics in his own voice. Disc three is a
phenomenal concert DVD and audio-visual testament to just how easily Pineda slid
into the band's onstage vibe. It's as if he's always been there.

"Never Walk Away" is a brand new song that sounds like it could've been recorded
during the band's late '70s and early '80s superpower period -- it's just that
kind of pure and timeless rock and roll in all of its colors. Another new one,
"Wildest Dream" is a frantic hard rocker built on riffs and Pineda's throaty
wail. In the live arena he is a boundless force of energy that keeps the
audience involved.

Do we even have to tell you what he does to the emotive "Faithfully" and
ever-popular "Don't Stop Believin'?" Yep, he nails them. Pineda rockets all over
the vocal scale with extraordinary energetics on "Any Way You Want It" and
brings proper intensity to "Separate Ways."

Additionally, it must be noted that Castronovo turns in an astonishing
powerhouse vocal performance on "Mother Father" on the DVD, while Schon cuts
loose on some emotional guitar.

Pineda and Journey's new life is gong to be among rock and roll biggest stories
of this year. You don't want to miss the quite literal revelatory nature of this
extraordinary "debut" by a rock solid band and the latest chapter in their
evolution. As they say in the Philippines, mabuhay!

2 former Journey singers take the same stage:

Firefest line-up for the 2008 show is 100% confirmed. We think it's our
strongest bill to date and a conscious effort was made to try to balance the
bands that people wanted to see again with
some surprises that few could possibly expect. As our core audience seem to be
mostly AOR/melodic hard rock fans we've tried to cater specifically for them,
and despite some of the bigger names in the genre we approached being out of our
price range, we think we've put together a line-up that's strong from top to
bottom. So without further ado, here are the details of the 20 artists
appearing…

Friday 24th (Top to bottom)

VALENTINE

One of the stars of last years event, New York AOR heroes Valentine
enjoyed it so much that they've asked us if they can play again.
HUGO, Adam, Gerard, Craig and Joe will headline the Friday night and
promise a different set list to the one they played at Firefest IV.
Expect a very large helping of their self-titled debut and another
classy performance to go down in Firefest history.

Saturday 25th October (Top to Bottom)

JEFF SCOTT SOTO

Another no-brainer when trying to put together an entertaining line-
up is the one and only Mr. Jeff Scott Soto. With his multi-talented
band of Howie Simon, Gary Schutt and Dave Dzaliak in tow, the former
Malmsteen, Eyes, Talisman and Journey singer is sometimes at his best
being the underdog. By the time Firefest comes around Jeff will be
another artist with a new album to promote.

Sunday 26th October (Top to Bottom)

TALL STORIES

The surprises just keep on coming, none more than Tall Stories – the
legendary US troupe that marked the recording debut of ex-Journey
singer Steve Augeri. Steve will be joined by fellow founder members
Jack Morer (guitars) and Kevin Totoian (bass) to play songs from
their superb 1991 debut as well as new songs from their soon to be
released second album.



Tickets & Prices
We've tried to keep ticket prices as low as we can but a show which
is made up almost completely of international bands isn't cheap to
put on. The ticket prices are as follows:
Friday 24th - £25
Saturday 25th - £49
Saturday 26th - £49

Because we're using two different venues the Friday is a stand alone
show with no special price, however if you attend both Saturday and
Sunday you get a saving of £4 per day and get both for £90. Tickets
will be available direct from Monday 3rd March.
Payments Accepted: Cash (at sender's risk), postal order, or bank
draft in Pounds Sterling made payable to: Bruce Mee c/o Fireworks
Magazine, 10 Dunnock Close, Offerton, Stockport, SK2 5XD, England.
Payment can also be made through Paypal to
fireworks.mag@.... Please be sure to include your name and
address in the message box.

A full list of other tickets agents will be made available shortly.

Other quick mentions -
Firefest V is an age 14 and over show.
A press and guest list accreditation system will be implemented soon
at our website – www.thefirefest.com – could anyone wishing to apply
please refrain from contacting any member of the Firefest team about
accreditation at this time. Instructions will be given in a future
update.
All that's left to say is that we'd like to see as many of you there
as possible and we hope that you're looking forward to seeing this
great line-up as much as we are.
See you all in October – Kieran, Bruce and the Firefest team.


regards,

Russ

  NEAL:
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.”
<snip>
“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 WELCOMES ARNEL PINEDA
WITH “OPEN ARMS” TO THEIR FAMILY
AS THE BAND’S NEW LEAD SINGER


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.
