Steve Perry left Journey in 1997. They have had several lead singers since Steve P left. Deen is my favorite.

@@scottjensen2443 Love Deen’s voice. Not sure he could sing every song in concert and drum too. Did he ever sing all the songs?

Considering this is from 2019 I would say Steve was at home or in bed

Find his version of open arm if you haven’t already. Quite good. He holds some phrases a bit long at times but very versatile voice.

He's still not where Steve Perry is, but he is the best of the rest.

Yes because his son can play drums

You should listen to DEAN sing. Happy to give, which is probably journey's most difficult song to sing ever. He nails it. I mean, every note. His octaves are high. Incredible performance you tube it phenomenal It was never sung life ever until Dean performed it, it was heard at the end of the movie North Shore.

@@davino108I agree with you on every point you make. I will look for this song. You are preaching to the choir here. I was playing the Journey Through Time video and asked my son who was singing "Open Arms" and his answer was Steve Perry. After going to the concert was when I found the Journey Through Time video and audio only videos on KZfaq. I had to buy them once they were available, because I wanted to hear Deen singing the lead vocals. His voice and range is magical.

@MeanColleen That's very cool, you gone to the concert. And yes, I agree with you 100%.

​@MeanColleen That's why the record company shut down Journey Through Time, they sounded better than the current Journey band. That was Neil's way to get Deen back into Journey by showcasing his vocal and drum talents being the lead vocal while on drums in Journey Through Time.

I played and toured as a drummer in a Journey Tribute band. I also sang background vocals. Singing BGV’s to these songs playing drums is tough enough. Singing lead vocals is insane but to Deen, it’s just another day on the job. Deen sang Mother Father too. He’s a beast as a vocalist. He’s one of the top drummers in the world too IMO!

Agreed. You're practically anaerobic at that point having to hold and compress notes and still drum as hard as Deen hits! He's a beast.

@@craigjames5150 ..."Anaerobic", good point..! 😉

I agree

Wow

Much Respect for Deen

.....and now hes back!! Check him out singing Mother Father in 2022!!

Especially as a smoker! 😮

Lead singer

That was ridiculous, that was awesome. He should just replace arnel seriously.

I agree with that 100%.

Castronovo is a monster playing drums and singing, both. This guy is a prodigy as a musician.

Not sacrilege. Credit where credit is due. He's incredible and I'm a die-hard Perry fan. Arnel was great technically, but Deen has the thing...the thing that Perry's got, Deen's got it too. Arnel doesn't have it.

What ever,Arnel still Rocking their Tour,he's one of the best.I love both ex Vocalist singer from Journey.Each one if them has their own Uniqueness.

@@emzlarge5280 I got love for all of them. Arnel is a good front man, moving around at the front of the stage. And if I could restore the OG Perry, course I would. But many people agree, people of high musical pedigree, Deen is the best vocalist between him and Arnel.

I agree

@@amythinks he's the best thing next to Perry but he's too shy to perfom without hiding in his drums 😂

Im a filipino Im proud of arnel pineda for being part of journey but to be real Deen is the best of them all 💖

@@kianangeloamarillo4556 Steve is actually the best by a long shot

@@Gma00001 Hmmmmmmmmmm. Deen is as good. It's just true. Except that Perry paved the way for the sound...vocally...Deen is imitating him, but sorry, he's just as good. Although, I haven't heard Deen sing in those crazy octaves that Perry sings for Wheel in the Sky...

@@amythinks Deen isn't even close. The tone of their voices is pretty similar but still, Perry's voice is the most beautiful thing ever. And obviously the range of Steve is head and shoulders above Deen's. Wheel in the sky is a great example, Deen was just mediocre in the song, but there are more examples too

@@Gma00001 Agree to disagree.

He is one of the best! Top two of not the best all around drummer and one hell of a person!

Much of that lack of credit comes from his self inflicted damage to his person & reputation. Monster singer & drummer tho. No doubt he’s a beast.

That's what I said! Did they ever ask him though?.

He's back with Journey. :)

@@adinadamian5634 Thats so Awesome! Thanks for the Up Date! DC.👍

Su gran problema es su adiccion a las drogas,alcohol nadie es perfecto .

I saw the same concert in Columbia SC....it was a great show!

What happened to Karen Carpenter? Maybe Ringo Starr? Oh, there's Phil Collins too, he's pretty good. LOL

@@Pepening If of course Karen an excellent voice and also one of the beautiful singers of his time. Not only in drums but all kinds of percussion instrument. She is a woman's inspiration. What I mean is that as much as vocally or in the drums of Castronovo, the performance is very similar, they are both very high levels or to be executed at the same time. Castronovo is a beast drummer and a beast vocal that can emulate Steve Perry one the best high pitch singer ever. But I strongly agree with you regarding Star, Collins and Carpenter. Excellent comment my friend!

@@julsrique9148 its so hard to sing and play drums :/

Harvey Gotos I would like to add Roger Taylor from Queen into the list! The guy has a 4 octave vocal range and can play drums as good as the people mentioned earlier.

@@marcusdamianbaloyo1336 ahh yess!!! How can i forget, most definitely!!!

You’re spectacularly wrong. Journey never, not even once, lowered the key with Steve Perry.

if you mean that concert in 91, Perry just had a bad day, in 1994 he sang as goddes.

@@DgeminisM even then I wouldn’t have called it a bad day. He probably hadn’t sang a note since ‘97

@@DgeminisM he lowered it in a half step in 90s, but 80s were at the same condition of tone

@@josephcalitri5710 - Not sure if they ever lowered the key, but Perry's newest solo release is not the same Perry of the 80's. I don't think Perry could compete with Deen today. That said, Perry of the 80's remains the best ever.

Rape and drugs will get you booted anywhere! Talented but come on?! Arnel is great

@@jamihoush2537 sorry KAREN! I was referring to the comment. However if you wanna jump to NFL network too then go for it. IDK even know who ur talking too lol Peace

@@Mahoney5881 like I said Karen, you say nothing about the NFL and their record of drug abuse and rape. But are quick to jump on Deen. Again soy boy what business is it of yours?

@@jamihoush2537 soy boy? K. Hop over and message your outrage on people in NFL and other sporting videos. Get your point heard as I dont know what it is nor do I care. Way off track here Have a good 1

@@Mahoney5881 point being again. It's NONE of you business. He's already back with Journey.
