In late 2007 Journey guitarist Neal Schon discovered his band's new singer - Arnel Pineda - on YouTube. By the winter of 2008 the talented Filipino was recording a new CD and hitting the road with the classic rockers. Fast forward 6 months and the group's new CD has gone platinum and their Revelation tour with Heart and Cheap Trick has concluded to rave reviews after playing to packed houses in Europe and the United States.

Fans should expect to see more of Pineda, who was introduced to the world in Chile in February and then again on their best-seller's DVD concert, when the new year turns. Unconfirmed reports on a band fan site indicate Journey will travel East for an Asian tour and they will video a homecoming concert in Pineda's Philippines in the early part of 2009. Also underway is what promises to be an enlightening and inspiring feature-length documentary on Journey - tentatively titled "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey" - which should be out sometime after the band's first year anniversary of this new and successful line-up. Award-winning director Ramona Diaz been granted "full access to the band" and her and her crew have been following Journey from rehearsals to concert stages around the world. Diaz, who was born and raised in the Philippines, promises that the film will be about the resurgence of Journey with the hook being Arnel's universal Cinderella rags-to-riches story.
