Journey's Neal Schon gives the kiss of death to Arnel Pineda....a vote of confidence.

You have to understand the history of Journey to realize that Neal's comments mean that Arnel's days with Journey are numbered. It's very close to a sports GM giving the head coach or manager a vote of confidence in the press....and them firing them 2 weeks later. Journey is selling a boatload of albums these days with Arnel. But that hasn't stopped the band from imploding before......Just ask Steve Perry, Steve Augeri or Jeff Scott Soto......

Melodic Rock: Neal Schon added to his recent blog update with the following comment - cause we know people love to read into things! "Just in case there's any doubt about Arnel being a full band member... He is and has been for some time now. He will be writing the new record with us. Have a great day!"
