If “Don’t Stop Believing” (complete with Steve Perry’s luscious locks and animal-print shirt) isn’t yet lodged into every ounce of your subconscious, chances are you’re either a hipster lying to yourself about how much you actually enjoy Journey or you’re dead on the inside. Simple as that.

That being said, the band has always only been about Steve Perry. Did anyone really care about Steve Augeri-led Journey? What about Jeff Scott Soto? Nah, I didn’t think so.

In news that is sure to thrill karaoke singers and cover-band members everywhere, Journey discovered their new singer, Arnel Pineda, on YouTube. And, just like a Mark Wahlberg-less Rock Star, Pineda has suddenly found himself as the front-man for the legendary band.

Above is Pineda’s debut, and, well, judge for yourself. Dude seems to hold his own, despite his bad facial hair and lack of an animal-print shirt. However, despite his best effort, there’s only one man I want to go anywhere with on a midnight train.
