Have you heard Arnel Pineda's vocal work with the band yet?
"Of course I paid attention to their next move, how could I not? It's like looking to see who your ex is dating next after she dumps you. I love his voice -- it's organic, natural and sounds like he does it with ease most of the time.''
"My opinion about him being a Perry clone is a bit different than others'. He emulates the songs very well, but there's a sense of the 'feeling' that is missing for me, which is a good thing because it helps him retain his own identity. Perry had this very soulful swagger to his singing that is something more felt than emulated."
"Perry is a master, often imitated, never duplicated. I don't want this to sound negative in ANY way, Arnel is an AMAZING singer and I give him much respect for his position now!"

"All I can say is I put my whole life and dedication to continuing with them after I was officially deemed a permanent member of the band. I had no idea there were any issues, concerns, discussions or plans otherwise nor was there any given to me prior to my dismissal. I wish I could say it was amicable but I can't."

This statement says alot! Like schon and cain are liars. I believed they referred to Jeff as a "relief pitcher"

Yep, pretty much says it all!

I think our MR friends should read this too.
I do feel bad that Tito cant respond though

Ya i know, it is always a shame to miss the chance at a man making a complete ass out of himself!!

nice article. I would say priveatly (speculation my part) that privately in his house somewhere he has a DART BOARD and throws darts or worse at CAIN and SCHON...
just to get out his frustrations with what could have been. But glad he moved on, I love 21 centrury.

Nice article, however as far as the dart board goes??? JSS is one of the top performers out there he simply doesn't need to do that.

Soto will always take the high road. He's not anything but class.

You still going to see Sir Soto this weekend Ed?
If so, please let us know how the show goes.
Take some pics for us too please.
