This must be the longest stretch of time you’ve been home since you joined Journey in 2007. ![]() ![]() Otherwise, I would have been stuck in America for six months before they let me back. I arrived here in Manila last year just a week and a half before the lockdown began. We checked in with Pineda via Zoom to talk about his lockdown life in Manila, the in-progress Journey record, the upcoming biopic about his life, and why he still dreams about a Journey reunion with Steve Perry. They were replaced by bassist Randy Jackson (who briefly toured and recorded with Journey in 1986–87) and drummer Narada Michael Walden, who’s doubling as the album’s producer. It’s their first full-length since parting ways with drummer Steve Smith and bassist Ross Valory. The pandemic changed all that and he’s been in Manila ever since, but Journey still found a way to work remotely on the record. He was gearing up for a big year in which Journey would cut their first new record since 2011’s Eclipse and play amphitheaters all over North America with the Pretenders. In early 2020, Journey frontman Arnel Pineda flew back to his native Manila after playing a corporate gig in Texas.
