Journey’s Arnel Pineda Ready to Quit the Band if We Want Him to

Well, at least he knows how to take accountability? Journey frontman Arnel Pineda has been hearing an earful about the band’s performance at this year’s Rock in Rio festival. More specifically, he’s been hearing a lot about his performance during their set, and it’s led him to promise a resignation if fans REALLY want it.

He took to his Facebook Sunday letting fans know he’ll “step out for good” if enough people on social media want him to. Why? Because the Facebook profile Behind the Songs shared a video of his performance at the festival, ragging on how shitty it was because of his “bad voice” and “severe vocal failure.” That’s a big fuckin ouch, y’all.

Along with a clip of said terrible execution, Pineda had this to say about it all:

“once again,thank u so much everyone who came to @journeyofficial show since #february this year ..i appreciate uou all do kuch..anf not only that,everytime that im on stage w/ the band, i feel this immense gratitude,humility and honor..

“i am very aware of this. no one more than me in this world feels so devastated about this…

“its really amazing how 1 thousand right things you have done will be forgotten just cause of THIS..and of all the place , its in Rock In Rio…

“mentally and emotionally, ive suffered already,and im still sufferring..but i’ll be ok..

“so here’s the deal here now..i am offering you a chance now ( especially those who’s hated me and never liked me from the very beginning) to simply text GO or STAY right here.. and if GO reaches 1million… im stepping out for good..

“are you game folks? let’s start…

“God bless all of you and thank you once again to all of the fans and friends who believed in me [s]ince Day1.”

Honestly, I respect his candor. It takes a lot to admit that you didn’t do your best, let alone the fact that you actually did quite poorly. Check out the snippet below and see for yourself.
