In what continues to be a lively year for AOR giants Journey, Neal Schon and Deen Castronovo have both gone on the offensive after singer Arnel Pineda's performance during the band's recent Rock In Rio show in Brazil was criticised online.

According to a handful of posts around the Internet, Journey vocalist Arnel Pineda performed so poorly at Rock In Rio that he's asking fans if he should step down from the band. According to Journey guitarist Neal Schon, it's a buncha media hype and another band is to blame.

This all mostly stems from a post by Facebook profile Behind the Songs in which they shared video of the performance in question. In addition to posting the video, the page ripped into Pineda’s performance, saying it was bad because of his “bad voice” and “severe vocal failure.”
