IPINAGTANGGOL ng drummer ng US rock band na Journey ang kanilang lead singer na si Arnel Pineda na na-bash nang husto dahil sa performance nito sa nakaraang Rock in Rio concert.
Sa Instagram, inihayag ni Deen Castronovo na dapat manatili ni Pineda sa banda dahil “Arnel has RISEN to the challenge of Journey’s catalog, NIGHT after NIGHT, YEAR after tiring YEAR! He gives to YOU ALL and Journey, the best that he can give you.”
Ang boses ay isang “biological instrument” na maaaring maapektuhan ng maraming bagay kaya tanong niya, “What’s the point of hammering a human being over something they have no control over?”
“I know very few who can pull off what Arnel does without ego and with passion and grace,” ani Castronovo sabay babala na, “BACK OFF TROLLS! You are MESSING with MY FAMILY NOW and I am A RABID PROTECTOR OF MY OWN!!!”
Si Castronovo ang ikalawang miyembro ng Journey na nagtanggol kay Pineda.
Matatandaang tinawag ng gitarista at founding member na si Neal Schon na “absolute garbage fabricated bulls***” ang mga puna bago sinabi kay Arnel na “You’ve kicked a**!”
