(<a href="http://stereogum.com/archives/video/cheapest-audition-ever-journey-searches-youtube-fi_007402.html">via</a>) <small><i>"I was frustrated about not having a singer," explains guitarist Neal Schon, "so I went on YouTube for a couple of days and just sat on it for hours. I was starting to think I was never going to find anybody. But then I found THE ZOO and I watched a bunch of different video clips that they had posted. After watching the videos over and over again, I had to walk away from the computer and let what I heard sink in because it sounded too good to be true. I thought, 'he can't be that good.' But he is that good, he's the real deal and so tremendously talented. Arnel doesn't sound synthetic and he's not emulating anyone. I tried to get a hold of him through YouTube and I finally heard from him that night, but it took some convincing to get him to believe that it really was me and not an imposter."</i></small></i> tag:metafilter.com,2008:site.69319 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:33:04 -0800 amazing cover don'tstopbelieving journey music obscure phillipines ragstoriches song songs youtube flatluigi
