Journey is an American rock band formed in San Francisco, California in 1973, which had sold more than 100 million albums. The band has gone through several phases since its inception by former members of Santana. The band’s greates commercial success came in the late 1970s through the early 1980s with a series of powerful ballads and songs such as “Don’t stop believing”, “Faithfully”, “Open Arms” and “Separate Ways” After a few years of hiatus, they found their new lead singer, Arnel Pineda




Videos of The Zoo, which was the previous band he was in,performing cover songs by Journey, Survivor, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Air Supply, The Eagles, Kenny Loggins and other popular acts from the 70s, 80s and 90s, began appearing on YouTube.com in February 2007. On June 28, 2007, Neal Schon of Journey contacted Noel Gomez, a longtime fan and friend of Pineda who uploaded many of these videos, to ask for Pineda's contact information. Schon sent an e-mail to Pineda inviting the latter to audition for Journey. Pineda initially dismissed the e-mail as a hoax, but after being persuaded by Gomez, he finally replied to Schon's e-mail. Ten minutes later, Pineda received a phone call from Schon. On August 12, Pineda, along with his manager Bert de Leon, flew to Marin County, just north of San Francisco, for a two-day audition. The star-struck Pineda was welcomed warmly but he described the audition as "nerve-wracking, tense".

On December 5, 2007, Pineda was announced as the lead singer of Journey. CNN Headline News ran the story as part of their "News to Me" segment. The next thing you know the new band is making a new album and appearing on the Ellen Degeneres show.



Now, a new addition to a group, calls for a different dynamic.
Well,i think its more of Arnell who needs to adapt to the group.
However the group has to adapt and give leeway to him if he does any mistakes too.
There also have to be an effective group communication to hold the group together.

Group socialization is played in here, where there is a kind of contest between the individual and the group. Throughout the life of their relationship, individuals try to influence the group to meet their needs, whereas the group as a whole seeks to influence individuals to do what is best for it.


For Arnel especially, he has to adapt to group pressures.

• One way that he can do that is to recognize that full membership comes only with time. Different stages in one's relationship with a group, different behaviours are expected. Before a new member can be accepted, he or she must earn the right.

-An idiosyncrasy credit is used to explain how groups regulatr the behavious of inexperienced members.

-An idiosyncrasy credit is a kind of symbolic currency earned through conformity. By meeting group expectations, members build up a 'credit balance' that can later be traded in for innovative behaviour.

-In simple terms, you earn points if you do something to make your group happy. However this process is slow and you really have hold it out and be "good" to earn that credit. I think most of that fraction is trust.

• Adapting to group life is usually easier with support from others also. This support can come from a more experienced member who knows the ropes.

Well, Good luck to you Arnell, i hope you can be in Journey for a long time! Southeast Asia is proud of you!!
