By
Aerosmith-Janie's-got-a-gun-single cover

“Janie’s Got A Gun” was the very first song that I heard from Aerosmith. Yet many years after that, it still remains to be my all-time favorite hit from the band. While I wasn’t that aware enough of the song when it was first released way back in 1989, it was later on somewhere between the years 1995 to 1996 that I heard it being played in the radio from an FM station called NU107. We were in the car with my family on our way home and the song immediately grabbed my attention and made me think what the song really meant.

A ‘Journey’ taken

By

How befitting indeed that the name of the band of which Arnel Pineda has been the lead singer since late 2007 and with whom he formally made his debut on stage with them in 2008, is called Journey—that is, if we take into consideration everything Arnel Pineda had gone through in his life and all the challenges he had faced before he got that phone call which would forever change his life. The unfolding of events in his life and how he was catapulted to international fame after many years of hardwork is the stuff movies are made of and these circumstances do not just happen to everyone.
