Journey is currently touring from to city to city to celebrate their 50th anniversary and even though they look civil while performing on stage, there are many issues that fans aren't aware of that are happening behind closed doors. More recently, Arnel Pineda seemingly expressed his true feelings amid the feud of his bandmates.
The current frontman's name wasn't involved in the issue until Neal Schon opened up about Gregg Rolie joining them on tour last month.
The original plan didn't push through and the musician's wife, Michaele Schon, claimed that the reason behind it was because there were two band members in the current lineup that are "adamant no" with the idea.

and don’t lecture me about spiritual BS..#walkthetalk
At the time, Pineda took to his official Twitter account after receiving negative comments on social media as many fans believe that it was him and Jonathan Cain who were against with the idea of Rolie coming back to Journey.
"You people are unbelievable... whoever's spreading rumor about me regarding the #GregRollie issue are maliciously ignorant..im not gonna stoop down to your level.." he wrote.
More recently, the frontman spoke out again, seemingly airing out his frustration about the issue of his bandmates without naming anyone, saying he's part of Journey to "sing the legacy."
"If some of them are tired of me being with them,with all means,they can fire me anytime.. and don't lecture me about spiritual BS," he wrote.
Pineda later added another tweet, telling haters to stop reminding him where he came from because it's in his heart every day.
Following this, former frontman Jeff Scott Soto shared a positive message for the vocalist, saying he doesn't owe anyone any explanation because he's a kind person and he should "stay the course" regardless of how many people wanted to break him down.
The recent tweet comes after Neal Schon sued Jonathan Cain after claiming that he had been denied access to the band's financial records.
The musician alleged that his bandmate set up a credit card using Journey's name without asking for consent and millions of dollars "flowed through it."
Cain explained that the main reason behind his feud with Schon was because of his "reckless spending" and his allegations regarding the access to records were false.
