Releasing a cover version of a classic song is always dangerous, as fans don’t always appreciate hearing new versions of their favorites. However, sometimes a new version comes out that makes fans question which song is better. That’s exactly what fans are asking now, after Journey’s Arnel Pineda teamed up with Whitesnake’s Joel Hoekstra and Billy Sheehan from Mr. Big for a cover of the Steve Miller Band song, ‘Abracadabra.’

The new version of Abracadabra was released earlier this week, and fans are already asking to hear more from this new super group. According to Blabbermouth, each musician recorded their part separately. “Big thanks to my good friends for this awesome collaboration,” said Pineda.

Many fans were amazed by the cover, with some wondering if there will be more covers by the combination of Pineda, Sheehan and Hoekstra. It is unknown if more new music is on the way. For now, fans will just have to enjoy this version of ‘Abracadabra.’
