I wasn't a huge fan of their music at all, but those albums with Greg Rolie singing some with Perry were best. Infinity, Departure and Evolution albums were really good. Then a live album "Captured" did well. After Rolie left and Jonathon Cain joined, I know they hit the stratosphere,.it just seemed more ballad driven and while I didn't hate it, I just lost interest.

That album was recorded at the Plant Studios in 1985, I was the owner at the time, some great records done in those 3 studios. Neal had this ability to create interesting melodies just noodling around on an acoustic while chatting to someone. I never saw anyone who was so creative unintentionally while thinking of something else. Steve and Neal doing a collaboration would be magical. There was some conflict during the production of that album due to Steve co producing so the long time bass player and Steve Smith the jazz drummer left and suddenly it came together. Some of the best records were done under interpersonal tension. Also done at that studio was much of the Fleetwood Mac Rumours was done when the two couples were breaking up amid lots of screaming, anger and tears.

I would LOVE to hear a Steve Perry & Neal Schon R&B album That would just be awesome

I messaged schon during one within his multitudes live home studio videos, towards the strat he was playing within a particular live video, approx 20-minutes later schon messaged myself back, his response was "Love em".

Warms the soul to hear that he wants to work with Steve Perry soon! They co-wrote some timeless stuff together! Can't wait!!!

My first concert was Boston August 20th 1978 in Buffalo's War Memorial Auditorium... affectionately known as The Aud Sammy Hagar opened up the show...I was 15 and had just discovered Arena Rock and Roll! What a great time going to all those shows that are now what makes up classic rock... simpler times for sure 😊😎

Back in the early 90's i saw Van Hagar in Dallas. There was a specific part of the show where Eddie would play a riff and Sammy would sing the riff. If you think what you hear on Sammy's records is amazing. You should have heard what was coming out of this man's lungs when he and Eddie were trading licks...i can't even explain it. only someone else who was there would truly know what i'm talking about.

Message of love, when you love a woman, don't be down on me baby, when I think of you, easy to fall, still she cries. So many amazing Journey deep cuts on that album! You really get the sense that Neal finally found his signature voice with that album - his approach to soloing really has not changed all that much since that 1996 record. My desert album island for sure.

I love this interview with old friends. Great, stuff, great jam.

Whenever the greatest guitar players are talked about no one mentions Neal Schon. I think it's because of his humbleness. When you listen to Journey you can tell that his solos were meant to fit within the song rather than eclipse it. Schon restrains himself for the good of the song. He won't "show off" his skills if it doesn't fit the melody and tone of the song.

Had the pleasure of seeing Journey in 81. Personally, I’d like to see Perry play with the original members once more. Just once more fellas.

Love both these guys. Sammy looks and sounds great for 64, let alone 74! Neal's one of my favorite live guitar players. He puts on a great show and you can feel his enjoyment..

Took me forever but then it hit me that they both did that record in 1984, HSAS with the song, "Through The Fire". Jesus! I knew it would come to me eventually what their association was. But yeah... one of MANY of Neal's side projects.

I just don't know if I'd put him top 5 or not based on the music of Journey. I know he can play though. Done stuff with Jan Hammer. More Jazz fusion. Which is what the bands first 2-3 albums before they hit it big were. Before Steve Perry. It's all about the songs. I'd probably have him top 12-15. Not top 5. He's good though

Wishy washy? How could anyone choose just one with all the questions he was asked?

Two classic rock, genious performers!

Schon is a very underrated guitarist and performer. The man can absolutely jam! He also happens to be a really good guy. Sammy is Sammy. I love that dude!! Both of these guys are living a dream. I’d love to party with Sammy.

I would say underappreciated.

I have loved Neil Schon from the moment I first heard him play. Still so fast! What a joy it's been just to try to learn from him. I loved how he explained how it is when you decide to play. He just put Hendrix and Clapton in his pocket. That's literally how it is!

Can I get a Hell yea?!?! Man, both you guys.. Wow. lol. This was a totally great interview, Sammy, and totally great answers Neal lmao!!! Both! Best answer I ever heard! :D I'll never forget that one ;) Not to mention that incredible jam! I could heard 20 more mins of that. Sammy, I used to go ride out in the woods in Wilburton OK in '76, on some back roads with a couple friends, light up a hoogar (pardon the pun), and get stoned as shit listening to Montrose on 8-Track! Neal, I of course heard Journey like everyone else on the radio, but it was when I found Journey's first 2 albums i was really blown away. AND last but not least, I was in the Navy when HSAS came out! and I immediately bought the cassette. I even remember what that means now too after all these years. Hagar, Shon,Arronson & Shrieve. God I hope I got that right. lol. AWESome album! Top of the Rock!!! "every kid on the street, knows I'm a Rocker!" Damn straight! Did I mention i saw both bands live at the (2) Texxas World Music festivals (Texas Jam 1 & 2). I wanna say Journey was at the first one in '78. and Sammy the Red Rocker was at the second one in '79. I was at both. This was such a fun interview between two giants in the rock and roll music world. Blows me away. this was only a few days ago? So cool!!!! Ok, I'll stop gushing. I'm just a total fan of both of you guys over the years! Thanks! Dennis 61 years Marshall, TX, via Austin! ;)

I follow Neil on Instagram, He actually talks to his fans, an actual living legend

2 legends!!! I love Sammy's show.

2 Legends and just great dudes!

Neal just has a style that is so unmatched. It’s a perfect combination of blazing speed and absolute finesse, with a beautifully melodic anger and aggression. He’s one of the all time greats and still ripping it better than most.

One of the most underappreciated guitar players who had the power to pull me away from the rhythm section and pay attention to the lead guitar. Love you Neal and Sammy!

Love these guys, have always kept the “Rock Bones” in whatever style of music there’re into! Only complaint is…. It ain’t long enough for me, an hour in the least for all these iconic interviews that Sammy’s Rock’n Roadshow does!!😎✌🏼❤️🎸🎸🥁🎹🎼🎧🎯

Neal is a incredible guitar player I've ever seen, and to see he missed steve even though his not saying it. Acknowledging steve is one of the greatest. Thank you sir for Acknowledging my greatest ever favorite singer.

Neal always has that face like “Are you not entertained” when he’s playing guitar, and the answer is yes I am, and you’re amazing.

Friendly reminder that Sammy is in his mid 70s filming this

Sammy nailed it. Schon is a melodic shredder which sounds like a contradiction but it works for him.

I've always loved Neal's playing... it's so good! Great to see those two having fun!

both still enjoy their craft, and show it, such great guys to listen too, and Neal is very humble,,,,
