Neal schon 🔥👍🏼 the reason why im super addicted to journey .
same me. wuth Arnel also
Neal Schon is just an incredible guitarist, song writer, and musician. Just amazing! One of the absolute best.
💯
Yeah, I remember reading eddie van halen had a lot of respect for Neal and his playing. The two were good friends.
Agreed
I agree Neal is superb!
The new Journey album Freedom is surprisingly good
These guys are brothers from another mother. They act like they grew up together. Two of the best hard working musicians around. I still love that HSAS album they did. Great shit!
I have a brother from a broken rubber.
Wish HSAS lasted longer! Great band!
@@markhunter965😂😂😂
It was classy of Neal to compliment Steve.
I was shocked to hear him say that he expected to do something with Steve- interesting
Sammy Hagar & Neal Schon doing a duet on personal Jesus is exactly what i needed to hear this morning.....DAMN this was amazing
I remember being holed up in my bedroom wearing out a cassette tape learning the outro solo of 'Stone in Love'.
Stone in Love is probably my all time favorite Journey song
the greatest guitar bridge ever
two of the very nicest guys in the business...EVER !
Two people play music that goes together very well. To this day, I still watch a throwback clip from 1983 called HSAS.
In case you haven't, do yourself a favour and listen to the first 3 Journey albums. They're in a league completely of their own. Progressive psychedelic masterpieces! Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie together was something truly special.
Agreed 👍
Agreed + 1 👍
Before Steve Perry, right? They were a mix of Jazz fusion and other styles. Totally different than the Perry yrs. Brilliant players. I can't even remember the names......"Next". Maybe "Look into the Future". Were those a couple? God, it's been so long. I think a guy name Robert Fleischman was the original singer. Maybe. If I remember right. Now I'll have to go GOOGLE it.
@@sdc7823 Fleischmann was not in the original journey. He was a guy they were looking at when they found perry. Think the live stuff he did with journey is still on YT. Just before infinity. He wasn't bad.
@@jeffroegner1499 As far as Fleischman it has him listed briefly as a singer before Perry. You said maybe on some live stuff. Whatever it was,.it was brief. Most of those first 3 albums were alot of instrumental stuff. Then Perry came and Infinity was released. 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. No matter what, Schon will always be know as a phenomenal guitar player
Looking forward for Steve and Neal reunion 👍🏼💪🤞
these dudes are wild....they're in their 70s!......they look awesome
No auto tune, no computers, just talented musicians. Modern people watch listen and learn.
Amen brother……two of the best doing what the best do! Icons…..the both of them.
Agree 100%!!
Right on my friend.
Now get off my lawn
zzzzzzzz to you and your thoughts about music. like what ya like. If you don't like how something was made... don't listen. The Beatles did so many tricks they couldn't play it live.. sampling ( mellotron) Fixing vocals... speeding things up with tape speed to sing higher,or lower.. cutting songs together... from different parts...So lying audio then too... in many many ways.. stop your crying about your old age ears.
I would LOVE to hear a Steve Perry & Neal Schon R&B album
That would just be awesome
Lot of great guitar players, but few have a sense of melody like Neal does. The man is special.
@rubicon-oh9km..yes, Schon’s solos are always melodic, pleasing to the ear, and fit nicely within the framework of the song. Seems like something simple but it’s and an art and shows the emotion, ability, and expression in Neil.
Neal got some of the most iconic riffs of all time. Saw Journey with Neal, Steve and Steve early 80s. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. No better live band on earth.
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.
It was great to hear Neal say nice things about Steve Perry. Time heals all wounds.
...not only that but nobody on earth can deny that Steve Perry is one of the greatest singers in history
Theres the old Journey then there the new. I like the original Journey w/ Steve Perry wish I still had all their vinyls instead of giving all my albums away. Nothing can ever fade the memories of going to the beach Seal Beach and people playing Journey/Lights and the entire bus listening and loving the travels to the beach 🏖️
Time will tell if Steve Perry will come back for reunion with group
Agreed ,,So glad that he was kind we need more of that. As far as Time heals all wounds I hate that saying. I've lost two children in my lifetime and I definitely know time does not heal all wounds. Sorry if that's a bit gloomy just telling my truth.
@@hollysjams46 I am truly sorry for your loss.
One of the best singer EVER with one of the best guitar player EVER!!! HSAS is a phenomenal album!!!!
My appreciation of Neal Schon grows more and more as I get older.
why🎉
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.
came for the interview and stayed for the surprising interpretation of a Depeche Mode classic. way cool.
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..
Neal Schon Smoking on that Guitar. A true Living Legend indeed. He was a huge influence when I was growing up.
What I wouldn’t do to hop in a Time Machine and watch a Journey Concert from 84 with my favorite Bic lighter! Neal is one with his guitar! great show Sammy you always Rocked it
I love this interview with old friends. Great, stuff, great jam.
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 😊😎
It literally brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes as i watched this...
I had the privilege to grow up in an era (70s&80s) with SO MANY AWESOME bands like Joutney , Sammy, VH, Poison, Clapton, Eagles, Seger, Steve Miller, Kiss and the list goes on and on and on...
Poison? That's the one that doesn't fit. CC DeVille couldn't hardly even play guitar. You were listening to studio session musicians on their albums.
Jam Onward, gentlemen! Gen X, 1965!
You guys are the rock series of my entire life!
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.
Underrated?? By who? He is revered!
@@iansnyder274 the geniuses at rolling stone. 😜🤪
I would say underappreciated.
Neal is up there in my list of guitar gods. He's a straight-up legend ! Raised on Radio is one my all time favorite albums .
Raised on Radio did not get the recognition it deserved. One of my favorites as well.
Raised On Radio is Journey's best album by far. And it's one of my two favorite albums of all time. The other is Boston's album Walk On.
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.
@@stanspb763 wow! Thanks for the information stan. You must have some great stories..ought to write a book..of all your experiences. Thank you..
Knew about Fleetwood mac story about rumors. It was like an in house orgy..lol who's sleeping with who??? Lol..I know! Mick fleetwoid..was a little disapointed.😞 of not getting tge rolling stones gigg..after watts..passed away. Hes a big stones fan..was great friend if watts n richards through the years..
@@stanspb763 Thanks so much for your response! Very interesting details. I'm not surprised re: Neal's creative drive. As far as Rumours , man, that must have been exciting. That whole album was built with tears, anger, etc. but that's what makes it so great!
I was lucky enough to see Hagar and shon here in Anchorage Alaska live in the mid 90’s!😉👍
Neil Schon is an unsung hero. Amazing guitarist. I think of my teenage years in the 80's and I hear him ( Journey) playing in the background of my memories...
Two legends swapping stories. Neal is absolutely one of the masters if not THE master of the hummable electric guitar solo....
I cannot Stop Believing In Journey
Thanks Sammy ..so glad you care about the past. Neil is 7 months older than me and he looks awesome for being a rock star 50 years plus.
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".
Trial by Fire was so underrated, both the entire CD and the single.
The single featured Steve Perry being full of Soul with his singing and presentation of the lyrics, but Neal stayed right with it in his melodic rhythm and solos.
Like everyone else here is thinking, Neal and Steve together was very special.
One of my favorite Journey album ever! None like any of their past albums. Yes, very underrated. The bonus unlisted reggae like song was super cool.
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.
Saw Journey in April. Neil is one of those few guitarists that make me want to throw all my guitars away.
Don't do that. It's the ride not the destination. Play, enjoy, have fun!
Friendly reminder that Sammy is in his mid 70s filming this
I completely forgot how great he is. I'm always caught up on Steve's voice and need to remember his greatness. Love him!!!!
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. QUITE INCREDIBLE!
George Benson used to do that. Play his guitar, then mimic the sounds made.
If that's the concert that they played for free outside in Dallas, it's here on UA-cam. You just have to look it up.
Damn!! Sammy Hagar and Neal Schon need to make a "Jammin' By The Bay" album with all their SF croonies... PLEASE!!!
The label of rock star will die with these guys and all rock musicians of there time thank you for giving me your music then and now
When I first started playing around 79 and 80 I was trying to emulate Neal. ALWAYS will have a place in my musical heart.
Journey is timeless music
Warms the soul to hear that he wants to work with Steve Perry soon! They co-wrote some timeless stuff together! Can't wait!!!
2 Rock N Roll legends, im honored and like a little kid again watching them. The 80’s were embedded with these 2.
I don’t think there’s a better song than the 1980’s live one “Mother Father Sister Brother” they did. It’s heart melting. One of the best performances I’ve ever seen hands down!
Incredibly Brilliant Guitarist Musician Neil !
Stone in Love is one of the smoothest guitar solos ever. His guitar doesn’t over power but flows naturally.
and the bassline as the solo goes on just takes the entire thing to the stratosphere. You know what I'm talkin' about!
@@vixapphire Exactly, Ross Valory a great bass player, He never seemed to get no love in that band but I thought he was great
One of my favorite tunes ever. Great choice dude! 👌
2 legends making it look easy!!!
Sammy probably the most regular Joe in rock and roll, saw him in 79 and over 40 years later he’s still going, then again so is Neal and me! Thanks
I literally have NEVER seen an interview with Schon where didn’t have a guitar in his hands. If I could play like him I’d probably sleep with mine also, which I bet he does. What an absolute guitar God he is, Sammys no slouch either and when they did that Schon Hagar thing in the 80’s it was pure gold.
Think of the guys Sammy has played with. From Ronnie Montrose to Neil to EVH to Satch. Unreal what that guy has seen and heard from the absolute bests to do it

Yeah, him and Graham Bonnet have some amazing history.
What is that? A Gretsch he’s holding? I’m not up on the semi hollow bodies. lol
I wouldn't have expected them to cover Depeche Mode, but I'm so glad that they did. That was great!
That was a great surprise..
@@davidpetty2315 That was absolutely fantastic.....
I thought Sammie said it was a song he wrote
@@ThomasSmith-kb9eq Personal Jesus was written by Martin Gore from Depeche Mode.
That was a great cover!
Neal is a monster on the guitar love his playing ❤❤🥰🥰
❤️🎤 Sammy Hagar and thanks for praising Arnel.
Schon is absolutely one of the most underrated guitarists of all time, in part because calling him ‘amazing’ doesn’t do him justice. Just listen to what he does when he wants to shred. He is up there with the Shrapnel records artists, but that melodic side makes his music so relatable that you just can’t stop humming the tune.
What? He's been highly rated since he hit the whole scene and hasn't stopped or faded from memories of top guitarists and all everywhere.. really. Underrated? Nope......
How can a Guitar God be "underrated" ???
@@JB-tr6nu By overusing the term 'Guitar God' until it is so diluted it doesn't do justice to the true greats.
Neal Schon has to be one of the most underrated players in history. The guy is a freaking beast and can play anything. Just listen to the first song on Journey's first album in 1975. The song is Of A Lifetime and it is next-level great, but very few people are familiar with it.
Underrated? Nobody under rates Neal Schon. There's always somebody on these music threads who says something like that.
That's an unbelievably good tune.
I am!!
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.
That was a great one time live album. Power trio with a lead singer. Was such a treat because Journey was on hiatus in 84 and that Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve allowed Schon to be free from the Journey formula.
Wow, what a studio! Neal Schon is the man !
Neal has some of the 80's greatest solos, Stoned in Love and Be good to yourself are classics.
Stone in love is one of the most catchy riffs ever !!!!
Yup! Neal's soaring leads are stuff of legend!!!
stoned in love is basically one long solo
how about be good to yourself? scorcher.
@@kensurrency2564 I love the solo in Be good to yourself, and the outro stuff as well
I loved the first Journey album when they were prog rock.
Cool. I saw them jam together in Eugene Oregon 40 years ago. It was Brian Adams, Hagar, and Journey. Sammy and Neil did a set together.
Every fist in the air with the first monster riff of 'Heavy Metal' at Autzen. Sunday Aug 21st. Ticket Price $16.00! Cheers😎👍
@@uncledenny2570 sounds like you were there too. 👍
@@uncledenny2570 good times.
@@billfoster213 Journey was great, but Sammy stole the show!
@@uncledenny2570 agreed. Autzen stadium was a great place for concerts in the summer. Sammy singing from on top of the Big Screen and his manager screaming at him...I was in the front for his show, getting deafened by the left amps when he climbed the scaffolds to get up there. He stole the show.
Oh my sweet Jesus, please come into everyone's life. 🙏🙏🙏
Neal Schon I hope you know how influential you have been with your music to me and all people!!! I know radio played the shit out of your music but everytime it plays I still listen because of your tone and style!!! Love you so much and thank you for interviews like this!!!
Totally glad to have grown up with the influence of these two “Great Musicians) in my life. The Biggest and the Best! It doesn’t get any better than that!🐢
This is one of the best shows you have ever done. Jamming on Personal Jesus… Priceless!
I saw Journey live in December and Neal is absolutely still shredding at the top of his game!
Much sloppier now. He is 70 something so he gets a pass.
@@Fearzero I don’t know, maybe he was just on that night, but his soloing was very tight
@@Fearzeroyour mother is 70 and no one is complaining about how sloppy she is 🤪
2 Legends and just great dudes!
This was spectacular…
I follow Neil on Instagram, He actually talks to his fans, an actual living legend
Two seasoned vets!! Two dudes with a lot of history together! 👌🏽🙏🏼👍🏻✌🏿Good stuff!!! Thnx!!!
Two Kings! And, Jesus, Sammy still being the best rock voice after all these times!
Top 5 ever easily!
Legend and still alive!
He is extraordinary!
I play, I know!!!
Great fun clip of 2 great guys doing what they do 🙏🙏🙏
That's a tough one to me because the music of Journey isn't gonna get much respect or sanction up next to Zeppelin or some of the other greats. I'm sorry but alot of Journeys music was kinda cheese ball. Ballads. Syrupy. Now I know he's phenomenal. Seriously. In Santana at 15. Dude is right up there. 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
So much history between these guys, love seeing them together, wish they’d do some more.
Two true icons in rock there they sound great
I remember just rocking out to VOA when it came out over and over. I still love that album. Journey Escape was another monster album that we played air guitar to.
It's great to hear that Schon still respects Steve- I would hope so. Let's see what Perry Says. Steve needed space- alot of it. To reclaim his life back & get peace as a human being. I missed Steve so much. The music industry can be hell & it takes a toll. I respect Steve for stepping away. And He found love. I hope that Neal & Steve have/will bury the PAST. Whether together or Solo- these are 2 of the purest musicians on the planet!
Neal is just saying he’d like to work and or collaborate with Steve again, but that’s only if Steve is interested and wants to. It’s still kinda a one sided thing. There is bad blood still between Neal and Steve. Im guessing from Steve parting ways with Journey in late 90s. I do think it’s time to make peace with each other and let past issues in past and see if they can move forward in some way at the very least a friendship if no music comes of it oh well. I’d like them to at least be friendly and communicate with one another again. He’s waiting on Steve. I feel Neal would have to meet him face to face for coffee or dinner. Not a shout out or saying it in a video.
@@jefffaust89 yep I know all this pretty much like you do.
Schon and Perry together was total magic. I still watch Mother, Father live on youtube and the guitar and vocals are from another planet. Nice to hear Neal say nice things about Perry whose voice from those days is unmatched.
Great stuff from the Red Rocker! Neal is so likeable and he left the door open for a reunion!
Two Kings! And, Jesus, Sammy still being the world's best rock voice after all these times!
These interviews are historical gems. Especially for lifetime fans of Sammy and the artists.
Neal sounds and looks pretty damn good! Sammy isn't too bad either. I enjoyed this. Thank you Sammy and Neal.
Playing can’t be faked, but the appearances- Botox, fillers, surgery, hair color. Don’t kid yourself.
They are both old as can be for real, but that ain't no thang. They still kick it in the butt with their skills!
So great. 2 legends laying it down. Neal as wishy-washy as always. Sam's always been the real deal. Bless em both
Wishy washy? How could anyone choose just one with all the questions he was asked?
His music is legendary.
The HSAS record is one of my top favorite recordings. I remember running to my house from neighbors to record the live broadcast. I was so inspired!!
They go way back and the HSAS was a great band, like all the songs 👍👍😀
Shoulda played a little Missing You or Top of the Rock...
Or their cover of Whiter Shade Of Pale
And to think, the best stuff from the show didn't even make the album.
@@jeffroegner1499 that’s right. I bought the video a while back. It’s cool to hear all the stuff not on the record.
These interviews are great. Sammy is obviously knowledgeable, he's an insider to the industry of course so he connects on that level, but he's also just so personable. He's there to hang and talk and we feel it.
Yeah! Wouldn’t you love to just hang out with this guy!
@@ianmclean5541 I really would. I've never seen Sammy live, but getting a better sense of who he is as a person makes me want to fix that as soon as I can!
Super Jam 78 St Louis Bush Auditorium I was there and it was off the charts
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.
Two classic rock, genious performers!
I really like Sammy’s show. Neal is such a badass guitarist. His love of guitar and playing shows through every song he plays. I would love to see Journey in concert. I will never be that lucky, but I can dream.
Had the privilege of seeing Journey play a live show in 1982, one of the best. I'm 64 years old now and have seen a lot of bands play over the years.🎼🎵🎙🎸🥁
Saw them 3 times with Steve Perry....indoors and outdoors. They WERE amazing. You always have UA-cam to pull them up!!
Steve Perry may be the best Singer EVER !
You never know it could happen
Both Sammy and Neil are on tour this summer. It could happen. Seeing a show that is. But I'd get on it. Both these guys are both over 70. I think Hagar is 74?
Saw Neal with Santana on July, 4, 1971, the last night of the week long celebration of the closing of the Fillmore West in San Francisco. Neal was about 17 years old at that time. Neal absolutely shredded it! To this day my favorite tune is "Ain't Got Nobody to Depend On", with Neal and Carlos trading licks.
I have admired both of these guys since the eighties. After this video I admire them even more.
Great little interview. Two of rock music's titans sitting and jamming! Schon is an incredible guitarist. So great to see two old dudes having a good time.
This was the best road trip thus far Sammy! Neil is the consummate professional and as humble as you can get! And the guy can friggin wail! Sammy, god bless your pipes!! You are a ripper of a singer! That collaboration on that tune was outstanding!! God bless you both,gentlemen!!!
Well said! True legendary gentleman musicians with grit and soul.
Sam and Neal have a great groove and sound great together- always have. Neal plays really "tasteful" leads, fills and shreds that completely compliment the music and always lands on his feet. Just a great era we live in to continue to see and hear this stuff.
Neal, brother, you are a 'rippin-ass' guitarist. We would be at the local pool blasting 'Escape'!!! You're the best bro. !!!🇺🇸 🎖 👍
Sweet blues jamming there. My favorite all time from Neal is Walks Like a Lady live.... that song is smokin'!! Have a great Independence Day weekend!
2 legends!!! I love Sammy's show.
Two great bay area guys who are amazing artists. Sammy still has a great voice and Neil is such a great guitar player.
These two were the catalyst for HSAS, the serious rock super group that could not continue beyond 1 record and a couple gigs in California. Unbelievable talent of 4 amazing musicians!!!
