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
It was classy of Neal to compliment Steve.
I was shocked to hear him say that he expected to do something with Steve- interesting
@@angus4463 Me too. I guess time heals all wounds.
I agree, and you know what? There are always stupid statements in the press about what Neal thanks and what he said, and blah blah blah. But he's always loved Steve like a brother even if they don't like each other sometimes.
Sammy Hagar & Neal Schon doing a duet on personal Jesus is exactly what i needed to hear this morning.....DAMN this was amazing
One of the best singer EVER with one of the best guitar player EVER!!! HSAS is a phenomenal album!!!!
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😂😂😂
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 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!
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.
Totally agree. The man is special. He talks about keeping that high note of Steve's going. The solo in "Do You Recall" is a perfect example of this, It's seamless how just comes in! Amazingly melodic, a master of the perfect solo for the song.
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 TH-cam. You just have to look it up.
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.
Neal schon 🔥👍🏼 the reason why im super addicted to journey .
same me. wuth Arnel also
Get yourself some HSAS action going. Good stuff. (Hagar, Schon, Aaronson, Shrieve)
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.
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.
My appreciation of Neal Schon grows more and more as I get older.
why🎉
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.
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.
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!
Two people play music that goes together very well. To this day, I still watch a throwback clip from 1983 called HSAS.
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 😊😎
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 TH-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?
So much history between these guys, love seeing them together, wish they’d do some more.
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...
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
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 completely forgot how great he is. I'm always caught up on Steve's voice and need to remember his greatness. Love him!!!!
This is one of the best shows you have ever done. Jamming on Personal Jesus… Priceless!
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
I love this interview with old friends. Great, stuff, great jam.
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!!!
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 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
Warms the soul to hear that he wants to work with Steve Perry soon! They co-wrote some timeless stuff together! Can't wait!!!
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!!
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!
Absolutely like a Mozart, Beethoven caliber of music!
When I first started playing around 79 and 80 I was trying to emulate Neal. ALWAYS will have a place in my musical heart.
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
Those concerts were 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.
I would LOVE to hear a Steve Perry & Neal Schon R&B album
That would just be awesome
LOVE these videos! It was so cool to hear Neil shred up close and, Sammy, your pipes are still INCREDIBLE! Thank you, Sammy!!!
Totally agree.
Shit, I was smiling all the way through it!
He could smoke anyone 16 to his age
these dudes are wild....they're in their 70s!......they look awesome
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 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".
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.
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!
Holy shit! So cool! Sams always on and neal shreads the shit out that hollowbody! He fits so many notes into a small space, and with so much feel and vibe! Not many players can do that! He's definitely one of the best lead and rhythm players of all time . And sams standing Hampton record was one of the best records of all time! Two world class artists doin what they love! Love the show Sam! Thnx. God bless!
A master of melodic shred. Steve Lukather is another guy that's great at that.
Great comparison Andrew! Steve Lukather is probably the only other exception in that category! He is also amazing ! as a giitar player myself, knowing how hard that is to do. Even hendrix didnt have that much speed ,mixed with feel! Totally insane amounts of talent there! Toto and Lukather are so underrated. Neal and Luke's style are verry similar😎
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
I was lucky enough to see Hagar and shon here in Anchorage Alaska live in the mid 90’s!😉👍
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.
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.
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.
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.
Journey is timeless music
I have admired both of these guys since the eighties. After this video I admire them even more.
Not many people have ever heard of the band HSAS. I wish I still had the album! I bought it back in the early 80's. Look it up! Cool stuff for sure. A great collaboration of the best together!
I've still got it on vinyl. You can get a live DVD online.
All of it is on YT too.
I bought the cassette when it first came out, and still have it. If you stream music, Amazon music and Spotify have it.
This was spectacular…
I cannot Stop Believing In Journey
This was fun....thank you Sammy and Neil...!!!
Looking forward for Steve and Neal reunion 👍🏼💪🤞
Great stuff from the Red Rocker! Neal is so likeable and he left the door open for a reunion!
2 Legends and just great dudes!
Thanks to both of these guys for all of the great music throughout the years. ROCK ON!!!
If he's going to do some R&B with Perry, he should reach out to Rolle. Steve and Greg's harmonies were always amazing.
Loved the HSAS collab you guys did in the 80's. Would love to hear some more so how about it Sammy and Neal?
came for the interview and stayed for the surprising interpretation of a Depeche Mode classic. way cool.
Pure gold watching these two reminisce. And for every parent who thinks their kid is a "prodigy" of sorts, don't you just love Neal casually rattling off his pedigree? "I started playing guitar at 10, by the time I was 12 I had basically memorized all of the blues greats and the British Invasion shredders, then I got really mad at my dad because he wouldn't let me TURN PRO at 13!!!" He is certainly some kind of talent! And Sammy's interviewing skills are just spot on. 74-year-old Sammy and 68-year-old Neal with tons of knowledge to share. Thanks for posting this!
I can’t believe Sammy is 74 and Neil is 68. Time really does fly by brother!
I follow Neil on Instagram, He actually talks to his fans, an actual living legend
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.
Friendly reminder that Sammy is in his mid 70s filming this
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!!!
Incredibly Brilliant Guitarist Musician Neil !
Mr. Hagar, I've listened to music since the 50's. Even played in a band (nothing like you've done). I never learned the artist or band member names, just enjoyed their music. I must say Sammy,,,,,, you're in your prime doing these types of videos. What a history lesson! I'm still trying to learn who is who (hey I'm 72 now). Thanks to Y.T. and your videos I can travel down memory lane and not pay $6 for a gallon of gas! Oh and I played every insturment in our band, drums, bass, organ, rythmn, and lead guitar, and I can't read music. Just started playing!
This was INSANE GOOD. Thank you Sammy and Neal. I think I'll pick up my guitar now!!!
This was a good one, Sammy, and you are getting better and better at listening rather than talking over -- keep improving. Nice take on the old Depeche Mode song too.
both still enjoy their craft, and show it, such great guys to listen too, and Neal is very humble,,,,
I've never really seen Neal interviewed. Cool guy for sure. So humble.
two of the very nicest guys in the business...EVER !
Sammy really brought out the Blues in Neil Schon. I can hear his teenage influences of BB and Albert King, as mentioned in the interview. A side of him i haven't really heard before...
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.
2 of my faves growing up. They both haven’t slowed down much as they’ve gotten older. Go easy bros! 🤘😎
Two Kings! And, Jesus, Sammy still being the best rock voice after all these times!
Two great bay area guys who are amazing artists. Sammy still has a great voice and Neil is such a great guitar player.
Wow, what a studio! Neal Schon is the man !
Can’t answer Steve or Arnell? Really? We’ll let me… Steve is Journey and we will never forget what you did to him Neil.
that is so awesome to see these two together they rock so hard ! Both are such great writers !
So cool that session with that song, wow. When hearing and seeing Neal Schon playing his unique way a wow-smile comes into ones face. His playing is as unbelievable virtous as free connected with the songs. Like the voice of passionated great soul or blues singers that knows to play their voices. Made to get astonished and good vibes when listening.
Sammy's interviews never get old. Thank you Neil !!!!!!
THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME! THANK YOU SAMMY AND NEAL FOR SOUND TRACK TO OUR LIVES..GOD BLESS
I LOVE ROCK N ROLL!!! Two legends doing what they do best. Good stuff!👍🎼🎸🇺🇸❤️
Neal’s solo work is sublime - a ‘total package’.
Great interview!!! Thanks to Sammy and Neal!!!
Always enjoy hearing Neil play guitar! Glad to hear there is a possibility he will collaborate with Steve again?! Stay 🎸
That's awesome that Neal says "both" when comparing musicians. They are all exceptionally talented, as is Neal.
Saw the latest rendition of Journey last year and Neal was spot on. Great person and artist.
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.
Man I love Schon. I really do. Rock on, sir!
HSAS baby!! That was KILLER back in the day!! I loved that album!! 🎸🙏❤ Neal and Sammy are so cool!!
Check out the tunes that didn't make the album if you haven't already.
Two rock legends together love them both. This show Sammy does is so cool cant get enough looking forward for the next one. Anyone remember Schon and Hammer or Hommer?
Jan Hammer.
@@rubicon-oh9km lies no more lies
I bought a double-album pack that arrived in the mail today. It's Untold Passion ( great cheezy name ) and Here to Stay. Might try it tomorrow.
Two of my absolute favorites!!
Rock present day and past day history.
John from Utah!!!
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.
Awesome interview! up till 1986 I had all of Journey's albums! Even an obscure jazz LP from some movie soundtrack? A reunion with Steve would be beyond Epic!
HSAS is an underrated masterpiece 😊
