He did okay with soft rock band Journey, but I saw him open for The Cars in '88 or '89. Figured I'd just relax but he blew everyone away. Six-and-twelve string, reminded me of Clapton though not quite as good! His fingers flew over frets, he ran his fingers up and down fast and good. People were saying he wasted his talent with Journey. He wasn't extremely talented but could seriously play guitar.
I remember that time because a friend dragged me to see Yngwie Malmstein (spelling may be off). I thought it would pass the time until a decent band came on. I was blown away by this unknown guy. He opened for Ted Nugent later that year and was just as strong.
I know, mist won't know these artists/musicians. The olden days of rock!
