I think Neal Schon used to play for Santana before he was with Journey.

Kinda funny, Journey would put out these treacly sacharrine sweet MOR 'rock' songs that were all tame and limp and then all of a sudden here comes this monster badass Neal Schon solo out of nowhere. I hate Journey but I would listen to the whole song just to hear Neal come stomping in and run over everybody.

Havalina, you just don't know when to quit do you? :1orglaugh

neil schon was 16 when he was in santana - and old story goes that schon wanted to kick santana out of his own band.

greg rolie who was santanas keyboard player at the time left with schon to form journey.


tom scholz recorded most of the first boston record in his apartment with a little thing he invented called a the Power Soak. This power soak allows the amp to achieve great sound at low volumes and sounded as big as a wall of amplifiers, it was later was named the Rockman which was a little bigger than the size of a peanut butter sandwich and became a big selling and used piece of equipment in the 80's and is still used today.

You mean all that stuff Im listening too while drinking beer is art...party on dudes!http://www.mtv.com/shared/movies/fea...ynes_world.jpg EXCELLLEEENT!!!!!

I couldn't agree with you more. All too often I see comments by people like the one by Havalina that discredit a song or an artist simply because they don't like their music. Just earlier I was discussing Warren Zevon with someone. I said I don't like any of his songs except for two. But at the same time I made it aware that I think he was a great songwriter and musician. I almost wish I could like his music a lot more than I do. And I will continue to try actually. I have his Greatest Hits. Some times music can grow on you.

I was the same way with Harry Chapin music. I knew he was a great songwriter and storyteller...but could never get into his music for the longest time. I never put it down, it just wasn't my taste.

Times change of course, and now that I'm in my forties I finally have an appreciation for his great talent - and have a long list of favorite tunes he did.
