3 questions you would ask Neal Schon, given the chance?

by **footprints** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 10:45 am

Given the chance to interview the elusive Neal Schon what would be your top 3 questions?

Here are mine:

1. Having work with different vocalists from Robert F., Gregg R, Steve Perry, Steve Augeri,
JSS and Arnel Pineda - what did they bring to the table and how did it change/influence
Journey's music?

2. With Arnel Pineda being your "discovery", how did the other Journey members/management
take the news that you are getting an unknown Filipino singer to front your band, when
you could have anybody? And who was the hardest to convince in hiring Arnel?

3. How do you react when people say negative things about your handling of your lead singers?

I am sure that there are more things to ask but these are what's on top of my mind.
What's your top 3?

I've heard of this Neil guy. He tends to show up on various forums every so often.
Never met him or seen him play though. :wink:

Why is Carlos Santana suck a dick and obviously jealous of your superior talents?

Do you realize "Mother, Father" is one of the most brilliant songs in the history of the world?

And what is the take home net after paying five alimonies?

Hey Neal ...

1. Will you get married again?

2. Will you wear a tails tux for the next concert?

3. Would you play guitar on Perry's next album if he invited you?

He's getting him confused with this guy:

And one of my 3 questions would be to ask him about the almost fistfight between Neal and Neil... I've only heard that it almost happened, but no details...

The other 2 questions would be about his guitar playing, of course!

You know I despise your politics, but this totally redeems you! That could be the funniest thing I have ever read on MR!

1) What's it gonna take to get you and Perry back in "the ring" together.

2) How did you keep a straight face in the studio when Steve P sang "They got me by the hour- by my Blue collar..." (Cause we all know what a beacon for the working man Perry was!)

3) What the hell were you smoking when you recorded ROR?????

1. Can I have a Schon LP?

2. Why are you using so much processing on your guitar these days?

3. How do you approach writing a typical Neal solo?

by **Moose** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 11:46 am

I would ask him if Friga really is gay! :shock:

by **Allied Forces** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 11:51 am

1. Does he know Rik Emmett?
2. What does he think of Canada?
3. Would he ever consider doing a duel guitar instrumental album with Rik?

by **Voyager** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:03 pm

Questions for Neal:

1. Why didn't your project(s) with Sammy Hagar ever get off the ground?

2. Did the 10 lb. fro you wore back in the 70's and 80's ever make you top heavy?

3. Did you re-record the classics with Arnel as a way to get back at Steve Perry for abandoning the band?

by **Playitloudforme** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:08 pm

Q for Neal:

1) How many broken guitar strings do you go through on average per show?
2) Was that you on the motorcycle on the Bay Bridge years ago popping a wheelie for a white Nissan Sentra?????? (seriously... I think it was him, I had my Journey sticker on the car and he just would NOT go away... I was scared I was going to hit him. Popped wheelies right next to my car. I think Brian got it on camera).
3) Still sober?

by **Enigma869** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:35 pm

Hey Neal...

1. Ever consider a hobby, other than marriage :shock:

2. Why do you talk shit about Perry every time you open your pie-hole?

3. Are you tall enough to get on the rides at Disney World :shock:

1. Why is Steve Perry so girly and emo?
2. Why did you treat JSS like crap? Granted you got a better singer, but that was no way to treat your bandmember.
3. Why can't you write an album full of awesome songs like Higher Place, To Be Alive Again and Never Walk Away?

by **Saint John** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 1:41 pm

How many more years do you think you'll tour and record?

Circa TBF, how did Steve Perry's voice sound?

Can you please invite Gregg to join you guys on the next tour to sing some of the pre-Friga songs?

by **squirt1** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 1:46 pm

John/Boston- That was funny ! I would ask Neal- What would he guess the gate revenue would be at a 1 stadium concert with Perry? How many sales would Neal guess the old catalog would sell because of that 1 concert .Finally they would put the concert on DVD and what # of sales $$$$$ would that generate. Get on your knees Neal !
