Honestly, who knows what Neal wants. Or what any other person wants or thinks. I'm sure that he'd love for Revelation to sell ($$$$$)fightingilliniJRNY wrote:FormerJrnyFan wrote:To avoid another thread being closed............. no commentfightingilliniJRNY wrote:FormerJrnyFan wrote:Good point - some do it strictly because they love it though.

After seeing his quotes in the GQ extra from the MR frontpage today - it's clear that that man is Neal Schon.
What? You don't think Neal still writes and records because he loves it? I know the running (tired) joke is that he has to finance his alimony payments...but c'mon. The man hasn't stopped since he was 15. I know he wants a hit with Revelation, but I'm sure he's not fooling himself. If Revelations isn't a hit (but sells better than Arrival and Generations), I think we'll still see another Journey album. If Revelation isn't a hit, Neal's not going to retire Journey.
Shouldn't every performer believe in their work?
