I thought you were at the other place GB was speaking of......but then again there's no place like home huh! :lol:


I have no idea what he's talking about, is it like that Fantasy world where Perry will sing again?


No, why would you and Brywool be hanging out in a place like that? The place I'm talking about is actually closer to Idaho :lol:

I believe Neal has mentioned phrasing and Aretha Franklin in several interviews.

Here's an excert from a Ronnie James Dio interview regarding Neal Schon (I don't know why but some things just stick in your head, there's also a great article in an Egyptian paper about Deen avoiding Neal when he has bobblehead :shock: :shock: . I've got to find that one again)

http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=422

KNAC.COM: Who came-up with the idea for the benefit album Hear n Aid?
RJD: Really, it was Vivian Campbell and Jimmy Bain. We wanted to do something nice for [Ethiopia], and we weren’t invited to do the "We Are The World" gig, so they got on the phone and got the ball rolling. Then Wendy got involved and she started to take control and it evolved. Everyone kept thinking that there would be no way to get all these musicians in one room, if not because of touring then just egos. But we were amazed. People flew in from all over the world. The energy in the studio with all these musicians you’d never see in one place was just amazing. Rob Halford was the greatest. We called him first and Rob said, ‘When do you want me there?’ And I was like, “How about Thursday, it should only take about a day.” And Rob says “Look, I can be there for a week, a month, whatever you need.” But really, all the guys were great. Way over the top. Geoff Tate, Dave Meneketti, Yngwie. Another guy that really stands out was Neal Schon. What a phenomenal guitarist. For the song “Stars,” Neal came up to me and said that he had a problem with it. He said that he didn’t think we should be referring to ourselves as ‘stars’. I explained to him that it had nothing to do with us. And after discussion, and realizing that the song was not saying ‘look at us, we’re stars’, he was okay with it. But he was the only guy that had that contemplation. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t want to be called a star. Stars fall. Call me a planet instead.
