Neal Schon on Tour!

[Rockindeano]

Hello you PIECE OF SHIT. Go fuck yourself and die scumbag.

No seriously, go drive underneath a train and taste your own blood. I fucking hate you. Die already, cocksucker. Seriously, I hope the wheels carve you up like a roast beef sandwich and you look like canned tuna you fuck.

[RocknRoll]

I find it awfully peculiar, that good ole Neal Schon, a man of substance, will cancel a Denver bar date, when ticket sales are low, allegedly, but won't cancel a Journey tour, when his lead singer can't sing. I find it manly to go to a tape recorder, instead of doing rock n roll right, and either going live, or canceling. It's all about the Benjamins huh Neal? And you wonder why the RNR HOF doesn't want you? Jesus Christ, who would? You pissed in rock's face, made a mockery of the music. Wonder what rock greats think?..I wonder if other rock greats mock you, make fun of you or even give you the time of day? I wonder if Mick Jagger laughs at you and Journey? I wonder if Bruce is just shaking his head at you guys? I wonder if Queen is laughing hysterically at you and your band? Doesn't it sting, just a bit? I mean, dude, you are a tremendous talent, but that doesn't give you a license to crap on rock and roll. Augeri is one thing...he was never a serious player, but you are Neal Schon..a great axe man...Good grief! What's next? You'll stop at nothing.

Something to think about.

I'm confused. I thought Denver would be a guaranteed sell-out due to St Paddies Day, so I doubt ticket sales were an issue.. Also, wasn't Schon meeting with Brian May in London? Seems like their might be something brewing between the 2 of them, but who knows?

Again how old are you????? You think you are still in high school??? P.O.S.

Yes, he said on FB that they were cancelled b/c he needed more rehearsal for the Filmore now, which is a dvd shoot.
Poonie are you going?

And you figure running around here nipping at Dean's heals and constantly taking swipes at JSS, or calling somebody the initials P.O.S instead of the actual words.......makes you any more mature???

I mean, I'm all for a good dust-up here, that should come as no surprise to any one, but come on Robbie. Running around repeatedly posting the emoticon ain't exactly witty or funny. You need some material bad. Otherwise, it just isn't entertaining or interesting in the least.

[Marabelle]

sometimes there are so many people talking that nobody can be heard....but I do think i'd consider the Bmay idea as a possible reason why.

[Don]

I know it's only 25 dollars but if Neal cancels the show I'm going to there's going to be material aplenty.
I'm not talking about Lucky Charms leprechaun jokes on St Patrick's day Either.

I wonder if he'll bring his new Barbie Doll with him?

Aren't you going to the Filmore one?
That's a dvd shoot, so that show will go on.

[Don]

To me, it's a shame that Neal has never toured by himself before. Instead of trying to make all these side groups, the guy should have been out there promoting his own work. Look at all the stuff he has recorded as a solo artist. I mean come on! We're not talking about Cain, He's Neal Fucking Schon. If Neal would have done just one or two tours on his own, I guarantee he would have won a Grammy by now. It's not like he hasn't been nominated before.

No, I 'm going to the House Of Blues Shows, the last one on his tour. The same place he played after the WOF ceremony.

Like Bryan Adams is doing? Acoustic show? Singing? Or just plug it in and jam? There is one problem..Neal can't sing.

[Red13JoePa]

Neither can Adams, Gil.

That Marly Light gravel of his....

Be real. I think you might be being sarcastic, but who in the hell would go to see nothing but guitar solos? Has anyone heard the guitar only without the rest of the band?

No one is suggesting he do that. They are suggesting he go out on a solo tour with his solo stuff WITH a band. EG:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34D_9tOgCSg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht0pWjEHIaU

This would definitely be amazing to see.

Neal Schon doing the music of Neal Schon, NOT Hard Line, Soul Sirkus or that kind of stuff.
Neal had a Grammy nomination for Voices in 2001. Now, imagine if the guy had been promoting his own stuff on tour at that time, easy Grammy Win. Schon doesn't do that stuff though, he has always been part of Journey and been behind Steve Perry as far as who is Journey's identity to the casual music listener. Say Neal Schon and Journey and people think of Open Arms or DSB, not exactly fine examples of his great guitar work. If the guy had toured as himself a few times though, even if playing smaller venues, he gets name recognition, especially among voters in the awards programs which in fact would have helped Journey in the long run as far as winning over critics who think of the band as nothing more than a pop rock hit machine.

Neal is a better guitarist IMO than Pete Townshend or Richie Sambora BUT those guys have gone out and toured under their own names, developing an identity separate from The Who or Bon jovi, Selling a product that can be seen as their own and not part of band they are usually associated with. Neal has always been behind a band's name, never just as himself.


I've read and listened to a lot of Neal Schon interviews over the years and one thing I'm sure of is that this guy is just dying to win something.
Grammy, R&R HOF, just anything to hang his hat on. Create a little bit of separation between him and the Journey name and that might eventually happen.

Helluva post dude.
Unfortunatley, although that was a good post, the prior one by RedJoan was unreadable and unbearable.

He said this about Bryan Adams:

Neither can Adams, (sing)l.

So I have included my post of the day (Gunbot) and the worst post of the day (RedJoan).

I'm confused. I thought Denver would be a guaranteed sell-out due to St Paddies Day, so I doubt ticket sales were an issue.. Also, wasn't Schon meeting with Brian May in London? Seems like their might be something brewing between the 2 of them, but who knows?

Planet Rock, the U.K.’s classic rock station, is celebrating Jimi Hendrix by airing an hour-long special on this phenomenal guitarist. Planet Rock talked to a whole host of guitarists who told the station why Jimi Hendrix is “the guitarist’s guitarist.” The likes of BLACK SABBATH’s Tony Iommi, JOURNEY’s Neal Schon and QUEEN’s Brian May (to name but a few) each gave their point of view and experiences of Jimi Hendrix’s music and told Planet Rock why he is such an extraordinary player. The show will also feature some of his all time classic songs as well as new ones from his brand new album, “Valleys of Neptune”, released on Tuesday, March 9.

This special will air only twice: Saturday, March 6 at 6 p.m. and Thursday, March 11 at 11 p.m. (U.K. time).

raising hand--I would totally go just for that.

[(Crazy)Dulce Lady]

I'm hearing that only the California dates will remain.

Poor ticket sales? Too costly to travel?

Probably a bit of both. Neal isn't 35 anymore and when he sat down and thought about what this is going to entail, relative to the amount of faces he'll see, I bet he scaled it back.

Kinda ballsless, Luke toured all around the United States, including here. Had the humility to show up at a tiny ass little intimate bar. I sat close enough at a little table to step on his guitar pedals if I wanted to. It was great.

Neal's been on the road non-stop since he was 16, man. And considering he's coming off back to back 75 date tours (the latter one being a true worldwide tour), writing and recording a new album, and gearing up for a monstrous 2011, I'll give him a pass with just the California dates.

I won't. He should have considered that before scheduling stuff. Grow a pair if you're gonna go solo.

I won't either. FuFu is not amused.

I have plane tickets. It was St. Patrick's Day in a downtown Denver bar; he would have had a crowd even if people didn't know who the crap was playing.

Linda, just pretend you're a Steve Perry fan and this will be pretty easy to swallow. All kidding aside, though, I'm sorry that you got shafted. Neal's gonna hear about it from you I'm sure. And Mimi, too!

not Mimi--Debbie's NOT doing Denver.

sorry dokk. sucketh largely.

Well, apparently ticket sales are not an issue. The Modesto show is already sold-out.
