this is not even unusual.
Neal Schon is a helluva guitar player, one of my favorites, but I'm kinda believing Cain here.
When you are a rock “stars” who are 68 and 72 years old and haven’t charted a hit in decades, yea you aren’t going to be behaving. (Or shouldn’t be) like a bunch of 20 somethings who think the cash and game won’t stop flowing.
No doubt Journey had some classic hits and still make more money than most people will ever see from the royalties from them, and can still draw a crowd when they tour, but do you behave the same way you did in your 20s?
Neal Schon may be a great guitar slinger, but he has not Faithfully used this debt instrument. Perhaps it is time for them to go their Separate Ways. I am certain that he can find three or four other old rockers who would welcome him with Open Arms to form another “Super Group”.
Been a huge Journey fan for 40+ years. That “Captured” album changed my life. When Perry left the group, I developed a deep appreciation for Neal’s abilities. It is always a good day when I hear Neal play. I even knew it was Neal playing the first time I heard Bad English on the radio without ever hearing of or about that band. That having been said, I follow Neal on social media. It appears that he has a warehouse full of Lamborghinis, so... draw your own conclusions I guess.
