The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Neal Schon

  • Nobody’s perfect. Everyone slides here and there, and they have their ups and downs. When they are down, that is not the time to step all over them.
  • The heavy guitars are the ones that sound good. They are not that comfortable, but they do sound great.
  • I haven’t stopped playing. If you play all the time, then your chops are up, and you tend to grow.
  • I’m not a guy to go in the studio and spend months, let alone years, like some people do. I cannot even be in the studio for a month, it will drive me nuts.
  • The only thing I use the rolling stone for is toilet paper when I run out.
  • I’ve never done a solo tour. I feel like getting out there and doing that.
  • We are doing what Prince did. Everyone that comes to a show billed as An Evening with Journey will get our new CD. We figured that is our best store because they are our biggest fans.
  • What I have is a bunch of really hungry, amazingly talented guys that can kick anybody’s rear end.
  • The best part was watching Journey grow into this monster. The band was huge, playing these enormous gigs.
  • Beyond the Thunder is the closest I’ve recorded to an acoustic thing.
