I think he is Brad King's brother.
My first was born in 1983 so I had a lot of time back then to sit and watch the entire MTV
thing through their peak video years. Only a handful of them stick in the mind.
Laziest, stupidest, paint by numbers crap ever? Easy.
Talk about throwing every stinking ounce of rock cred you may have had right out the window.

Missing Steve K. right about now, he would have some epic thoughts on this I’m 100% sure 
The cartoon dippy lights up, then a Hologram of baby yoda appears. Plus it Julien's french fries all for $15K.

I didn't know that. How petty. Wow, RC is an even bigger douche than I previously thought. I'll have to readjust my settings and crank up my RC bashing a notch
Good lord did the major FM rock stations get paid a shitload of cash to play them non-stop? (probably - cash+coke)
But ya, Neal's solos were always the highlight. Dude could make the sappiest song rip.
Same goes for Richrath and REO Speedwagon, who were also getting played non-stop.

This isn't quite accurate.
WildWest has done a number of "Lightning" runs over the years. They started to order some non-white versions which started being delivered within the last few months. Neal has been on a buying spree since the lockdown started last year. The non-white ones weren't even on Alex's radar until someone pointed out that Neal started buying a bunch of guitars from WW.
There isn't any 'bidding/buying' war. Preference and an early heads-up on incoming guitars is ALWAYS going to go to an artist first. It's good visibility for WW. Neal ends up playing them on Instagram. Give it a year, many of the 350+ guitars that he has purchased will be for sale at Bananas with the 'Neal Schon Provenance COA' and the up charge to match.
The whole thing is a running joke on FB. I don't know Alex and don't care what he does. The image in OP was a joke about not being able to get one of the guitars before Neal snagged them. Well, he did end up getting one....
Neal beat me out on a couple of the black over sunburst models as well. It is what it is.

I remember watching an interview with reo where they knew they were writing wedding songs and Gary wasn’t really into it lol. All those bands really had great songs though, you can’t deny “don’t stop believing” or “keep on loving you” or “it’s time for me to fly” are incredibly catchy songs that anyone in any time period can relate to despite being pretty cheesy.

And to this day they are still laughing all the way to the bank
At least the dude got to play Ridin the Storm Out every night of the tour to keep his sanity.

Him and Gary Moore may be my two favorite LP tones.
Richrath's name doesn't come up enough when people talk the best LP rockers.
Was pissed when this came out at the end of the 90s and he was completely omitted.

Gary Moore is one of the few players that still give me goosebumps when I hear his leads. That feel and vibrato, amazing. RIP
