I find Journey's music very uplifting. Not as much as Neal's face, but still...

 

[LP Freak]

Wow, great interview

 

[Fusionbear]

Those chemical peels! Oy vey!

Notwithstanding, he was one of my early influences... Some of my friends thought I sounded a lot like him when I was a teen... I'll take that compliment...

 

[mentoneman]

Neil is a legend.

 

[Wetordry]

Good interview!

 

[splitendz]

Without watching the entire video, does he talk about Hardline?

 

[DrewJD82]

He comes off as much more chill and friendly than I’d assumed he’d be.

No, nor Bad English

 

[Les Zombie]

I like Neal, he follows me on IG, great player.

 

[GearGasms]

It's in my Watch Later queue

I always get more out of a Beato interview than others. Not sure why, but I too had always thought Neal was one of those "difficult" prima donna guys. But he came off as very chill and enthusiastic, and just enjoyed talking about music. The talent has always been undeniable - from his early teens to however old he is now. Rick just finds a way to connect with these guys and get them to lower their egos, to our benefit.

I love Rick Beato's interviews and his educational instruction is fantastic.

 

[LP Freak]

Wow, 71 years old

these rock legends seem more excited to be on his show than he is interviewing them, its really great. i see people bashing Rick all the time and its really one of the great mysteries i have in life how you could not like his channel from the interviews, tutorials, song breakdowns.. hes great

Interesting though that he spent time on the Jan Hammer gig which I knew almost nothing about. I went and checked that Schon/Hammer album after and it’s great.
I love how stoked out Rick was getting, when Neal would jump in and play along and how you can tell the passion is still alive and well in Schon to play. He’s played those leads and rhythms 100’s of times a year, on and off, for almost 45 years and still gets off on it.

I watched this last night and really enjoyed it. His recall of gear used from all periods of his career was amazing. Most players with his level of success usually give vague answers. Neal is one of my biggest influences and it's great to see him still playing at that level still. Loved the part about him picking up Albert King's V and getting yelled at

 

[CarlF]

Great interview! Especially coming right after that bomb interview of Robin . Two people sitting in the room with nothing to say to each other.
Neal has always been awesome, since I first heard him, back in 1971 or 72 playing with Santana.
Nice to find out a lot of the Journey recordings and tours were done with Hiwatts.

I get the impression that Neal is a nerd like us who had the skills and opportunity to use them. Always a joy to hear him play.

If he has any more facelifts, that won't be a goatee that shows up on his chin
