I clicked on the link to the UCR article about the sapranos which wasn't really too interesting to me. Further down, they had a "best song from each album" list for Journey, most of which I did not agree with. In that list, though, was another link to an old article that was a little bit more interesting. They are are listed below.
What I found most interesting is Neal talking about using a Roland 707 guitar on I'll be alright without you. I never had heard this before, so I looked it up.
It is crazy. I remember seeing Elliot Easton of the Cars playing one at the original Live Aid, but I never knew what it was. A guitar synthesizer. Picture below.

I remember when Schon was noodling around with these...
I also remember when his guitar tone was defined and discernable... unlike the overly delayed and reverberated mush it is now...

I also remember when his guitar tone was defined and discernable... unlike the overly delayed and reverberated mush it is now... 100% agree with you on much of his tone, etc. now. Really over the past couple of decades he seems to be more and more using effects that muddle his sound. An occasional song might fit with that style. Excess distortion and effects are so often used by players who have limited skill and ability. I can even make myself sound decent with enough crap layered in. Neal had always been such a great player, technically and melodically, it is frustrating to see him using amateurish moves so often. But then again, he's the guitar wizard and I am not.
