I want to hear both, but I give the (tremendous) edge to Schon with Smith. They have amazing chemistry.

AFAIK There should will be a CD Single / Promotional copy available at NAMM with 1 tune off the Steve Smith record of Neals - rest of THAT record should be out soon as a project. Most of the ducks are in the row - I'd guess mid to late Feb? but I've lost bets before.

Soon, it will hit soon, and the Deeno Marco album, I have a feeling with follow suit immediately.

Thanks Kingfish.

Dying to hear the Schon/Smitty -- and I think -- Jon Hammer instrumentals. Sounds crazy cool.

My guess is the Deen/Marco material will be akin to the Soul Sirkus project, but without JSS and Virgil Donati. It took me a long time to warm up to SS but there are some good tunes on that album. Friends to Lovers is one of my favorites now. I'm not a fan of Deen as a drummer, he's just too basic, but I am curious to hear him singing on original, non-Journey related material, and I know Marco has a great voice too, so I'm curious to see what they threw together.

Neal's website is under construction... finally. Hope that means some news is coming soon about both his projects.
Can't wait for the Smitty one especially

Sweet!!!!

I hope he stops letting his love interests manage is online presence in the future and just put someone good on the pay roll for that. I mean, his website is great, but it might have set a record for being the most out of date website ever!

Journey isn't doing anything right now, so what is Neal so busy about? Maybe he's remastering Eclipse. :lol:
