It's rumored that Neil Schon's afro actually played most of the leads on the third album.

@TheDolomite999 Still as great a player as Schon is I think Santana is on a higher level of genius. Still how amazing to be 16 and asked to play with Santana and Clapton. Shows what amazing talent Schon has but something more too as he has the ability to blend in and be in perfect harmony with the other musicians. Just a dream come true and some times you get the impression Schon was never really quite happy some how.

@TheDolomite999 Dont belive everything that is said or writen.It was Schon's own decision to go for Santana he had the choice between Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton so he said the time was right to join and go for SANTANA i dont think Carlos has practically begged Schon to join in my IMHO that sounds more of a rumour as it is Neal Schon was introduced to Carlos Santana by Eric Clapton.

@alexlancer11 - why would it take courage? Santana practically begged Schon to play with him.

Neil Schon is a brilliant guitarist in his own right , but think of the courage it took to stand next to a genius like Carlos Santana.

If all white people had afros like young Neil Schon there would be no need to Occupy Wallstreet.
