It's hard to believe that his singing voice can get so high and his speaking voice sounds so low.

One thing I've noticed in ALL the interviews you hear him in past and present, he is always kind and polite and extremely humble. The man is THE total package with a magical and mesmerizing voice. I sure miss him......

@MidNiteE5C4P386 Listening to Neal Schon speak, he sounds just like Vinnie Barbarino from Welcome Back Kotter only a total jerk instead of funny....... He's an ass. He's a GREAT guitarist, but he's an ass..... He will get his someday.....

I really think that there is so much more to the story behind the rift of Perry and Schon...and it's a shame...that voice and that guitar were meant to be together...but I think that both Steve and Neal have equal blame in some of these issues...Neal had drinking and drug problems for awhile back then as well as control issues...And Steve definitely had a perfecitionist nature and control issues as well...too powerful personalities unwilling to yield, creating a chaotic environment

The first thing I noticed is that Steve sounds like he has a cold. His speaking voice is a lot lower than I have heard and he sounds congested. And at 5:37 you can hear him sniffle. Poor baby, I'll bet it's hard to keep performing when you're sick. I love this interview, he's so honest!!!
