Neal Schon, founder and guitarist of Journey, joins Eddie Trunk to express his disappointment about rock bands being overlooked for the Super Bowl halftime show in San Francisco. He suggests a Bay Area showcase featuring Journey, Metallica, and Santana would've been perfect for the occasion. Schon also reveals Journey's plans for an extensive tour in 2026-2027 with longer sets featuring deep cuts from their catalog beyond the 'Dirty Dozen' hits. He shares insights about improved relationships within the band after their year-long break and discusses his daily guitar practice routine that keeps his playing sharp. The conversation touches on potential future collaborations, his solo projects, and the fascinating origin story behind 'Don't Stop Believin'.' After that, former Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth joins Eddie Trunk to discuss his upcoming 'Pictures of Destiny' US tour, which combines symphonic rock compositions with visual art and celebrates the 50th anniversaries of the influential Scorpions albums 'In Trance' and 'Virgin Killer.' He shares stories about his recent successful shows in Japan, his artistic approach combining music with oil paintings, and an upcoming festival in Germany where German metal bands will join him to celebrate the legacy of early Scorpions material.
