Professor Of Rock has shared the new video below, along with the following message:
"Coming up next, one of the greatest living guitarists, Journey's Neal Schon, tells the story of two of the '80s most famous solos: One he played the hell out of, but it was cut from the song 'Who's Crying Now' when it was climbing the charts to the Top 5. But angry fans called radio stations and complained so they put it back in. And another song, 'Faithfully', was so inspiring that one of the greatest guitar players and geniuses of the '80s, Prince, actually called Journey because he had written one of his greatest songs, 'Purple Rain', but he was afraid he might’ve subconsciously ripped off the guitar part and asked them if they would listen to it and see. Journey graciously said it was similar, but a whole new song. We have Neal Schon with us to tell the story of these two amazing songs next on Professor of Rock."
