It looks like the original line-up of Santana is rearing and ready to go for some world domination according to Journey and Santana guitarist Neil Schon. Recently original members Carlos Santana, Neil Schon, Greg Rolie, Michael Carabello, and Michael Shrieve reunited after four decades to do new material and possibly a tour.
Schon has said the following things via Facebook:
“We are wrapping up Santana IV this week. Sounds amazing!
“This record is going to take over the world. I hope management gets it together for us to tour – I will tour with Carlos either way.
“It’s way too happening not to. World domination once again.”
Schon seems to want to take the reunion as far as it can possibly go; especially since he has stated recently that there is little chance of a new Journey album due to keyboardist Jonathan Cain not wanting to have any part of something like that. Carlos himself said Schon had “chased him like a guided missile” to make the reunion take place. Shrieve said back in February "The results are beautiful. It’s like putting on a pair of old jeans."
To be honest, this does have a little bit of a cash grab vibe to it, but at the same time if their hearts are really in it and they are enjoying it then I have no problem with it. It will be pretty fantastic to hear what these guys can cook up together after all this time they spent apart from one another.
