(from Behind the Music: Journey) Oh Sherrie: Steve Perry felt slighted that Neal Schon went on ahead and did some solo proggy-rock records, so Perry did his own solo record, which of course sounded a lot like pop act Journey because Steve Perry was basically driving that band by then. Neal Schon was irked that it was so close to the Journey sound.
Waddy Wachtel, the guitarist, gets a lot of crap for his rather simple guitar solo, but I like it.
