"I think Steve has an amazing, soulful voice, and I know he loves R&B," The guitarist them and also said, "Life is short. So sure�- I'd love to do an R&B record with Steve.

"I don't think he'd ever want to do a Journey record again. It's just too hard. (The notes are) way, way up there, and last time I heard him sing, his voice was a lot lower. But it was still very soulful. You can sing R&B and soul music and not need five octaves in your voice. (With Journey), he set the bar so high for himself and for anyone else."
