Legendary Journey Guitairst and Founder Neal Schond tells the story of working on the Journey 80s power ballad Open Arms from their 1981 classic record Escape. He hated the song and did not want to play it live but then it became a #1 hit, journey's biggest charts hit ever and so Steve Perry talked him into play it live on their sold escape tour and the crow came unglued. They loved it. So Neal knew he'd have to play it live for the rest of his live. The story of this 80s classic come from an interview with the band Journey who ruled stadiums and radio with their classic rock standards like Don't Stop Believin', Faithfully, Lights and Open Arms.
