Performing Musician - Scott Appleton Interview Quote
"It was just after a stint tech-ing for Journey guitarist Neal Schon, who Scott worked with for seven years in total, that he received the most welcome of calls from Phil Collen. "When I was working with Journey, we did the Def Leppard/Journey tour in 2006," recalls Scott. "Then Journey decided to take 2007 off, and Phil's tech decided that he was going to work with somebody else, so Phil called me up and asked me if I wanted to come work with him that summer. I had such a great time, so it was kind of a no-brainer to stick around!."
