Unearthed Video: “Lies” by Neal Schon & Jan Hammer

The space between Neal Schon’s chin and the top of his jeans? About 8 inches. That’s definitely not a lie.  Best view of this high-waisted handsomeness, around the 1:50 or 2:17 mark.

I do love this song, much more than anything from Schon’s other band at the time with that chick singer. Other things to love about this vid:

  • Schon’s ascot is absurdly large.
  • The love interest is a stone cold fox.
  • Schon opts for the arm sweep instead of the expected “break the mirror” move. (0:41)
  • Stealing Schon’s gal? Dick move, Hammer. Dick move.
  • Schon in no way appreciates the smell of Hammer’s schlong. (1:36)
  • Emphatic “No More!” (1:57)
  • Lightning bolts (with realistic drop shadows) and heart tattoo moves to the beat. (2:13)
  • Hammer stick his tongue out a lot when rocking the keytar as well as the drums. (2:23)
  • Frodo Baggins and John C. Reilly could and should star in this remake.
  • Bright white sneaks with jeans never goes out of style. (Am I right, my ASP.NET developer friends?)
  • The boys skillfully axe their way out of the elaborate cob-webbed enforced cell in which they were trapped.
  • Despite betrayal, Schon & Hammer stay friends and continue to rock the fuck out. Fros before Hos, my friend. Fros before Hos.
