Less hits but better music. Of course I'm partial to the more gritty and raw rock feel of the post Santana spin off. The synthesizer (IMHO) ruined a lot of the bands I was into at the time. (Rush, Van Halen, etc)
I actually lived near both Gregg and Cain in the 80s. James Hetfield used to live up there during Metallica's hey day. Ran into Gregg a few times and he was always such a cool down to earth guy. In fact, the first time I met him, he saved my life. There was a mud slide in my neighborhood that took out a house and pushed it off the foundation and into a creek behind the property. A bunch of neighbors were helping salvage what they could and somehow they let a dumb kid like me in there to play around. My shoes were muddy and I started slipping down some busted up angled tile flooring heading for some jagged wood and exposed nails and out of no where someone picks me up and puts me down on stable footing. I was speechless and kinda in shock and he gave me this look like why the F are you here?! I never did properly thank him. I don't think he remebered me the second time we met and I wasn't going to remind him. lol
