In this interview, Neal speaks about about the reason why he tried to play the trombone first, his competition with The Who drummer Keith Moon regarding the monster size drum kits during the seventies, and the possibility of a reunion of the original band with Alice Cooper - among many other things. About playing with Alice Cooper again, Neal states:

\"Let\'s put it this way, as long as I\'m alive, I will always be one of the people trying to negotiate something that maybe could make that happen. (...) I don\'t see a full-scale world tour, but do I see the possibility of like Cream playing the Royal Albert Hall in London for a consecutive number of nights at the same venue. I don\'t see why that couldn\'t happen.\"
