It’s because of musicians like these guys I haven’t quit social media entirely. Those that can, do. Those that can’t, criticize. Lukather needs to perform - let’s hope that live music returns.

Arguably the most informative, hilarious and quite frankly, HONEST interview I have seen in a LONG LONG time! Live from Nerdville Season 2 kicks off with a bang!
Luke’s playing on Middle Man is awesome . Kingdom Of Desire is a criminally underrated album ...I could type for ages . Saw him once in Birmingham-travelled from Glasgow -brilliant night with a brilliant band .
Totally (Toto-lly?) agree on 'Kingdom Of Desire'. I suppose its only failing, for some people, is that is sounds more like a Lukather solo record than a Toto record. He sounds stunning throughout and the band really kicks arse. It's tragic that only Luke and David Paich survive from that line up.
@@oldguitarjames9303 it’s the only Toto album I own , probably as you say it’s a very Luke album . Ever Changing Times is probably my favourite solo album and that was just out when I saw him in Birmingham.
Yes middle man was a great album! I wasn't aware of toto at the time I heard the album but Luke and jeff paich and Steve porcaro names would show up on many albums to follow!
Luke has always been a trend setter for me and always grabbed my heart. Effects, no effects you knew that incredible sound, music and energy. A real mover and shaker and I'm forever grateful.
part of the reason Joe gets good stuff from his interviews is they all know from hearing him perform that he is ALL about the music and because of that they are comfortable in that place and able to mind melt together for a great conversation..Luke is on my Mt Rushmore beside Danny Chet and Eric Thanks Joe and man I have 88 elmira on a tape loop in my brain...hehe..
I have learned so much about the music industry since I started watching Nerdville. It’s the most interesting podcast ever. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us.
I would love to be at a table and just listen to this guy talk. Man! The stories! Screw the critics...also known as those who can't play. Thank you Joe for this interview with Steve. Can't get enough.
I have been lucky enough to meet both of you..( and to me ).. You two are each a Class Act... It's a shame that some people choose to Pick on Steve.. He's a Great Funny guy.. and as you know a MONSTER Guitar Player.. Yeah.. There are people out there now a day's with more chops BUT... He is just So Damn Creative... and just brought Soooo much to Many many albums.. I forget who said it. But.. Steve.. Always was the guy .. To bring the right lick for the song .. So glad you had him on.. Thanks Joe B.
Steve is one of my favorite guitar players of all-time, he's a living legend. And he seems to be a very nice guy too. I would love to have the opportunity to have a beer with him talking about music. All the best, Steve. Take care, stay healthy!
Another incredible interview by JB. Years ago I had a great privilege to work with some amazing players and the one thing that always struck me about the 'best of the best' was their humor, humility and intelligence. There are always notable exceptions, lol. Great to hear Lukather's take on his experiences over the years and taking about coming up during a. time and place where so many of us attended the 'school of hard knocks.' It's the rare player who can make it and thrive over decades in the business (and yes, it's a business). JB is a very gifted interviewer and I find myself looking forward to every interview. They spoke of some of the young gifted players out there. JB (if you're out there somewhere reading this on the interwebs), Tosin Abasi would be an amazing interview. Very, very intelligent guy and a player who is pushing the boundaries of the instrument. A JB / Tosin Abasi interview would be one for the ages.
I'M SO GLAD I WATCHED THIS, LOVE STEVE EVEN MORE, AND OF COURSE JOE B. IS ALWAYS ON THE TOP OF MY LIST. THANKS JOE FOR DOING THESE "HANG'S", KEEP 'EM COMIN'.....
great to hear from such a talented and honest person as Luke telling it like it is, and Joe providing such great service for us fans of music by exposing some of the best musicians in such a relaxed and entertaining way, please keep it going!
I just don’t understand why/how ANYONE can have an issue with Steve Lukather. He seems like a super nice guy - totally grounded and self-effacing. He’s the real f’ng deal in the studio... he’s been on everything worth listening to. And if they still had head cutting contests HE IS A BEAST - he would level pretty much any other player - he’s just surreally talented.
Joe this show is awesome your interviews are the best I've been playing guitar over 40 years this shit is so down to earth you make us feel part of this family thanks brother rock on ..
One of the greatest Rock/Fusion guitarist. Steve Lukather was for me, the first modern rock guitarist to blend Be Bop, Jeff Beck and Hendrix in his awesome lead guitar style. Absolutely amazing.
I had heard Steve in short interviews in the past, and I thought that he was kind of weird and sort of crass. This interview really opened him up for me, and now I get him (as much as any stranger watching an interview can). This really got me to like him. Great job on this, Joe. This made me smile a lot.
Love you both Joe and Luke. And thanks so much for turning me on to Tom Hemby - I've just started listening to him and he's an amazing player as well. Years ago when I was teaching high schoolers, Joe had just come on the scene and I used to argue/debate with one of my students as to who was the best guitar player on the current scene. He insisted it was EVH, but I would tell him and still say it was Joe.
I wonder if there's ever enough time for Luke to get all of his thoughts out. Every interview I've ever seen is this way, and he doesn't do it to step on anyone, he doesn't do it to dominate, he doesn't do it on purpose, he's not repeating himself, he's just trying to communicate everything that's going on in his head. But it still makes me think, how many hours could I have a conversation with him before he said, "And uh... well... I guess that's all there is to say."
A great show! So glad you guys put this kinda stuff out, hilarious moments and after listening to the music for decades it's cool to hear casual conversation from talented players.
Finally got to 'know' one of the artists that made a song I had a chance to sing in a choir arrangement. And my absolute earworm song. Oh, Africa.... I love Steve's philosophy of life. Very interesting artist. Thank you Joe & Team for this interview!
2 of my Favorite Musicians Saw Joe finally last year before the shut down in Melbourne Florida, hoping the shut down will end and Steve Tours so I can see him live. I have been abusing my guitars since the 80s. love this interview. thanks guys.
What an awesome interview, thanks Joe. Steve, I've never seen you in you an interview before, love how you came across, genuine, no pretense. Huge respect fella. :)
Thanks for a GREAT interview Joe & Steve! LOVE my Music Man Luke III HSS (bodhi blue) and BFR Luke III HH (blueberry burst flame) guitars! They sound amazing through a Mesa Boogie Mark V 90watt head and 2x12 Mesa Lone Star cabinet,...AND a Way Huge Doubleland Special!
Joe is a monster and master and being from CNY I just have to love him even more.Great interview with one of the truly greatest humans ever. I wish he could have interviewed Jeff Porcaro truly the greatest who left us way too early. 17yrs old and playing on National TV with Sony and Cher then going to play for Steely Dan the greatest writers of all time,mind boggling . All of us at 17 were figuring how to get laid or what am I going to take in college to make my parents happy .
SK is the shiznit! Love his kander and truth. He has an awesome story. Bullied little geek who paid his guitar dues to get great. No ego, just a damn dude, period. Thanks for all the good shit SK!
Steve I caught you perform in Hollywood right before lockdown and your tone was gorgeous man! I went basically knowing Africa, by the end of the concert I realized how many songs I loved and grew up with as a kid, absolutely epic, top 5 concert in my life, up there with Pink Floyd, Stones, Page Plant Reunion, McCartney, Winwood. You're one of the greats and the sound is timeless. I realized I am a huge Toto fan.
Steve Lukather is a National Treasure....supreme musician
It’s because of musicians like these guys I haven’t quit social media entirely. Those that can, do. Those that can’t, criticize. Lukather needs to perform - let’s hope that live music returns.
Steve is an absolute legend . His book is pure gold -hopefully a volume 2 👍
Lukes book is really entertaining and informative and I have the audio version and there's classic Luke colorful language all thru it!!!!!
Luke has Said he'll never do another book. Some things better left untold haha
2 of the coolest dudes in music, Steve and Joe.
Lukather’s 80’s tones were amazing. The solo on “I’ll Be Over You”, I chased that tone forever. He’s one of the best studio guys ever!
This is one of the best down to earth real interviews I have seen Joe do. I am blown away
I hope we get to see Steve and Joe jam together in 2021. Two humble masters.
I felt like I was in the room with you guys! Very candid, Luke your a riot!!! I appreciate it Joe!!!
Steve is one of my all time favorite and he’s a hoot.
THANK YOU ! I We love you guys for that video ...

What a wonderful conversation.
You make your guests shine. You listen and ask the right questions and let them go. Awesome!
I love Steve's sound in the 80s. That was the sound everyone was pushing the limits at the time
Could listen to Luke all day. So much wisdom.
I love Luke. So talented, cool & down to earth.

This one is, hands down, my favorite interview thus far! Great one!
Two guys, tons of sympathy and thanks for you two... enjoying your music
Two of the BEST GUYS in music today. Not to mention, two MONSTER players. Really enjoyed this one!
Beautiful and so honest, love both of you guys even more now..
Luke has always been a trend setter for me and always grabbed my heart. Effects, no effects you knew that incredible sound, music and energy. A real mover and shaker and I'm forever grateful.
always loved and respected steve he is honest and a great guitar player and writer singer. keep doing what your doing steve all good by me.

Steve I love your tone and the sound on Out of Love is so great!! I would listen to that song over and over again!!
I love this show...............I didn't realize Lukather was such a cool cat.
I have learned so much about the music industry since I started watching Nerdville. It’s the most interesting podcast ever. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us.
I would love to be at a table and just listen to this guy talk. Man! The stories!
Screw the critics...also known as those who can't play.
Thank you Joe for this interview with Steve. Can't get enough.
Hilarious. Insightful. Steve, don't worry about what people say brother. You are the authentic experience. Peace and love.
Luke is by far his best solo album ever. His autobiography is amazing and I recommend highly
I have been lucky enough to meet both of you..( and to me ).. You two are each a Class Act... It's a shame that some people choose to Pick on Steve.. He's a Great Funny guy.. and as you know a MONSTER Guitar Player.. Yeah.. There are people out there now a day's with more chops BUT...

So glad you had him on.. Thanks Joe B.
Don’t be sorry for anything Luke, you are a REAL guitar hero and have always had a fantastic guitar sound!!
Steve is one of my favorite guitar players of all-time, he's a living legend. And he seems to be a very nice guy too. I would love to have the opportunity to have a beer with him talking about music. All the best, Steve. Take care, stay healthy!
Another great interview by JB. Thanks for these outstanding interviews Joe! Keep up the great work.
"Your house smells like an old Les Paul case" hahaha!
Little tree and Les Paul should get together! I would buy that for my car!
I enjoy the podcast very much. Thank you Joe for bringing the stars to light
This was a great interview Joe you and Steve crack me up great stories.Steve is a great player as you are too really enjoyed this.
Best ever at guitar and storytelling
Lukathers book, the Gospel According to Luke, is one of the best bio's I've ever read.
Luke is truly the greatest! Thanx for a great show!

Love live from Nerdville! This like all the interviews was great. Could listen all day. Thank you

I missed the live, but watched on replay! So good! These are such amazing interviews, Joe!
I had heard Steve in short interviews in the past, and I thought that he was kind of weird and sort of crass. This interview really opened him up for me, and now I get him (as much as any stranger watching an interview can). This really got me to like him. Great job on this, Joe. This made me smile a lot.
Fantastic Interview Joe! Luke is the man.👍💯

Such a great interview. So deep and rich a life.
What a monster of a guitar player. One of the greats.
Met Luke back in 1981. Great guy and one hell of a musician.
Awesome! Love Luke and Joe
Here’s 2 of my all time favorite guitarists.
A great show! So glad you guys put this kinda stuff out, hilarious moments and after listening to the music for decades it's cool to hear casual conversation from talented players.
I love these shows. So many cool guests and it‘s all about music and life. Thanks.
Finally got to 'know' one of the artists that made a song I had a chance to sing in a choir arrangement. And my absolute earworm song. Oh, Africa....
I love Steve's philosophy of life. Very interesting artist. Thank you Joe & Team for this interview!

when I was a kid, Hold the Line solo was one of my favorites!!....and the Hydra album was on my turntable constantly!!!
Saw Steve playing with Larry Carlton doing their jazz fusion thing probably around 2000 time frame. Great show. Those guys are huge in Japan.
Fantastic interviewer, knows exactly how to make room for someone with so much energy like Steve.
