    We've heard Steve play far more often than we were aware, but the guy also has also been just a great personality and someone we wish we'd all hung out with. Thanks for making the world a better place, man.

      I just found out he's the one ripping at the end of "Running With The Night" DAAAAAAMN...that's explains it.

      Never,ever forget to mention the mighty Michael Schenker...I'm also a VH die hard fan but you can add guys like Steve Stevens,George Lynch who's a beast and few other,no?

    With all the success, Steve is still down to earth and got his feet well planted on the ground. Great video dude, keep it up.

    I discovered Steve Lukather via the Toto Hydra album. I am a drummer "slash" trying to be a guitar player and lover. When i heard the Hydra album i was hooked on that guitar player ! The drummer wasn't bad either,,lol

    Steve is so humble considering all he's done. Not only with Toto and Thriller, but he played on other well known songs, like the guitar solo on Olivia Newton John's Physical. Capped off his incredible career by touring with Ringo's All Star Band for the last 15 years. And he's not cocky at all about any of it.

    Saw G3 here in Adelaide a number of years ago. Had a meet and greet session with Steve L, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. Steve L was the only one who took the time to go out of his way to be friendly and talk about things. A genuine nice guy. Much respect.

    Great interview John. Really cool to see Luke so open and forthright. I’ve heard him mention some of these things before. I think he’s always worried about Toto not being respected as a rock band and himself as a rock guitarist as he mentions, but real fans know. Funny about thinking Van Halen was the guys name. I remember thinking the same.

    I love how Steve said he’s got memories of Eddie that he could never share that’s a true friend so many people would be running to sign a book deal after a famous friend passed away it’s awesome that he’s not doing that.

    Steve uh i hate to admit it cause i'm old too but your old and telling stories around the fire. :) I'm glad to be able to hear your stories. I turn 52 this year, but we always young at heart. Love to hear more of you guys this coming year!!!!

    The best part abt Steve is his humility and his friendship with Eddie is just obvious no pretensions.

    Luke was pretty close to Ed. About as close as anyone not named Alex could get to him. I’ll always miss EVH terribly.

    I don't think there is a greatest guitarist in the world there are so many styles and people who are amazing players. However, in my eyes a real musician is someone who can play, write, create and is real, down to earth, can talk to anyone and not look down on them. Steve is the real deal I could totally have a beer and play guitar with him. Even though he'd run circles around me haha but hey I'd stay in key and still rock it!

    This is an interview about Steve being humble, and a good friend of EVH.
    But the real point is, is that they’re like “ Gold medal Olympic athlete electric guitarists “. Those solos by Eddie.
    And by Steve. Especially Rosanna, and While my guitar gently weeps.
    ......I keep going to the woodshed, and it’s so hard to play anything recognizable sounding by either one of them.
    If everyone could do it, then it wouldn’t mean anything any more.

    Honestly, back in the 80s Eddie really blew me away but, I always thought there were 2 guitar players as good as Eddie, one of them was Steve Lukather and the other one Steve Stevens

    Steve, you forgot the part about your neighbor’s gardeners ruining the peace of your mornings and having to share a little rock and roll love with them to help them understand how rude they were. I’d wake up at 4 in the morning to witness that anytime.🤣😂

      Not really. Luke is secure about his place, talents and skills and probably enjoys talking about a good friend who passed away. It's called mutual respect.

    Eddie was NOT a "metal" guitar player AT ALL!! He did love Toto and soulful music so much that some of the best VH songs are AOR songs keyboard driven played by himself!!!

      For some reason they couldn't hear each other on Skype, so they kept the webcam but used the phone to talk.
