    John, I’ve seen and read lots of interviews with Steve Lukather, and I can say without question that this was the best. I’ve never heard him pour his heart out to this degree. especially towards the final few minutes. For my money, that’s the Luke you’d see when he’s home, relaxing with family and friends, a place where there are no cameras rolling. I believe we got to see that side of him because of the environment you bring with you. For starters, you’re doing interviews in your home, not a radio station or a studio with a zillion blinking LEDs, weird lighting, and a mountain of audio gear behind you-just a nice quiet, comfortable room. Along with a peaceful setting, you have a way of letting your guests know that they’ve got your undivided attention-they know they’re being heard, qualities you’d find in a great therapist. The fact that you’re able to consistently accomplish these things remotely makes your success even more astounding.
    I believe that most highly successful artists really want to tell their story. More often than not, though, they end up getting manhandled by journalists who are more interested in hearing their own voice. Unfortunately, the world is lacking good listeners. You’re one of the exceptions. Because of that, everybody wins.
    I’ve been a musician and diehard music lover my whole life. I want to know where the idea for a hit song came from, who sang backing vocals, what kind of mics and compressors were used. I read every last detail on every recording I’ve ever owned. Your RUclips channel continues to provide a way to scratch that itch. Thanks for keeping this old kid entertained. Well done, as always.

    Steve Lukather is a real deal, keeping it real, living legend of the music industry. High demand session player, Virtuoso, composer, singer...everything. The music flows from Luke. Love you, man. Also...love your relationship with your son, Trev. The fruit don't fall far from the tree.

    You know what, I absolutely love about your interviews, you let the artists talk. Most chime in when the guest is talking and interrupt the conversation and then move onto the next question. You just let the guest get the story out and that’s how an interview should be. It’s like a bunch of friends hanging out on a Friday night shooting the breeze. .

    Luke....
    God bless that man. He's so great in so many ways.
    I do feel in this one we get a sense of some of his inner demons. At times he seems to be responding to questions John isn't asking, and accusations nobody would (or nobody should) make. But I've heard the new album, and it's awesome. Wish him all the best for this new record.

  • @brushman20
    @brushman20 Год назад +3

    How can anybody not love Luke??! Like he said, there will always be some purists who don’t like when classic bands perform without original members, but let’s be honest, most of the bands that fall into this category are missing one or more OG members. People still pay to see Foreigner with zero. Having seen the most recent tour, I can say honestly say that they sounded great. The musicianship is exactly what u wud expect from Toto. Sput’s playing actually shocked me, and Warren, Mags, and Xav can all really sing. Have only listened to the new album a couple times so far, but it sounds great.
    Fantastic interview John! Its easy to see that u have good rapport with Luke. It’s been a long time now, but I did get to meet and talk with Luke after a show once, and he was as genuinely nice and humble as he is here. I will always be a fan and support this guy!

  • @trusso11783
    @trusso11783 Год назад +1

    I have been a fan of Steve since I heard he played the solo on Running With The Night. Really getting into him lately. As a guitar player, listening to Luke makes me want to just burn my guitars and forget it. As for Prince, he was a weird guy. I know someone who did Security and one night, he was sent to Paul McCartney's house in the Hamptons. He was instructed to not ask a lot of Beatles questions. He got to Paul's house and then Paul went out for the night. When he returned, he had a nice conversation with him and Paul was a regular down to earth guy. Contrast that to when he got called to do security for Prince. He was told outright to not make any eye contact with Prince whatsoever. Imagine that? Kind of full of himself. As talented as Prince was, he was a dim light next to any of the Beatles.

    Since it came out, the scorching solo on Peter Cetera's Livin' In The Limelight has always been one of my favorites. So recognizably Lukather. Excited to spin the new Lukather and Paich albums tomorrow. From Child's Anthem to 2023 - these guys have always been the best.

    Extremely talented guy who's MUCH too hard on himself. We're only human, and we all make mistakes, so be kindv to yourself, sir - you're a good person who's well loved!
    Though well revered for guitar, and rightly so - initially, what stopped me in my tracks was that alluring, buttery, voice! It drew me in and touched my soul - a thing of beauty!
    Re hair: I like the gray, but if he's not happy with it he should speak with his hairdresser - I'm sure they can come up with a soft, gorgeous, color that works well for him. Sky's the limit at the salon so have fun with it!
    As for life moving on - we're all headed in the same direction - it's not over 'til it's over, so until then... enjoy!
    Thank you for your humility; For sharing your body of work with us, your life's precious moments, and for being so genuine. ✌
