Steve is such a down to earth guy ...dont think you could get anyone more down to earth...
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.
Bill Knudson
Well.said Bill ❤
About 15 years ago, Toto played a casino outside St. Louis. He was at the bar 15 minutes after the show. It was like talking to an old friend. Thanks Steve. Cool dude. Zero rock star tude
Steve Lukather is a class act, gives credit where credit is due.
Saw him twice this year. He gave me a setlist and 3 of his guitar picks. My favorite guitarist !!!!
He is a great guitarist and seems like a fantastic person. Really like him too
Luke is absolutely hilarious. I could listen to this guy for hours
TRUE!!!
Tammy...read his book. Just reading the words is like he's in the room with you. 😊
Ditto 🥰
Listen to his book. Its the best rock bio ever narrated by the man
Steve is a real dude. No BS, will tell you anything, straight up, the goods, to a total truth. It's rare to find a person like that in this day and age.
Always love a Luke interview. Yeah Steely Dan my desert island stuff too. Thank you.. Great stuff. I don't see how Jeff's wife can say shit, cause it wasn't just Jeff it was David P who started the band too and he is the one that is left. Keep Toto alive it is great.
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.
Love his playing! He put the work into being great.Not an easy thing to accomplish . His humility is the most impressive thing. God Bless you both .
“Bridges” is seriously one of my all time favorite albums now. I listen to it every day.
Steve Lukather..is best in the business.. godspeed in all you do.. long and happy life..thanks for music and memories(same age)..🎸
Albert Einstein meets the Troll! Classic! Love the gray/silver. Brother John; that’s where I am. I look like I pulled my wig back or that my forehead grew. Thanks for the Steve interview. Have a great Friday. God bless.

“Einstein meets a troll doll look”. If only I had the hair for that …
It would be so cool to hang with Steve….he’s got stories….I’ve got ears!
Many years ago, Steve and I talked about Brad Delp and that Mexico gig. I was a close friend of Brad, it's nice to hear him talking about this again.
One of the greatest vocalists that ever lived, so sad what happened to him .💔
Man, what a great guy. I would love to shake his hand one day
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. .
Agree!
Such a great interviewer!
You look good as a Silver Fox Steve, see you in Atlanta in September.
LOVED THIS! Whenever I see someone has interviewed Luke I watch it. He's always worth my time.
I really appreciate his honesty on his personal struggles during COVID. He is hands down your best interviewee.
Was just rocking out to English eyes live at zenith in 1990. Killer track. Great solo from luke
A favorite track of mine too. My only disappointment about that song is the chorus vocals on a backing track.
I love all of Luk’s music. I love Bridges! I love Steve!
Loved hearing Steve refer to Stan Lynch. Great drummer. Didn’t know he was so good at lyrics.
John: Kudos for saying almost nothing and letting Luke just riff. Great interview.
Going to the gym right now to hear this album for the first time. Luke and the boys NEVER miss. I already know this will be amazing just like the rest of them.
Steve is such a class act. Ever since I read his book, I have grown to have so much respect for this man.
Steve, love your stuff! Be well......
“When you put it on the grid, you suck the soul out of it.” Well said.
There will never be another like Luke.
Inspiring doesn’t even begin to describe him and his music to me!
With Steve s talent his hair can be any color he wants!
Anyone who interviews Luke can probably have about 4 questions prepared and know that he will run with the entire interview after one question. What a generous soul. Good dude.
So true , love Luke , such a generous guy . Highly recommend his book. Thank you John for yet another awesome interview 🙏
What a fantastic interview John! Just a brilliant record. I love Steve! Awesome collaboration with family friends!❤🇨🇦✌️
Steve is a fantastic musician and a lovely guy who I have followed since Hold The Line - brilliant vlog and hope you are both well - Kevin UK
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.
A very acomplished musician... On the Steve Howe's biography, you can find only awesome AND respectful words for Lukather....
God bless you like
Kind regards from México
@johnbeaudin I've got silver at 52. It started coming in at 48!
And again, like he is, one of the purest and honest human being, and a hell of a musician.
Great interview once again John, thank you too, for every time you do this!!
What a brilliant Interview.
Steve's not shy! Lol ... enjoyed the interview.
Just had the honor of seeing Steve with Ringo at the Greek - he totally slayed
It was fantastic! I went to the Long Beach show too. I'm looking forward to the benefit for Ed Asner's foundation in September. And hoping Luke will tour behind Bridges. Such a treat to get to see him so many times in a single year...
As genuine as they come. Dude is funny as shit. Luke, the album is great! Keep it up!
What a great interview. Been a fan of Lukather since 1978. He seems like the most genuine person in the business. I could listen to his stories and the state of his world all day. He seems to genuinely care about those he knows. ❤
Love the new record !
This is yet another great interview with Luke. He is such an engaging individual, it's great to hear his candid remarks. Kudos to John for letting the interview wander in the directions it did. Fantastic!
I was always familiar with Luke but I did not know how great of a human being he is. Makes me like his music that much more
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!
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.
Solid Interview so far. Is there more coming up? I'd like to hear more about the creative process behind Bridges. Can you try to get Dave, Simon and Shannon, maybe Lee Sklar and Steve Maggiora to chat about their involvement in the album?
That was a very heartfelt interview with Luke. Thank you, John. ❤
Ridiculously good player. One of the best. And such a good hearted guy. Signed a few CDs for me after a solo show in London over a decade ago.
Steve is very wise and humble. I truly love this man. What a great human just being...
Great interview with Lukather John
I agree with Steve, no soul in music today, it's too sterile. The band in a studio playing together Analog beats the hell outta sterilized Digital.
Loving the album, you can tell you guys just gel as musicians. Songwriting , production , everybody plays their part, plus we get our fill of Luke !
Highly recommended .
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.
Cool look. Amazing musician. ❤
top interview !
I really enjoyed this interview 😊.
Thank you Steve for your book. See you in October in Little Rock. Thank you both😊
Saw Steve and Toto in CO Springs a few months ago and the band was amazing. Joseph sounded great and I’m just glad I got to see them live. What a legend.
Got Luke's new album. It's OUTSTANDING-LOVE it!! Go get it!
Just received the new album and have been playing it on repeat pretty much all day. - This is something I really needed. I Love it! I can't pick out a favourite track yet.
I sincerely hope Luke will always have the itch to want to make more music. 😃
Pepperland Records in Orange, California told me about the Tambu album in 1996, when you had brick and mortar stores ONLY! Yes, I special-ordered it there.
Legend.
Steve is world-class brilliant yet so humble such a great hang!
He’s is such an inspiration to me!!! I just love the guy. He’s one of my favorite guitarists of all time.
Steve, thanks for the enjoyment you have provided in my life and keep on keeping on!
Awesome interview, and stoked to hear about Trev and Stan Lynch's involvement. I will go and get this TODAY!
Saw Steve last Summer with Ringo at Tanglewood, he was Awesome!! Thanks Great Video!
Luke is so funny, a great player, so play on their is still some great music inside you. Love the new album!!!!
Wonderful chat Steve and John. Hoping my copy of the new album arrives today, the music I've heard from it is superb...
🎼STEVELUKATHERFOREVER❤️🔥Thanks John for this new Luke-Interview 🙏🏻Luvit❤️
Steve, you look great! Totally works for you! Your career and talent are a constant inspiration. Thank you!
I'm in awe of folks who can write good lyrics and on a consistent basis.
Mr Luke, you are one of the best. LOVE you from Romania
Prince and Boston. Love Luk for loving them. With Toto, their albums were the soundtrack of my middle and high school life ❤
As per usual a gre a t interview with 2 guys who really dig each other.humble and honest...Luke is a mighty musician,and a man of integrity...Bridges rocks,and I hope we get the band TOTO Dogs of Oz here in Australia real soon,with some solo stuff as well...please bring Trev as well..again great catchup
Great interview - thank you!
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. ✌
Wonderful interview! Luke is such a wonderful person to hear from. Love listening to him speak about life and the importance of growth. I saw them twice at the MGM in Ohio. Got some footage on my channel if you’d like to see it.
Great interview John! Huge fan of Steve Lukather.
Great interview. It's hard not to appreciate Luke, and you do a great job of letting him share what we find interesting.
So, there's another album I might have to purchase. LOVE the artwork for the album, Steve. Thanks, John.
Love Luke!
He's humble and down-to-earth and great guitar player and good singer
❤️ Steve! Thank you.
I love everything about his honesty!!!
Love Steve. So many great stories from a truly stellar career.
Love these interviews with Steve. Seems like a really nice guy. Always has great stories. Still can’t believe he’s the one that sings 99. Seems like an eternity ago.
What a great record! It does remind me of 80’s-90’s Toto and that is never a bad thing. My bucket list was always to meet Luke, probably won’t happen, but still a great thought.
Nobody does it better (playing instrumental tracks) than you, Luke. We need an instrumental record next, please...
mr lukather
was often on a music telly
show, whenever he visited Oz / down under.
it was called g.n.w

fantastically hilarious
every time he was on the show.! ☺️😊😃

I just finished listening to Bridges, the whole album. Luks best work!! First Toto concert was 1979, at the famous Cleveland Agora. Boy do i miss those days!
Great!! New Music from the Genius! When can we expect the Road Tour?
Hoping ... 🤞
Love Luke, always honest and tell live like it is. Great interview.
I got the new album the day it came out and have played it twice a day since in the car, I love this album, a classic already, and wow im listening to a week old album in my car and i feel great as it feels so familiar ❤
Love you man☺ no need to apologise for being awesome👌
LOVE the new album (and really love the hair!)
Great interview. Steve is just a great guy
We’ve always loved, respected and appreciated Luke. Great guitarist and songwriter and a straight shooter. John, you have always done great interviews and so love your channels.🙏🏻❤️🎧
