What’s so cool is the way Steve always points to the talent of other great guitar players instead of building himself up even though he’s one of the greats. He just loves great music and appreciates other artists and what they do. Love this guy.
Luke is a phenomenal guitarist, like Eddie. I see why they were so close. I believe they complimented each others talent. Both are legends in my book! Thanks for all the great music Steve. I've been a fan since the early 70s.
Steve Lukather is so talented that he can complement any style. Toto may have been "Progressive" kind of, but really, the music had 60s Soul, R&B, Jazz, and some Hard Rock. His guitar style always went where he directed it - I suppose from his years as studio session man, where you better be able to deliver the goods, whether it's Big Band or straight rock, etc.
this man, steve, is so modest, i mean his playing is amazing, and he is still going strong, this covid shit has hurt so many people in the industry, steve is so under rated, he has a creativity and instinct that few players have, when you party with eddie our late guitar god, those great talents just seemed to flow with these guys, steve is one of the very best players around, think of vai, holdsworth, lynch, malmsteem, eric johnson, steve is an amazing guy and so very laid back, we love luke, steve if you see this? we love you man, i am sure once we all get unlocked the best is yet to come,...............
LOVE U STEVE LUKATHER....GOD BLESS U BROTHER.....LOVE U TOO JEREMY.....THANK U FOR ALL THE VIDEOS....IM LOVIN ' THE CONVERSATION SINCE I PLAY GUITAR...👍🌛
😂 At least they were just naturally formed boogers. Now, back in the day, Steve’s boogers were of the whites lumpy kind. Thank God his boogers “got clean” a while ago. 😂
Luke, you are a primary reason why guitar culture started to focus on space, not playing, focused lines. The terms “it’s what you don’t play”, “listen”. It’s not about the chop trophy or the waves in the ocean that never settle. Any cat who goes back and listens to the catalog by the record, EVH would say to any new kid - go listen to Steve. You brought some shredders to Steely Dan and Carlton. And I had to learn to play the 3rd harmony linear to Rosanna to prove to myself I could play a solo that was in the leagues of Charlemagne in under 6 measures.
When Eddie was asked "How does it feel to be considered the best guitarist", Eddie responded, "You should probably ask Steve Lukather that question." Two guitar gods.
Luke you are the friggin man and have been for me since I first heard you with Boz. Your Luke album is def on my top 5 deserted island lists. I’ve got to meet you one day, we have a mutual friend and I will never stop bugging him for an introduction...lol I did get the honor of meeting Ed and it was amazing. He was as humble and nice as you could ever hope for. If I ever got to meet Clapton I could be content in knowing I met my biggest influences. Thanks for being such an amazing player and R.I.P. Edward Forever the GOAT 🙏🎸
Masta indeed!!! Luke has always had an enormous sound, regardless of the era. His tone back in the early days was always killer. His playing is just incredible, I can never say enough about it. He obviously has been applauded well for his work with other artists and recognized for his playing, but I still think he’s highly underrated in the overall scope of the all time greats. He belongs in the conversation of the all time greatest players.
I still have my rack although I have not played it live since 1998. It's collecting dust in the corner of my garage with all my other gear in flight cases.
Had to smile with this one... I saw a Toto concert in the late 80's, outdoors... excellent show, but guess what... Steve we couldn't hear you. :( We were actually seated close to the PA board.,wish I had suggested cranking up that dry feed to the sound guy..
Luke is a monster player, RIP Eddie was gr8 Holdsworth gr8, met Al in ohio he played jazz club tiny setting, got him on break had drink, he was such a humble kind sweet human and well I was like a table away from that tone those hands jaw on floor, just blown away. If I could choose to play like 1 it would def be Luke. The cat has it all and can play it all. Thats my humble opinion. He's very modest, toto kicked ass, lukes skills are 1 of the best. Gr8 podcast.
I know what he means about arenas, it's that split ch... Arenas? Sorry, I thought he said 'back of a pub where the pool table usually resides.. Apologies.
Sorry guys, my english is all but perfect...I couldn't hear clearly from 3:20 to the end, when he talks about the volume between dry and wet and how they were miked...can anybody help me, please? Thank you bros...
The volume would depend on the setting… for outdoor venues, the wet signal could be much louder because of lack of natural acoustics & reverb, whereas for indoor venues, the wet signal was brought down based on the acoustics of each room… the more cavernous & echoey the room, the less you would want those effects in the house… otherwise you end up with a whole lot of wash & no punch/definition in the guitars
@@1madaxeman I am so serenely relaxed and comfortable with guessing I could probably shit my pants at will right here should I so desire. Meanwhile I hope ya right with ignoring every single video with Luke with clean hands in it on the internet. I don't mind telling you there are one or two out there. Hows aboutyaself - how often do you wash hands?
For all of Lukathars Greatness as a Player and all his accomplished as a Major Session player on thousands of records Dare you to find a more humble and gracious guy.
Gary’s Rock/hard rock era 1982 - 1989 is phenomenal. He’s such a great story teller and songs like Murder In The Skies was a true story about how the Russians deliberately shot down a Korean jet killing everyone on board. Jeff Beck was impressed by him and he was George Harrison’s favourite player.
I’m going to suggest that the vast difference was in song creation and innovation, not in technical skills. Eddie (with the critical input of DLR) simply wrote better songs than any of the other guitar virtuosos not named Jimi.
Screw that! I can afford to have somebody change my oil too. It’s not expensive. Call me crazy but I enjoy doing my own yardwork, changing my own oil, fixing broken appliances, cleaning and oiling my own firearms etc. You know, men doing men things. Get those hands dirty!
Bike trouble , Steve ? I see... Steve must have diversified into bike/ car repairs ( drawing on Jeff Beck's influences in more than one way then, LOL) or is just in the middle of gardening.. which proves that what he says here is true.. he ain't no pussy ( guitar ) player ! Even my car mechanic puts gloves on for tuning... engines.. and for what I know, he does not play any ( mean ) guitar .. Rock on, Steve!
@@JeremyWhiteShow Great show, thanks He's just awesome, saw him live with Toto lots of times.. if his mate Mike Landau also popped in for a chat that would be the cherry on the cake.. apparently he is impossible to catch.. n.b. It'd be nice to see guys like Dan Huff or Jeff Kollman etc.. the latter , relatively lesser known session player , deserves wider much wider recognition..humbly commenting
He's 63 years old, toured for nearly 40 years, and has lived through the stress of two divorces and losing both parents. His new car smell has worn off.
What’s so cool is the way Steve always points to the talent of other great guitar players instead of building himself up even though he’s one of the greats. He just loves great music and appreciates other artists and what they do. Love this guy.
I wish all musicians were as respectful as Luke is to other musicians.
Phenomenal player. Edward was the man. Hard saying was...RIP...Steve is another nice guy in the industry. Great live player
Luke is so talented and modest. I could listen to him all day. I hope he can get out on the road soon. Absolutely love this guy!
Hell yeah Todd! He’s the man. Got another vid posting with him later today. Make sure ya subscribe! 🤘🏻⚡️🔥

Which one?
I thought he was gunna start diggin for gold for a minute, soot build up.
Great he mentions Holdsworth.
Yup, Alan is obviously recognized as an influence on many... thanks for watching, hope ya subscribe!
Steve, after Eddie. He was an all around great musician, he sang composed some great tunes in Toto, and he was incredible guitarrist, still is.
I love the "ISOLATION" album so much...i grew up listening to that record....always been a Big fan of LUKE!
DITTO! I might be so bold as to say that’s it’s probably my favorite Toto album.
Gotta be my favorite Toto album ever!
Lukather is a monster guitarist AND a phenomenal songwriter.
AND singer.
@@dagoelius His singing is great, but it pales in comparison to his guitar playing and songwriting.

Two Legends
This guy has matured so much as a guitarist. He was always amazing, but he's actually better now.
What a great frickin dude Luke is. Genuinely humble and deferential to other musicians when he is a true master
Steve is a rock guitar God. Unbelievable musician. God bless.
One of the greats … and just a solid guy. ❤️

Together, they played "Beat It"
Yup!! Make sure ya subscribe and check out the vid I’m posting later today... all about Beat It! 🤘🏻⚡️🔥
Yeah they did. Was it Quincy or a technician who said that speakers got literally on fire when Eddies solo was played on them 😆 Some hot guitar solo
Nice to get some technical details and work arounds for practical live performance issues.
My man Steve, flickin' boogers during interviews like it ain't no thang.
Fuck yeah! When you're a legend, do wtv tf ya want! haha hope ya subscribe!
😂 At least they were just naturally formed boogers. Now, back in the day, Steve’s boogers were of the whites lumpy kind. Thank God his boogers “got clean” a while ago. 😂
Cocaine Bro. He looks like a homeless person.
Coke. LOL
I had a strong urge to pick my nose watching this video. Great interview, just got a distracted with his picking style.

Luke's tone that he had with the Mesa Mark IIC+ amps and the Bradshaw rig was easily one of the best tones EVER. I miss it, wish Luke still used it.
A true guitar legend
Steve have you been working on your car? Love ya brother!
Knew a guy that worked at Andy Brauer's Makin Music and we used to go and peek into his, and others rigs in the late 80s early 90s
Niiiceeee! Any cool tales about gear?
@@JeremyWhiteShow Allegedly....back in the day Landau's secret weapon was a flanger hidden in the back of hid rack.
I see Luke talking.......I click.....❤️
When Eddie was asked "How does it feel to be considered the best guitarist", Eddie responded, "You should probably ask Steve Lukather that question." Two guitar gods.
Two greats🥁🥁🥁
I’ll be over you Steve Lukather lo maximooooo😍
Yeah one trick people didn't know until eddie or Bob Bradshaw revealed that you gotta Mix in dry with the effects cabs too
Two guitarists in legend

Thanks brother! When you gonna come on and chat guitars?

*Jeremy White* THANK YOU *AWESOME*
.*CATER*
Amazing interview!
Thanks Juliano! 🤘🏻
Luke is one of the greatest studio musicians of all time! So many records! if You haven’t heard of him You’ve definitely heard him!
1000%!! Thanks for watching man, hope ya subscribe!
If you haven't heard the music of toto, You've probably living under the rocks?
It would be nice if Lukather would keep still!
Love ya Steve but you gotta wash those hands man.
Just came in from working on his printing press?
Wouldn’t matter he runs his hands through his dyed hair.
Luke is a monster player, RIP Eddie was gr8 Holdsworth gr8, met Al in ohio he played jazz club tiny setting, got him on break had drink, he was such a humble kind sweet human and well I was like a table away from that tone those hands jaw on floor, just blown away.

Steve Luk was great, always!!
Jeremy looks like Trev a bit and kinda funny😄
I'm interviewing Trev next month, I'll bring that up! 😂😂😂
Swing yer pants
Yeah I love this cat!! He tells it like it is.
I know what he means about arenas, it's that split ch... Arenas? Sorry, I thought he said 'back of a pub where the pool table usually resides.. Apologies.
Sometimes being the only guitarist in a band, having wet, dry would fill out the sound and sound like two guitars
Go ahead, Steve. Pick that nose, proudly. You're a rockstar.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm 1 min 30 seconds in and i had to scroll down to the comments because I knew I'd find this comment here.
Hands are manky too. Looks like he’s been down a coal mine.
Considering how much he played with nose and how jittery he was, it had nothing to do with boogers! But he's earned his lines!
Great show man.
lukater van halen i migliori al mondo
Luke rules. Great dude and musician.
Imagine sitting in a room with Ed and Steve. Ya... Imagine....
Sorry guys, my english is all but perfect...I couldn't hear clearly from 3:20 to the end, when he talks about the volume between dry and wet and how they were miked...can anybody help me, please? Thank you bros...

@@fulltonesmusic thank you...👍
Good to see Luke finally getting his hair right. Better late than never
Luke is a professional,
this guy is doing bumps!!! ❄️👃🏻👈🏻
You must have caught him working on his car cuz his hands are a bit doity! Ha! Good for him for having a work ethic whatever he was working on.
Get his book.... Do it....
Does Lukather ever wash his hands? :o
He's probably been in the garden or in the garage, he's got the vibe of someone who's been out of the house doing stuff
@@whynottalklikeapirat who knows, i hope ya right with your pure guess. lol

Dare you to find a more humble and gracious guy.
Buzz Feiten was using wdw way before Steve and Ed.
WHO?!
@@JeremyWhiteShow Bob Bradshaw's first client of note. Mike Landau was also using the setup before Steve and Ed.
Buzz was another studio cat also toured with a number of big 70s and 80s artists.
Wow, love Steve and Eddie! But that nose twitching reminds me of something that I thought was well past the older greats!
It’s like he thinks this is just an audio podcast and the camera is not On.
It’s a shame that Gary Moore was kinda pushed to the side during the 80’s. Eddie, Steve and Gary were on the same level.
Not a huge Gary fan, I wouldn't say he was same level... but good player none the less! Thanks for watching, hope ya subscribe! :D

Hey Steve have someone else change the oil in your car. You have enough $$
Screw that! I can afford to have somebody change my oil too. It’s not expensive. Call me crazy but I enjoy doing my own yardwork, changing my own oil, fixing broken appliances, cleaning and oiling my own firearms etc. You know, men doing men things. Get those hands dirty!
COVID dude.
Luke doesn’t want to put his little son at risk.
He barely goes anywhere and only lets specific people come to his house.
Has he been gardening?
steve wash your hands bro
Take a drink every time he runs his nose.
Luke rules!
Sniff sniff 😂
Is he a gravedigger? Look at these hands and nails
It’s probably the lighting lol or cold in his room😂
Hair dye..
I figured he was out with Jeff Beck working on a hot rod LOL!
LUKE ALWAYS DOWNPLAYS HIMSELF! HE'S A MUSICIAN'S MUSICIAN! ROYALTY!!!!!!!

Well when the coke is strong you nose itch.(Joke)
booger armstrong
What kinda drug causes that?
As of the god dam king is EVH & I dont see that changing in our lifetime. But dam my respect for Steve is immense love his lango his talent & passion.
Need a tissue Luke ?
tube amps are dead. Nowadays it's all about IRS and PA
Coke boogers...lol
not not doing blow
booger sugar
Man, did Luke just get done with a pike of coke?
Clickbait title. Barely talked about Eddie
But he talked about him... and called him a genius, it's relevant.
Steve probably should have blown his nose first, instead of picking at it the entire interview.
Steve casually picking his nose...
Why is he touching his nose?
What is so important up his nose?
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.....
It's pretty obvious that Steve is doing coke. Don't be fooled by his "I've been clean for 11 years."
Maybe wash your hands before an interview, kind of disgusting LOL
he's so coked up!
His Coke must be itching his nose 👃!" 👌💨
Haha cmon be nice...
@@JeremyWhiteShow there is someone on literally every steve interview that makes a coke joke. Kinda sad really
Coke nose?
yeah looks like he just did a rack before the camera rolled
Is he on drugs? He can't stop scratching his nose and moves around constantly like he's tweeking. Slurry speech as well.
Haha sometimes zoom does that for some reason... could be connection.
NO, he is NOT.
He's 63 years old, toured for nearly 40 years, and has lived through the stress of two divorces and losing both parents. His new car smell has worn off.
@M Ozturk he has stated emphatically MANY MANY times...he does NOT drink or do drugs anymore! This has been the case for YEARS. Let it go.
@M Ozturk true. Was really meaning for the person who brought it up to understand that. My apologies.👍🏼
Click bait.
