Stevens is so underrated. His riffs are giving Billy's songs so much energy. And Rebell Yell was one of THE best albums of the 80s for sure. Awesome performance, Juha.
The guitar press acknowledged Steve STEVENS' immense talents and important contributions to Billy IDOL's music (e.g., Steve STEVENS was featured on the cover of GUITAR WORLD numerous times); session work on Harold Faltermeyer's 'Top Gun Theme' and Michael JACKSON's 'Dirty Diana' ('Bad'). Outside the guitar community, Steve STEVENS doesn't get the recognition that he so deserves, much like Neal SCHON, Steve LUKATHER, Trevor RABIN,, Steve MORSE, et cetera. Mr. STEVENS is a monster talent and a humble individual.
@@fbettr2627 that's so true. They all deserves more recognition 💯 i guess average music listener is not so interested who plays what on the recordings...💁
Your playing is sublime as always; and your attention to detail(s) is surgical. This video is indicative of your immense musical and artistic talents; and equally, of your video editing talents. Simply put, your videos are brilliant. Your video editing style highlights the number of layers of guitar tracks featured on the original studio recordings; therefore, it further enhances my appreciation for a musician like Steve STEVENS and the amazing studio production on this song. I'm sure that you've made Steve STEVENS very proud. Thank you for sharing your many talents on RUclips.
Awesome job on this one. Steve Stevens is truly the best of the best. And this song proves it. Also, you can never go wrong with a ray gun. Probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen you do.
Thank you Sir. I will be meeting Steve Stevens later on this week and in the event he needs a backup guitar player, which often happens at these events I want to be able to assist. (No joking).
I love the solo to this one! Interestingly, if you set RUclips's playback speed to 1.5x, then solo sounds like something Slash would have played back in the 80s/90s! The phrasing is spot on. Give it a whirl 🙂Terv. Raisiosta, Juha!
@@JuhaAitakangas Hey Brother. I love the guitar. I had to do a setup on it after changing from 10s to 9s. It took me a while but I’m pretty much there now brother. Have a great weekend maestro
Steve Stevens knows how to serve a song ... there's technical players that can astound you with their pyrotechnics but if the song sucks then who cares. He is a great player. Now guitar playing has turned into a gymnastics excercise. There's always a moment for flash but it has tp be at the right moments. Steve knows when to serve up at that penache when appropriate.
WOW, so great, Juha! thanks a lot, so I can practise it with you for my band. overwhelming, the best in net... Stevie, Stephan from Germany near Duesseldorf
First time I’ve seen your video and glad I did. Loved this song since it came out in the 80s. It never gets old either. Just better with time. Very nice playing. You make it look so easy :)
Hi, you are kind of a right there. Bass goes to e but the guitar stays in Gmaj7...that creates beutiful Em9 sound. Sometimes in their live versions you can see Steve playing that E5 chord...either way works beautifully 😃👍🎸🎸🙏🙏
Classic Billy Idol song! RAYGUN thing is just for entertainment ;) I didn´t "play" it for real!
The toy gun sent me 💀. W job playing so accurately 👍
Thank you 😃👍🎸🎸
Where did it send you?
The slow mo hahaha loved it

He is bad ass
Oui c'est sur. Yes for sure!
OMG Mate That was outstanding, I almost spat my drink out when you reached out to use the ray gun in the solo. Insane playing. nailed it.
Thank you so much 😃👍🙏 Raygun part is hilarious 🤣🤣
I tried the intro riff......maybe another time
feel ya that shit is very tricky for my brain
I just died laughing the gun is so awesome
That's great 😂👍
This is the kind of RUclips channel I love. No BS, just straight up tone and awesomeness. Top stuff 👍🏻
That's nice to hear, thank you so much 😃👍🎸🎸
Damn right never subbed so fast😅 Other RUclipsrs need to be like this....no life story, no tuning BS. Fantastic and much appreciated.
One of the most underrated guitar intros of the 80s. Such a fun song, which you absolutely killed it on. Fantastic performance.

For a song that's been out for 40 years, it sure sounds timeless.
So much texture in Steven's genius! And he doesn't play in your face to show off....very humble guy.
for anyone wondering how he got the ray gun effect he just maxed the chorus pedal and pressed it on time that is the trick.
Iv'e been wondering this for years. It sound like a laser gun from star wars or something. I was always curious if it was the actual guitar.
There are videos on you tube where he shows the toy ray guns that he modifies to make the effect and how he holds it next to the pick up.
Billy idol comes over and does the ray gun for Stevie when they play it live.
@@Rustymyers1000Or you mean, hand it over to him?
The font is pretty hard to read, even on a larger screen. Good job on the cover!
Looks clear to me...but i have red that font almost ten years now 😉👍
Out-fucking-standing! That's not an easy song to play! Well Done!
Thank you so very much 😃👍🙏
OMG you crushed it, the ray gun destroyed me! Fantastic job!
Thank you so much 🤣👍
Never mind the great video and playing etc …..that Suhr is feckin awesome. What a finish 🙌🤤

Something special about that solo. Well played sir!

Absolutely amazing, I did wonder how you’d get that strange sound, and now we know 😂 legend mate!

Nice simple way of playing the song, although not the way SS plays it, nice example. Love the Ray Gun add.
Hi Coen, could you tell me which part do you mean? I tried to play it like the original...except that synth part...
fantastic
THE BEST COVER, JJAJAJAJ SO GREAT!!
Thank you 🎸🎸
What a monster track. Even the thumb picking. Stevens makes the song for sure!
He wrote great some great guitar riffs on this song 😃👍🎸🎸
Love your playing brother. Killer tone dude. Brilliant

Amazing!
Thank you Matthias 😃👍🎸🎸
That was sick🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 😃👍🙏
I found that if you set your tremolo effect (stomp box or Helix) to a pretty fast setting you can achieve the same effect.
Oh, that's great man 😃👍
Wow!👍perfect play!

Sorry, i don't speak Spanish 🙋♂️
Awesome job
Thank you 😃👍
I love how you slowed this down, played it, then sped up so it looks like you are playing it at speed 😆
So you are saying that i can't play straight eights in 166 tempo...come on, it's not that fast. Try it yourself and you will notice it 😃👍🎸🎸
Nice detail that toy gun. Mr. Stevens would approve :)
Thank you you 😃👍🎸🎸😅
Awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for your request 🙋♂️
How do you actually play the ray gun part though?
I'm not actually playing it. It's just for entertainment. Check out Steve Stevens tutorial hiw to use raygun 😉👍🎸🎸
Sensacional...
Thank you Marcus ;)
Nice cuts when youwould need to change to fingerpicking.
Yes, no change to switch the sound and picking that fast 😉👍
That guitar❤ is wish I was rich
OMG THE GUN LMAO
😅👍
Awesome but i think it goes to e5 after gmaj7. In the end of the verse. Right before the d5,A5,b5
Hi, you are kind of a right there. Bass goes to e but the guitar stays in Gmaj7...that creates beutiful Em9 sound. Sometimes in their live versions you can see Steve playing that E5 chord...either way works beautifully 😃👍🎸🎸🙏🙏
🤘🤘🤘 You play a lot brother, what a beautiful electric guitar, which model
Hi, thank you. It's Suhr Modern Custom.
The gun is a nice touch.
