Steve Stevens is one of the greatest American master guitar rockers rock and roll has produced in the past 30 plus years....he should be in the rock & Roll Hall of fame , he and Idol - NOW!
Agreed 👊🏾✊🏽. When I was in high school, Billy Idol hit the scene like a sledgehammer against the biggest artists. Us young guys were all into guitar players and this guy was definitely underrated. This solo was mesmerizing. Astonishing that more people don’t rave about him. I even heard a little Roy Clark homage in there. Fantastic player
He is one of the most extravagant guitar players out there, yet he comes across like somebody you most definitely would love to have as a friend neighbor. The guy is as cool as they get.
Steve Stevens is one of the greatest guitar players alive , or in history as far as I'm concerned. And I've been on this planet for over 5 decades. If you don't think so from this video, go and see him play live. He will blow your mind, guaranteed.
Steve Stevens is a great guitar player. I saw him live twice in the 80's with Billy Idol. Steve also played the instrumental theme song on the movieTop Gun, and he Played guitar on Dirty Diana with Michael Jackson. Steve also played with Vince Neil for a while, and had his own solo albums. Steve Stevens also greatly admires the guitar virtuoso that passed away today. None other than Eddie Van Halen.
Not the slightest underated.Anyone that knows anything about rock music and guitar playing knows that Steve is one of the best and thats all that matters.
Steve stevens is such an awesome guitarist. Creative, versatile, and a heck of a nice guy. Really "Down to Earth" in all the interviews I've seen. I wish I could play like him.
thank you Steve! You and Glenn Tipton have the mote influential on my humble playing than anyone else I think. Masterful AND fun is the pinnacle of playing, and you nail it :)
I've been a fan of Steve Stevens ever since the beginning of the Billy Idol band. I've always believed that he is one of the most underestimated guitarists of all time. He didn't even make it in Rolling Stone's top 250 guitarists list. A real shame he was overlooked because he is easily in the top 100!
I watched a lot of Steve Stevens on you tube videos all I can say this guy is so chilled, Zero ego and genuine that makes him COOL, its hard not to like him I love his hair too
Yes he can shred with the best of them ...but the best thing about SS is his musicality and ability to come up with killer, epic, guitar parts that make the song in many ways. He’s a Legend!
Obviously by the so called unlikes , what a miss out . If you are truly a musician at heart if not actually one yourself , then you’ll never understand the meaning of just tunes without words . Also all hard working efforts from band members who do not get the recognition that they do well deserve most of the time . Even from the hard working people behind the equipment - etc., all I know is I appreciate this - Thank you God Bless Steven S- & hope William gets better 🙏🙏❤️ttt24
Me to ,but hey there's no need for name calling. That guy probably doesn't even know you, how's he know if yer a bitch. Buy me a 12 pack and I'll beat the snot out him for you
Que guitarrista! Pienso que el exito de Billy Idol se debe en un 50% a la magistral forma que tiene este Steve para tocar su guitarra....WOW! Además de guapisssimo.
He's a true virtuoso guitarist. From his bubblegum stuff with Billy Idol, the glam rocky Atomic Playboys and his classy understated material with Bozzio and Levin, everything he plays is sublime.
What a talent. I always knew he was a great rock guitarist, but I had never heard him play cleanly like this. Wow. Amazing dexterity and incredible rhythm. Lots of classical and flamenco influence in this solo. 👏
Steve's been overlooked in the past but real rock fans know that he's the shit! We all know that rock musicians are pound-for-pound the best musicians. For those about to rock, Lord Steven Steve's, we most humbly salute you. Amen.
Michael Teter The point is that when I'm rocking out in the gym, etc, I'm LISTENING to Steve not fucking looking at him. Just as when I rock out to 'Queen' I don't go fuck me 'Freddie's' was a bio!
traditional with the cigarette in his mouth....For me, he's the best guitar player ever!!! He puts his emotion into the his instrument...I love it!!! Thank god for this man!!
thank you for posting this video. i didn't know that Steve Stevens was such a great musician.He's amzing! I bought the vinyl of rebell yell when i was 13 and since then it's been among my favourite records. Good Bye from italy. Ciao MAuro
He’s from another planet, whoever designed him thought, with a New York accent and superb guitar skills he should be able to get us the intel we need from those earthlings
was checking out some billy idol videos, steve stevens interviews. When this video for SOLO came up at Hamburg show, i was expecting some wild , electric, whammy bar effects guitar solo. I was blown away ....on a classical guitar!! This is so cool.
Absolute mastery of a rich and multi-cultural musicality and instrument. What he can do with his synth-guitar is breathtaking but it is the emotion that prevails. The public spends a moment floating above space-time ! A great master that all and any guitarist should listen to.
YA Steve... WAY TO friggin' GO Show all these kids that You can keep getting better and better BRAVO ... a true artist unbridled by genre or decade CHEERS Rick Spyder
Steve is such a great guitar player, when the guitar player polls come out he is never on them. I guess that makes him underrated . This is so much better than all 32nd notes
@rollin stoned and wildcatter63 what gets me is how many people actually go by polls, then argue that the poll is evidence of some opinion being facts. Peoples opinions are based purely on ignorance. Nobody can claim one player is better than another, because they never sat down in a room with the players they are comparing and observed a live demonstration by each player based on their skills. The truth is Steve stevens and many other great players that do not have the credit they deserve are better players than any of their own best performances because they never stop improving everyday.
The way I see it is nobody is equal, nobody is better, there are great players and they are all great for not being equal to anyone but rather for being who they are. No two should ever be the same. It is a fools job to rank them in any sort of order, class or category. great is great period. lets accept that and enjoy the greatness each has to offer.
+Frank Jedlitska If your a guitar fan go check out Guthrie Govan on electric and the best acoustic guitar player and showman Tommy Emmanuel. Clapton said Tommy e was the best he ever played with. Your gonna love it!! Cheeers!!
Just wow!!! Came across this accidentally after watching the dirty Diana video. Again I say, just wow!! Thank you fate for guiding me this way. I must share this

Steve, one of the greatest guitarists. Make it look all to easy.... what a master
master of none.
Much better than listening to boring Ynwei Malmsteem , hell yeah.
Steve is a huge part of why Billy made it so big.Amazing guitarist.
Billy knows it too!
They're a team🥰 and the absolute best😍💖💋
Some other artist can aprove it. Guitar part in MJ's "Dirty Diana" is a job of Steve's hands too =)
I met this fantastic guy at a Sweetwater meet & greet. His guitar abilities are incredible as well as being humble and relatable.
He is one of the most extravagant guitar players out there, yet he comes across like somebody you most definitely would love to have as a friend neighbor.
The guy is as cool as they get.
He’s amazing
Clean or with effects- the best IMO
Very cool dude i approached him at a coffee bean in los angeles awesome dude:)
It has taken me almost a decade to discover this.

UNDERRATED PERIOD....AND UNIQUE!!
The only guy who can wear eyeliner and black nail polish and not look like he lives with his parents.
Or ...is he actually that " cure" dude ...doing double duty with billy idol😎 ha ha
@@dougsmith1251 probably he also played for Michael jackson and pretty sure original top gun!
Together with Prince 😁
Alot of blokes can do that. If you're good at what you do, you can do what you want lol
What a musician guitarist !, no wonder Billy Idol kept him close. Fantastic
Steve is awesome. I've been watching him my whole life. Very talented. One of the best guitarist going.

Most under appreciated guitar player in the business. Mad skills , great dude , and on another level from everyone else.
Bravissimo e grezzo al punto giusto. Gente come lui dovrebbe stare sempre in circolazione!
One of the most UNDERRATED guitar players… EVER !!
He has a grammy though
Totally agree. Not neadly enough respect.
326656 true dat!!

Not the slightest underated.Anyone that knows anything about rock music and guitar playing knows that Steve is one of the best and thats all that matters.
He played some fantastic good music. He is a very talented musician.
Прикрастнейший гитарист с великолепной техникой, играет легко,без смазок !класс!!!🥇🔥👍
даже Путин был бы горд

thank you Steve! You and Glenn Tipton have the mote influential on my humble playing than anyone else I think. Masterful AND fun is the pinnacle of playing, and you nail it :)
Saw him do this in Vegas in January. Billy was great as well. They love their fans.

I never realized how good he was till I saw him play at the Live Aid show in Philly. They played The Beatles Revolution and Steve just tore it UP!
Absolutely love Steve Stevens!!!

Te doy la razon.....
Thank you masted, I love you
Excellent showman , player and songwriter!!
What a guitar player! will see him live next week, yep really truly, stoked!
He's a true virtuoso guitarist. From his bubblegum stuff with Billy Idol, the glam rocky Atomic Playboys and his classy understated material with Bozzio and Levin, everything he plays is sublime.
What a talent. I always knew he was a great rock guitarist, but I had never heard him play cleanly like this. Wow. Amazing dexterity and incredible rhythm. Lots of classical and flamenco influence in this solo. 👏
Steve is amazing. Killer solo.
After the great Hype at the 80th, Steve studied Flamenco Guitar and become a master! He loves Flamenco more than rock music!
hahaha "a master" lmao
Great to know! Flamenco is amazing. Robbie Kreiger of The Doors also a flamenco enthusiast.
Steve is a great rock guitarist. But just cause he’s playing Phrygian on a Nylon string guitar doesn’t mean he’s a Flamenco guitarist...
Shredding on a nylon guitar, fast and clean.. awesome dude!
One of the greatest guitarists to walk the planet! A national treasure there is no doubt.
Magic.
Love this man and your music.
Beautiful and brilliant!
What a great solo. Most rock guitarist solo's sound like a bunch of distorted noise. This was actually a beautiful creative piece. Great Job Steve!
I agree
Ja da kann man erkennen welche Tiefgründige Sensorik Steve wahrlich hat. Einfach Sagenhaft.Mfg. Othmar.
Awesome Steve, Thank You 🎶✌️🎶
Steve's been overlooked in the past but real rock fans know that he's the shit! We all know that rock musicians are pound-for-pound the best musicians.

He's amazing. But he looks like the hairdresser woman around the corner.
Michael Teter The point is that when I'm rocking out in the gym, etc, I'm LISTENING to Steve not fucking looking at him. Just as when I rock out to 'Queen' I don't go fuck me 'Freddie's' was a bio!
No I'm just making a joke. I've got two of his albums, and all of the Billy Idol albums he's on. He does rock.
and not even true
Roy Clark would kick his ass. So would Glen Campbell and Jerry Reed
I am awestruck by steve's unreal talent. thanks.
get the feeling there's a devil somewhere that has his signature on a contract?
Top five most underrated masters of ALL TIME

Saw You Men PNE Vancouver.. Outstanding..Thanks Foreverything 💯💞💘❤️🔥💝💋💯💞👈🎃👍
Rock flamenco played superbly by the best guitarist I have seen live (and I've seen a few).
You are oK...is a flamenco theme...if you want listen to another guitarrist...look at Paco de Lucia, Manolo Sanlucar...etc...and then we talk again
Check ben wood fr flamenco no one coming close to him
I have to admit, I never he could play that good. Great job. I completely underestimated his playing all these years.
Got to admit, I fell into this category too. Glad I found out more about him!
He plays this incredible beautiful music for all of us whilst enjoying a cig! Unreal!
Steve Stevens a true guitar legend and all around down to earth guy.
Godin Guitar and the GR-55. The combination is profound!
Steve Stevens is a BOSS!
My God!! Beautiful and amazing.
This guy, Stevens, is the Man.
He’s definitely among the greatest of guitar players in the world.

I really love steve stevens. awesome n amaziiiing ! god bless !
Artist are on a different plateau. To bad we don't have more of them.
Criminally Underrated!
One of the undeniable Masters... He has a vision and he commutes it through his music..
I never considered Stevens underrated...Definitely one of the most versatile guitarist in Modern Rock history, just born late possibly.
He is not that good top 50 maybe
@@edjakutis8413 It matters not, he's a professional human being. Being positive matters Eddy.
@@edjakutis8413 top 50 out of millions of players ( amateur and pro) over the years? we'll take that.
Steve you and the guitar share the same heart. Great playing man..bravo
thanks so much for posting, this is just wonderful
Speechless - 🎸 Steve Stevens - 🙏 Thank You

He’s from another planet, whoever designed him thought, with a New York accent and superb guitar skills he should be able to get us the intel we need from those earthlings
Thanks Steve just threw my guitar in the garbage. After watching you play
Accolades to Steve Stevens the driving force behind Billy idols Music.
I agree!
just figured out recently that i always liked Billy Idol stuff because of his sound
Exactly
Anton Oparin plays cleaner and faster)
Great comment !!
he did this shit tonight at SUMMERFEST all while smoking a cigarette and it was KICK ASS. steve stevens is a babe
was checking out some billy idol videos, steve stevens interviews. When this video for SOLO came up at Hamburg show, i was expecting some wild , electric, whammy bar effects guitar solo. I was blown away ....on a classical guitar!! This is so cool.
I remember when play with Vince Neil. Great guitarist. Hello from Indonesia
Underrated album if you ask me. Jerusalem slim stuff he done with Michael Monroe is amazing.
that trademark hairdo, and he still shreds it to pieces
Steve is just an out of this world Guitar Player Bravo thx for sharing ;)
Absolute mastery of a rich and multi-cultural musicality and instrument. What he can do with his synth-guitar is breathtaking but it is the emotion that prevails. The public spends a moment floating above space-time ! A great master that all and any guitarist should listen to.
