    Steve is the real deal, and one of the greatest musicians of all time... not to mention, a great soul!

    Steve is a amazing guitarist, probably of the top five ever. I'm 68 and been a fan since the 70s. I hope you continue with your music. All the best my friend!

    Steve you are so real and a humble human being and I admire you as a person and a guitar legend your beautiful voice is a big plus to your career!..

    Steve , I am still learning . And at 71 years old, that is beautiful. One thing I've learned from living a guitar life is ,practice and study out of your comfort zone.I discovered how much more I had to learn. And also , when my wife needs my attention,I give it to her. We have been married for 48 + years.You are a good example of how to survive as a rock guitarist. Not perfect,but real. Take care of your family and yourself.

    I do remain those old school ToTo-long playing records... Luke is the one who made me face the real music. Tnx mate

  • @sydneydreams
    @sydneydreams Před 3 lety +5

    Luke, you are such a warm, honest, loving human. I am loving hearing about your spiritual journey, when you feel safe you'll have to visit Sedona. You'd dig the spiritual community here.

  • @AdolfoTorresMIJO

    Lukather is the greatest!! He just demoted Ringo from “AA” to simply “A” without skipping a beat!! 🤣🤣🤣

  • @tomdecuca3627
    @tomdecuca3627 Před 3 lety +1

    It is so good to hear he still records the old school way. There is a distinct difference in the way things sound. "The old guy on the hill"!! Reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode "the Old Man in the Cave"! Love listening to Steve.

  • @modspell
    @modspell Před 3 lety +1

    Jeff was one of my influences back from the Toto debut album. I can only imagine Luke’s devastation to lose not only the band’s original member, but a cherished friend. And the Mike dies. That will shape your soul. I miss them terribly as well. Thanks for the raw honesty Luke, it’s great to feel your heart.

  • @ChromaticHarp
    @ChromaticHarp Před 3 lety +4

    Luke is my idol. I absolutely love him, he’s such a real person. What a great musician.

    I think Steve Lukather is a wonderful person and, for me, the best guitarist ever. I follow and listen to him and Toto for decades. Keep healthy and I hope we can enjoy your person and music for years to come!

  • @edjohnson105
    @edjohnson105 Před 2 lety +1

    Glad to see Luke taking credit for quitting drinking instead of giving credit to a rehab group or higher power. I had a similar experience with the morning vodka blues. It's hard to quit, and nobody can do it for you. If you manage to stop, give yourself some credit.

  • @SwampEye1

    Luke .. Never seen you so communicative as in this Video ...

    @kayokk- Před rokem

    Always a pleasure hearing from Steve. And amazing guy and a good friend to have.
    The interviewer is so amateur at his job that he doesn’t know when to jump in, and when not to, he rarely lets the story completely play out, but instead he’s mangled in his own mental thoughts rather than listen to what’s being spoken and actually going on. 😢
    Such good opportunities missed to do it in a more refined way.

    Love Luke’s awesome self deprecating humour..a mega star without the asshole ego ...refreshing 👍

  • @RonTimmonsM1
    @RonTimmonsM1 Před 3 lety +2

    Luke makes the interview great. I miss an actual band that records like he says. I lived it back in the day. Now it is easy to make songs. However, getting great musician's to record and having great lyrics and the structure is a great starting point. Doing it remotely is a different environment and not as fun or tight with room to breathe but at same time it's still making music with real musicians.

    Steve is the epitome of humility..... with all that he has accomplished, I rarely hear him bring up his bronze medals from the Special Olympics.

    "They don't have the balls for it."
    100% correct.
    It's really sad what's happened... musically, societally, and spiritually (i.e. enthusiastically).
    To put it eloquently,... most shit fuckin' sucks these days.

    Message to Steve: 37:48 "I'm in my 50's but on behalf of all the 'fn punkass kids who dont have the chops for that', your comment was extremely disappointing and arrogant given so many young people look up to you. True, you are extremely talented but studio tools are available to everyone nowadays and why not make use of them rather than going to a studio, we've also just been through a pandemic and times have changed and people do good work at home. There are very talented young people out there and its not true that everyone can write a song, not a good song anyway. It takes years of passion and hard work. I dont appreciate arrogance from you or anyone and you're very lucky to have gone through trying times in the studio where u just had to play 'the fn thing'. Not everyone is as fortunate as you Steve/Luke or whatever your name is. After listening to this, you've come down from a very high place in my list of heroes, absolutely disgusting." Don't want his book anymore.
