Steve , HI am 59 years old, b. Aug.1961, I love your interviews! Your so real and authentic, humble, grateful, and badass at the same time. I spent 25 years in Boston playing with my jazz quartet/trio. I’m in WA state now having been diagnosed with Parkinson’s.& getting a divorce. I love prog stuff, Tull, Genesis, yes, Pink Floyd, Camel, Brand X.etc. Anyway I have become a big fan of your work. Keep rocking with Love In your heart. Love you man. Wish I could hang with you and play tunes. Stay focused. Harry Fix
Luke, my favorit guitarist......my Dad played his Les Paul, when I was young....he also played piano, lots of Honky-Tonk......I gave birth to TWO musiciand, the older son is a purcussionist, and my younger son plays guitar, banjo, anything with strings except violin......I'm blessed.....
That's the closest I've heard Luke or anyone explaining what occurred in the litigation. Fans who have followed the band from the beginning would certainly like to know the end result. I'm hoping Luke will address it in a full interview or perhaps a chapter of a new book. Additionally, you came close to touching on the money side of the music biz nowadays. On a future video, it would be great to hear an interview with artists, writers, players, etc on the methods of income and revenue distribution now.
An honest but difficult interview for the young guy. I think he did a good job. I certainly wouldn't handled it any better. Shame though that the video only got about 8.500 views after more than a month. I hope more people find it in time.
Motormouth! Wth? It's so funny... sounds like he's been doing the Dave Grohl "More Coffee" thing. Poor Tom wasn't able to finished his questions totally 95% of the time. But, there's tons of info in this podcast. Very cool. And Luke's face gets blacker & blacker each time he touches it with those hairdye hands :-)))
If you watch a good amount of interviews with Luke, you'll see he talks over/cuts off the interviewer in almost every one of them. He does the same thing to his bandmates when it's a group interview. It's a bad habit, no doubt abut it. For someone to automatically insinuate it's because he's high on blow is total bullshit.
What's up with his hands was he working on his lawn mower before this? I have not seen Luke talk this fast in a long time and I have not seen him sniff like that in a while either....a lot was explained here. Obviously Sam had to bail on the band with Lukes son due to lawsuit. Hope luke is ok he seems a bit off here. But lots off great information was given.
Thanks Steve I been watching all your interviews your truly awesome, your a member of the Greatest Guitarist’s named Steve Club Lukather, Howe & Hackett, but you have the best personality at least the funniest. Thanks again
Is he high, Phillip Goins? That's quite a statement you make. If you paid attention to anything Luke -- you'd know he's been off all drugs and drink for over 11 yrs.
@ShadowAngel There's a part in Pink Floyd bass player Guy Pratt's autobigraphy mentioning a morning recording session in the late 80s where Jeff Porcaro apparently offered him cocaine, with Pratt remarking something to the effect that 'coke at 11am was too much even for me' or something like that.
@ShadowAngel yo man, Jeff was the straightest one out of all of them. That's not fiction. He had an underlying heart condition that ran on his mothers side that he was unaware of.

Luke is wonderful...been listening to him since I was 15 in 78 when Toto IV came out....still love it....
Toto IV came out 1982, but there first self titled album Toto came out 78. :)
Love Toto so much! I'm about to see the live stream concert tonight and I'm so excited! I also already pre-ordered their solo albums.
GREAT INTERVIEW.
Saw the live Streaming Show . Unbelievable Setup, the drummer is from another Planet. The Best is yet to come !

I agree with Luke about most of today's music. Oh & a tip for you Luke- when colouring hair 💇, wear gloves 🧤
Need gloves big enough for a man hand. Wonder if Sally carries them?
😂
Hell yes. Looks like he's been workin on cars wit no glove on
What a great interview. I hope they show the steam concert again. Luke is funny.
I love how Luke is transitioning into Tim Burton. lol
Looks like he's channeling into his own grandma.
I could listen to the guy all day.
Great interview. Luke looks like he's been sweeping a chimney.
yes ...i am smiling ....very funny. ore he was working on an old car change somthing on the engine. haaaaaa he is so natural.
He was dyeing his Barnet! That’s why his hands are so black 😄
Lad, u make great interviews, great questions. Luke I'd a monster, musically & with radical humor. Nobody is like Luke, heart on sleeve.
Brilliant interview!! ❤

I love Steve Lukather , hes My Kind Of Cool . Rock on .
Great job Tom! Splendid work! Nice one :)

Turn Back is my favorite Toto album!!
There's no interviewing Luke, you just gotta let him ramble on!!! :D :D :D
So sad to hear about Bobby.

@ShadowAngel "Know it all" trolls are fucking predictable...Things are obviously more complex than just "he's high".
Steve, let the guy talk!!
Lol. He is a loose canon.
What's up with his hands was he working on his lawn mower before this? I have not seen Luke talk this fast in a long time and I have not seen him sniff like that in a while either....a lot was explained here. Obviously Sam had to bail on the band with Lukes son due to lawsuit. Hope luke is ok he seems a bit off here. But lots off great information was given.
The black hands are from his hair dye. He mentions it early in the interview
You're implying Luke is high on cocaine in this video. That's fucked up of you to post that.
You're reading a lot into this interview.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug!
Yeah agreed, it's alright until you can't have a real conversation....but it is what it is. We love him the way he is.
He been clean for 12 years still seems foggy tho😔
Thanks Steve I been watching all your interviews your truly awesome, your a member of the Greatest Guitarist’s named Steve Club Lukather, Howe & Hackett, but you have the best personality at least the funniest. Thanks again
Is Steve Lukather always this way? Jittery, all over the place, and constantly interupts the questions.
Got listen to his interview on the Bob Lefsetz podcast. Very interesting.
Damn. He's so high. But I love it. Because. It's Steve Lukather. 😂
Is he high, Phillip Goins? That's quite a statement you make. If you paid attention to anything Luke -- you'd know he's been off all drugs and drink for over 11 yrs.
Been sober for 12 years bro
He always talks so fast and can overtake anyone ...! So no way he is high !
Looks and sounds like a tired old man.
Luke is a terrible interviewee, he never lets a question through, as bit defensive?
@ShadowAngel your right about JP , watching his drum clinics from way back there was something amiss , could never work out what it was
@ShadowAngel There's a part in Pink Floyd bass player Guy Pratt's autobigraphy mentioning a morning recording session in the late 80s where Jeff Porcaro apparently offered him cocaine, with Pratt remarking something to the effect that 'coke at 11am was too much even for me' or something like that.
@ShadowAngel yo man, Jeff was the straightest one out of all of them. That's not fiction. He had an underlying heart condition that ran on his mothers side that he was unaware of.
He can’t help it....he’s always thinking ahead and has an answer for all those thoughts!
It has a lot to do with online zoom interviews. But Steve just like this. Has a ton of great stories!!!! His book was awesome!!!
