Thank you for your support
I've known Steve for years. Taken guitar lessons from him. I can say for certain he is very down to earth genuinely nice person.
you can tell he is just from interview
I hear you. Had lessons with him as well. Awesome guy for sure
@@bb-gc2txagreed also how he is on social media
Steve seems like a really genuine guy. I like his attitude and perspective. I wish him all the luck in the world
I remember Steve was doing guitar clinics in Germany, back in the day. Very nice guy indeed. And what a player 🙂.
Steve wrote a book on tapping in the '80 and I learned so much from that book. It came with a tape for the examples as well if I remember correctly. By writing that book, Steve definitely helped me become a better guitarist, thank you Steve and God Bless. And Mr. Green, your interviews are excellent my man, thank you as well.
Jason, another great interview with an extremely talented musician. Before this interview aired I watched videos of Steve Lynch demonstrating how he played guitar solos on Autograph albums. What a brilliant guitar player. It’s a shame to hear other musicians that were never original members trying to capitalize on the band’s original success. It kind of reminds me of when former Nameless Ghouls hired by Tobias Forge tried to claim writing credits to Ghost songs when Tobias owns all of the rights to the band. I’m glad to see Steve Lynch putting a passioned effort to keep the legacy of the original members of Autograph alive, as well as advocate for artists’ rights. I will be checking out some of his other work online. Thanks again Jason.
Thanks Sean, I’m with you
I saw them on Halloween night back in 85 or 86 in Chicago opening for Motley Crue. We had backstage passes met all the guys from Autograph and Tommy Lee. Mick went straight to the bus, Vince hung out for about 3 mins and left with a couple of ladies.. Nikki we never saw. Steve Lynch and Steve Plunkett were the coolest guys we hung out with.. THANKS Jason! Great interview
Autograph has definitely made their mark in music! Such a talented and cool band, for sure. I'm happy for Steve! Loved this interview, Jason!
WSTWJG interviews are the best on YT. Steve is always a solid interview guest. I’m looking forward to seeing him play live again someday. He’s one of the rare players from his era that played at a level way beyond the copy cats and also-rans.
Btw, I’ll be in Cleveland around the time of Steve’s Rock Hall visit. I’ll have to make a point to stop there if they are doing a public event.
I'm so happy for Steve Lynch he is one of the best guys I know great guy I'm good friends with him and the Kenny Richards that passed away
Jason that was a great interview with Steve Lynch! Love how your prediction came true! Hope to see you at the Hall Of Fame!
:) lol
There was a pretty bad delay coming back when Steve was talking.. bummer...but Autograph is still one of my favorite bands and love hearing Steve get us up to date. Thanks Jason.
I know Art and thanks for noticing
Loud And Clear, Brother Steve!
Jason Green predicted this outcome! Right from the start he knew hired musicians didn't have rights in the well-established brand Trademark. I mean, there's platinum albums these guys had nothing to do with, yet they were advertising it as theirs on their BIO all through this lawsuit. Some questions, why did the Booking Agent continue to book this band as Autograph and use that Bio to do so? The venues thought they were getting the 80s band Autograph, but they got a group of hired guys involved in an infringement lawsuit. As this new band, Autograph Beyond, why are they not booked under the Tribute Band roster? Any predictions on more lawsuits here? Since you just predicted this "Beyond" band as "not working out" well, I think you'll be right again! Great work Jason. Great interview Steve Lynch!
Steve is definitely this nice and genuine in real life. He can put on a hell of a rock show, but this is no show! lol! Glad he can put this in the past, I felt like he needed to fight this, but he nor Randy’s widow deserved to go through this. If the tables were turned he would not have behaved like that. He would have let Autograph go in to history with honor and grace.
i saw autograph open for vh.. 1984 detroit mich. cobo hall 2nd night sat . so awsome fri. night show sold out in 15 min. i stayed in line 30. min... 2nd show announced ,sat. night show sold out in 90 min.....autograph did a great show , I became fan of them right away.... thx steve
Steve's playing made an impression on my own playing.
The Loud and Clear album is played often in my car.
Great interview. Steve Lynch is obviously a knowledgeable guy. In saying that I think there needs to be two Steves in the band before it reforms again.
Hi Jason, i dont really know Autograph the band but i will say i totally agree with Steve and yourself, good on him for having enough of that crap.
All the best from Scotland. Paul
First concert, Motley Crue and Autograph. Hampton Collesium, Virginia. Dec 11, 1985. 16 years old. Life really starting. 😊
What Class Acts You Both Are!
Autograph witout Plunkett's voice isn't Autograph, no matter who owns the the name. It was his distinct voice that made the difference in their sound.
Very fascinating
I visited with Steve near his home in April. Our conversations are not music related, sort of. We had lunch at an undisclosed place and during lunch and older guy at the bar and his friends started pointing our way, and I knew it wasn't me. The guy comes over and asks if Steve is in a band from the 80s? Then the smiles came from him as a teenager and Turn up the Radio and more. Steve and I were going to spend more of the day together, but my drive back to Orlando at 5pm took me 4 hours as it was, but we had been chatting since 2009 when we met and many times in between then we saw each other was plenty. I'm proud to know Steve, he's not like other rock stars, and I know a few who still have that chip on their shoulders and never let you in, but Steve is cut from a different cloth than that. We're friends and will remain that, and what we do and talk about is between us and I appreciate our time together. See you again Steve, you know when.
Nice interview, @jasongreen
Great conversation Jason. Thx
Seen the original band in a small club Toledo called kips south. Wild show really good! DAMIENS home club.
I always thought Steve was an extremely underrated guitar player. I memorized and learned his solo from the "That's The Stuff" album and I would play that for people who didn't know anything about Autograph except for "Turn UP the Radio." Folks thought I was a monster on guitar....although I wasn't even close. Would love the 2 Steves to do something new.
At the Cannery, in Vegas a few years ago I got my Autograph cassette signed, finally. But, only Two signatures. ❤
It's not the same for sure. But unfortunately nobody lives forever. I am all for a Tribute band carrying on the Legacy...as long as they carry it on with RESPECT,..and they must perform and sound as close to the original band. We all love Autograph... so, TURN UP THE RADIO. !!
Hope Can't Hide from the Beast Inside from the Fright Night soundtrack makes it onto one of the album reissues too.
The Bobby Blotzer Autograph Beyond RATT Xperience
Right after “Bobby Blotzer’s Morbid Angel Experience” finishes their South American Tour
Thanks Jason!
Great interview Jason! He is totally in the right when it comes to the band's name! Steve is such a cool dude with no rockstar attitude. He is also one of those musicians who will actually respond to you on social media!
It can work both ways. HUGE Queensryche fan here and what happened with Geoff could have crushed the band. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't?! All though Queensryche is now only 2 founding members (Eddie and Whip), they have made it "back" if you will with the emergence of Todd La Torre...Imagine trying to please the crowd your version of "Tate's" like brilliance to please the masses.. haha
Todd couldn't win for losing with a lot of Rychers but those that give him a real chance have witnessed one of the most brilliant vocalists out there at this particular time. He's got out a solo from 2023 and it is more than worthy a listen.
Geoff is off doing his thing and crush'n it his way Queensryche is out doing theirs with a new boost in there asses with Todd.
Zero founding members is a complete no-go in my book and wouldn't support it.
How can it possibly be Autograph without either Steve?
Any recent live footage ive found sounds nothing like classic Autograph.
The bassist/Drummer don’t even do that Synced up lick that is so cool during the “Turn up the radio” chorus.
Steve is one of my all time favorite guitarists. Would have loved to have seen him paired up w Warren in RATT at some point. Think that couldve been a cool pairing
He has been attending the Mark Mendoza School of Facial Madness.
Mendoza’s looks like it was drawn in with a magic marker. Along with his hairline as well.
I remember when I saw Blondes in black Car for the first time. Back then it was not on MTV but regular video show ( Video Hits)
Fantastic interview!
What About Heart? Ann and Nancy are not original members should they be allowed to tour as Heart? Just a question I had while watching
Hm, I mean they are in it since 75. And the formative years were starting when, 73? Which is normal that a few people try to see who sticks and with whom it works out. Personally, I do not think this is in any way comparable to Autograph were roughly 30 years later new band members make the whole band.
Jason Riki Rachtman is doing his last story telling show in Vegas soon (end of one foot in the gutter tour)
Wow,if Steve go out playing Autograph would be great. Lucky guys who play with him. I'm a drummer from a small little town in Canada. I'll never have the chance to play in band like that. But wow it will be cool if it happens
Good Conversation Jason 👏
Thank you
glad to hear Steve Lynch got the rights back. These bands that go out with no original members......it's just crazy to me. If the original member/s sign off on it and profit from it that's different and I'm OK with that (we all have to make money), but what was going on here sounds pretty ridiculous, so I'm very glad to see Lynch has now gotten what is rightfully his. Also kind of sad to hear Plunkett doesn't seem to want to do anything with Autograph anymore. Doesn't make sense to me really, I heard a new song by Plunkett online and it was a rock song, so I can't understand why he wouldn't just regroup with Lynch and put Autograph back together. I actually think if they had proper management they could do well in regards to playing live etc. Especially if it was Plunkett and Lynch together.
I had all 3 Autograph albums and I always thought they were vastly under-appreciated. I graduated from Musicians Institute in the early mid 90's and they had a Gold album from the Sign In Please record on one of the walls. I remember walking past it so many times and thinking how cool it was. And although I'm not a guitarist, I'd personally rather listen to "Hammerhead' over "Eruption" any day of the week. I'm not slagging "Eruption", it's great, but "Hammerhead" sounds otherworldly, as if it was brought down from space from a different planet or galaxy....or like something from a dream where you're floating above the ground. "Hammerhead" is truly an elegant piece of music.
Steve Lynch seems like a really good guy and Autograph deserved to be bigger in my view. They had the one Gold album, and that's something not to many people on Earth can say, but I just felt bad for them in a way. They never got their just due IMO. May sound like a strange thing to say, but I hope Steve Lynch is financially greatly rewarded once he gets the Autograph website and everything up and running again. He just seems like a guy who deserves it.
And like he said, maybe Plunkett will choose to return HOME (my word and view) and we'll get a proper Autograph reunion.
Good afternoon,Jason Steve, and everyone in chat
I Hope Jimi Bell starts doing guitar albums, like Satriani, Vai, etc, he is a phenominal talent.
Since he was a big part of in this lawsuit and it involved infringement with even Frontiers Records being involved, I think that ship was sunk.
Jason, you’re such a good fucking interviewer👍👍!
Jason, love your work love what you’re doing for the industry. I wish we could have someone like you here in Australia doing what you do because there needs to be more people like you here in Australia doing what you do for bands and getting out there and really pushing the issues.
It’s really sad here in Australia because Australian bands have to come over to European status to even get anywhere
It’s really sad here in Australia because Australian bands have to come over to European status to even get anywhere
And really there is so many, really good hard-core Australian bands here in Australia, but they never recognized here in Australia and that’s the saddest part
Would love you to do some Australian bands and really get some of those Australian bands recognized here in your show
Steve Riley was not an original member of L.A. Guns.
He owned 50% of the name
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen That does not change the fact that he was not an original band member.
Too bad A LOT of lies was told. Wasn't hired as hired guns, didn't file 1099, they were hired a full members, get the truth right Steve. I REALLY REALLY think Steve wants all truth to come to the publics eyes. Since your hands are better Steve, let's see you do a live video of you playing the songs from Network 23....oh wait....did you ever learn the songs from that file you have? Ahhhhhh.....nope😂😂😂
I’m not going to read every comment to see if I’m repeating something someone or other’s have said. But Beyond: released in 2022 was a really good album with To Be Together and Everything being the key tracks of the 13 track album. That’s my opinion. I really don’t see why the guy (Who chose to leave the band) wouldn’t let the other guys play on, as long as he’s included on residuals being the last founding member. Apparently Rand wrote the songs for Beyond. He wanted the other guys to continue. I don’t understand why there’s a problem. Hell Lynyrd Skynyrd has no original members left. They’re still going.
Autograph was not big? They were right there with the other famous bands from then. Sign in Please, That's the Stuff and Lound and Clear was and still great.
Steve Plunkett is about to release a new solo album. The new song sounds like Autograph. Very strange considering what Steve Lynch just said???
What do you think? Weird because Plunkett didn’t want anything to do with ownership in Autograph yet his music is basically the same as classic Autograph! Again what do you think?
AUDIO ?
I said that after I heard Randy die. The band need to change name. They are NOT Autograph.
I still love to listen theire first three albums. There were big for me I still turn up my Radio lound.
I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed regarding copyright infringements and laws. For the Sweet band with no original members in the band then they are a tribute band and they are keeping the music alive of Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn who wrote the songs how can this tribute Sweet band without Brian Connolly sing Ballroom Blitz without the beginning of Are you ready Steve, Andy, Mick alright fellas let’s go without Steve, Andy or Mick.
That sux that they aren't being inducted though. How can rap acts be indcuted to the "Rock N Roll Hall and fame and not them. That is a travesty however i am happy that Steve will get the rights to the name. Good news for fans of original glam metal bands.
It’s really sad where it starts to become a cover band it’s like skid row now 😊
Is that a filter?
😂
They had one song.
Same with quiet riot and wasp. And you praise them for keeping the legacy. I couldn’t care less for guys like alx grossi and doug blair
I would prefer Quiet Riot with Carlos, but Frankie’s widow owns the brand, when a singer is dead you have to decide if it’s worth continuing, that’s a completely different case then autograph with no original members and two guys alive.
I'm confused because I called twice to RRHOF and two different employees told me you, Regina, Autograph was NOT contacted and asked to display items there. She stated ANYONE can display music memorabilia in the museum for guests to see. Was it an honor that they allowed it? Also, confused again because you state you didn't leave the band for any reason other than your carpel tunnel but yet there's MANY videos of you with your gorgeous ex saying you left to start a new musical adventure PLUS your good bye speech states this. Steve Hun, why not just be honest to the fans. It kinda reminds me of "using someone else's music and passing it off as your own". Smfh.
Dude uses ....Just For 44Men
Unlistenable due to steve not using headphones....
lol, Hollywood face ,wow
The feedback is annoying. I'm bailing out. Sorry.
