The audiobook is a gift of sound. Its great to hear his voice and the voice of others in his book. I am a new fan and the more I hear and see, the more of a fan I become. The honesty and humour is fresh. The book feels like a genuine conversation. heartwarming and super informative.
How can you not love Steve? I loved this - he cracks me up. He’s such a sensitive guy and really cares about people. I got the audio and paperback of his book / audio best as he is reading it. On my bucket list to meet. Steve, if you see this, thank you for so many years of beautiful music and for just bring you. The world needs more people like you. ❤️
"In response to Steve's "you're probably not watching because you're working." Many of us here are like me, watching this after working all day, or...GASP tendonitis in both wrists from over working, and video time is cool down time. :)
Met Steve after a Toto concert in San Diego where he signed my guitar. There were a number of signatures on the axe already and when asked, he looked at the guitar and asked "Who else you have on here"? when I fired off some of the signers, he answered "And you want me to sign"? "Hell Yes"! I said.
Steve Lukather is an amazing human being, who thankfully returned a short email that I had sent him when I was going through a very difficult time/divorce a few years ago..and he spoke to me from his heart because he could relate as a human being and cared. I love you as a musician and a person and can understand how a person could be hardened by the stupidity some people spew online, especially what you were speaking of during this interview. Thank you for taking the time to speak to me from your experience and share to another. Fan and friend for life!
Luke is a awesome guy. I love how he didn't let fame go to his head like some celebrities did and blow it all on drugs and getting into legal trouble because of it. He has always remained a very humble and grateful man. He isn't afraid to admit that he messed up and never ever has any ill words or feelings towards both of his exes or of anyone that has done him wrong.
Luke’s kids are so fortunate to have such an amazing dad,music totally aside..such a warm ,humorous,loving,humble man - a man that could be totally the opposite with the level of fame and talent he has…god bless the Lukather family 🙏🙏
I could honestly sit and listen to Luke talk all day. This guy is just a born entertainer - the most fascinating life, and always from his beautiful heart and soul. Can't wait to have my own copy of this - volume 1 of 6! :) And if Peter Gabriel's people are reading this - Steve Lukather wants to work with you!
Steve Lukather’s a great human being as well as a great musician, has a very interesting life and is generous sharing his story. I love the guy, and the book.
Luke, you are a one of a kind. One of the greatest guitarist ever..an awesome singer (that never gets credit) and a great interview. Im gonna buy this book. Toto is part of the soundtrack to my life. Look forward to the stories.
Wow! Recently had the opportunity to meet him and he was super nice, humble and really funny. Amazing career. That Les Paul dad story was great! His dad made a great investment!!!! This will be a great read! Can't wait!
Wow, what a down to earth guy...not one bad bone in his body. He is a living legend not showing it one second. A great talent and a great soul. Love Luke and Toto❤
Sorry to hear about the bus accident and the injuries that came from it........We are all grateful you choose to endure the pain and keep playing instead of the surgeries that could have robbed you of your abilities. Tough and painful call to make for the love of playing.
If anyone hates Steve's book and hates Steve as a musician and a human being needs to have their head examined. He has to be the most humble and grateful person ever. Lukather is not afraid to admit his faults but doesn't dwell in them as most rock musicians or any musician for that matter does. Like he said he didn't want this book to be one where people's feelings were going to get hurt and things said that should of been said. To me somethings are better left unsaid or unspoken. I finally purchased the audiobook on Audibles and loved his ability to tell his story and be himself. I definitely recommend anyone that hasn't purchased either the hard copy or audio version of his book, go get it. I can't wait for book 2. It should be called Gospel According to Luke: The Session Years
Just ordered the book fromn Amazon (after dodging their "sign up to Prime" crap). Over the past 30 years, your guitar has been a constant in the "good stuff". Thank you. Oh, and keep up the fart/poo jokes, the world needs them more than ever :O)
I just finished reading Luke’s book & thoroughly enjoyed it, it’s funny I knew of Toto’s great music, but didn’t really didn’t know about Steve until I saw them with YES in the Atlanta area. I’ve always been enamored with YES and I still am but I’ve been watching many of Luke’s interview & like his book he’s brilliantly funny & talented & humble. GOD BLESS You, Your Family & Friends Luke, your a great one!!!
He really is a modern day Sammy Davis Jr. Sammy was outspoken and controversial while at the same time the coolest dude ever. It’s no wonder he is such an icon to Luke.
Steve is the man! So humble and talented with such an amazing career. His attitude toward Twitter and social media is so true and refreshing to hear! Trolls and snarky jerks ruin it for everyone. It's one thing to have constructive criticism. But to just be a jerk? C'mon!
@36:30 thru 37:05 Luke forgets to sign the book. I wish i would have gotten that one. LOL. I'm sure they checked them all. Great Video. Yeah check that out he just got caught up in the question. :) LOL he does it again @44:45 to 44:55.
If i could just play 1% as good as Steve I would be amazed. Lol.. Absolutely one of my top favorite guitarist’s and really enjoy his interviews. Def will get this book !
The most underrated band of all time. One of the best guitar players of a generation. Versatility, feel, and skill. Thank you Luke for all the memories....from a NH., Van Nuys native. You are a humble and amazing person too. God Bless.
5-years later I am a little saddened to say that dear Steve does not sound nearly so upbeat in interviews recorded in the last couple of months. His new solo album is fantastic, so that’s good. But he definitely seems to have a bounce in his step in this video that is now absent. He has alluded cautiously to some things that have darkened his life a little lately, and I’m genuinely really concerned for him. I think he’s a wonderful human being and I wish him every single continuing success in life that can possibly be wished upon another. ✊❤️✌️
I agree! I wonder if his breakup with Amber has anything to do with it. He seemed so happy and upbeat. He mentioned her in every interview he did during lockdown. He even wrote a song about her and featured her in the music video. I pray that love finds him again!
Soy de panama y me encanta luke su personalidad es gracioso claro como musico espectacular! Y yo QUIERO leer su libro! En verdad amo a este hombre! Ojalá algun dia,pueda,conocerlo!! I love him
I ordered from here, ended up getting my book yesterday Oct. 21, my book has a pasted label with signature, not what I wanted at all. I wanted one of these first signings. Hope the book is good.
HI my name is Stephen and I really enjoyed this interview. I'm really amazed at how well Steve Lukather plays. He is truely one of a kind. It's cool that he is also a family man. How would I go about obtaining an aotographed 8x10. Thank you Sir
Fucking Hahahahahaha!!!!"Sphincter tightening" Hahahahahaha!!! Leave it to a guitar player! Its not a white knuckle moment! Or biting your lip! Hahahaha!! What a fucking funny dude! Got to get that book!
Guitar legend. He said he was born at Cedars Sanai. Not totally true, cause i was born at Cedars of Lebanon (the old location that's now a Scientology building), so Steve must have been born there too - as the Cedars Sanai didnt move to its current location til 1976
hard to get past the old man rocker hair that simply looks ridiculous...that said, good book...enjoyed it...the North Hollywood area of So Cal in the 70s was an INSANE pool of talent...kratom for pain...DEA is trying to ban this botanical, but it is a natural cure!
The audiobook is a gift of sound. Its great to hear his voice and the voice of others in his book. I am a new fan and the more I hear and see, the more of a fan I become. The honesty and humour is fresh. The book feels like a genuine conversation. heartwarming and super informative.
Love this guy, feet on the ground and a smart cookie. Toto is the most underrated band .
How can you not love Steve? I loved this - he cracks me up. He’s such a sensitive guy and really cares about people. I got the audio and paperback of his book / audio best as he is reading it.

Pam I’m with you… I wish/ hope I could meet him… such an awesome man and musician!❤
Such a perfect interviewer, so kindhearted!
Especially how he say's "no one here is like that," in response to Steve Lukather about the internet trolls. 🤣
"In response to Steve's "you're probably not watching because you're working." Many of us here are like me, watching this after working all day, or...GASP tendonitis in both wrists from over working, and video time is cool down time. :)

Barry Baker I met him a year ago and he is such a cool guy and a staggering musician.

One of the most humble, kind dudes you could ever meet. Inspiring musician and just a lovely human being. I wish him the best.
Luke is extremely intelligent and so so talented top of the guitarists but humble and kind. Wow. We are blessed.
Steve Lukather’s a great human being as well as a great musician, has a very interesting life and is generous sharing his story. I love the guy, and the book.
Got the Audible version. MAN I LOVED IT!!!!! How cool is this guy and down to earth as anyone. Awesome.
Luke, you are a one of a kind. One of the greatest guitarist ever..an awesome singer (that never gets credit) and a great interview. Im gonna buy this book. Toto is part of the soundtrack to my life. Look forward to the stories.
I have a lotta respect for Steve's talents, and I look forward to reading the story of his journey so far.
Even better person than musician. I love him dearly.
Wow! Recently had the opportunity to meet him and he was super nice, humble and really funny. Amazing career. That Les Paul dad story was great! His dad made a great investment!!!! This will be a great read! Can't wait!
Wow, what a down to earth guy...not one bad bone in his body. He is a living legend not showing it one second. A great talent and a great soul. Love Luke and Toto❤
Love you Steve. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with the world.
Sorry to hear about the bus accident and the injuries that came from it........We are all grateful you choose to endure the pain and keep playing instead of the surgeries that could have robbed you of your abilities. Tough and painful call to make for the love of playing.
"Luke" is a great musician as well as his fellow players in "Toto." Good luck with the book, Steve.
That would be so legendary
LOVED the book Luke! I purchased both the signed book and the audio book on Audible... AND loved your narration of it!
Very COOL Steve Lukather!
If anyone hates Steve's book and hates Steve as a musician and a human being needs to have their head examined. He has to be the most humble and grateful person ever.

Gospel According to Luke: The Session Years
Shalom ! I would love to see Steve Lukather playing a gospel song to praise our Jesus.
I know that Jesus loves you, Steve and your friends from Toto.
I love Lukather and have followed his music career for many years , I will buy this book !
One of my favorite musicians. Luke seems like a great guy.
One of life's great guys and talent. So glad he has recovered from his accident.
The more I listen to Steve, the more I just love the guy.. Commenting ftom my son's TH-cam channel.
Toto has ALWAYS been my favorite band. I had to buy this book and it is a great read!! Could not put it down.
Love Luke!! The best show I ever saw in 40 years was Toto in 1983 and I've seen a lot of shows.
Luke -The Session Years. I'll take it!
Meet him once - very humble an nice guy - the sign of the real greats.
Just ordered the book fromn Amazon (after dodging their "sign up to Prime" crap). Over the past 30 years, your guitar has been a constant in the "good stuff". Thank you. Oh, and keep up the fart/poo jokes, the world needs them more than ever :O)
I just want to hang with him, he seems so real and is f'ning hilarious!
robertcreo -I want to hang with him too! He seems so fun!☺️
Great read. I laughed and i cried. Your're one in a million.
I just finished reading Luke’s book & thoroughly enjoyed it, it’s funny I knew of Toto’s great music, but didn’t really didn’t know about Steve until I saw them with YES in the Atlanta area.

GOD BLESS You, Your Family & Friends Luke, your a great one!!!
Just finished the book and got tickets for meet and greet in Sydney. Can't wait to tell Luke that Hold The Line was my first non Beatles 45 at age 9.
He really is a modern day Sammy Davis Jr. Sammy was outspoken and controversial while at the same time the coolest dude ever. It’s no wonder he is such an icon to Luke.
Steve is my favourite guitarist ever!
Steve is the man! So humble and talented with such an amazing career. His attitude toward Twitter and social media is so true and refreshing to hear! Trolls and snarky jerks ruin it for everyone. It's one thing to have constructive criticism. But to just be a jerk? C'mon!

Great interviewer. Perfect match for Luke's humor and goofiness.
If i could just play 1% as good as Steve I would be amazed. Lol.. Absolutely one of my top favorite guitarist’s and really enjoy his interviews. Def will get this book !

Tibor Danyi got mine on back order too...good things come to those who wait!!
Just ordered my copy of your book. Looking forward to reading it.
Luke had the interviewer in stitches 😃😃😃
I just love this guitar master Luke... It would be great to learn more about him through this book.
5-years later I am a little saddened to say that dear Steve does not sound nearly so upbeat in interviews recorded in the last couple of months.

CBD oil can be great for pain. I have MS and I sometimes use it when I have cramps. I am happy Luke can get use out of it.

Great book halfway through it
Just ordered the book ✌️❤️
Very good interview!
Great interview!
Just got. the Book in Germany, Great !!!!

Haha the way it ends.. Luke sliding off screen. 😂😂
Such a great book......such an iconic and gifted musician. Luke ....you fucking RULE.
Great sound!
I'm hyped about the book can't wait for my copy, I've always loved Toto they're like my therapy after listening to Slayer lol.
I ordered from here, ended up getting my book yesterday Oct. 21, my book has a pasted label with signature, not what I wanted at all. I wanted one of these first signings. Hope the book is good.
Me too, disappointed with the peel n stick label 😔 👎
I love this book. Read it in two days. Guess gonna take awhile for 2nd book. I may read this book again. :)
Lol look at the mischievous glint in his eye. He must be such an incredible hang.
"I want it now!" Steve is hilarious!
Luke.. Is your preference stainless steel frets? Also, have you switched to the Bogner Helios amp? If so, why? Love ya brother!
HI my name is Stephen and I really enjoyed this interview. I'm really amazed at how well Steve Lukather plays. He is truely one of a kind. It's cool that he is also a family man. How would I go about obtaining an aotographed 8x10. Thank you Sir
Why would anyone hate on Luke? Seriously??
I just love him to death. Loved the book so much.
I saw Toto in 2016 on their reunion tour. Where can I get this book?
You have the middle name "Lee" - My father, my daughter, and I all have that as a middle name as well!
My autographed copy (Finally!) arrived today (OCT/22).
p.s. Love the baby photo!
Fucking Hahahahahaha!!!!"Sphincter tightening" Hahahahahaha!!! Leave it to a guitar player! Its not a white knuckle moment! Or biting your lip! Hahahaha!! What a fucking funny dude! Got to get that book!
Will there be a German version too?
My Mom's middle name was Lee. She passed away in 1994 due to leukemia.
steve keeps sliding over
I hope you do an Audio version of your book with YOU doing it. I can't read. Its the strangest thing. I can sort of write. If I try to read I puke.
It is him doing it.
The publisher's like "but tell me again how I get to tend them rabbits".
I bought-Cool!
I know you probably don't but do you have any signed copies left?
los lobotomies was one of my favorite bands. do they still make appearances?
They just released an album Mike (without Luke). This link is from their page: It's here!!! itunes.apple.com/us/album/lobotomys-3-0/1441364706
@@KingdomofLuke1 without luke?? i was gonna complain but they got some fine pinch hitters. it has to be good.
i want this book but , not translated in french ! i live in france ! shit !
Guitar legend. He said he was born at Cedars Sanai. Not totally true, cause i was born at Cedars of Lebanon (the old location that's now a Scientology building), so Steve must have been born there too - as the Cedars Sanai didnt move to its current location til 1976
I have it I have it i have it!!!!!!
**FROM JEFF TOTO ALL ENCOMPASSING** "The Gospel According to Luke" *CATER*
Luke looks like Gregg Rolie.
60% lol nice trade!
Why is it the higher you go you lose signal. Are you not closer to the satellites? Hmm
Luke...if I was a smartass my mom would take a belt and chase me around the house....nobody died 🤣.
*WHY WASNT I THERE??? Because the Real fans never get there.... *CATER*
I love him like crazy but that Signature is weird :-D
I laughed at how he signs his name. He just goes at it
love Luke but dude you gotta fix that hair
Alan Unseld lol 😆 it’s not bad, but I think it would be great if he’d trim it ... 😀
I see nothing that needs to be fixed
its a joke geez
hard to get past the old man rocker hair that simply looks ridiculous...that said, good book...enjoyed it...the North Hollywood area of So Cal in the 70s was an INSANE pool of talent...kratom for pain...DEA is trying to ban this botanical, but it is a natural cure!
TURN THE DAMNED SOUND UP. WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!
Leepshin You should demand your money back.
sound check failure.....duh
