Such a great guy... So normal, so friendly, despite his huge talent and carreer.. An example to all, especially younger people..
Steve Stevens is so UNDERRATED ... it's criminal - the stuff/styles he can play "on the fly" is amazing - just search for his guitar solos LIVE , here on TH-cam .
He's a great songwriter too .... his solo stuff, Billy Idol's material ..... Billy Idol , undoubtedly, would NEVER have lasted as long as he has without Steve's creative input & writing - THAT is a FACT !
Steve is well respected in the music industry.
Les deux se complètent très bien.
I doubt it's as widely known as it should be, but this dude is one of THE best guitarists EVER!
John - Orbiter agree
John - Orbiter that is.
MICK RONSON TOO !
I think it's cuz he didn't write on any of the songs he's well known for. Plus he's one of the unlucky musicians that was hot during the 80s synthesizer craze. That stuff didn't evolve or influence.
yep he is one of the best
Billy Idol owes this guy, his music was at it's best with Steve Stevens doing guitar
@@SuperDonnaWanna I get the impression Billy knows where the dues are owed. And Mr Stevens too.
Really, didn't know this. Was Steve his first guitarist? Who's Idol's other guitarist?
It’s called synergy! They kill it together!
@@Hundert1 yes he was
That’s one of the best wigs of all time, too.
Here we have the real thing. Absolute talent, low key ego. His guitar solos are mesmerizing.
Billy Idol and Steve were a perfect match. Great music
One of my favorite videos on you tube is rebel yell, where Stevens uses all of the moves of an air guitar rock star while playing his creative licks. I’m 70 and will never grow out of loving classic rock, hard rock and metal. Stevens is up there
with Page, EVH, SRV, & Duane Allman IMO. interesting that he retains his NYC accent despite all his years in SoCal
He seems like one helluva nice guy. I'm glad he made it.
He really is a nice guy!
Steve Stevens is very underrated
Very!!
Adam Roslon Not the slightest!Anyone that knows about rock music and guitar playing knows that Steve is great and thats all that matters.
I thought he was highly rated.
Just a bit!?
AGREE!
Steve Stevens, One of the very best and most talented guitarists, PERIOD!! Humble as hell, love this guy!!
I love hearing this guy talk. Great player and down to Earth. Nice interview!
I have say Steven Stevens can be considered "One of the Best Guitar Players in the World !"
Steve is just a class act...one of the nicest and best musicians out there. Great interview and so inspiring to watch!
What a great guy, especially for a living legend. He's super humble and he listens to questions and is engaged in the conversation the whole time, never once seeming irritated or disconnected from a topic or question
What a great down to earth interview. He let the star talk. Steve truly loves the guitar and that really comes across. Interviewer did an amazing job being quiet.
I had a cult for this guy when I was a teenager. He was nowhere to be seen, all you could do was listen to his guitar, with those incredible alien-like sound you couldn't hear anywhere else, and be amazed and terrified at the same time by his look. He was surrounded by mistery. I came close to believing he was a goddamn creature from outer space. Now thanks to TH-cam, I can listen to him talking for the first time in 30 years and realize he's a normal guy. Until he picks up his guitar, that is, and reverts to being an alien.
I'm an adult now, and still part of me keeps thinking this guy is supernatural. He should have some cult developed around him, man. Count me in.
What a humble man. Idolised Idol back in the 80's- Steve was always there of course. In the background, but not really. So great to hear him speak on his extensive career way on down the track.
I just love this guy. Could listen to him telling stories for a week.
This guy is such an underrated guitarist and so cool and down to earth
Billy and Steve, one of the great matches in rock history.
Thank you for those final words, Steve. I'm a beginning guitarist in my 50's. Your words inspire me to keep trying when there is so little time, because I love music and the guitar.🎸🎸🎸
Steve Stevens is one of the best power rock guitarists we have today. Billy Idol would not have such Great Awe Inspiring songs, without Steve on Guitar backing him up. This is just a simple fact. My Respects. RH DSD
Billy agrees with you...
I agree
awesome player and nice guy
There are thousands of great guitar players age 12.... Now ☝️Billy was unique
Neither would Steve Stevens be as famous if not for his collaboration with Billy Idol. The two are great alone but together they are phenomenal. Bromance made in heaven.
Incredible talent. Definitely in the top 5 greatest guitar players of all time.
What a likable guy. And one of the last oldschool Rock'N'Roll guitar heros.
Everyone who comments on Steve Stevens says he is underrated - which seems weird that so many people appreciate how good he is, but....... he is underrated! He comes across as a very humble down to earth guy too.
What a phenomenal guitar player. Never realized how talented he is and his range. Blown away watching him play Billy Idol Unplugged. Wow!
To me Steve Stevens has always been a silent sidekick, who does his work really well. I know all his solo projects. A hidden gem I would say, I wish him all the best.
You said it!
Steve Stevens is one of the best. Steve Stevens and Billy Idol ❤️❤️❤️
One of the most Underrated guitarists and that’s unfortunate because this guy is unbelievably amazingly talented
Mr Stevens is very articulate and a joy to hear him talk.
Steve Stevens without a doubt has made his mark on rock guitar as well as having a hand in some great songs..
Steve is one of the greatest modern Rock players.... highly underrated and yet has contributed so much to the craft. He is adventurous, unique and highly passionate about his music. There is very little guitar stuff he cannot play and make interesting - yep - we are fans ;-)
When I first heard him at the age of 3 in '84 and also later in life, Steve blows my mind away to this day!!! Best guitar solos in history ever!!! Listen to him!!!
Never heard of SS before...but this interview sold me...No ego...No attitude...Kind of guy you could spend a night at the bar with...Top bloke!...
"The love of playing guitar" - And sir, you kick ass at that! What a class act! Always a fan.
I'm not a guitar player at all but I really enjoyed hearing him talk about it. He seems like a really down to Earth guy with amazing skills! Makes me appreciate him even more after seeing him last night with Billy in Vienna! Rock on Steve!
*****
But he is lil bit underrated.
Steve never disappoints,his insights are priceless.
Steve Stevens is one of the best guitar players ever.
99.9 % of the time, haters hate because of Jealousy. Most people can only dream about having the success someone like Steve Stevens has had over the years. I don't care if his hair was like Diana Ross's. He's a awesome guitarist. He obviously likes his hair that way for him to have it................ who gives a rats ass what others think as long as you yourself like it.
I love his hair. Steve hasn't changed. That's the cool thing about him. The uncool thing is how his wife practically OWNS him. She's sickening.
Nobody that matters is sayin anything about it in LA.
its a wig
All I read in this thread is very complimentary, no haters.
@@roxannemoser Practically *everybody's* wife owns them. It's just more obvious with some couples than with others. The whole thing is set up to make the man serve the woman.
Watching him and Billy Idol perform on stage together is the definition of Bromance, what a guy
Steve Stevens is one of my favourite rock guitarists. Billy Idol's 'Rebel Yell' is my favourite 80's album Steve played on. Made travelling a little easier.
Steve is a very genuine and generous guy. He has taken the time to talk about his music journey on many occasions. He’s happy to share his knowledge and tips. Thank you very much Steve.
He's up there with Michael Schenker and George Lynch on the list of most innovative and underrated guitarists. I never thought about Billy Idol's music thoroughly, but it's indeed quite a feat to take such basic music like Punk and transforming it into catchy and powerful rock riffs. Working with the most simple of things is the hardest part. Cheers from Brasil
You know he is a real musician when he inadvertently fiddles with the Guitar contols. Love him and Idol. So underrated.
What a job. What a nice normal man.
I really Love Steve Stevens, he is such a inspiration and such a cool guy, uber talented Guitarist and Musician.
Watching this video as just saw a TH-cam video posted 2 weeks ago from WXPN- Billy Idol -free at noon concert. It’s an acoustic presentation and both Steve and Billie are phenomenal! They absolutely killed it! Steve is an excellent musician! Rock on Steve!
Such an informative and intelligent guy, please write a book?
After watching all the guitar players for the fifty years this guy is one of the best and is just a cool human being. OUTSTANDING MASTER
This guy is so underrated, such a great guitarist and very down to earth
Genuine musician/guitarist!
What a humble and fantastic interview with one of the best gitarist ever!!! Love his music!!!!
Cant get more genuine than Steve Stevens ! What a humble human being and a killer muso at the same time !
Always one of my faves!!! Genius on sonic guitar tone!!!
Steve's a legend, he's always great live and on record..not many can rock quite like he can.
Along with Earl Slick, one of the most underated players ever.....Saw Steve play in Vince Neil's band while supporting Van Halen back in the 90's, he smokes !
Steve is an unbelievably generous man. He’s done tons of interviews and videos where he shares his knowledge and his love of playing music. He always comes from a place that is open and cordial, and that’s one of many reasons that I respect him. After watching this, all I want to do is go and grab my guitar and have some fun.
His work on Vince Neil's 'Exposed' album was mind-blowing! Thanks for the riffs and unworldly solos Steve!
It’s 2020, what a nice guy, not flash or up himself.
Steve is one of the BEST in the WORLD! ❤️👑 🎸
S.S. is a seriously badass guitar player not many people realize!
Steve is a fantastic guitarist, hugely underrated!! This man is brilliant, an absolute master. Steve is so humble about his Grammy award giving kudos to the melody and not his incredible guitar licks, what a nice guy.
I would love to have the chance to spend a day with this guy. What an amazing and talented guy....
Im not a music guy whatsoever but I could listen to steve talk for hours!
I could listen to him tell his story for hours. I was and always will be a Steve Stevens fan and this interview only reinforces that - monster musician and down to earth guy...what an innovator. Thanks so much Steve for all of it.
what a cool guy with an inspiring attitude toward music and life.
i'm instantly a steve stevens fan. love eyes without a face.
A totally and utterly fantastic interview, or should I say, lecture, 'cause he's got a lot of knowledge.
I’ve not heard Steve talking before. His love of the music comes through and the fact that he’s very appreciative of other musicians. He’s a good sort eh?
Passion is everything! He's such a talented guy and loves doing it. Not everyone finds their groove in life, and he seems like a real down to earth smart guy. Steve I've seen you live a few times in Reno and you always blew me away!! Great interview man!
The most abstract artistic guitar player. Real Art.
How many are here after discovering Steve Stevens is the man behind the amazing Guitar on Michael Jackson' song Dirty Diana.???
Wow, you'd never know he had such a story and how cool her actually is. Great story and great personality.
Stevie Salas has an amazing story too, basically the guy went from being homeless to playing stadiums with Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger on a 12 months interval
A down to earth guy with out of this world talent.
Cant wait to see you on The Sopranoes.
What a fantastic guy & guitarist?
He comes across & interviews so well.
A really COOL guy
This is a really good interview ,informative & interesting.
Wow, he is simply adorable.
I always loved Steve for his musicianship within a "punk" type context (ok, Billy Idol's solo stuff isn't quite punk in comparison to GenX). Finding out years later that he loved 70s prog was just the icing on the cake. One of my favorite all time musicians.
It's really great to hear someone talk about what they truly love to do, and obviously Stevens not only loves to play, but he loves it so much that he likes sharing his pleasure with the rest of us. Making the interview even better is the fact that if you took away the rock trappings (hair, nails, lip ring, etc.) he'd be just a normal New York guy -- open, friendly, and average (except for his otherworldly musical skills).
I met him at the meet & greet at The Capitol Theater show on 9.22.21 for a NY minute cause they gave us the covid rush...but in that minute Steve came across as such a nice friendly guy. I'm from Queens, he grew up in Queens, he is still that guy from the neighborhood who loves playing the guitar. Billy, on the other hand, seemed a bit uptight & not very friendly. Oh well.
@@JTRocks4Ever How odd. Idol has always had a great reputation with his fans, friendly and down to earth.
Steve Stevens seems like such a cool cat. And is a true artist.
Steve, You were Predestined to Rock The World.
One of the top 5-guitarist on the planet!
The words great talent which is synonymous with the name Steve Stevens has and always be a true representation of the love of playing guitar above all else. The feelings you get and the challenge it imposes on the player in the pursuit of mastery and expression are only known by those who have embarked on the journey of guitar playing. Steve shows genuinely how excited about playing even if he would never achieve fame. Playing is done out of pure love and enjoyment first and foremost, everything else is a bonus, that's true passion. Rock on Steve, man you are a real inspiration.
What an amazing interview. Steve Stevens is super humble and massively cool.
He's very humble, Extremely talented! Love him!
Great reading all the positive comments, couldn't agree more. This guy is an unbelievable guitar player and a seriously nice human being, what a treat for the world of music. It's great that amongst serious guitar fans he is right up there with the best, easily up there with Federer, Djokovic or Nadal. :) He's an incredible man, just watching him talk you can see the humility and grace. * * * * *
Super cool dude. It's hard to wrap my head about someone that has achieved this level of mastery and remained this down to earth and pragmatic.
When i hear the words "guitar player" i think of Steve Stevens and Vivian Campbell
Iconic guitarist one of my all time favorite players.
for me he is one of the finest guitar players ever. he has a history too, even the cover sleeve of atomic playboys was designed and created by the awesome H.R.GIGER
Awesome guitarist and very honest, accessible and humble.
Excellent interview.
Sincere and honest.
Spot on Steve.
One of the best guitarist interviews I've ever heard.
Bozzio Levin Stevens "Situation Dangerous" is a stunningly good album. Check it out. From this album I learned what a diverse player Stevens is-from balls to the wall to falling in love music, everything in between. He is colossally talented.
how could you not love steve stevens so melow and down to earth ,just a class act, and and one of a handfull great guitar players,without a doubt!!!
What a top top guy. wish this interview had lasted longer. the wonders of you tube never disappoint !!!
Steve couldn’t go any longer without slipping out for a bump 😂
I have been playing for 45 years, JamPlay is phenomenal, if you are self motivated, internet minded and willing to apply yourself, they offer professional instructors, including recorded and live lessons, tablature, available 24 hours per day and guest instructors like Steve. Whoever has said most underrated, one of the best, you are all right on and think about the Billy Idol riffs, along the line of the great Keith Richards and Jimmy Page. JamPlay gives us a chance to learn from the best, and this is not solicited.
Just watched steve play with Billy in Tulsa tonight. Steve absolutely lays it down! Such an amazing guitarist!
He is amazing! He's my fav guitar player ever. FANTASTIC interview and lots of insight to a all that he has done.
So, Steve knows and appreciate Opeth's work, what a nice thing to read, he's one of my all time favorite guitar players along with Mikael Akerfeldt \m/
We love you Steve!! RRHOF better recognize
Damn, I love this man. Total Human Being and a DAMN FINE guitar player, too!
Highly intelligent! Love the music Stevens.
