Sheens Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Had one of his CD's in the 90's, even though not my cuppa T. But he's a legend, and with the ACDC guys the coolest rockstar I know. Watch all his interviews, what a great down to earth guy. Edited July 24, 2023 by Sheens 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I've seen him if a few cool videos. Like one where he joins two celloists in a Guitar Center for a jam and another where he's the guest "stunt guitarist" for a new group (which I believe was posted here originally). When I have some time I'll see if I can find both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both of them and much prefer these over his more famous stuff. Real Illusions:Reflections is the first and The Story Of Light is the second. Both are in my opinion his best work. (Though I haven't listened to his album he just released not long ago, Inviolate .) He really composes on these albums more than shred. His use of melody is fantastic. Really a gifted musician.

But Steve comes in and gives an outstanding performance. He doesn't try to out-do them, show off, or anything like that. He stays true to the song and gives it new life. Takes it in a direction I wouldn't have thought it would go!! I have seen Steve play a small club here in Baton Rouge. When he takes the stage, he's on fire! And his showmanship is... well... lets just say he owns the stage. He makes what he is playing look effortless!

I find him to be one of the most down to earth, not full of himself guy in interviews. In between songs when I saw him you could see that he was just laid back, enjoying himself immensely. And the audience picks up on this. My wife was with me and she doesn't like all that shred stuff at all. I didn't tell her what kind of music he played, just that she would enjoy the show. He impressed her so much she may be a bigger fan of him than I am!! Of course when I got there, I saw a bunch of guitar players I know. We all wanted to sell our equipment after the show!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I'm about half-way through. Pretty good and reminding me how little I remember of the Zappa songs! I still remember watching him in one of the G3's and, as good as he is, he still bows and gives props to Satriana who was his guitar teacher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
