Steve is the real deal, and one of the greatest musicians of all time... not to mention, a great soul!

[@johnwalker3620]

Steve is a amazing guitarist, probably of the top five ever. I'm 68 and been a fan since the 70s. I hope you continue with your music. All the best my friend!

[@rhondawilkins_]

Steve Lukather ...dude you crack me up!I'm 55 years old and have followed you and TOTO since 1977!So grateful you still do things in music OLD SCHOOL!!!

[@teresaclark1508]

Never thought Luke would bring me to tears during an interview. Love you, Man, and so does God.

[@davidjamespiano]

Old School .... practicing 10 hrs a day .... 👍🏻👍🏻 These guys are the real deal, i’ve grown to really appreciate their musicianship especially their live recordings and shows. Great stuff!!

[@toddlentner1708]

Luke knows his craft so well. One of the greats of our time. I like listening to his interviews because he’s honest. Gotta luv the guy.

[@douglaszolton8985]

Steve , I am still learning . And at 71 years old, that is beautiful. One thing I've learned from living a guitar life is ,practice and study out of your comfort zone.I discovered how much more I had to learn. And also , when my wife needs my attention,I give it to her. We have been married for 48 + years.You are a good example of how to survive as a rock guitarist. Not perfect,but real. Take care of your family and yourself.

[@jimmysiglos]

Steve you are so real and a humble human being and I admire you as a person and a guitar legend your beautiful voice is a big plus to your career!..

[@tattlerman8953]

I do remain those old school ToTo-long playing records... Luke is the one who made me face the real music. Tnx mate

[@sydneydreams]

Luke, you are such a warm, honest, loving human. I am loving hearing about your spiritual journey, when you feel safe you'll have to visit Sedona. You'd dig the spiritual community here.

[@ReverendNaveed]

Funniest and the most talented guy! Reading his book currently, totally enjoying it!

[@alicesings1971]

What a beautiful human. He gets it. Luke is so honest. I can feel his spirituality. His new album is great 👍 Keep it up Luke 🙏💜🎵

[@alicesings1971]

Beware of a Luke troll asking people who comment to DM them etc. yeez can’t even comment without trolls 👎

[@Jedizen07]

I just picked up the newest disc from Luke. It's a grand album! Please pick it up, you won't disappointed. Be well everyone!

[@ChromaticHarp]

Luke is my idol. I absolutely love him, he’s such a real person. What a great musician.

[@tomdecuca3627]

It is so good to hear he still records the old school way. There is a distinct difference in the way things sound. "The old guy on the hill"!! Reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode "the Old Man in the Cave"! Love listening to Steve.

[@modspell]

Jeff was one of my influences back from the Toto debut album. I can only imagine Luke’s devastation to lose not only the band’s original member, but a cherished friend. And the Mike dies. That will shape your soul. I miss them terribly as well. Thanks for the raw honesty Luke, it’s great to feel your heart.

[@RusticSpirit]

Priceless interview...Guitar GOD!

[@christophervolas7523]

great hearing from you Steve youve been such an inspiration to me.

[@tlc8865]

A monster of a guitarist!! And a great guy too!!

[@63292]

Loved the 70s vibe in the work. Real and fun, like you! Thanks for sharing music like that just when our lonely, isolated souls needed it.🤩

[@johnniepage3844]

This dude is so talented!! I wish that I had just a small piece of his talent! And for his childhood dream to come true!!!! How awesome is that???

[@johnniepage3844]

That’s what I love the most about Steve,,,at around 37:50 he just tells like it is!!!!

[@wilburrrrr742]

This guy is a great man even without his guitar Just a good man.

[@sammyvh11]

Love you Steve....hang in there.

[@johnniepage3844]

Congrats to Steve on living sober!!! It’s not so bad!! Lol

[@SwampEye1]

Luke .. Never seen you so communicative as in this Video ...

[@andrevanbussum]

I think Steve Lukather is a wonderful person and, for me, the best guitarist ever. I follow and listen to him and Toto for decades. Keep healthy and I hope we can enjoy your person and music for years to come!

[@stevschlack3608]

The Best!

[@jaimel2037]

Love Luke’s awesome self deprecating humour..a mega star without the asshole ego ...refreshing 👍

[@Lolajlgtoto]

Steve my Love🎼🎵🎶🎤🎸💜💜💜😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@RonTimmonsM1]

Luke makes the interview great. I miss an actual band that records like he says. I lived it back in the day. Now it is easy to make songs. However, getting great musician's to record and having great lyrics and the structure is a great starting point. Doing it remotely is a different environment and not as fun or tight with room to breathe but at same time it's still making music with real musicians.

[@AdolfoTorresMIJO]

Lukather is the greatest!! He just demoted Ringo from “AA” to simply “A” without skipping a beat!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@kayokk-]

Always a pleasure hearing from Steve. And amazing guy and a good friend to have. The interviewer is so amateur at his job that he doesn’t know when to jump in, and when not to, he rarely lets the story completely play out, but instead he’s mangled in his own mental thoughts rather than listen to what’s being spoken and actually going on. 😢 Such good opportunities missed to do it in a more refined way.

[@edjohnson105]

Glad to see Luke taking credit for quitting drinking instead of giving credit to a rehab group or higher power. I had a similar experience with the morning vodka blues. It's hard to quit, and nobody can do it for you. If you manage to stop, give yourself some credit.

[@Charlotte-mg7fm]

WOW !!! Steve Lukather You're Such A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING .

[@Pledgeman]

Steve and “Magic” are synonymous words. If you need a gig please come north!

[@TheEs150]

this is awesome i love this guy

[@sacredsinger]

when this guy sings...man! nothing over complicated just right down to the soul. i covered his song on my channel but it's just not the same :)

[@dagoat1]

The part about Weezer being stuck to play Africa for the rest of their career is hilarious. The joke is on them. Lol.

[@perrymaizon]

Great stuff

[@n.a.mcintosh4697]

Steve is the epitome of humility..... with all that he has accomplished, I rarely hear him bring up his bronze medals from the Special Olympics.

[@jamespendleton9879]

You can totally tell Covid was making this guy insane in the moment and rightfully so. Love this guy.

[@dellcoats2447]

It must be frustrating for him not playing live my hope is to see them in kc

[@zemezee8883]

ha ha ha the Bio Steve invoking pictures of all kinds ! David come on to the house and grab a bag of fresh..............this men is a great human !

[@waynemagin2554]

When dos the DVD of Toto that Steve spoke of come out? Great Job.

[@lilianacespedes2363]

I admire you Lukather

[@donaldbergmann5405]

As the late , great George Harrison said“All things must pass” .....and so will this evil virus... Thank you Steve for being Steve...

[@deewolfe2937]

Steve , glad to see you’re doing well! You’re still hot even if you’re in your pajamas 😍I Can’t wait until you get back on the road. ❤️

[@xrbutler4999]

Love u Luke

[@margotcoljee8594]

Hang in there Luke , there will be an end to this madness called Covid. I love you !

[@tomekgnu]

Praised be Jesus Christ, people! What a joy for Him to find another strayed sheep.

[@43loudman]

totally cool dude, luke is the best,.................

[@tonyinbrazil1]

"They don't have the balls for it." 100% correct. It's really sad what's happened... musically, societally, and spiritually (i.e. enthusiastically). To put it eloquently,... most shit fuckin' sucks these days.

[@deetgeluid]

The Netherlands love Like, and Luke loves theNetherlands.

[@NickNicometi]

Luke! 🤘😡🎸

[@chewie2299]

I'm not sure i can ever forgive myself but im so sorry to those love unluke GOD BLESS!!!!!!!-#24..2 KOBE

[@frans_YouTube]

Een beetje Louis van Gaal engels. Hehehehe

[@LucasFigueiredoBR]

Anybody else think the interviewer kind of looks like Beethoven?

[@clemclemson9259]

lol ok

[@kenshirk6993]

Steve needs pair of rubber gloves.

[@rayb3000]

Message to Steve: 37:48 "I'm in my 50's but on behalf of all the 'fn punkass kids who dont have the chops for that', your comment was extremely disappointing and arrogant given so many young people look up to you. True, you are extremely talented but studio tools are available to everyone nowadays and why not make use of them rather than going to a studio, we've also just been through a pandemic and times have changed and people do good work at home. There are very talented young people out there and its not true that everyone can write a song, not a good song anyway. It takes years of passion and hard work. I dont appreciate arrogance from you or anyone and you're very lucky to have gone through trying times in the studio where u just had to play 'the fn thing'. Not everyone is as fortunate as you Steve/Luke or whatever your name is. After listening to this, you've come down from a very high place in my list of heroes, absolutely disgusting." Don't want his book anymore.

[@carolynmaynard3694]

Back when you had to know how to play instruments and have a talented voice.

[@jamesfarrington9030]

230 shows to 0?

[@wilburrrrr742]

Weezer version of Africa sucks Toto version of Hashpipe beats the original by a mile

[@rockinrobert100]

Steve is REAL.... But gotta say, this dude interviewing him is the absolute worst. Not worthy of this assignment.

[@alfonsogutierrez1392]

Love Cain too.. except his wife'$ catering to trump

[@stevedahl]

Move to a Red state steve. Live your liife

[@TG-jf5kh]

Noooo he'll turn us blue. Love Steve though.

[@espojespo5]

There's crap about living in a red one too.

[@RaspySquares]

GTFO of California Steve.

[@15scottie]

Luke is the coolest dude in the world.

[@15scottie]

Noooo, Jonathan's wife is the kookiest broad in the world.
