Steve Stevens is one of the most criminally underrated guitarists on the planet.

[@frankz12001]

I agree.

[@code-aesthetic]

No doubt. Genius.

[@rickyguitarman3839]

YES he is!!!!!

[@jasonyoung2676]

Indeed. He is pretty epic.

[@rockinron3215]

Russ Clark . Steve Stevens amazingly plays the rhythm and melody at the same time.

definitely spot on, but probably only played it a thousand + times.

Another underrated guitarist 🎸🎸👍🏻👍🏻

[@dannywaystedofficialhardnh2235]

it's CRAZYYYYYYYYY Bro,,,,

[@Xantylon74]

Billy Idol is one of the few who can sing live exactly as in their best studio recording, what a blast! Unbelievably good!

[@Zrayel]

+Xantylon74 Not a lot of bands can do that. Linkin Park was pretty spot on when I went to their concert as well. Really love this unplugged version as well as Rebel Yell. Love it.

[@thomassickler9276]

I agree 100%

[@dianasteau2700]

So true! He even sounds better live. Went to the concert 7 years ago in Romania to see him, he was incredible!

[@willl7780]

Oh yes the guitarist is doing more than you think. This version is hard to perfect, this is purely masterclass!!

[@gziggy]

Intense hybrid picking right there

Am I "that guy" if I say that I think he does LESS than you think? I don't really think this is anything spectacular at all to play. Quite the opposite actually.

Billy's one of the very few artists I've heard who sounds every bit as good live as a recording. A superb natural talent.

[@TueventoPE]

This Billy Idol story teller is fantastic, and this song is too much and there are 2 doing good rock and roll, they complement each other perfectly, especially when Billy tells the stories before each song.

What a guitarist!!!!!!!........

Steve Steven’s just sitting there playing lead and rhythm guitar, at the same time, and making it look so easy. Pure talent.

[@andyholmes6380]

How is it that Steve can make technically difficult look like it's no biggy? There was a lot going on there....respect earned and given!

[@sebagrudzinski]

It's called Sprezzatura

[@jhandle4196]

It's because "the groove" comes naturally to him, and the rest is icing on the cake, gravy on the 'taters, and all the other good stuff.

Key words - "When there is real talent." As there clearly is here.

[@G-Man.God_Guns_Guitars]

I've worked twice with Billy and Steve twice in Vegas. They are both as down to earth and as cool as you can get... PERFECT GENTLEMEN! Billy even took the time at soundcheck to show me the "coolest trick ever" to play Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love! So simple, but so illusive... Steve was kind enough to meet, talk to, (genuinely carry a conversation) with this hot chic that I was with that night... Billy was kind enough to meet and hang with her for a while right before he went on stage... They're both total pros! And nice guy to boot! It's so nice when celebs remember where they came from and who put them there... Not so with Prince, I might add... Never stop the ROCK! God bless and take care...

[@patrickbateman7769]

Prince wasn’t a rude person he was just a super shy person who avoided conversations if he could

This is a very good example of the audience being part of the show and living it out and thus making the artist actually better. You can clearly tell that Billy's confidence and willingness to go harder is helped by the audience.

[@amanda999555]

Steve plays like a god

[@zorkan111]

2:17 A simple thing, but I love how Steve locked in the guitar to the vocals.
