[@1967apple]

Pat Travers is a true rock legend.

[@SallySteele]

Agreed!

[@staylor537]

Pat Travers will always be a true guitar legend, Who can remember the 70's and the 3 piece with Nicko McBrain!

[@VintageGearMan]

I listened To Heat In The Street full blast last night! I was in heaven again. I got to meet Pat and Mars years ago. Took all my Pat Travers albums and they signed them all. They were super nice guys.

[@RaiyzorX]

Saw PT Last Wednesday in Sac. Met him at the bar next door to the venue. WHAT A COOL guy.. My guitar hero, who’s influenced my playing and his music was the soundtrack to my yourth.

[@SallySteele]

Thank you for sharing!

[@krankrocker]

Circa 1992, my band at the time got to open for Pat Travers. Having that opportunity, and meeting the guys after the show remains one of the highlights of my music career. Pat and the guys were really nice to us, and it's a great memory.

1992 the same year I got kicked out of that band

The second best concert of my life, back in the 70's at the Hammersmith with Mars, Aldridge, and Thrall. Second only to Talking Heads Stop Making Sense. I still play his music to this day - legend!

[@patmcwilliamsmusic]

Pat Travers is and always will be my guitar hero. Living in Toronto I saw him live several times and was completely blown away. A true living legend, deserves way more recognition than he gets. Hope he gets back up to Toronto soon. 🔥🔥🔥

[@claudiaboniny]

Awesome!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤍

[@deusmisereatur4213]

Missed the premier but now i'm here.Great interview and great footage.Rock on!

[@merenco]

Such a nice interview! Thank you for that. Thank God, PT is still around. It would be wonderful to see him get the appreciation he deserves as a guitarplayer and composer during his lifetime. Wish he would visit Europe (Germany in particular) again...

[@SallySteele]

Thank you for watching!

[@larryfarkas]

Thank you. Love Pat. Big influence.

[@LisaMedeiros-tr2lz]

He is so cool. He didn't know her name and she never saw him play, so equilibrium.

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

Fan since I was a kid in the late 70's. Had all his albums, then cassettes and then CD's. I am sure Pat wanted to kill me back in the late 80`s. He was doing a gig at The Water Street Station in Torrington, CT. By the time my buddy and I got there I was hammered and I was jumping up and down in front of the stage like a maniac fist pumping and screaming like a drunken fool! haha Between every song I was yelling PLAY STEVIE! PLAY STEVIE! haha What makes it worse, it was the middle of the week and the place was so dead, I was pretty much the only one in front of the stage. It was summer time and the AC wasn't working it was hot as hell in the club so I kept taking off my shirt and the bouncer and waitresses kept coming up to me yelling, Put my damn shirt back on. I still remember the drummer looking at me and rolling his eyes. ha Pat finally had enough and said, here you go, and started playing the intro to Stevie. It was a killer live performance of Stevie. When we left the club, my buddy said, give your fucking keys, you freakin whackO! The next time they played in Hartford I didn't act like a damn drunken fool.

[@SallySteele]

Ha ha thanks for sharing!

[@VintageGearMan]

I still have all those signed records in excellent playable condition to.

[@390WagonMaster]

PTB was my soundtrack of 9th grade. SWEET!!!!!

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

Love the story behind Snortin Whiskey and Drinking Cocaine. That is freaking hilarious Pat all drunk and high on cocaine flipping the words. IMO the best freakin hard rock song ever written and riff/guitar.

[@mylesthrall2307]

Nice Interview!

[@SallySteele]

Thank you for watching!

[@allenbundy4650]

Always wanted to meet Pat. I got a buddy who said his dad played for Pat and he gave me some of Pats picks and a autographed shirt. Its still cool, but would still would love to meet and get my own autograph.

[@SallySteele]

He is such a nice man. I hope as well you can meet him someday. Thanks for watching

[@paulrcj1947]

I saw Pat first open for Rush 2112 tour. Mars and Thrall were there to kill it.

[@orlandoguitarist]

Me too! One of my first concerts I'll never forget. I saw them at Allentown Fairgrounds (race track), PA.

[@tproudboomer5965]

Guy has been a rock and roll road dog for six decades and he’s going to remember taking a pic with you after a show 18 years ago😂

[@allenlocke1935]

The sub atomic level is the secret to Pats awesome tone!

[@Dierkenzee]

Saw him in 1978. Fantastic.

[@regina8276]

Correction my name is Sally 😂 💕 Good Catch 👍

[@scottpeters5260]

Killer Pat playing a dogged out Fender Stratocaster thru Marshalls, don't forget his Wah What pedal

[@BITESIZEJONES]

He once came up to me at Dexter's in Winter Park and said hey man what wah are you using ? Coming from the guy that made me want to buy a crybaby way back in my early teens. Pat Travers is a super cool dude love his music.

[@bardmadsen6956]

Astrophysics, Pat Travers, you should read my book From The Deep Ocean Above, a real mind blower about The Taurid Meteor Stream and its almost 13 thousand year old tradition of New Year's of Halloween. Love the music, been a big fan since the late 70's and listen at least once a week. I've seen ya in The Rio Grande Valley, San Antonio, and the Channel in Boston. Follow the orange avatar icon to About, I'll send you a free copy, tell me what you think if you ever read it. Thanks Sally Steele

[@danconroy8293]

I've got Pat's 1st album that he autographed at a head shop in Indianapolis.

[@bardmadsen6956]

@@danconroy8293 1976, The Bicentennial, I have that LP along with a number of others, I put them on a flash drive that goes on for hours and hours. Those were the days, eh? I recall back then trying to remember where a head shop was that I had been to once before, I was driving a friend around that town years later and he wanted to go there, found it once again. Mater of fact that was the same guy I ran into in O'Hare, what are the odds? Got stuck in the blizzard of 1978, trying to outrun it, in Bloomington IL for a week, back then also. Whole different world now, had to jet set big time once again not long ago and there were no signs or clocks in airports, must be some ap that give the drones direction, people don't even know the Cardinal Directions anymore, like they don't even know which way the Sun rises...

Pat is anxiously in a hurry to leave to go get an ice drum stick!!!

[@cellulosefdr]

I just found out about Pat from Paul Gilberts interview on Beato. Wow what an amazing guitarist and songwriter. Its such a shame he doesn't get mainstream exposure....for the last 30 years no one has gotten exposure except for the psyops and now multiple generations don't even know what music is...they stream rap and techno created by AI...ur only as good as the music u listen to

[@eddiemuniz761]

Are you related to the late Allison Steele??????

[@raisedonrock]

Hello, No I am not. I don't know who that is. Thanks for watching.

[@steveludwig4200]

Not shocked at all Pat Thrall was inspiration for Snortin Whiskey......since when he and Glenn Hughes got together thats about all they did......unfortunately. LOL

[@monkeyrater]

When you think of late 70s, early 80s hard rock, Pat Travers set the standard for hard rock guitar over and above all the metal bands of that time, which is kind of amazing considering he only had 2 hit songs. Pat said something very important in this interview: when he tries to make good music no one appreciates it. When he is just goofing around with off the wall ideas he makes hits. He should really come to terms with the idea that most all of his music comes off as bland filler (not bad music, very high quality, but still bland). He should stop being a solo artist, find a band to work with and write music with. I listened to his latest album time travel, it sounds exactly the same as his old stuff, which is still very good quality wise, he is rocking just as hard at 70 as he did at 25. So he could be as big a star now as I was in the 70s if he could just write a few more hit songs. The only way he'll do that is if he co-writes songs because he is just sort of stuck in rut. Its not a bad rut, he rocks hard as ever, but its just not hit material. If anyone is offended by me suggesting that Pat no longer be a solo artist, Id like to point out that in another interview that Pat said it was his original intention was to form a band when he went to england. He couldnt find anyone who wanted to be in a band with him so ended up being a solo artist. I know exactly which artists that Pat should form a band with. I would be glad to tell him if he asked me.

[@SallySteele]

You have some very interesting points here. Thank you for your very insightful comments!

[@Mewv-o4o]

Scott Symowski was his best drummer

[@Mewv-o4o]

I always thought Pat would have been better with as band member. Like his voice is not his forte'
