Rig Rundown - Toto's Steve Lukather

Article & photos: bit.ly/SteveLuk...
Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger hung with Steve Lukather and his tech, Jon Gosnell, shortly before Toto’s show at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. While Gosnell covered the nuts and bolts of the pedalboard and amp, Lukather showed what his signature Music Man guitars are capable of.
Although Lukather has been closely associated with a lot of great guitars during his career, he currently sticks nearly exclusively with his signature models. His No. 1 is an Ernie Ball Music Man LIII Ball Family Reserve loaded with his signature DiMarzio Transition pickups and a +15 dB boost.
His No. 2 is “Sammy,” which is basically the same model but with a custom, one-off finish featuring images of Sammy Davis Jr and Sterling Ball.

Steve is a wild man. Energy of two cats. I had a very handicapped friend of mine at a Toto show, Steve singled us out, bought my friend and I a beer, shot the breeze with us for ten minutes. Steve is tops in my book. Oh yeah,fabulous guitarist.

[@mrc2662]

I know that was 5 years ago now but that’s just so nice to read. What a top bloke he really is - big respect. Glad you had a great night and hope your friend is doing well.

[@davidgoode7416]

Met him once and agree with you

[@eightieschild63]

I've seen a lot of Steve Lukather interviews and this is what the guy is like. Funny, sarcastic, attention span of a hyperactive puppy but very nice and a great guitarist. Love this guy and look forward to the day I can see him in person.

[@GoddamnAxl]

you just cant put a guitar in the guitarist's hand while talking to them.... they just cannot resist from playing it.

[@joseph_lacy]

Patrick Mao it helps me focus on what's going on in the conversation if I noodle while talking

[@Wmiranda2012]

True

[@OZRIC1985]

Oh, how I can relate to that! LOL! :-p

[@stephenlennartz3466]

It's what we do. It annoys my wife a bit. And yet ... she keeps buying me guitars! I'm a lucky man.

[@jcserrano1663]

Dear John, I love your interviews better than everyone else. Love your videos also

[@MrUltraworld]

Luke is noodling because he gets embarrassed at the attention his playing generates. He's not comfortable talking about himself or hearing someone praise him. It's not rudeness.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Yeah Luke's a goofball, he's not being rude, just being a stoned old guitar cat LOL

[@natejustice1109]

I’m the same exact way; Some people talk to me while I have a guitar in my hands and I mostly noodle or strum cuz I’m socially awkward. Haha. I pay attention and whatnot meanwhile, but it’s the ADHD in me.

[@josh-v2h]

@@natejustice1109 literally me as well.

[@scottyecora]

That fully makes sense. I do not like to be the center of attention and I act strangely (to others) when I am put in such position.

[@crusaderofunderdogs8005]

You seem to know him very well. Lol.

[@marc0d0n]

Steve: *shreds during the whole interview* *end of the interview* "Sorry I didn't play anything super flashy guys"

[@21DAZ12]

I have been waiting for this for so long, Steve is my favourite guitar player ever!!!!!!!!!

[@johnbohlinger4868]

What's with all of the negative comments? Steve Lukather is as good as it gets: he's a brilliant player/songwriter/singer and, most importantly, an incredibly great guy. To all the haters out there: making libelous comments about a great artist merely reveals your short-comings. Be inspired by greatness rather than try to tear it down.

[@HARTYNMUGHES]

John Bohlinger if certain people don't think he's great, that is allowed isn't it? I'm just checking.

[@wesleyclay2528]

Martyn Hughes why would you watch this rig rundown if you weren't interested in Luke? George Benson, Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones like Steve's playing and writing, if you don't like him that's cool, however he's achieved more in his life musically than most people dream of,

[@HARTYNMUGHES]

Wesley Clay because people like watching rig rundowns regardless of who's playing it. I'm not a fan of Toto but can appreciate anyone who plays with innovation.

[@tomgroleau222]

Well said John. Luke is the man. Great job with the interview, as always.

[@joeldwyer1545]

"Nice, awesome, great, cool"(John Bolimger)

[@abnzg]

I've met Luke once, after half a lifetime of being a fan and studying his every lick. Dude was the most gracious, down-to-earth, friendly guy you could ever hope to meet.

[@ludwigo1580]

And you have...... Steve: starts playing

[@infernalhammer]

Luke was being cool just by agreeing to appear in this rig rundown. Most players would just stay in their hotel room and let the tech/rodie handle it. The interview went just fine.

[@e.l.norton]

Luke is hands down THE most down to earth, every man kind of guy. Less than no attitude or ego. Just a good human being and humble guy. That makes him tops.

[@Diax1324]

And he gets nervous in interviews. He's a frenetic dude.

[@tjatkinson88]

Just met him during their current Tour. I will agree, he is one of the nicest guys out there.

[@143Chippy143]

Luke is THE MAN !!!!!!!!! People just dont know who he really is and what he has done in the music industry outside of Toto !!!

[@itsthelittlethings4702]

He is so COOL!!!

[@fourthlayer]

Dude can play! I could watch those riffs all day long

[@hillaryknox]

What a bunch of clueless millennial comments. Lukather has been killing it for 40 fucking years.

[@audra1976oliver]

RIGHT ON. Millennials don't know shit about real music.

[@backthisway]

exactly -sheesh .. the things people write when hiding behind the internet - never got the balls to say them to the persons face - par for the course - bedroom bound wannabes.

[@wendiharvey5891]

I think he's hot. He's goofy short and stumpy. OH well! Awsome guitar player. People who make fun of him are just jealous. Seeing him in September and there are no words for my excitement!

[@DanielVerberne]

If I could be any guitar player, it would probably be Lukather, such a well-rounded rocker, with such chops and knowledge of music behind him.

[@lukepaich1886]

Luke just can' t help himself.... If you are interviewing him with an axe in his hands he will be noodling. :-D Also, like any human being he can have a bad day too.

[@kevinjohnbetts]

I think most guitarists will probably noodle when having a basic conversation with someone let alone when being interviewed and filmed. 'Have guitar, will play'. I suspect that had the interview happened offstage, and without an impending soundcheck, Luke would have been a bit more forthcoming and come over better to certain viewers here.

[@jayrobb9]

I'm not Steve Lukather, I'm a total hack, but I can relate. I recorded a song for my girlfriend a few years ago, and after the song, I was speaking just to say a little 30 second message, and I was noodling all through it! Didn't even realize until she made me watch the video back.

[@miriamdavis2988]

Steve is everything right now for me. Just discovered him!!

[@KingdomofLuke1]

You've gotta see him live Miriam - he is KILLER. Check out his solo work too - Falling into Velvet, Brodie's, Rest of the World... Toto, Nerve Bundle, Los Lobotomys.

[@dbuzard326]

"In Bob's defense, he didn't tell everybody to turn everything on". Great quote

[@shanejohn7711]

"THE" best for me. And his journey hasn't been a bed of roses. So he can be who ever he wants to be. A legend.

[@darkbluebossa]

Ok, he may sound like he had some drinks, but he wasnt arrogant at all. He replied all questions in detail, laughed. Yes, sometimes he played his guitar interrupting a question, but most of the time he was nice. And he is a great guitar player

[@AlessioSfasci]

Yes bro, but Luke is CLEAN from years. He stopped Drinking and smoking about 6-7 years ago

[@darkbluebossa]

Cool! Thanks for the info

[@craigpardy4291]

yeah, I think he's just being corky. at least he showed up, and not his tech. he also may have a bit of ADD lol.

[@SimonaPirone1]

He doesn't drink either, he seems perfectly fine to me. Some people are just assholes!

[@leeborracho5695]

He does enjoy the devils lettuce every once and a while!

[@lufiealice6251]

Great player. If you like music and you like guitar, how can you not like Steve Lukather?!

[@Williamstanway]

I love Steve Lukather, not only was he responsible for beat it by Micheal Jackson but he also wrote some of the best pop/rock songs for toto .

[@chaisehombre7723]

VanHalen did beat it.

[@Williamstanway]

+CHAISE HOMBRE he did the solo, I made this comment because I knew someone would bite , lukather wrote the main guitar riff .

[@Williamstanway]

+CHAISE HOMBRE no he did not , do your research

[@Williamstanway]

+CHAISE HOMBRE lukather did the rhythm parts van halen did the solo as I have said. I knew a fanny like you would take the bait .

[@cathybedwell573]

Luke also played bass on Beat It.

[@enkiea8322]

I think he's cool. Free spirit.

[@TruthSurge]

Steve just wants to play. The interviewer just wants to talk. You can figure how it will go. Interviewer should learn quickly that he needs to sort of ask an open question and let Steve do whatever. Then ask bigger questions like "Tell me about your live rig." THAT WAY, it's a longer response and so forth. Dude just seemed too giddy and starstruck.

[@tff1293]

I wish the more artists would play around that much during these interviews. I want to hear em play!

[@1979GenXdude]

Whahaha! "Oh god, please forgive me! I just got everything and I turned it all on." Lukather in response to the Starlick's Lesson Video on VCR from '84. Epic sense of humor! :) Pretty cool!

[@sinpilot3195]

I loved the 1984 licks video. This guy is down right awesome on a guitar.

[@Nostaljack]

Some of you really need to just chill. Luke is Luke. If you know anything about him, his behavior is totally par for the course. He WAS NOT being rude. He's a player who loves to play. If a guitar is in his hands, he's going to noodle. Rude would have been to not allow John to talk at all. That didn't happen. It must be very weird being judged so harshly by people that don't actually know anything about him as a person. The conclusions some of you are drawing would almost be funny if they weren't so completely off the mark. ...and no, he wasn't drunk either...SMH...

[@dnp41]

unfortunately this is the internet, there is no chill button. but you're right, a guitarist with a guitar in his hand will play. I liked it, gave me an idea of his tone.

[@samspelsterapi1218]

I think he was drunk or high. Otherwise he could have handled a two way conversation AND demonstrating his rig AND show off a bit. Many other huge players have managed just that.

[@Williamstanway]

I agree dude, plus not enough artists actually play on rig rundowns to demonstrate there gear, this was refreshing .

[@Nostaljack]

Samspelsterapi Based on what? Luke is kind of an "all over the place" type. That's just how he is. He's neither drunk or high.

[@Nostaljack]

+projectgoatse Just...wow...

[@TheTrueFortress]

The older I get, the more I imagine Luke might just be the greatest electric guitarist of all time. He really is something. Steve is terrifying. Put him in any mashup with any player and Lukather schools. And to those who criticize his demeanour and random playing (in this video), it’s just him and how guitarists hang. The guy is always humble, cool and friendly.

[@robertburks2187]

Early in summer of 82 i heard some band do a remake song called "you really got me" the guitar solo was astounding. A month later i heard another band do a song called " hold the line' again , the guitar solo was a mind blower. Cant say enough good things about the most influential guitarist since Hendrix and the most recorded guitarist of all time . Ed Van Halen And STEVE LUKATHER!

[@trijigon]

TheTrueFortress I agree. He’s not only technically gifted, but he is more of a musician than just about any other player. He has chops to keep up or pass anyone but his ear and his musicality truly elevated him beyond anyone I’ve heard except Andy Timmons.

[@dstfno]

Calling him the best would be disrespectful to the many great guitar players out there. But he's definitely on another level compared to the majority of rock shredders who are great at what they do but also usually limited to only that. Lukather goes beyond the box many rockers are caught in and is a versatile musician with great feeling and musicianship, which allows him to be functional in many different styles and environments.

[@angusorvid8840]

I've always thought Steve as great as much as I hated Toto. Still, and outstanding player, and he's played on so many albums as a session cat it's amazing. One of the best.

[@WellnessRosterHQ]

Fantastic player and a 1 take studio monster.

[@jeremycubs8331]

They're having fun both in this interview. Can't c see any problem at all, in fact it's enjoyable to watch.

You can put Luke in any band situation, put any piece of sheet music in front of him and he will morph into that player. He's worked with a who's who of music and plays to the song. It's not Luke ripping through a Streisand song, he becomes the song. A lot of knowledge in his head, and nearly 40yrs of traveling under his belt.

We were cutting into their soundcheck but Steve was gracious enough to take time out of his hectic schedule to talk to us. It was a huge honor. Lukather is an incredibly talented musician, guitar god and genuinely great guy. But no worries. Lee Sklar said he's happy to do a rundown next time his schedule allows.

[@TheDontflinch]

Growing up in the 80s I would hear some Top 40 songs with some of the most amazing guitar solos. I would eventually find out that almost all of them were Steve Lukather. The final guitar solo for "Dirty Laundry" and "Running With the Night" come to mind.

[@gr8guitarplayer]

One thing I see mentioned consistently about Luke, other than how talented, amazing, all his accomplishments, etc, is how underrated he is. I'm an Orioles fan from way back. And in some of those years, when they were on top, I noticed most other teams had more guys in the leaders category than the O's did. My father told me that was because they were a great TEAM, as opposed to a team with a few "stars." I think that's a good analogy as to why Steve Lukather is considered underrated. He was in a kick-ass band, oozing with talent, and he did so much amazing stuff for other top artists, that he just didn't get a ton of spotlight. And it seems to me he likes it that way. Hell, "Hold The Line" was one of my all-time favorite songs from the time it came out, but I didn't learn who SL was until much later. For comparison, everybody knew who the guitarist was in VH as soon as they made it big. Yet Steve is right up there with all the other GOAT's.

[@antoniodelarosa8850]

I preffer EMG pickups. The other guitar sounds better.

[@timp.9582]

noticed his pedalboard doesn't have the amp's footswitch. Is Luke just playing a single channel and just using the distortion and OD pedals accordingly, or is Johnny changing the channels for him?
