Lukather 💯 %

[@davidnash1595]

Joseph Williams is amazing! He hasn't lost a darn thing over the years. CLASSIC MUSIC! Phenomenal talent in Toto for over 40 years!

[@josecarlosramolete6109]

He may have lost his voice for few years but you are right: he hasn't lost a darn thing aright.

[@paulsparks8846]

People forget, these guys wrote songs for many major artists, including Michael Jackson's Thriller Album. It was Steve Lukather that got Eddie Van Halen to do the Beat It Solo

[@shogun0127]

we didn't forget

[@leeborracho5695]

I believe Steve Porcaro was the only member of Toto to receive a writing and publishing credit on thriller album for Human Nature. The other guys were just players on the thriller record, and Steve Lukather is bitter he did not. lol

[@funklover24]

@@leeborracho5695 You're right. But of course it's still a huge honour to play on "Thriller".

@@funklover24 actually, I think MJ should have been honored to have three great musicians working on his album.

[@funklover24]

@@davidmiles533 Probably it was an honour for both sides. There are interviews on KZbin with Toto-members, telling they were very nervous before the MJ-sessions, but face to face they soon got relaxed.

[@davidgreen2369]

Toto sounds great. Joseph Williams is sounding better than ever, I used to think he had a thin sound but he sounds much richer and does justice to the Bobby Kimball songs.

[@DaveBuildsIt]

I watched a video recently where he talked about working with a vocal coach for two years to improve his voice for Toto.

[@bigelile07]

He doesn't hold a candle to Kimball. Rosanna was terrible and Africa was just okay. This is like a Toto cover band.

[@davidgreen2369]

@@bigelile07 As I mentioned above, if we are talking about the men in their youth, I would agree. But a 74 year old Kimball could not handle this tour, so Williams is from the Toto bloodlines and can handle the tour respectably.

[@bigelile07]

@@davidgreen2369 Bobby has been going downhill for years, decades actually, and I never suggested that he should be touring with Toto. You said he was doing Kimball justice, I disagree. To each their own.

[@fib455]

Thanks for posting as I couldn’t make the show ( south jersey ). Glad to see my all time fave band getting love from the US crowds . They headline arenas like this overseas every tour . Band is a new incarnation due to Lukather and Paich being sued by the Porcaro widows . Sad but reality . They have a few more hits that they didn’t play due to time I guess . Toto is much more than their hits though .The original band with Jeff Porcaro and then Simon Philips is hard to top but Luke and Joe carry on . . Check out their deep cuts when you get a chance . EVH once said “ Toto is collectively the best musicians on the planet “…. Great compliment from Lukather’s dear late friend …

[@rogers6168]

I didn't know about the lawsuit. Toto as always been about Lukather, a singer that can sing those songs, great musicians, and those songs! Man, those songs! Timeless!!
