Steve Farris - Black Strat

[@patricesud]

Steve Farris, hello, how are you?, let me tell you that I took a picture with you (1988) when you and the rest of the ROD STEWART`s musicians went to my workplace to buy chilean crafts. It was a great pleasure to have seen you since you had a resounding SUCCESS with Mr. Mister at the 1998 Viña Festival and in 1989 with ROD STEWART came to do the first mega concert in our country, I remind it was on March 7 and the next day 8 March you went to my workplace. It was great to welcome you and talk a little with you. Other artists who had been at the Viña Festival also visited us a few times. I hope all is well with you and we look forward to seeing you in CHILE again. You are the best guitarist in the world.

[@MrFighead]

One of the most overlooked guitarists in the history ... this guy had it all, the sound, the technique, the feeling AND the look :)

[@Adipsia1]

+MrFighead I agree. Steve Farris and Mr Mister were totally under-rated.

[@ObamAmerican48]

WE NEED A MR. MISTER REUNION TOUR!!!!!!!

[@IBOII5150I]

hellyes we do!!

[@korhansoydan]

One of the most influential guitarists ever. Huge respect for him on his contribution to Mr.Mister's sound and image. Great musician. Cool guy.

[@dougsteeleguitar]

Steve Farris is a bad ass!!

Great job Steve! This is Pamela, Sean baker and the picture you recognised in my home in Peoria while attending Bradley university, which I dropped out and moved to Dallas tx and worked with Kim Dawson at the apparel mart doing commercial tv as well as apparel mary as a showroom model for Shaheen out of Hawaii. I've been married to a Notre Dame alumni since 83. I've traveled the world and my children and husband do the same. UAE, PARIS, KOREA, LONDON,SCOTLAND. I still work in movie casting. Working with Hilary Swank among just a few to mention. And am a member of the 3rd order of Holy Mary. I've been keeping up with ur awesome career. Did you are MARRY UR GIRLFREIND? I haven't seen Sean baker for years and understand he is married now and find it hard to believe he's out of the music industry. My son John is a electrical engineer but plays for different bands including Fred Weaver. He can play as well as you can imagine, he could probably keep up with you and sean. Best of luck always. Do you still have a turtle chin like mine? If you have any solo guitar of just urself I would like to know if you could! If ever ur in New Orleans give me a call 225yrs 9361847. I hope you have stayed sweet with all the success in ur life!

Steve Farris always came through. So knowledgeable & gifted.

[@catyork6070]

OMG, just came across this. I had a crush on Steve, back in the day of Mr Mister's fame in the 80's. Nice to see he's still doing well and still looking good!

[@TexasJackdaw]

Dude, you are THE man of the “rubber strings”. You changed how I play guitar. Thank you, brother.

[@TMoody]

Steve Farris great guitarist!

[@lydiastreasures7189]

Got better with age Steve... was nice meeting you in Melbourne back in the days. lol

[@drumdude46]

Last time i would have seen this gentleman, would have been 1985...at the Yamaha Soundcheck Competition, that my band then, Northrup...had somehow 'gotten itself into'. ( it's a story; our then manage, Steve Clausman, City Kidd-Tesla) submitted a demo of us...and, we were selected out of like 1500 bands, statewide. we didn't 'win' that October '87 evening at the Santa Monica Civic, but...it was a pleasure to be part of all that;, and scads of LA Heavyweights, were in attendance. Mr. Farris here, from Mr. Mister...being one of them.) anyway...he stood and talked with us for a few minutes; don't recall saying anything to him, but... it was just cool to be standing there with my band-mates...post show....and he was giving us a minute of his time; and hopefully, telling us he dug our outfit. lol!...Fee Waybill, Michael McDonald, Quincy Jones, some MTV V-Jays...and many, many other Stars were in the Audience. I 'wore out'...Welcome to the Real World, when that Record was on the Airwaves...in '85 and beyond...and still adore that album. Mastelotto was a God, to me! was thrilled to be in the presence of greatness.( i was 27 that year)... lookin' good Steve. even without the crazy hairdoo anymore! ( and No...seriously doubting you'd recall that moment, or even 'Me! lol!) Cheers!

Steve Farris played lead guitar for kiss on the song creatures of the night. Killer job

[@sonykroket]

You're one of the reasons I started playing guitar......

[@creepshowcrate]

Killer "muscle" guitar player, a la Dick Wagner, Neil Geraldo, Steve Hunter.. Thanks for the bangin' solos for KISS, Steve. He's the one Eddie Van Halen heard playing on "Creatures of the Night," while during the sessions Paul Stanley was bellyaching about who to get to replace Ace. Eddie heard Steve Farris's ripping solo and said, "Why don't you get THAT guy?"

[@mikevigano1]

Steve farris is a big influence on me. Wish he had a solo alblum!

[@alishataylor6017]

Mike Vigano want to talk about Steve Farris? U can send me a msg on here

[@Lukehart1953]

I remember when steve played here at Butch and Nellies in Marshalltown Iowa, that was a long time ago Hey Steve remember "What is hip" with a touch of Al Di Meola...Luke!

[@kirin2112]

Agree with all the comments, Steve is a bad ass. Great guitarist!

[@joeyswaney8497]

WOW! Valley Arts. My uncle has a Valley Arts bass. Awesome.

[@rodrigoroblesulloa7273]

Steve te admiro como guitarrista. Ojala retorne Mr Mister....

[@tommccarron324]

He had the best hair in the 80s LOL

[@TheSourceAVDesignGroup]

I love all my Valley Arts 5 & 4 string basses. I’m fact I still have all of them. Mike & Al were great guys. Rojilo and Jose were great luthiers too. I think Lee Sklar and Abe Laborial got there basses a few years after me. I would run into Luke and Larry Carlton there often.

[@chrisbirdsall6055]

Gotta love the one spring trem. lol

[@carolamancilla9735]

[@carolamancilla9735]

Wow que hombre mas guapo

[@mr2mister1]

Siempre ha sido guapísimo, eso que ha tenido varios looks y todos le quedaban súper bien¡

[@carolamancilla9735]

La primera vez que lo vi fue en el Festival de Viña del mar y desde ahi lo he encontrado guapisimo y ahora con 61 años sigue igual de guapo

[@mr2mister1]

En Viña del Mar se le veía súper sexy¡¡ te doy toda la razón.

[@ArmandoRibeiro-pl1wu]

Guitar god!!

[@magnificentmuttley2084]

Steve Farris had the look and the sound. Tangent Tears from Welcome to the Real World is one of my all-time favourite tracks. Great production on that album but Steve Farris’s guitar on that track is awesome. The harmonics he gets are brilliant. Great technique. Great guitarist. Should’ve had much more mainstream success. Lose the beard Steve and get the spiked hair back. ☘️

[@franciscomiranda3239]

Reunion of Mr. Mister??

[@billgateskilledmyuncle23]

Is that the dude with the crazy hair from Mr. Mister?

[@mr2mister1]

Yes¡ he was first guitar in Mr. Mister.

[@tomdecuca3627]

I suddenly realized Steve could double for actor Rory Calhoun. No wonder all the girls are crazy about him.

[@carolynmancilla6627]

Bello

[@mr2mister1]

Google this: steve farris spooky tooth.

[@myriamevas.1522]

yo te amo mi rey!

[@MrOzgooner]

That guitar is now owned by Michael Casswell , another world renowned guitarist from England

[@tonykennedy8483]

Sadly Michael died recently so where that guitar is now is unknown

[@Icepacalapse]

Man that flood ruined a lot of sweet guitars. I wonder if he still has that strat with the rails?

[@jdmoncada8205]

He's giving me big Ron Swanson vibes.

[@svtrader]

Poor guy's back to eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

[@GeorgeSawtooth]

I don't think so. Check out a recent interview. He designs wetlands for the Dept of Wildlife.
