[@BruceLee-zd9bw]

This man is just from another planet. What a talented musician he really is. 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@tomkeller1970]

Absolutely!!

[@zebra2346]

I love how Steve Stevens extracts every possible sound and texture from a guitar. Very unique and truly a great guitarist. Total respect

[@MARISARODRIGUEZ-j9j]

Gotta luv what u do

[@shaunshelly3314]

When I saw him play the unplugged set with Billy Idol, I realised that Steve Stevens is hugely underrated - his ability to play multiple parts simultaneously is just brilliant.

[@davidsellers3639]

Yep,totally rad

[@GROBI1180]

THATS CORRECT!!!

[@VangeliRock]

It was mind blowing.

[@fredkelly4365]

Top bloke and deeply underrated musician

Steve’s personality is AAAA+

[@jaybd9329]

Who said he’s underrated?

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

🤮 If I hear “ underrated guitarist” “ covert narcissist “ “ abuse “ on the Internet again, I’m going to throw up 🤮

What a LEGEND. So humble and a fan as much as a player.

[@robertdiehl1281]

He, makes rock and roll fun. Full of energy and passion.

[@nickyb6435]

35 years ago my 18 year old self made sure i got to see Steve Stevens live, one of my better decisions in life

[@chrisfournier6144]

I always enjoy watching Steve explain guitar playing. He’s like a kid talking about his favourite hobby. No pretence just skillful enthusiasm.

[@davidemmons899]

Which guitar player has a ton of pretense?

[@GordiansKnotHere]

I clicked on this to see what was going on and this turned out to be the most humble, fun, least pretentious guitar discussion I've seen/ heard in a real long time. This made me love Stevens. Thanks man!

[@TheWoodyJohnson]

Here here!! 👍🏻🎸🔥❤️‍🔥

[@joesatchton212]

Steve Stevens is a monster player. Period. He and Billy idol belong on every single shortlist of greatest singer/axeslinger duos of all time. My favorite quote about Steve Stevens came out of one of the guitar mags back in the day. During a studio visit where Steve was recording the first Atomic Playboys record, the writer of the article commented that he heard the most incredibly precise, machine gun like rhythm playing he had ever heard. Every strike was perfect and in perfect time. That kind of rhythmic precision and excellence, to me, really describes a core element of Steve's playing style.

[@davidsellers3639]

Steve is definitely bad ass and has a little different style and technique than you usually hear

[@RolanTHUNDER]

Yeah, he's fantastic!

[@HAL900032]

so badass its hard to understand just by looking at him . never misses a beat.

[@piotrmartyniuk7689]

[@batphink2655]

I can't believe how humble and soft spoken Steve is for such a brilliant guitarist, seems fame never got to his head which is a good thing!

[@brettgarsed]

That is a MASSIVE guitar tone!! Love Steve, amazing musician all around.

[@davidsellers3639]

It’s the extra little notes he is adding that changes the sound,sadly too many are really missing what they are hearing

[@Azarie03]

I just love this guy. So down to earth and a killer guitarist.

LISTEN TO ATOMIC PLAYBOYS ALBUM!!

It's incredible to see him play so easily 😮

[@oldtimer4888]

He's not underrated if you've understood for decades how damn good he is. Thank you for the the great music over the years Steve!

[@Mike-eq4ky]

This guy is awesome... so underrated. He's very much an original and I love his style and approach to composition.

Stevens is a highly underrated guitarist. He's a phenomenal talent that can play anything

[@michaelb.42112]

[@jaybd9329]

I think you mean unpopular. So many miss-use the term ‘underrated’. All guitarists know he’s highly rated

[@whenwedecay]

@@jaybd9329 guitarists know, there's an entire generation that associates Steve Stevens with 80's hair bands. Yes, he is underrated by them

[@ScragNath]

Can he play the Spoons?

[@whenwedecay]

[@armandoquisiverdi2706]

Brilliant how he uses extra items to add unique sounds...And a humble person for sharing some guitar techniques....A great musician !...

[@surlyman7970]

Here’s an example of why Steve Stevens is great: In a decade, when every rock guitarist wanted to be soloing ala Eddie Van Halen gymnastics, (and Steve has the chops also), he takes an 18 bar solo in White Wedding , instead of blowing, develops a very simple, but beautiful, weaving, melodic part, which resolves like a satisfying end to a movie. That instrumental guitar part cut through the noise on the radio and holds up great through time. Dude was smart.

[@EricSmith-fp4gq]

One of my top five player's of all time. Thank Steve, and Billy ( you compliment each other so perfect) for some amazing music. Love you brother

[@user-KrishnaBlessings]

Just the best guitarist alive, thanks for your Inspiration and divine performance ❤❤❤

[@derrickj8424]

I’m embarrassed to admit that I only know Steve’s playing from the 80’s. But he is absolutely amazing and I’m going on deep dive of his catalog.

Steve I used play at Zappa's during the early 80s.I saw you many times with one hand clap.You were amazingly exceptual even in those days.You even saw me rehearse at my studio on bath ave in Brooklyn.As i was leaving you paid me a compliment and said "your a really good bass player."Coming from you i regard that as the greatest acknowledgement that I ever received back in my playing days.I'll never forget that.Thanks for the memories.

[@steveskuras2515]

Totally agree with the underrated comments. He's so underrated and such a great guitarist. He can play anything and has some of the most iconic riffs in rock and roll. Rebel Yell, Dancing with Myself White Wedding

I saw Billy idol and Steve Steven’s back in the late 80’s, with the cult opening, amazing line up, the cult was on the electric album tour.

[@Stratisfied22]

Stevens is just phenomenal, a genius as far as playing exactly what the song needs without ever over doing it.

[@mrmaclipstick5183]

I agree with everyone that he was so underrated. I think when heavy metal started to take over.. he was just overshadowed cuz so many guitarists were booming in the 80s to early 90s. I know he wasn't always with Billy Idol. Played with others like Vince Neil and Michael Jackson. I remember also having Atomic Playboys. But.. it just never really blew up for him.

[@ElGuapoMikesell]

Steve Steven’s you are a hall of famer in my eyes wish you got more recognition much love!

[@randyjohnson5426]

Steve is such a fantastic guitar player with many tricks in his bag. Im a guitar lover and appreciate all the different sounds a guitar player can create....EVH was the king of cool sounds and influenced so many people. If anyone else is the same as me check John 5's latest video promoting his new " Ghost" guitar....the song is strung out.

[@thestudiopro7426]

Steve has nothing to worry about because his talent has earned him his spot in history🤘

Steve created many of my favorite riffs, from my teen years. From 'White Wedding' to 'Eyes Without A Face', his licks always kicked ass. Thanks, Steve!

[@ridethebull4484]

[@thestuwrightwright]

Good God. One of the best. And his tone!

[@Hardvolume007]

[@LibertyBleeds]

I've watched this many times... Never gets old! 🖤🔥🤘🏼

[@rustyblasco7201]

I'm so glad he touched upon the notion of distortion flattening the potential fullness of chords. I've been a metal and rock fan for a long time, but I'm also a lover of harmonically interesting chord structures. Clean(er) sounds bring out this vertical quality the best.

[@mpireone]

He's so humble... seems like you could talk with him for hours, like you knew him for years? 👍👍💯💯❤❤

Man, it's been a while .. I didn't realize how amazing he was / is .. I just remember being a kid and watching him play in a Billy Idol music video making his guitar make the coolest machine-gun-like sound and I thought he obviously was some kind of god from another world ..

The many hit songs of "Billy Idol" just wouldn't be the same with Steve Stevens. His sound and style is undeniable.

[@keithbarnett1714]

Steve is just awesome! Period Would love to see him play with Billy Idol. Or any band!!

[@Viper_555]

STEVE!!! Steve’s talent is/was held back within the Billy Idol band. We’re given a little sample of what could be (a kick-ass guitar driven song) and then, all the sudden, it’s over. What a tease! The only time he was allowed to let loose was during his live solos.
