Everything Steve Lukather is talking about is pretty much lost, and he’s right: There are a lot of great players but not many great songs. Rhythm guitar is a lost art; writing unique songs with unique melodies and lyrics is long gone and hard to find. Yes, there is some good stuff. But you really have to look hard to find it, and more’s the pity. It’s the dumbing down of creativity and those who search for it.

Similarly to Eddie Van Halen, Lukather's prowess as a lead player overshadowed his genius as a rhythm guitarist and songwriter. Both of them wore their rhythm player hats so well that their achievements in anchoring down their bands' songs went largely unnoticed. I'd put Malcolm Young and Steve Clark in the same category of rhythm genius, although unlike Toto and VH, AC/DC and Def Lep had 2 guitarists.

Lukather nailed it - we all lined up and listened to side 1, absorbed it, talked about it, awed about it, and then flipped to side 2 and repeated... until the notes and nuances were burned into our craniums. I'm a bit younger but I can still subconsciously sing or hum note for note most 80's tunes and I didn't even have their albums. - I just know the artists and the tunes for some reason because the music experience back then was more immersive - MTV and MuchMusic here in Canada definitely had a role to play. And the music was definitely 100% more interesting and creative. Today's pop songs are largely "cut and paste" technology driven... with a new face to market - all largely disposable pop. BTW - my very first "rock album" ever purchased with my own money was Toto Hydra. Thank Steve Lukather and the band for a lifetime of great music and memories.

Enormous ability, experience and knowledge and able to distil what is really important and explain it in a humourous, self deprecating and understandable manner. He just makes you smile. God bless him.

Forget his solos (which are mind blowing in themselves), but his rhythm parts on a zillions songs - how the hell does he come up with them? Those years in LA must have been truly magical, to have all those great players living in your neighborhood, playing with so many of them in sessions...I guess that is one part of learning that we may sometimes forget.

Listening to albums was such a journey (usually literally). Waiting for release day. You had possibly heard a single or two but nothing more. Heading to the music store. Talking to others in the shop. Heading home and putting the record on in anticipation. I'd usually lie on my bed with the headphones on and just be absorbed into a new world. The second time listening I'd get the lyric inlay sheet and then read along. Such wonderful memories.

Rhythm guitar might be the most underrated thing in a band. I worked in the music industry for 10 years, mostly as a session musician. I'd say I've played with maybe 20 really good rhythm guitarists during all those years. Everyone can learn how to play flashy solos bur rhythm guitar you either got or not. It is kind of like drummers that actually can play a straight 4/4 beat. There are VERY few drummers who can make a 4/4 sound as good as a Dave Wekl kind of drum part.

That was a real deep thought provoking interview. I got deep into music with Journey back in 1979 80. I was in band and choir as a drummer back then. When I saw Journey live in 82 I was blown away. The live sound and intensity of the musicianship was my real wake-up call. Let me say, I went to the Freedom tour with Journey-and Toto in 2022 and it woke me up to the amazing music Toto had created in the last 50 years. I remembered some of the greats, Hold the Line, I’ll Supply the Love. There is such a catalog of songs that keep me listening over and over! English Eyes! I mean damn, just like Journey, live performances are absolutely incredible! Love Luke’s humble soul. It shows and translates to the live guitar work he brings to the show every time. Genius music. As a drummer, I can spend hours listening to anything Toto and Journey have done in the last 50 years. Not many bands can say the had any good music for more than 10 years.

I played for years in a duo with my best friend. He's a phenomenal solo player and I always played rhythm. I always got frustrated because I really couldn't solo. When I moved away, he started playing with other players. He called me and told me that he has yet to play with a rhythm player as good as me. He told me not to underestimate the value of my ability to lock down the timing and also change as needed. He said a lot of people can play great Solis. Not as many can play great rhythm. It made me very proud.
