I would hope that Steve's insights do even more than give a chuckle. I love him when he does that..but as a fellow musician...I deeply appreciate that he lets people KNOW what's REALLY going on. Toto is a different band because the business rips off musicians. Lets face it. Spotify pays .03 per stream. Their competition isn't much better. "Fans" say they love you, while they steal your content off the internet..never paying for the recording of the music, the photos, the marketing, the copyrights, the digital distribution. Steve is being so honest. If you Love music...please actually support it. Band like Toto, deserve that.

@@luvbasses5487 I liked how open and honest Steve was, Pete sensed Steve wanted to vent and let him get it off his chest. I liked in this case that it was not a conventional question-and-answer interview. Often a structured interview just gets formulaic responses and maybe Lukather himself is bored of doing interviews like that.

This version of Toto sounds amazing. At the end of the day Steve Lukather is Toto no matter who he is with. Had the pleasure meeting Steve years ago at an Orlando guitar center. All I asked was for a picture and ended up having the greatest conversation with my guitar hero, even when I stepped away to let others have a chance, Steve found me again looking at his rig and we started talking again. He just an awesome human being.

Ariel, I can add to that. Imagine this : NAMM Show, 1994 - Ernie Ball booth. Eddie Van Halen, Nuno Bettencourt and LUKE were signing at the same table. Incredible as that sight was, I get up to Luke to have him sign my "Lukather" 1st solo CD and he ends up hugging me and having a 10 minute conversation mostly about Jeff and how much we both loved him. Luke was extremely personable, humble and genuinely a sweet guy. I told him that I thought he was the most versatile guitarist on the planet. He gave me another hug. You are right, he has that ability to make you feel like a friend, just shooting the shit with him. Great guy.

The last time I talked to my friend Tony Barnwell who was friends with Nathan East in San Diego when we were all real young, Tony mentioned to me that he messaged Nathan. Nathan responded back to Tony that you’re not going to believe this but I just got off a plane and I’m playing with Toto, can you believe it Toto. Contrast Nathan’s attitude with their last bass player. Nathan saw it as a real honor. Sounds like the last bass player was all about something else. Tony passed away several years ago. Sometime before he passed I put together a real nice computer system for him and shipped it to him. Tony was a good friend to me and I never forgot what he did for me. I hope Luke is able to get some peace and enjoy the new band, he really deserves it. They sounded great and it looks like everyone loves being there. Best to come.

From other legends like him on stage like Japan 86 with Jeff Beck and Carlos Santana one can see the fun and entertainment back then and today with the new DVD Toto's With a Little Help From My Friends to see someone still hangin in there and enjoying playing and seeing people appreciate the performances in the times. His takes on life and things and yea down to earth. Music to place into history that many generations get to discover when they look back on these times. Thanks Pete for the video. I enjoyed a nite out in the fresh air at venue for music and always nice to catch a replay here on SOT. Thanks Pete and kudos to Steve Lukather always. 🎶🎸😊.

A tremendously enjoyable interview to watch even though there is little doubt that there may have been a few more questions on Pete's mind. Immediately went and watched some of the With A Little Help From My Friends videos. The band sounds great - proof of their musicianship if they had only been together for 10 days before playing those songs. Hope there is a chance to see them live soon and hope he will return to the SoT channel someday for another round. Thanks, Pete!
