That's it...Fuck it, I'm growing a moustache!

Holy crap we wore goofy shit in that period!!! I'm as guilty as anyone..... He kicks ass though.

Here's what I find amazing about this video. He was a successful drummer and probably made enough money to never work again. Yet if you look at his current videos you can see that he must have a true love of his instrument because he has continued to greatly improve his skills. His posture has improved, the way he holds his sticks has improved, his overall skill has not just improved, but gone off the charts. Yet by all accounts he is still a humble guy.

Steve is just a class act.

I guarantee he wishes he did'nt were those outfits now. The way he ran out from behind the kit I thought he was going to curtsie like a chick. What the hell was he thinking. If he had it to do over again I bet he would wear pants.....  Great Drummer, Ridicously bad outfit.

This is so much better than his jazzy solos.

Para mi tambien es aburrido el solo a pesar de que Smith es un baterista genial pero que se le va a hacer, es un solo aburrido, me gusta el Jazz/Fusion !!

[MikeMiheli]

what's with the nut huggers and spandex tank?

steve's rock solos were boring as hell.

[Drummindude2121]

yo mike you couldnt hang with one of steve's nuthuggers let alone 2 or anything else he does .Voted best all around drummer 5 different times in modern drummer you bonehead.Maybe you suck and are boring.

[MikeMiheli]

ok tough guy

compare his fusion/jazz solos to his rock solos and you'll understand .

i also liked when smith wore his denims pulled up past his belly botton with a wife beater.

smiths rock solos were attempts at being terry bozzio'esque.

smith is great but funny as hell to look at now.

[stixx2000]
