  • not that I could do better, but sounds dull and uninteresting to me.....

  • GREAT PLAYER BUT!!!!!! VERY SHITTY RECORD COMPANY INDEED!!! CHEAP MV TOO

  • I like this guy's voice more than his guitar playing. Not saying he's bad, cuz he's not. The solo was just way to cliche for me. I didn't really like it

  • so amazing

  • that riff is fucking disgusting!

  • tutaj polak! przejmujemy ta piosenkę! polski zespół COMA zrobił lepszy cover tej pioseki!

  • filete

  • THIS IS A BUNCH OF CRAPP

  • I just keep coming back to listen to this song :P

    So good!

  • @toosboos...Grandios...absolut­ely stunning in particular Drummer Eric Valentine***

    worth seeing and worth listening...*** LG ***

  • Gorgeous song, gorgeous guitar solo, pass the tissues. :D

  • Anyone who could talk trash about this rock god is a moron.....he has more talent than anyone playing their so called music in the last 20 years.....

  • @MrPurpman17 I agree, no matter what he is up to now. He is the Gretzky of guitar players. :-) I don't get an erection from this stuff, but he is sacred soil.... ;-)

  • this guy claimed copyright infringement on an account that had Toto - Africa and another that had Larry Carlton - Strikes Twice...not only can i not enjoy my favorite artist Larry Carltons song Strikes Twice (studio version) but also much more...fuck this dude and his tool ass goatee

  • 0:00

    

  • Freu***...Heute Abend sehe ich Steve in Erfurt...im Stadtgarten...OHRgasmus...*

    

  • @ChakwainaTaipa ,und ? What was it like ? Saw him the 20th in Luxembourg !

  • BOOOOOOORING!

  • this guy is a pussy.....he removed andy mckee's version of africa cause he did it way better then toto what a douche

  • @JOEJOETHESUPER all Andy Mckees songs are still on youtube...under VEVO tho :(

  • @JOEJOETHESUPER he did not.The record-company did and they say its him.The old record company , i mean.And Andy and Luke happen to be friends ...

  • @JOEJOETHESUPER. You, my friend, obviously do not realize how the industry works. Musicians release their work under a label, with the exclusive rights to the compensation that follows. They pay for that opportunity. They pay. Any time music or ideas are stolen from them is money out of their pocket. Would you work for free? Of course not. Why should they?

  • fuck him, he got the user who uploaded toto- africa music video deleted!!!!

  • Awesome singer and an awesome guitarist

  • Steve, call me next time, i'll make you better video, the song is too good for that vid :) You are the best,man! I can't ait to see you live in Sofia after two months!!!

  • Awesome, you are the best!

  • i remember going to a concert and it was awesome it was a few years ago when i was 11 or 12 .. 14 by now...

    love steve lukather!

  • Awesome man, you´re the best!!!

  • 19 peoples don't know what REAL music is!!!!

  • That song dont look like others songs he use to sing!

  • What's the name of the 4th chord in the bridge? Can't figure it out..

  • HE'S THE MAN!!!

  • Now that, is some GROWLING guitar

    

  • Que grande es este tio Y QUE BIEN SUENA! AOR Forever!

  • could someone tell me the meaning for this song like exactly what the meaning is because im using this song for a history project and my teacher wants a date adn subject so could someone help he. by the way i love this song.

  • @Pollo2711People just accept what they told. Stupidity has taken over the world and we are near Judgement day because people have lost the ability to do thier own thinking and to speak up for their own opinion. Check out the Steve lukather interview with faceculture part 8 or ask him on his facebook page I'm shure he will respond to you quite soon. Take care <3

  • now they won't let me respond to others posts LOL.

    S*& ^ w you fedz.

  • @YodaVanHalen

    No kyllä mä sen tiesin alun perin, että Tanska on paska maa

    Jörn Donner

  • Brilliant

  • i love this video especially just him singing this beautiful song.

  • There's a message here about nuclear war and its consequences. So much

    truth in this song. Steve is awesome!

  • Saw him live, he´s awesome!

  • sehr geil (Y)

  • creepy flowers o.o

  • @1Rayson

    there are a numbers of ways of reading the flowers. For one, the elemental beings make up all things man brings to form. They are A moral...have no morality. Even ELECTRIC guitars and AMPLIFIERS effect the elementals who make up all such devices.

  • @flyingcarpetwizard elucidate.what the hell are you talking about?

  • @1Rayson 

  • @1Rayson and what are the elementals which make up the flower which are corrupted in the application of technology and electrical devices?

  • @flyingcarpetwizard me ? o: Idk o.o

  • I think that's very cliche, but he has a lot of technique. This song is cool though. :D

  • everybody´s talking about the solo, as if luke is only a great lead guitar player. first of all he is a great songwriter, that´s why i like his albums. and this song is awesome, especially the chorus. Great stuff!

  • Es un CRACK, tal vez el más completo guitarrista (TOTO) compositor, sonido, gústo...ext...lo tiene todo, es muy muy bueno y muy auténtico...para mí el mejor ! GENIAL !!!

  • One of the Masters of ... with a lot of thecnique, felling and soul... THE GUY!!!

  • I understand that it is generally not worthwhile to criticize YouTube vids. People who found them enjoyable gather around them and praise the stuff to each other - and that is all good, I do it myself.

    But as I stumbled here, here are my 2 cents anyways. To me this just sounded like a 13 in a dozen AOR-piece - not irritating but not interesting either. Specifically the solo seems to have nothing to do with the surrounding material, so generic you can drop it in any other song of the same genre.

  • @EneriGiilaan , guess you are not a fan ? Or a musician for that matter .....

  • @toosboos Correct on both issues - would being a musician help me see how the guitar solo here would not fit in any other AOR piece with the same/similar chord set?

    For a guitar solo that really belongs to the song and not anywhere else try this:

    watch?v=-Vaw4tI5Nro

    the song starts from 3:40 onwards. But of course also any other song there has long solos that intertwine organically with the rest - so you should perhaps listen the whole masterpiece of a record from the beginning to the end ;)

  • @EneriGiilaan , so why bother bashing Luke then ? If you don't like him thats okay ... But don't go bashing him.

  • @toosboos It was not my intention to 'bash' anyone - seriously. As I said in my original message I understand that there is a general trend for fans to gather around their fav music to praise it for each other, and it is good - and that I do it myself.

    But as this music didn't move me, I thought I could state the fact and try to give the reason why - I was hoping perhaps that someone could educate me on what aspects of music I am currently deaf of - not that anyone owes me that service ;)

  • @EneriGiilaan ,glad its not your intention to bash , as he has gotten enough bashing through the years.Guess its just the feeling us fans get when we hear and see him play ? I know there are songs of Luke that show his skills/talent/gift much better then this one does .....

  • @toosboos His technical expertise is quite evident - even for someone like me (not a musician) - the sound is beautiful, nuanced and balanced. I guess I have to check his other stuff to get a broader view of his approach.

    Take care.

  • I love all the solo albums from Steve. Specially LUKE but this one too of course. I cant wait for the one which is coming out this month. This is one great song. It should have been on the radio, it would have been a big hit.

  • I don't see why people are dissing th solo, I thought it was good. Fit well with the song.

  • One of the world's greatest electric guitarists. Awesome.

  • This song is fucking beast. Solo, is wildly intersting as well.

  • Undeniably one of the finest tracks I have listened to today.

  • THIS MAN IS GOD LIKE !!!

  • one of my guitar hero.

  • Wow, what a great song. Great production.

    I met and hung out with Toto a year before Jeff died.

    Great guys. And besides being a monster talent, Steve is crazy funny.

    Also saw him with his band Los Lobotomys with Simon Phillips on drums.

    Awesome.

  • steve you are always the best !!

  • The solo wasn't very smooth. Though he played well, the tone wasn't allowing the notes to be connected that well. Then the last note wasn't mixed well. It should have held at a good volume, before fading out while the vocals faded back in. That would've been better for me. Was just kind of boring too. Either more complexity or something a little more soulful.

  • @FarazR2 Yea ok, let's see, Steve Lukather Grammy winner, one of the best in the business or some guy on youtube? I think he knows what he's doing and how to mix.

  • @mgb6700 You seriously think Grammys, or any award for that matter, mean anything?

    Either way, I just think it was a poor choice. I'm not criticizing his entire body of work, nor him in general. Just the choice for this one work.

  • @FarazR2 I would give my right hand (the picking one) to see you attempting on that solo. By the way, as an "expert" guitarist (who can call himself espert tho?), I love that bassy tone coming from the neck. And the notes aren't well connected because it's what Luke wanted. Come on, you simply can't blame the best guitarist in the world

  • this song is awsome:D

  • Shouldn't have used so many wide shots. It revealed how cheap and nasty the set was.

  • Favourite! I a proude that I was on his concert here in Budapest at the A38 ship last summer.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG MERCI STEVE !

  • este man la tiene

  • This song is Enchanting , it almost puts your in a Trance its quite unique. The solo is just simply amazing Luke is so matured in his sound and yet still creative with a touch of wild child what the fuck will happen next i love it.

  • Love this shit XD

    Really awesome!

  • great!!

  • I've seen Steve live a few times now and he just rips your face off with his live solos. If your attending one of his shows in the future you might wanna wear a helmet just in case he blows your mind. (which he most likely will)

  • Simply Awesome! Keep Rockin' Steve! Please do US Tour Dates?!

  • nice song steve

  • Amen to that brother!!! I don`t like Metallica either but you`re right that you have to respect what they`ve done. Steve to me is in a league of his own as a musician. But that`s just my opinion.

  • People are always talking shit! I`d like to see them make something of their own instead of bashing out on Luke. The man`s a legend in his own right. A fantastic player with a signature sound. In a world of imitators, dudes like Luke stand out...

  • Fantastic!

  • great song!

  • Steve has one of the best voices in rock

  • What a song ! What a clip! I love ver much indeed that latter! This song is just delicious and I am so happy to have discovered it, though I was looking for the '' Ever Changing Times '' one hears at the end of the picture '' Baby boom '' ! All the stars for this song and its videoclip ! Oh what a voyage one makes with that one! Thank you very much indeed, FrontiersRecords and good day ! :) Durandal87

  • @durandal87

    c est vrai ce que tu dit la tres beau bissou delivano ton amie xxxxxxxx

  • It seems as if there's a pretty strong division of opinion among Luke's fans regarding this solo. My impression is that Luke was going for an Allan Holdsworth-type approach in terms of phrasing (albeit using his unrivaled alternate picking, instead of Holdsworth's serpentine legato). I think it's a terrific song and an exceptional lead.

  • @Kirok Well said.

  • Great song

    Great album

  • ohhhhhhhh!!!! amazing wow steve is the best

  • pedazo cancion, me encanta

  • I don't really like the solo. I love everything from this man, and I think he is awesome, but I don't like this. Awesome video, and song. You're the best of the best, Steve.

    Keep rocking!

  • me too. don't like this solo too much.

  • Steve vos tenes la re onda son un capo ami papa y a mi nos encantan todas tus canciones sobretodo

    "EVER CHANGING TIMES"

    CAPOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

  • I like guitar in intro xD Steve good sing in here

  • does anybody have a guitar tab for this? My ear is not so good :( thx

  • everyone always asks for tabs just google the song and put the word tabs after it its not that hard but its better for you to figure out by ear

  • To help you, I'm quite sure it's in drop D :P or even further down! you can find out by playing an open chord on the lowest 2/3 strings, this should give the same chord as the intro chord!

  • problem is, there aren't tabs for some songs and some people do struggle tabbing songs out by ear, like me.

  • I´m going to see Steve live tonight in Västerås, Sweden! :)

  • and thursday he's in Bucharest!!!!!! I look forward to seeing him!!! Oh man! I am soooooo excited!

  • Great :-)

  • He is have his Ever Changing Times tour ringt now... he comes to Norway 29/7 :)

  • I saw him in Losheim two days ago.

    One of the best concerts I've been to! (and I hadn't listened to much of his music before)

    He does a really great show and his band is very awesome! They have alot of fun onstage and that really transfers to the audience. Great concert, can only recommend it!

    Rock on!

  • Mhm gefällt mir irgendwie nicht so sehr...

  • I saw Luke in Frankfurt (2009/04/01) on Music Messe... it is something what I will never forget.... he was awsome, he is awsome and he will be awsome forever! We will never forget you and your great music Steve.... keep on and make more albums(ofc if you want :P)

  • La chanson est géniale (comme le reste de l'album, mais le clip est totalement nul !

    The song is great (like the other songs of the album) but the video is a shit !

  • I saw Toto in Cordoba - Argentina in Falling In Between Tour.

    Steve is the best guitar player of the world!!!

  • I really love Steve, but this video is kinda strange. The song is awesome though!

  • This song is badass. Major WIN

  • Anyone any idea what tuning he is using here? Mega!

  • Drop D

  • It looks like Drop D 'cause he plays the main riff with the 4th 5th and 6th strings all open. Or it's plain D tuning, but not standard ;)

  • fuckin amazing song!

  • Legendry song !

  • it is a really good song

  • og godnat...

  • what a tone what a player nuff said

  • The intro riff is so simple yet so beautiful.

  • wow...

  • Truly a masterpiece song, a truly legend "Steve Lukather" and a awesome person to hang and social about music.

  • Saw him live in Malmö at KB a couple of months back and got my copy of this CD signed. He's a real character.

  • respect

  • What's Scary is this is right on "the money" for what is going on in the US right now!!

  • Allerdings

  • Mein Gott...der hat es drauf, oder?!

  • Really good song.

  • Ow man, love this guy, seen him live with toto twice in Holland... Soo sad simon phillips is not behind the drums!

  • Luke is a living legend and a true master of the guitar.Pure class.

  • Yes.My uncle and me are the n.1 fan of luke and ToTo in Italy.Yes.He's a legend

  • Saw him 2 weeks ago in Nuremberg.

    Amazing!

  • TOTO sin Luke no es TOTO

  • yes :_(

  • Well I guess we must all deal with the split up but if he hadn't done it, we wouldn't have this :D

  • xq lo q steve lukhater se separó de toto

  • A fine song. Just by chance I came across it. I found the lyrics to be very inspiring!

  • Luke is amazing, his new album is one of the only albums I know where i like very song on it, pure talent.

  • Just picked up the album yesterday and I have to say it is amazing, great playing, solid writing and very good production values. Basically all the elements you expect from any Luke collaboration.
