Jimmy Page influenced so many people...

[TBOMBURBOOTY]

@starstarstar42 you gotta listen to learn, BOY. just tryen to help some of you fools.....

[starstarstar42]

@TBOMBURBOOTY It would be easier to listen if you spelled better. :D

[azimuth361]

How many guitarists do their solo shredding on an acoustic guitar? Only the best. Stevie Stevens ROCKS!!!

[bblades262]

your point?

[Cajunninja65]

why play a gig in latvia? just make the latvian's travel to st petersburg

[lvvadim]

good player for me but slash the best. Russia loves slash

[unrealeck]

So what you're saying is most women are gold digging layabouts that have very few tallents outside of the home.

[rawdawg440]

@unrealeck EXACTLY!

[matthewr001]

I saw Billy Idol last night at the rivera theater,(chicago, il) and Steve Stevens is awesome! Slash came out to play one tune with them and Steve had to hold back only for him. After Slash left, Steve took over again, He could have done the whole show all by himself. And Billy was good too, Great show, Very cool.

[mememememe1980s]

Seriously, this guy could possibly be one of the most underated guitarists out there. Great feel, maybe not a shred your head off guitarist but really i have to struggle to find anything on him and he was really a great great player.

[tchintchinman]

music is in your face thanx mr stevens

[MrMartind15]

Over The Hills And Far Away !

[aliceinchains898]

wats the songg at 1:30

[hangaardjunior]

[cynful66]

ummm....wake up call....older women are looking better than ever and having l;oads of great sex.....with younger men. This aint yer grandmas generation, folks.

[homanjon]

Plizz tabs?

[Dudeprelude69]

Stevens Rocks! MEGA-MEGA... Charisma In That Man! Slash Nervously Smokes At Comparison With Steve!

[Ronynerozzi]

great solo....bravo

[RealNighTrain]

I like hiw he just starts to play over the hills and far away

[lyddilou2]

this man was born playing guitar

[grignyak]

Steve Stevens is the coolest :)

[alwaysblank]

Everyone criticising Steve Stevens is obviously intimidated by him or feel threatened. Well, i should say he threatens the 'importance' of the guitarists they worship. Which is really odd. I guess its because he is a quiet guy and little is ever said of him which is why people call him "underrated". Seems odd to seek out his videos on youtube only to say that he isnt very good. Its like me searching out a rarely mentioned artist or actor and taking the time to insult them. Whats the point?

[andjjeo]

Listen to the music in song Dirty Diana with Michel J.

Then you will understand everything.

Or... Top gun anthem...

He is soooo good!!!!!!!

[TheSchonz]

Steve is responsible 4 d best heavy metal album of all time- Vince Neils Exposed!. IMFO..

[joesl8]

Maybe Slash's mom made costumes for some record exec? Hell I don't know?? One thing I do know is that it's ridiculous to argue about who's a better guitarist (because it's subjective) and it's even more ridiculous to argue on the internet. I must say, look at some of this guys tutorials, he's actually good!? Is it Hendrix? F-NO, but it's still o.k. and even I need a break from listening to SRV and Hendrix all the time.

[alwaysblank]

Steve Stevens playing Voodoo Child on youtube. An old clip. Search youtube for 'Steve Stevens Voodo' - they spelled Voodoo wrong. And watch him play your precious Hendrix.

[kcave23]

@ emotionalinvalid Slash's mom got him into the biz? His mom made costumes. Do your research before saying something that stupid. That is ridiculous. She also probably recorded all his parts on Appetite also....

[SiKsHreDder666]

whooo!!!!!!!zeppelin!!!!!!

[emotionalinvalid]

don't care for his 'personna' but this guy would be up there with hendrix, jeff beck, zep's j page, dickey betts, clapton(early days), john mcgloughlin(sp?)et al, but stevens lacks 'soul'. part of being soulful: playin sloppy and slower sometimes:nuance.

And no, i don't even think of Slash as being in the top 37,327 guitar players, cause his momma got him into the music business....case closed, bang goes the gavel, i'm right, your wrong, i win you lose, etcetera ad infinitum.....

[timrob62]

Agreed. I can barely watch guys like this. He may or may not be a great player. Can't tell from this. Honestly, I reserve judgement as far as his playing goes. Nothing here is very difficult to play, but beyond that, the guy impresses me as a typical L.A. dick.

[alwaysblank]

Typical LA dick? He grew up in NY. Keep reserving your all important 'judgement' on Steve. We await your opinion with bated breath.

[wfllchief]

listen to day of the eagle from memory crash cd or voodoo chile from him on youtube and you will probably say you were mistaken about his soulfulness

[punkrockefeller]

he smokes?

[oldaxekid]

Check him out with the Vince Neal Project, Atomic Playboys, his Flamenco Videos....it all smokes....hear him jackin' the knobs on his delays and mods in the middle of a solo....the guy is a radical phenom !!!

[ArgentinoMattia]

impressive....

[bathory777]

Awesome Vid - superb guitarist - The more you listen to him the more he inspires you!!! And so cool! Id be happy just to be his guitar tech

[bettencourt27]

he was the only one reason why i was there! Idol should be ashamed!

[shaynebraid]

Steve Stevens is amazing

[samborac46]

wich song does he plays at 1:23?

[sykop8ntballer]

Hey Lady, by Led Zeppelin.

[videosenders]

No it's Over the hills and far away

[Atomicbuckethead]

Over the Hills and Far Away

[furlong08857]

hey lady by led zepplin

[zamardii12]

This guy is 50 years old... and he probably gets more pussy than all of us put together... lol.

[lintball]

and that's exactly why. men are more attractive to women the older they get..because they have money,skills,knowledge,etc..

women are more attractive at a young age because men want sex lol..

[TheDistortionist]

Eloquently put.

[motleycrue24]

@lintball well milfs are still good too

[stangoodvibes]

speak for yourself, I'm drowing in it

[produkkt3d]

@zamardii12 hit the nail right on the head my friend :P

[bunsomatic]

@zamardii12

He is 50 years old?? Shut up! You are kidding? Right??

♫♫♫♫♫

[BDFPA]

@bunsomatic He's actually 51

[jimmyleppard6]

@zamardii12 and you know why is that, sucker? because he is on the stage and fucking rocks and you are sitting in front of your computer all day or most of the time.

[buugiman78]

@zamardii12 Well, this comment clearly shows you aint ;-) Fucking looser...

[zamardii12]

@buugiman78 Wtf is your problem? I was giving him a comment you idiot.

[buugiman78]

@zamardii12 Yes, but you are still pathetic... 

[AAV360]

this is the first time i hear this guy, and im already in fucking love haha.

[micanut48]

Never heard Billy Idol before? That's where he kicked the door open with his special, almost chronometr like but dynamic guitar work....

[Elling2712]

slash smokes onstsage as well

[DeathMetalUnderKing]

damn..he plays good..like his style.

[GringoJet]

Smoking on stage . . . great example . . . of the the big stupid? You smell like S**t, bad breath, and . . . lung cancer to boot.

[Ignitionnet]

His breath, his lungs. Some old school rockers actually live and breathe the lifestyle instead of just trashing the occasional hotel room or making the occasional 'controversial' comment when their publicists tell them to.

[BINGBONGGG]

Who fucking cares... is your computer on mute? I doubt if your listening you even notice hes smoking.

[1029ron1029]

so what if he smoking??

[TaCoSrOkMe]

Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck all smoked on stage, just to name a few, it happens...get over it...

[1029ron1029]

eddie van halen too....he use to pot he's sigure on the head of he's guitar...

[marko89kv]

hey, fuck you, why do you care if he smokes? he's a great guitar player, he can shoot heroin in his dick if he wants to, why should you, me or anybody care about that?

[GringoJet]

OK guys . . . Holy cow . . . go smoke yourselves to death . . . I like this guy too . . . though he needs a pic to sound fast . . . sorta like smoke & mirrors . . . wops . . . there I go again. Good god . . . calm down . . . by the way . . . has anybody received their mule and 40ac from Obama yet?  Still wait'n for mine . .

[bluaresix]

I remember...Zeppelin - Over the Hills and Far Away

[bluaresix]

What is the title of the song he plays the melody to at 1:21?

[zipfiklatscha87]

i love this part so much 0:36

[SilentKnight37]

incredible

[jordyr77]

Over The Hills and Far Away!!

[lingyissporto]

awesome guitarist,,,,,love his stuff

sporto

crimes in graceland

[leanintolife]

Wow. What a great acoustic solo...

Billy Idol was my first hero. Back in the days:)

[versierterXXL]

steve stevens is one of my favourites

[psycho256]

godin acs <3

[MPOplusPSP]

is he somoking? man, talk about multi-tasking.

[msstevie1951]

Anybody remember Steve Stevens on Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" he made that song totally! Check it out,he is one of the greatest I've ever heard with such a broad spectrum of stlyes of playing, check out Billy Idol w/Steve.I think he could make any song #1 by just playing with the singer! LOVE HIM!!

[toshredornottoshred]

That wasnt Steve Stevens on Dirty Diana, it wasnt even a guy. . . It was a female guitarist called Jennifer Batten

[psycho256]

wrong. Jackson hired steve

[toshredornottoshred]

please elaborate, dont just say WRONG . . I've seen several pieces of footage showing jennifer Batten playing Dirty Diana. . not least the main one being the video for the song. . .

[WaistMyThyme]

Steve Stevens is clearly visible in the Dirty Diana music video playing the guitar alongside Michael. Maybe you need to wear glasses.

[WaistMyThyme]

And all you have to do is google "Steve Stevens + Dirty Diana" to see that he wrote and recorded the song. Steve said in an interview how Michael was a super perfectionist and how he got the phonecall asking him to write with him, hearing Michaels timid voice down the phone.

[toshredornottoshred]

I dont need glasses, Steve is visible in the video with black hair, and Jennifer Batten is visible with Blonde hair. Stevens plays on the recording, and Batten played it live on the "Bad" and "Dangerous" tours. . . try googling "dirty diana jennifer batten" . . . Its not a competition, we are all searching for the truth dude.

[xr3n3g4d3x]

Whoa! did he really just play OTHAFA!! Even I can play that!

[marsoopie]

It's worth noting that when Billy Idol began to gain popularity in the late 70s with Gen X, he called Led Zeppelin tired "old farts", yet today Steve Stevens, while on tour with Idol, inserts some Zeppelin in his guitar solos. Good example of how people can grow to appreciate something that they perhaps disliked at one time. Good show to Misters Idol and Stevens!

[backslash68]

He did the solo on a nylon-string guitar... how cool is that?

[bobiluba]

if you think this is cool... watch Yngwie Malmsteen

[gre1990]

bah! this guy doesnt need to play as fast as he can to show his skills...malmsteen is all speed speed and speed, which is not badm but its just not my style

[bobiluba]

i respect that... you like his style better (Y)

[dintubmongo]

If you think Yngwie is ALL about speed the you don´t know very much about him and music in general, which is sad...

[gre1990]

i know a lot abot malmsteen...after hearing him one week you can memorize all of his patterns...he has a very nice sense of theory...but he uses more to impress than to create something memorable

[topjimmy72]

all jokes aside.. i saw steve stevens play the other night in asbury park, NJ and he was hands down the best rock guitarist i've ever seen live.

[rymeryme]

agreed!! seriously!! awesome!

[topjimmy72]

since when did Nikki Sixx start playing guitar!?

[Pekegrrrl]

...omg kill yourself.

[falco8989]

at 1:23 he starts playing Over the Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin

[rymeryme]

yeah

i was like, hang on a sec isn't that led zep?

[sweetjaneb]

I think it's Over the Hills and Far away?

[jimmaya]

you are correct

[barefootinthewoods]

Just stunning. The man is a master. Nuff said .....

[metroidfan]

lol did u guys see the last part? he hid his guitar so nobody could copy the sounds he made! what a rip off!

[moosepoop69]

your dumb

[CLASHCITY1972]

He just run his fingers beyond the 22nd fret..He wasn't hiding anything - it's called SHOWMANSHIP !! It sounds impressive to regular fans, who cares about what guitar heads wanna see ? If you want to copy the sounds he makes just practice like fuck for 20 years. Join forces with and co write with a major artist. Study Flemenco, Rock n Roll, Jazz, Metal and Punk then blend it into a style of your own..at any point in the process if you lack creativity it is game over !! Steve has that creativity

[HUTUMAGIC]

now i have to listen to led zepplin lol

[xPoisonHartx]

This song was fucking awesome live! Saw him live this last weekend in Reno best show I have seen in yrs since i saw Orgy live. Will always remember that reno show

[littlewingadnerb]

Steve Fuckin Rocks Live and if u havent seen it live u have no F In clue!!!!!!!!

[CoolNaruto72]

i agree with you he f rules he kicks ass i just went to a billy idol concert idolize yourself at seattle

[littlewingadnerb]

Went to see them for the second time just this weekend in Reno!! Always put out their best and rock with the crowd, and you can still afford tickets! Best of all if you check into Steve' s fundraisers and donations and all the people he helps, I know youd be impressed, man has a huge Heart. Check out his My Space. There some on there now. I have always thought he was amazing seen him lots in the bay in the 80's early 90's.He's always doing something new to keep your attention.

[bernhardtsen74]

He has rocked on the guitar since Billy Idol!!!

Still very fucking underrated!!!

[Macovic]

you're right

[quinsboypotter]

Wow

[wljnj]

jony ovaj ubija

[AMIEL7777]

This guy is coming for a fucking electryfing Rock to a crazy amazing and tasteful acoustic music! Genious!! one of the best intergalactical GTR Players!

[oooowwwwdddd]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RockNRollJellyBeans]

Steve is such an incredible, talented guitarist! I love him!! Thanks for this!

[BigCarpFoxRiver]

what song is he playing? sounds incredible.

[x94hoursxx]

started as Over the hills and far away by led zeppelin then its just his solo i think

[SabuPtolemy]

It's a piece called 'Dementia' off his 'Flamenco A Go-Go' solo album, interspersed with 'Over the Hills...' by Zep. Do yourself a favor and pick up FAG-G - it's absolutely mindblowing!!!

[Coolness127]

I'm sorry but thats a terrible acronym =p

[SabuPtolemy]

Not if you're English. ;-)

[stevieVantanna]

thats a prop cigg.

[summersurfb]

damm u rock!!

[deansingh]

This guy rocks!

[stevieVantanna]

thats a fake cigg

[Raymondey]

You mean cigarette? No, it was real :)

[lucasgerrard08]

This guy is playing the intro of Over the Hills and Far Away from Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. Maybe he is a fan of the great Jimmy...

[scrimmy82]

Scounds like Spanish Romance a bit and then a bit of Canon lol

[Pierrezizou]

hes a formidable guitar player, but i hate him

[nobunaga1231]

are you retarded, listen to him you fag he's freaking amazing

[simonking195]

satriani pwns him

[Pierrezizou]

im not saying he's not

i just say i dont like him thats it

[joeytruelove]

I would put your line down to the possibility of you having a somewhat limited vocab. Hate is a rather strong word used anywhere. "He's not for me" or similar might be what you're after. That said, although a fan of his, I'm not into Steve's flamenco stuff.

[rongravy]

damn steve makes that shit look easeh!!!!!!!!!

[auginator14]

By far, one of the most influental and underrated guitarists of the 80's and 90's. Listen to Vince Neil's solo album, fuckin kicks ass. Great tone, everything just on. Very talented dude.

[rongravy]

truly, but i didnt know he did vince neil's album. steve is a gawd. there is no better. that thing is like an extention of himself!!!

[jurgemaister]

Yeah, I know. The solos he delivers.. My god, he could play besides George Michael and still make it sound cool.

[Pedro1277]

led zeppelin....over the hills and far away.

[zabatiz]

If I am not mistaken the first part of this song is from Run Across Desert Sands, on Steve's Atomic Playboys project.

[MaganRocks]

anyone who thinks Steve is using a digital delay etc, are dead wrong. I have seen him perform this solo piece 2 times and he has an amazing right hand picking technique. He always says in interviews that his influences for this style are Al DiMeola John McLaughlin. There are no tricks here, just pure incredible picking.

[enickma]

uhhhhh ...... sorry charlie. There's so much reverb in this you could float the titanic. It takes nothing away from him being a fantastic player, but Steve would tell you the same thing

[William9422]

After i while i plays the intro to zeppelins "Lady" or something

[William9422]

In a interview Stevens did in the 80´s or something, he said that songs without vocals sounds like backing tracks. And now he just produce music without vocalists:-o:-o:-o

[dlchambers]

Stevens certainly doesn't get his due. The guy's got a really interesting and unique style - I love listening to his stuff.

[cloverfield1818]

Im gonna make a hage statement and say that steve is the greatest guitar player of all time.

[ranjeetamatharu]

i agree iv been thinkin that since 1985....

[seoulsimon]

of course he's playing a bit of 'Over The Hills And far Away' there.

[djkfdhfhl]

HA HA!!!:)

[Rammstein347]

This solo has a fragment from the song called "Dementia" from album "Flamenco a Go-Go"

[WoodSkullz]

Steve Stevens and Billy Idol = something very unforgettable and incredible.

[tometalhead]

is this an actual song or just a solo?? if so, what is the song called please!

[Raymondey]

Just solo

[KSFALLGUY]

raymondey have you seen mattrach on the tube? this 16yr old, is very good, 34 plus videos if you like hot guitar!

[FreddyBonesz69]

he is amazing . steve and satch should let this guy do a g3 with them . steve stevens blew me away with the exposed album . if noone here has it you have to check it out man . alot of people dont like the stuff like I do like motley from the but this dude made an amazing album with vince you got to respect that, cause as a crue fan that introduced me to his music . great guitarist .

[jtomasik]

One of the most under-rated rock guitarists.

[ls1phsyco]

his Dirty Diana with Michael Jackson Solo is Awesome!!!!

[nydrumstixchick]

I loved this live back in 2006...gotta see him again soon!

[mustxgetxout]

yea i agree kirk hammet isn't that great randy rhoudes is the best metal guitarist and i love what steve stevens does with this zepplin song you people know that's what he was playing from right? lol anyways yea i love steve stevens another great underated guitarist billy corgan and bradley nowell

[merfissa]

Steve & Nuno. Both underrated and unappreciated.

[RokDAWG1]

I totally agree!!

[vivaelrock87]

INCREIDABLE!!!!!!!

[skidrow75]

great guitarist--very underrated.

Kirk Hammett-- very overrated

[shagr14]

rofl, so true....
