Steve Stevens - Billy Idol - Tribute to Led Zeppelin Solo - Hammerstein Ballroom Sept 15, 2010

Steve is very talented and versatile. As far as flamenco style..no kidding..have you ever heard Charo? You might be amazed how good she was. Steve rocks in his own right. Don't compare him to Page or Beck..he's Steve

And we are all in rock bands then with shit loads of money and women and talent? just enjoy the music, I would like to play a 1/4 of what this chap can play, come to think of it, I wish I could play.

Any guitar hero can go out and play a solo shredding on a high-gain distorted electric guitar - Steve has the balls to do it on a nylon string guitar

[MsDiva15551]

Steve is absolutely amazing ! He is one of the BEST! in the World!<3

Why do people have to be rude when discussing a subject. We are all entitled to an opinion and it's good that we can offer different perspectives to each other. It is pitiful that one person can, for example call another person a moron simply because they disagree with them on a harmless subject. I see this so much that I get the impression that the average intelligence (emotional and intellectual) of a human being is very slight indeed. At least have a heart and be kind to each other.

ok so he can play more than the billy idol stuff and he's showing it here

- he isn't better than anyone else,he's just surprising us by not being simple. you kinda' haveta' believe that page or beck can do spanish in their sleep (&)do it better. let's not temporarily lose perspective from witness'ng a unique moment.

@JohnAllanification Dude,I'm a gitar player,and believe me,you couldnt be more wrong.This guy eats Page for breakfast.Jimmy cant play that well anymore,and even when he was younger and at his best,he didnt have chops like Steve Stevens has.As for Jeff Beck,he is still a great guitar player, but Jeff Beck couldnt play like this if his life depended on it. Give credit where credit is due.

[timothypaulking1]

who knew Anthony from Anthony and the Johnsons played guitar so well!

[jaluman]

Y'all act like this is amazing. ANY classical player can play this. I like Steve Stevens but calling him one one of the best because he riffs on a minor/major pentatonic and riffs some BS Zep shit? Honestly. Go see Billy Idol because he was in Gen X and played with Tony James, not because he plays with Steve. Yawn. Cum already Steve.

[ghost250673]

@jaluman shut up you idiot......anyone who knows anything about playing the guitar and the masters of playing it know that Steve Stevens is one of the great guitar players, highly underated.

[jaluman]

@ghost250673 Expand your horizons and lose the attitude...

[ghost250673]

@jaluman I have been playing the guitar since i was 6. Im now 38, i know a little bit about the subject........go away please you moron

[ValenciaFan1]

@ghost250673 Totally true, Stevens should be regarded as one of the legends!

[TheMrcrowned]

@jaluman yes, any good classical player can play this, but do they? steve stevens is great not only because of this video, that shows in fact a great atittude anda a provides great entertainment, but because of everything he plays, if you've already watched billy idol's storytellers you know what i'm talking about.

[zappafile]

@jaluman can you name a classical player that plays with a pick? He is using Flamenco techniques also not strictly classical. He is a great song writer with a highly respected career and an amazing ROCK guitar player who decided to expand his repertoire to include some sounds not associated with rock. Trying to invalidate peoples opinion on youtube is fruitless anyway as it is purely subjective. Lastly, your contribution to the world would be........???????

[MrLatour48]

WOW !!!!!!!

[allisonnova1]

great flamenco performance bravo!!

[spicecrop]

wish he would play that on a real acoustic guitar. would sound so much richer. nice playing.

[VictorIdol]

He's one of the absolute best guitar players in the world!

<3
