Steve Stevens Solo

[brianbela]

Wow,he's better on Nylon string than he is on electric guitar by a mile.Excellent chops.

[brummiedaz]

awwwwwwww, stevie.... again, has to be some thing like a piece of crap guitar and a baaaaaad soundman tryin to hold ya back. would love to see stevens at the helm of something one day hes always been my all time fave performer.

[MrObviousToo]

If I'm not mistaken the is from his stuff from Bozzio Levins Stevens which really really showcases his talent a lot more than any of his other stuff. Try listening to Chaos Control by BLS you can find it here on YouTube.

[peppino1961]

Totally underrated & better than most rock guitarists out there today.

[ANDYB1478]

Unbelievable playing!

[aaronbergAPB]

Killer player and Amp Guru. Many players have used his gear to record their albums.

[Fabinaror]

hammer GEIL :)

[TheDzeljana]

Ja sam zaljubljena u Vas...:)

[euforia51]

This guy is one of my favorite rock guitarists of all time. He is amazingly under-rated, rarely discussed, and like Billy Idol or not, his work on Billy Idol's music is as fabulous and tasty as it is devine. He is a true student of the instrument ... which is what makes him great. Thanks for uploading!

[ittdust]

@MultiAsdsadsa Calling someone the best at anything is obviously opinion of that person, not as if I'm stating a fact that can actually be compared and measured. So your whole reply was a waste of time and made you look like a prick.

[WildChampagne]

This is really great!!!!

[ninthsymphony1000]

SS.... amazing! Years back, the King of Pop, MJ.. and Steve Stevens on Dirty Diana... also amazing.

[ittdust]

The Best. 

[iade38]

he's underrated because he play a lot of bad music, he's not steve Vai !

[Zeppelinfan25]

@iade38 Fuck Steve Vai

[dataghost196]

@iade38 it's not like Steve Vai is @ the top of the heap...LOL

[neoexotica]

@dataghost196

Steve Vai will always be one of the best, face it, as soon as someone's popular suddenly they become hated.

[dataghost196]

@neoexotica what are you saying exactly??

[neoexotica]

@dataghost196 Well It looks like you were basically saying Steve Vai isn't that good no?

[mangore623]

Hmmmm...he is very a very talented with an electric guitar. Sadly, his (quasi) flamenco technique leaves everything to be desired: a flamenco guitarist, or classical guitarist, can run circles around Steve Stevens any day of the week.

[Beavis1144]

@mangore623 Why is that?

[shai1909]

2:49 forever

[extradutyfelt1]

monster peformance! what a talented player..

[LORDGOAT1976]

One of my faves on Guitar, also can play without a pick, Mark Knopler was good at that so was Lindsy Buckingham.

[Tujuparandaja]

i guess these dislikes have come cause they can't just get enough of this solo and they can't walk away from computer anymore...:D

[DonDeretony]

Billy Idol LIVE 2006 (EXIT Festival) You have the entire concert, sure to check out ...I welcome all fans

[DonDeretony]

[pikachusDeMoN]

[urbancasbah]

[olahpeter78]

Hihetetlen, hogy milyen tudás és gyakorlat van benne.

[hbsupermage]

HIJO DE PUTA!!!!!!!!

[jarkanciofan]

@hbsupermage no hay mayor muestra de aprecio que un "Hijo de puta" en el buen sentido xD

[cyberpunk59]

after, he said" ah my hands are very hot"

[led96zeppelin]

he's even crying....that should tell you how much feeling he puts on the solo

[THECUPCAKESUGARPIE]

Steve Stevens is freakin' AWESOME, & SEXXXXXXAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!! XXX OOO XXX

[stratdem]

[Nubias]

It;s the fingernail polish...

[AVKtt]

WoooooooooooooooooW!

[FinkleInc]

this guy needs to take guitar lessons. im getting a spanish vibe here. This guy doesnt not look like a beaner. Come listen to my radical jams at coolinschoolrockyoursocks.thl.­us

[rodangib]

@FinkleInc Beaner? What kind of abusive and discriminatory language is that, bro? Yes, there's some sexy Spanish vibe in this clip, remember that the guitar as we know it comes from Spain. Some culture for you, you need it.

[Jamesisiah]

I like the little "rock " version of Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez 2nd Movement he does in the beginning.

[trinhex]

What's the song at 2:40?

[AuHessm]

is it from a concert in düsseldorf??

[andrethethrashe]

the harmonic minor got always his cool atmosphere... anyway Steve is a monster: great taste for melodies and solos,great dynamics,great playing,great tune,great riff maker.

[satchvanjohnson41]

Man, he's really underrated.

[sbrave]

@satchvanjohnson41 Most people have no idea what this guy can play...really play

[quibb666]

0:28

such a smug look... and rightly so xD

[sfballach]

Wow! What great pick control! Great posting there Tite

[bosszeroboss]

See, you can be talented and fat at the same time!!!

[simpleben09]

The mother fucker plays acoustic solos. If this guy played bass, i swear he would be even better than cliff burton

[sickassgonzo]

@simpleben09 one has to "like" the bass first-------people at that level of talent only touch what attracts them----------------steve is a guitar---------------but i am sure he could make a bass talk as well---lol!------same way cliff was a bass-----it was his thing

[simpleben09]

@sickassgonzo why----do----you----fucking---­-talk----like----this haha. But I'm just dude.

[dooshbayg]

@simpleben09 Nobody came close to cliff then or does anybody now, Cliff played straight from the fucking HEART . you must be like 9 years old. PEACE

[simpleben09]

@dooshbayg cool story bro

[moonwork2000]

Wow; incredible.

[xANAxBANANA]

[RomeiroNR]

Super guitarman! I have his autograph)

[ACoustaDC]

wow, I thought this guy was going to be a tool and a wank, but he is amazing and very talented. This is great. His wife on that TV show is also so freakin hot. she looks like she could keep your life... interesting. LOL to say the least!

[richieh1980]

Steve's a cross between Slash and Yngwie here

[leozin0077]

like spanish songs, rs

[mjames19993]

Tabs anybody?????? message them to me at honda1904@live.com

[ollthelek]

@mjames19993

I guess there aren't any tabs. I guess most of this solo is free style.

[Luckums135]

sounds kinda loke van halens spanish fly

[c0uchsl0uch]

ok, so i saw this guy the other day on a show called married to rock, and it showed him and his wife and there were playing lolaplooza, so what band is he in that would be playing lolapooza, dont say billy idol cause iknow he dont play that show

[freetruckin]

Nice...shame about the fag!haha

[p0rkjell0]

[Binglung]

[petrosonrocking]

@alfonsominnella playing over the hills and far away ='D

[jamesdodd64]

See...smoking is good for you.

[dpramirez66]

@jamesdodd64 Smoking is good for you because it turns you into a guitar playing beast like steve stevens. One puff.... And Bam.... Sexual Tyrannosaurus.

[NAILHEAD59]

@jamesdodd64

hahha awesome lol!

G

[ollthelek]

@jamesdodd64

[sickassgonzo]

@jamesdodd64 he smokes rarely----------it is not good for you

[jamesdodd64]

@sickassgonzo Wrong...I started smoking three weeks ago, now I can play the guitar too.

[guitargup]

@jamesdodd64 lmao!...lol haha...... cool

[dpramirez66]

[bucketheadshot]

Steve if you seen this video please be our next Guitar Hero!!!

[MsTurel]

muy buen solo

[peterpetersnbg]

him and billy like a nice fag ( cigerette)

[bigfefu]

hes a god, with the nikki sixx nose jajaja

god bless stevie

[headlesssoldier]

had no idea he was this good!

[ozturqa52]

I like this guitar .... :)

[Soldano88]

That was very different and unique.Thanks for the post!

[collinthamoose]

kinda reminds me of eddie van halen

[caramonmajere32]

@collinthamoose - only he's actually a good guitar player. Anyone can finger tap!

[josiahgust]

@caramonmajere32 If that's all you think Eddie did for the guitar....eh I don't feel like being an ahole, but that's a pretty ignorant statement. Even if he never tapped a single note he still would have been one of the greatest guitarists ever. If you look at his playing, how much of it is awesome and then at how small a % of that is actually tapping, you would be able to see that. Unfortunately, these days comments like yours are extremely common.

[IIItirlits]

epic

[tchintchinman]

rien a dire j ecoute

[Tomsemporium]

This man is a musical genius!

[fluffyrhinos]

Last night I was at his concert, he played parts of this solo behind his head and using his face. FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!!

[lovemymonsters]

Wow.. oh wow.. so amazing!! Smokin' a cigarette like it was nothin'... and 3 strings!!! I WISH I had that talent!!!!! BOWWWWWWWWWWW!

[smoothistkid12]

steve if you wanna be known around the world and i jknow you are one of the worlds best know guitarists but you have to play more awsome like slash and van halen and get more views and do ah solo on electric guitar.

[thedylsta]

He did this at a Billy Idol concert i went to last night

[craigsskeldon]

What's the tune at 4:15 its awesome but sounds so familiar

[SilentAce86]

@craigsskeldon over the hills and far away by led zeppelin

[fluffyrhinos]

@craigsskeldon That's Led Zeppelin's "Over the Hills and Far Away."

[foreveralive]

@craigsskeldon it's Led Zep's "Over the Hills and Far Away".

[bobbysbackingtracks]

It's the nailpolish.

[wackwitz]

One of the most underestimated Guitar Heroes for sure. I wonder if Billy Idol would´ve had his success without Stevens...

[midmike994]

the only question i have is....how did that guitar not burst into flames from the awesomeness?

[enahcs]

totally awesome...who uses acoustic guitars for solos? Steve, that's who!

[Titeketru]

Today Steve Stevens gave to my best friend a pics personnaly !!!!!!!!! He recognized her because he had send to her a dedicated photo 2 years ago .......... She was crying on the phone =') me too !

She is in Germany for Billy Idol's concert =D

(sorry if my english is bad i'm french ^^)

KISS EVERYBODY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTs <3

[TheTimooH]

@Titeketru I was on the concert <3

In Potsdam =D

[snackeater45]

@Titeketru Don't worry about your english i'l french too ! ^^

[clemixxx]

@Titeketru La chance :D

[Misticmyst73]

possibly the Phygian scale known as the spanish scale

[studly12q]

does anyone know what scale he is useing

[Mcpeno]

jesus christ i feel bad for talking shit about how sloppy his top gun solo was... i didnt know he was this good

[ParuIdol]

Simplemente unos de los mejores guitarristas del FuckIn WOrld!!! KEEP ROCKIN STEVE!!!

[mrbig71014]

Nikki Six copied his looks, and when he noticed he couldn't copy or even match Steve's playing, he went and bought a bass and became mediocre, but still better than he would've been on guitar compared to Steve

[SleazeGeneration]

@mrbig71014

yeahhhh thats...not how it happened

[bogi23100]

fuckin assome!!! :))))))

[SneepOfTheSilent]

he sont play on the acoustic suitar... its electric guitar by Godin Corporation. he only play without fuzz, its cleaon sound of Godin... I have this guitar...

[valentinHD]

perfect

[PigsFucker]

brunthroath6912 nobody compared nikki and steve

[brunthroath6912]

@PigsFucker Yes that comment is old and they were a few ppl talking about Steve Stevens stealing Nikki's look and comparing shit.

[individrus]

I saw him live yesterday...His shredding on acoustic was awesome, I still adore him

[cathal627]

Awesome!!!!

[yulbrenner]

One of the most consistently hard-working guys in the business.

[EurovisionBigFan]

Great! :D

This was on Exit festival, right?

[wfllchief]

Steve and Eddie jammed together in 1984 at the Namm show. Check out the video (Eddie Van Halen and Steve Stevens Namm 1984). At the 5:00 minute mark they trade leads. Steve matches Eddie's leads. Like him or not he's the REAL DEAL!

[MrJonneypro]

I always hate how when I say Steve Stevens, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani are some of the best guitar players ever, stupid people always talk about sell outs like slash, or talk about Jimmi Hendrix or any other big name. Like just because you know Eddie Van Halen played a sweet song in Eruption does not mean he is the Best guitar player ever, Steve and the previous mentioned are the real deals in Guitar players.

[crossbones07]

@MrJonneypro its all down to preference. just because you say they are the best doesnt mean they are. I actually much prefer slash, hendrix and eddie to stevens, vai and satriani but im not gonna say you're wrong because of it.

[VanKato70]

I LOVE THIS GUY ! ALWAYS HAVE SINCE THE 1980's ! Loved hos Solo Album also !

Keep Rockin STEVE !

[k77jones]

he smokes?

[ddNicKbb]

04:05 led zeppelin:D

[goffbum]

Yup, that guy can do whatever he wants, he's a super great picker. I didnt mean for my cigarette thing to get out of hand but I guess what I'm saying is I'm 71 and still playin gigs. Sadly I'm one the few left of my fellow guitarists. In the past 6 years over 20 have checked out because of the fuckin weeds. One was only 57, he just fell over dead. 99% were heart attacks.....Good luck boys

[goffbum]

Wow, he's so good.....hope he dont die a lung cancer....what a fuckin loss that would be............

[freeatlast1963]

@goffbum yeh me niether he should try the gum or patches

[TheJakub1994]

super

[localproducer]

Steve and Billy. A perfect match.

[skywatch007]

Awesome solo...Steve needs to leave the cigarettes for backstage. He sounds great, but looks like an idiot with the tampon hanging out him mouth.

[samborac46]

Fuck you & your anti cigarette act!

He can do what he wants - couse' he's Steve Stevens!

got that?

[mrADA]

@skywatch007  yeah

[grignyak]

@skywatch007 So lets hear YOU play then.... you need to leave the water in the pipes because you look like an idiot when you drink....and you need to leave the paper in the trees because you look like an idiot with toilet paper hangin out your ass. Steve Stevens is the greatest!

[iballiano]

He´s an amazing player, I´ve never heard of him till today, and I can´t believe such a good player is not well known by the world.

The classic and spanish guitar is something that requires specific formation and this goy has it. Amazing style and riffs, in both electric and classic guitars.

A GOD!!!!! ;)

[KonChul]

He even play'd for Michael Jackson. You can see him in the Dirty Diana video playing guitar next to Jackson.

[grignyak]

@iballiano I agree,.. he's my favorite player,.. but dude,.. to musicians,.. he's EXTREMELY WELL KNOWN. it's like do you know who Tom Nelson is?? no.. what the heck is wrong with you,.. you should have known he was the man who BUILT the cars for FAST AND FURIOUS,.. but you didn't know that because you aren't into cars,... but for car enthusiasts he is the top dog. you see my point?? have a sweet day,.. and you have great taste in music btw :)

[ivo352]

First class all the way!

[BAGGIAQUONA]

Uno Dei migliori chitarristi al Mondo ! Spero un giorno di vederti con Billy in concerto a FIRENZE Italia !

[dpramirez66]

Bitchin'!!!! I like how Steve Stevens can play Rock, and this.

[stoneislandrecords]

Beautiful

[budze4x4]

OMG, this guy is great.. !!!

[blasanana]

fucking AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[idlebhoy]

The man is a guitar God, how can people never have heard of him?, People of You Tube, We need to spread the word, Steve Stevens IS THE GUITAR PLAYER

[grignyak]

ahh Steve Stevens,..the Man!!!

[tmarnip]

Holy crap! This guy is awsome, never heard about him before, why is that!?!

[xtremegamer1888]

wat the fuck... i didnt even know this guy existed till i randomly stumbled upon his lesson. i thought this was gonna be some piece of shit double bend guitar solo from a billy idol song or sumthin but wat the fuck... this is fukin epic

[Matutt26]

I knew he was good. Now I know he is amazing! And he is playing on acoustic. You can't lie with an acoustic guitar. The truth is all there.

[indrazor1]

@Matutt26 It's not acoustic but electric classical guitar.

[Tomossj]

@Matutt26 well that is not real Acoustic guitar, but damn he is rly good player... My favorite...

[highintel]

@Matutt26 check out the 2010 Roseburg solo... He got better...haha.. He is a bad ass for sure.

[Sarajeva]

3:55 - 4:30 es de Jimmy Page?

[Gronim0]

@Sarajeva si! "over the hills and far away" fom Led Zeppelin's album Houses of the Holy

[8eenplus]

Whoa :O

[absolutchillout]
