What is the price of fame? As music fans, we look at our heroes, often with envy. We see the fancy cars, the big houses and, most importantly, the awesome guitars and gear that they can afford on a whim. The girls. Or guys. The tours and the lights… but, all too often, there’s a dark side. Drugs. Alcohol. The musician we will be talking about today was a consummate musician. Classically trained. Versatile. Melodic. And in one of the biggest rock bands of the 1980s, who were literally ruling the charts and the arenas with millions of records sold and packed worldwide tours. But the price of fame might have too high, and it swallowed him up and made him yet another guitarist who left us way too soon. Today, we’re going to look at Steve Clark of Def Leppard, next, on Forgotten Fretmasters.
