Count me as one more who believes that Stevens is likely the most under appreciated musician today. There are few as talented, studied and experienced as him, and few as humble. He has my respect.
Ultimately one of the best guitarists ever. Such a crisp clean sound and he makes it look effortless. God Bless You Steve and Thank You for the amazing guitar playing that made the song.
Gotta love Steve. Look all these drug related comments are stupid! He's kept his career going and still playing! Anybody (as I know) can't keep a career going. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Stevens in the 80's when he and Billy idol were all over the place, and he despised drug culture. Here's a good one, I was a bellman at a hotel in AZ when the Entourage stayed there, I went up to his room to meet him, he said "you play guitar?) I said "yes". He said play me something, he had his Barney rubble hamer guitar. I jammed some licks " totally intimidated" but he said "cool"! I thought this guy has met with so many people like me, but when I was leaving he " what was that cool riff you were jamming on" ? It was a old Albert king riff. He said " that's freaking cool" ! And I showed him how I did it. Totally a moment in my life. He's a great guy and musician. God bless him.
i learn stuff from beginners all the time like this. they take lessons im self taught and they always have some tricks other players invented that i have yet to learn. ive been playing 40 years and still learn from the newest players.
Steve is consistently the best overall guitar player for live and studio work, as his knowledge base is unbelievable and his onstage sound presence is just surreal not to mention his songwriting and riff ability think Top Gun and Harold Faltemeyer....Steve does it all..Rock/ Classical/Synth-Guitar and backing Keyboard Sounds ....if I had to hire one guitar player....Steve Steven's...Period..😃😃😃
Steven Stevens is one of the greatest guitarists I have ever heard I still can't believe the voodoo he does on that guitar and I'm sure any musician would be flattered to have him do a version of their songs!!!
Steve Stevens Band featuring Gus G playing “Whole Lotta Love”❤️ Live @ Musikmesse Frankfurt, Germany 08.04.17 Enjoy 😊 It looks like they had a lot of fun! Gus G is the best Greek Guitar player in the world!🎸😎🤘🏻-Moderator-🤘🏻😎🎸
Even though Gus has his own style and way of playing rock and heavy metal, which is godlike, would love to see him play Led Zeppelin inspired tunes from time to time.
I've said this before, Steve's idol Eddie Van Halen plays great guitar. Steve Stevens plays great SONGs on his guitar, if I had just 1% of his ability.
Steve needs no introduction really. On vince neils"exposed" kicked everybody's ass(just one example). As a proud Greek i feel so good that a guy who speaks only through his work, got the exposure and recognition he deserves..gus g!!!!!!!!!!
It was obvious that Mr Stevens is a vastly talented guitarist, certainly compared with the guy alongside him in this clip, who himself was not bad. Stevens plays with finesse without histrionics, and gets a great tone with ease.
'Fingers' may not get the global big management merchandising and marketing of the most over rated guitarist I have ever seen in Hudson/Slash, and he is the NIKE of 'Mad Men' marketing, but Steve has won a Grammy for fucks sake and has been playing brilliant and extremely versatile guitar for decades. Hudson was still in high school when SS was making the world aware of what he had. His relationship with God, sorry the late EVH includes one of the truly nicest stories I have heard. Steve was doodling away one day on stage sound check with one of Eddie's guitars, Eddie saw him and said to Steve "oh you like that one eh"? Some time later Steve was at home when a truck rocked up and inside were EVH guitars and amps. S small factual story but one that shows how deep their connection was, and how even the greatest knew SS was the shit.
They did a great job, a lot of people think, it should be as the recording. If they did it perfectly it wouldn't be live, it would be on cd as a cover.
Wow I thought I was the only one who thought they ruined it until I saw the comments below...they are great musicians, but I was yearning to see and hear the real Zeppelin there... feeing sad after the song
i like the friedman amp better than the black star friedmans kick ass and steve stevens is just awesome not really a fan of gus but he did ok im more of an 80s and 70s rock type of guy so thats why i gravitate towards steve stevens more my style

#MeToo (crap, I didn't want to be a link, just a funny statement)
Steve Stevens will never get the credit he deserves as a guitar player.
You are so f---ing right. He is a great guitarist. He is one talented son of a bitch.
Who says he doesn't get the credit he deserves?
He deserves all my attention and admiration! Great player and teacher!
Yeah, he will always be the guy that played for Billy..Much for than that
Right !!😢
Ultimately one of the best guitarists ever. Such a crisp clean sound and he makes it look effortless.
God Bless You Steve and Thank You for the amazing guitar playing that made the song.
I love Steve's playing, his riffs made Billy Idol's songs.
100% agree🎸
Totally agree

That's so awesome. Steve is one of the good ones for sure.

What a great memory. Good on ya!

New school vs old school. Gus' sound is so tight whereas Steve's is dirty and all over the place. Love'em.
Steve rocks
4:03 It's just me or you can hear an angelic chorus when Steven plays that part of the solo?
Breathless!
That was an epic performance !!
I love Gus G’s guitar!
Nice form and looks badass!
Awesome video
Steve.....O´yeah 🙂
that guy Perez on vocals did a great job ! He kept it close to the original, but threw in his own style too - very cool.
Fucking awesome!
Best version yet.. Steve rocks hard

They make it look so easy.
Even though Gus has his own style and way of playing rock and heavy metal, which is godlike, would love to see him play Led Zeppelin inspired tunes from time to time.
Gus G ❤️ κωσταρα είσαι ο καλύτερος!!
Bring this show to Atlanta and I will be there.
I've said this before, Steve's idol Eddie Van Halen plays great guitar. Steve Stevens plays great SONGs on his guitar, if I had just 1% of his ability.
My god
Would be nice if Video matched Audio
Gus was the man in this action adventure 🤟🏻
Great to see them pay homage to The Hammer of the Gods
Steve needs no introduction really. On vince neils"exposed" kicked everybody's ass(just one example). As a proud Greek i feel so good that a guy who speaks only through his work, got the exposure and recognition he deserves..gus g!!!!!!!!!!
😎🇬🇷
Rock on
It would be nice if the sound matched the video.
Plant is perhaps the hardest to nail.
I smell something in here .... It must be Steven Stevens cause he's the SHIT !!!
Listen to Stevens, Bozzio, Levin.
👏👍💐
Is that Ricky Martin on vocals?! That said, both Steve Stevens and Gus G are GREAT rock guitarists! World class!
AudiophileTubes
Only one is .... And it ain't Kenny G .......
Kick Ass !
It was obvious that Mr Stevens is a vastly talented guitarist, certainly compared with the guy alongside him in this clip, who himself was not bad. Stevens plays with finesse without histrionics, and gets a great tone with ease.
Cool...😎🤙🤘
SS is a genius
Great quality on this recording. Sharp, clear and great audio. What camera do you use?
Kodak
Why the singer sings towords Stevens at the beginning? Why?
I wish he didn’t smoke. Want him around a long time.

Man listen to Monie Monie live.
I loved everything but the vocals,did they have a substitute sound guy?
Keep it cooling baby.
Όταν ο αριστος συναντάει τον GUS G.
Gus guitar looks cool, sounds like his tone is turned off?
You had me till the weedly weedly weedly nonsense.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👑👑👑
Is that Frankie Perez singing?
amazing my cover led zeppelin next
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Seriously Steve, fair fukn dinkum
Guitar 'duels' are so TEDIOUS.

Thats epic as f%$#. Singer couldn't hit some notes. And where was the trademark wah slide?
Wow I thought I was the only one who thought they ruined it until I saw the comments below...they are great musicians, but I was yearning to see and hear the real Zeppelin there... feeing sad after the song
I recommend a cup of warm cocoa.
Vocalist was pretty good.
he has never called himself "Steven Stevens". ever.
Thx trans men
Sound / picture are about 30 seconds out of sync.
...the moment you realize the dorky guy introing the song is actually the singer
I think randy wd have donebit proper player he song do solo in song
i like the friedman amp better than the black star friedmans kick ass and steve stevens is just awesome not really a fan of gus but he did ok im more of an 80s and 70s rock type of guy so thats why i gravitate towards steve stevens more my style
