    When I saw him play the unplugged set with Billy Idol, I realised that Steve Stevens is hugely underrated - his ability to play multiple parts simultaneously is just brilliant.

    Steve Stevens is a monster player. Period. He and Billy idol belong on every single shortlist of greatest singer/axeslinger duos of all time.
    My favorite quote about Steve Stevens came out of one of the guitar mags back in the day. During a studio visit where Steve was recording the first Atomic Playboys record, the writer of the article commented that he heard the most incredibly precise, machine gun like rhythm playing he had ever heard. Every strike was perfect and in perfect time.
    That kind of rhythmic precision and excellence, to me, really describes a core element of Steve's playing style.

    Here’s an example of why Steve Stevens is great: In a decade, when every rock guitarist wanted to be soloing ala Eddie Van Halen gymnastics, (and Steve has the chops also), he takes an 18 bar solo in White Wedding , instead of blowing, develops a very simple, but beautiful, weaving, melodic part, which resolves like a satisfying end to a movie. That instrumental guitar part cut through the noise on the radio and holds up great through time. Dude was smart.

I know he wasn't always with Billy Idol. Played with others like Vince Neil and Michael Jackson. I remember also having Atomic Playboys. But.. it just never really blew up for him.

    I could never in all honesty designate you the Greatest.
    For me it was Jimi Hendrix , Sfevie Ray Vaughan , Jeff Beck , Eric Clapton etc etc.
    There have been so many.
    Bless you Mr Talent supreme .

    You are up there with them.
    Appreciation of each individual varies from day to day.
