Former Toto Guitarist Bashes Rolling Stone, MTV

Give Steve a break. He's paid his dues and doesn't need to play nicey-nice when he feels cheated. He and the band are pretty decent guys in person, and can rock up a storm.

Amen Steve Lukather. A true lifelong musician who stayed true to his craft has the balls to speak the truth. Apparently everyone gets the joke but Rolling Stone. Cobain makes the list? Jeezus that is ridiculous. They got some if it right but as a whole that was the most laughable read I have had in a long time. Stand Lukather next to Keith Richards any day and see who gets smoked. Further proof how much the industry and publications hate "corporate rock" and wants to keep accomplished musicians and their bands nameless and faceless. Speaking of Corporate Rock, was Journey's Neal Schon on the list? Case closed.

will columbia records ever release toto career spanning box set sopposedly they have about 70 unreleased studio album leftover songs in the recortd vaults never released b sides demos live tracks thanks jon macvean

I totally agree with Lukather.

Lot's of magazines are a big joke. Now we get an honest opinion by a real 120% Musician! Not just some guy who thinks he knows alot about music. What those people of rolling stone maybe know very well is how to hype, and what the trends are a stuff. But real music and all it's musical aspects? Come on...90 percent of them don't know a single thing about what makes an artist really good.

It just makes me mad. Human Nature was originally a Toto song and Toto recorded it even with Michael Jackson. Nobody knows, at least so it seems. Lukather did Lionel Richie, Elton John, Cher, all those kind of stuff. They get like zero credit for it. Although in the music scene people respect them for all that ofcourse.

They should do a special about the band Toto. They have so many interesting stories to tell. I have read about them very often. But as a fan, you know alot. But other people should know about that too. MTV is garbage.

I just read the article in rolling stone. It is called "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time." With a pretentious title like that, you think they would have tried harder, it is a joke. Half the people on the list shouldn't be on there. They also have some great guitarists near the end of the list who should be higher (i.e. Pete Townshend and Eddie Van Halen). I agree with Mr. Lukather.

Chuck Berry and Keith Richards are in the top ten... that's frigging hilarious! Maybe the list is a joke?

Just off the top of my head, I can come up with a few people they left off the list. Django Reinhardt, Chet Atkins, and Ottmar Liebert.

Rolling Stone is so past it's prime

Bitterness and Balls, overall accurate comments. Rolling Stone has sucked for years! Best singers, Best guitarists, the only thing Rolling Stone is best at selling out! They Suck! Hunter S, and Lester Bangs are rolling over in their graves!

Steve Lukather is and always has been one of my fave guitarists, ever since I heard the solo from "Rosanna." What's the criteria for voting for players on this list anyway????? How many records sold???!!!!

Many music magazines, record companies, radio stations and the like think that society is nothing but a mess of dumb ass babies and will be happily spoonfed the crap they serve us. Guess what? Many of us have never bought into that type of frenzy. I totally agree with Steve and will tell you toto has been one of my favorites for many many years now. When are we going to wake up as a society and not accept everything we see/or hear? Thanks for sticking up for true talent Steve...you hit it on the right note.

WHY IS OBAMA A LOW-LIFE PIECE OF GARBAGE? Obama and the Democrats intentionally caused the recession to make the Bush Administration look bad in order to win the presidential election. That's right. Obama and the Democrats caused the collapse of the stock market, manipulated the unemployment figures, and forced banks to give out risky loans just to cause a recession in order to win an election. Obama used those who voted for him by playing them for fools and in effect stole from the American public through deception. He used and manipulated American voters as if they were garbage. Its all explained here in simple to understand terms: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,453086,00.html

I still subscribe to Rolling Stone, but Luke's got more credibility.
