Classic Billy Idol song! RAYGUN thing is just for entertainment ;) I didn´t "play" it for real!

Stevens is so underrated. His riffs are giving Billy's songs so much energy. And Rebell Yell was one of THE best albums of the 80s for sure. Awesome performance, Juha.

The guitar press acknowledged Steve STEVENS' immense talents and important contributions to Billy IDOL's music (e.g., Steve STEVENS was featured on the cover of GUITAR WORLD numerous times); session work on Harold Faltermeyer's 'Top Gun Theme' and Michael JACKSON's 'Dirty Diana' ('Bad'). Outside the guitar community, Steve STEVENS doesn't get the recognition that he so deserves, much like Neal SCHON, Steve LUKATHER, Trevor RABIN,, Steve MORSE, et cetera. Mr. STEVENS is a monster talent and a humble individual.

for anyone wondering how he got the ray gun effect he just maxed the chorus pedal and pressed it on time that is the trick.

There are videos on you tube where he shows the toy ray guns that he modifies to make the effect and how he holds it next to the pick up.

Your playing is sublime as always; and your attention to detail(s) is surgical. This video is indicative of your immense musical and artistic talents; and equally, of your video editing talents. Simply put, your videos are brilliant. Your video editing style highlights the number of layers of guitar tracks featured on the original studio recordings; therefore, it further enhances my appreciation for a musician like Steve STEVENS and the amazing studio production on this song. I'm sure that you've made Steve STEVENS very proud. Thank you for sharing your many talents on KZread.

Steve Stevens knows how to serve a song ... there's technical players that can astound you with their pyrotechnics but if the song sucks then who cares. He is a great player. Now guitar playing has turned into a gymnastics excercise. There's always a moment for flash but it has tp be at the right moments. Steve knows when to serve up at that penache when appropriate.

Wow!👍perfect play!
