My spiritual moment with Steve Lukather

[Mikey]

I met Lucious at the concert in Hamburg on Wednesday! He's a very nice guy. My girlfriend and me were wearing printed shirts that read "Knucklehead calling Lucious!" and we were standing in the first to second row. During the keyboard solo passage he went off the stage to dry his sweat and chat with his tech. Suddenly he realized us and what was written on our shirts and came over to welcome us! He gave my girlfriend a hug and shook my hand! What an honour! After the show he signed the electronic backplates of my two EBMM Lukes.

So lucious, if you read this maybe you remember us. I would like to thank you for a great, great show with outstanding music. Keep on rockin' and keep an eye on your health so we can see you a lot more times on stage!

By the way, say thanks to Steve Weingart for the little chat we had and for being such a normal and humble person!

Thanks a lot lucious!

cool story Mikey! Luke is very down to earth

[Mikey]

Thanks Colin. Yes, indeed he is!

[Lucious]

ALWAYS great to see any Knucklehead out here! Thanks for the great vibe and thanks for coming to the show.
I am having a great time and really proud of my band and crew and MANY thanks to the people coming out to see me. There are 1000 people on tour now and I am doing real good for an old guy. hahaha Thanks to you all!
Hope to see you again sometime and to the rest of you.. Happy 4th or just have a f-ing great day!
Lucious

Been surfing in HI for the last 10 days...stunned to hear the news about Tyler...Maybe F***er will give him his own signature $199 Chinese Star***ter?!. I have a friend who has been working over there for some time now...to him it is just a J-O-B...NOT something he is proud to be working with/for...When I tell him about the vibe that BP and all the EBMM folks lay out, he looks at me like I am in dire need of a random drug test. Tyler is very talented, but as Luke so aptly stated "youth is wasted on the young" He'll learn soon enough that the folks at F***er will forget his name and face as soon as the next 10-year-old phenom comes along.

Lucious, glad to hear the tour is going so well...I can't wait for the U.S. dates..you are such an amazing musician, and amazingly normal? person...thanks for posting, and giving us knuckleheads even more reason to brag about our affiliation with EBMM.

I've sold at least one JP, and one or two Lukes to SWA F/Os who previously were considering Paul R**D Smiths. I had a long conversation yesterday to the Hawaiian Airlines Captain who flew me from Hilo to Honolulu about the benefits of MM ownership. (his "musician's friend" mag was open to a PRS page)
I, like many forumites, am always on the front lines, talking up the cool factor of being one email away from BP and his awesome staff. Thanks BP, not only for introducing me to so many of my favorite musicians, but also for being such a great person. Sorry for the creep... -Capt. Don

More Luke!

Gotta echo my sentiments on "The Truth" from ECT. I have not heard a more moving piece from Luke. It raises the hair on my neck and back every time I listen. THAT is what a truly great artist does through music.

Praying for an ECT tour date in DFW.....please!

Well all i can say is a BIG thanks goes out to BP and the whole EBMM team for being a great company and putting out some of the best instruments i have ever played, and i have played almost everything out there...To bad on the decision Tyler made that just means more EBMM guitars for the rest of us....Lucious would love to see you around Texas soon, and congrats on your success.

Well...I was there! What an evening it was!! That has been one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life! Great setlist, fantastic sound, high and very positive energy on the stage, a lot of jamming, absolutely amazing musicans (Carlitos and Eric - you guys rules!!) and of course - LUKE.... I can't find proper words to describe his tone, playing, personality. LUKE is a MAN! We drove 750 km to see him and his band but believe me - it was worth!!!!
Greetings from POLAND to you, LUKE! It was very nice to have a small talk with you after the show (you promised to come to POLAND next year - remember?!). Thank you so much for a photo with you (me and my wife Monika are superhappy because of that!). You are such a kind guy... We wish you all the best in your solo career! We are waiting for you here in POLAND! See you!
And please - DO NOT EVER STOP PLAYING!



Dreams come true!
