Since the production of Toto's 1995 album Tambu, Toto and Steve Lukather worked together with WorldWest Communications for the design and artworks of the album sleeves. For this article we collected some background information about the artwork of Tambu and the following albums.
Robert Knight is a long time fan and buddy of Steve Lukather. As a photographer he worked with Luke on several Luke and Toto projects. Here's Roberts own story on Luke.
Steve Lukather and Toto have both had illustrious careers and Toto continues to tour heavily throughout Europe and beyond. Their work schedule is at time grueling and life on the road can take its toll. Steve talks candidly about the life of a rocker on the road and the ups and downs of the loss of a stable routine. That's here in the now - Steve also delves into the past for some more brutally honest and at times, hilarious insights into his career and life with Toto. Lukather: "If something's really successful people think it's great. It doesn't mean it's great it means the perception is, it must be great if millions of people are buying it. Millions of people buy shit too, doesn't mean it's great. And that shit is subjective."
Steve Lang made a long and deep interview for guitarhoo.com with Luke, right before he left for the Toto 2004 tour. Lukather on how he would like to be remembered: "HMM... I guess I just want people to say I was a nice guy with a good heart who was funny as fuck and a great father and husband and friend. Probably the same as anyone, and maybe I was a pretty good guitar player for a white guy. Hahaha."
Anybody can be a rock star. Shit, man, that's easy. Being a musician's hard.
On October 9th 2003 more than 250 Lukather fans and friends joined the launch of the new website SteveLukather.net in De Kleine Kunst in Hengelo.
Lukather: "When the record companies got all hip to ProTools, they went fuck it, we'll give you $50K and whatever you don't spend, you can keep. Which makes people greedy. So then they don't want to pay the "A" session guys. So they'll get some kid who has good ideas but who can't necessarily execute them well. And it doesn't matter because they can fix it all. It's a different era, man. The session scene is dead. It doesn't exist!"
