Guitar heros
Wednesday 20 September 2006 11:32 by JR
You said many times that your heros are Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Harrison and so on... You also got to work with Jeff Beck at one point... I just wondered if you ever got to meet these "heros" you've mentioned as being so important in your (musical) life and how it was to finally be "face to face" with them?

Luke: All these players are so awesome and have inspired me more than words. Jeff Beck... I have known him and played with him many times. We did a record together that never came out 'cause he wanted to get into electronic music but he's a main influence and a great friend. Jimi... Well I never met him but if he was alive I would most certainly know him. Major influence. Clapton... I did his Behind the sun record and played live with him with Elton John at the Hollywood Bowl. WAY cool. Jimmy Page... What a gentleman. He made a point to take me aside and tell me that he really dug my playing, I have never worked with him but I would love to sometime. I felt up my first girlfriend summer of 1969 listening to Led Zepplin 1, hahaha. SRV... never met him but I LOVE his touch. What a player! George Harrison... Well HE is the reason I play the guitar. I met him right after we lost Jeff Porcaro and I talked him into playing with us at the tribute at the Ampitheatre in L.A. What an honor. He took me out to dinner that next year and Bob Dylan was there, Jim Keltner, Jeff Lynne and we had a jam at Jeff Lynne's house after. What a trip that was.
