My favorite guitarist, not just because of his
technical ability, but because his songs
bleed with
emotional significance and sheer
creativity. Steve writes for himself, about whatever he wants, regardless of how it may be interpreted by his audience; luckily, he's skilled enough that if you're not too closed-minded, you can grow to appreciate all his works. He writes most of his music single-handedly, and personally recorded every instrument on half the songs from his latest album,
The Ultra Zone, which is an absolute
masterpiece. He also puts on a
hell of a show if you see him live. I cannot sing his praises enough; listening to
Fever Dream,
0000 or anything off
Passion and Warfare is enough to restore my
optimism and
confidence in mankind's ability to produce
beautiful things, even in my darkest hours of cynicism after witnessing the all-too-common manifestations of
stupidity,
hatred and
selfishness in those around me.
