Leave your rants at home, Steve!
When I worked with him, I took one of my acoustic guitars on his bus to have him sign it(a nice Takamine, that I paid about $1250.00 for).....
Steve said, to my face, "I hate these ****in' Japanese pieces of ****!", and then signed it. I don't recall if I even said anything in response.
What a rude asshole.
I like some of his music.
Isn't he an ex-junkie?
