Billy Idol’s guitarist, Stevie Stevens, is perhaps one of the most overlooked guitarists out there.
Saw him in some interviews and he is understanding of music is matched with a very good measure of humility.
Billy, Stevens and whoever they tour with always put on a great show, I have been to three of those shows and planned on going again this year, let’s hope tours can begin again sooner rather than later .
