Steve Stevens (Billy Idol Guitarist) featuring Friedman Amps & Pedals

[SAM CA]

This was basically a workshop for Friedman amps/pedals at the local Sam Ash in Hollywood. It was almost a 2 hours program which I cut and edited into a 45 min video. I forgot to format the memory card for my brand new 6D II camera and I lost all the killer shots I thought I took!

So what you see is pretty much a GoPro footage. Of course this audio doesn't do justice to this presentation, but still useful somewhat I guess.

Looks like a company called "Boutique Distribution Amps" is the main distributor for Friedman Amps and Steve Stevens is a Friedman artist. In fact he has his own signature amps... . And yes he's 60 years old! The gentleman on the left is Steven Elowe who is the marketing manager and product specialist for B.D.A.

More proof that old rockers never die...or lose their hair color.

I thought his playing with Idol was the shizzle back in the day. Rebel Yell was probably the first I heard of him.

He was doing the Fender Roland strat video years ago. Probably some rent money in the biz between gigs.
AT 31 his guitar goes totally out of tune? how does that happen?

pretty amazing he wrote those famous riffs though...thats the man

add: a high pass filter on the video audio would take out the rumbling background wouldnt it?

Yeah Steve is an icon in own right. You gotta give the man credit. As far as "marketing" stuff that they say in such events...They all do that. That's to be expected. After all they're hired to feature the product with a positive spin. There's a lot to be learned from clinics and workshop type of events nonetheless. There's always something for everybody.

A low pass filter would have helped. I was just too depressed to have made such a noob mistake. I lost all the footage coming into the DSLR and that's where the good audio was getting recorded as well.
