Previous Previous post: hi steve, sorry to bother you again but i had another question. do you have any music recommendations or anyone in particular you’ve been listening to lately? thanks, katie

Next Next post: hello Steve. I’ve always wanted to ask you about your drums/perc setup for Words with the Shaman as those are among the strangest and most evocative drum sounds and patterns I’ve heard. would you care to recount what materials you used for drums, hihat, sticks etc. as they sound nothing like a conventional kit? any particular memory from composing/recording that suite? I hope you appreciate asking this. thanks for everything so far and best for the future. Max

Morning. I was just wondering if you enjoyed the OGWT “first time live on TV” experience ? (sorry, it must seem the most mundane of questions). Regards, John. July 21, 2017
Hi Steve! On Midge Ure’s album “Little Orphans” he made 2 tracks “Get A Life” and “Cry” with you, Richard Barbieri and Mick Karn. Do you have any memories from these recordings? Also waiting patiently for the upcoming work with the swedish Charlie Storm and Thomas Steiner. Thanx for the great music! June 28, 2017
Hi Steve! Just wondering if you have any memories of playing in Toronto, Canada back in 1979. I do recall you had a cool photo of the Toronto Island Airport for sale, called ‘Pilot’. It must have been somewhat overwhelming touring North America when you were just in your early twenties/late teens? Can you recall the impressions left, especially with regard to fans and the music industry, from touring at such a young age? June 28, 2017
Hi Steve. Hope you are well. A few things… Do you tire of people asking you questions about Japan? (Apologies for asking this, because there’s one or two coming up…) And, as someone who schlepped up to every early gig that I could, the first couple of albums had a profound effect on me musically and I continue to listen to them regularly. When was the last time you listened to AS and OA? Also, while I’m aware there’s some dislike of these albums in band circles, do you not carry a small debt of gratitude to them? That without AS and OA, there wouldn’t have been the rest of the catalogue? Cheers Paul June 18, 2017
Hi Steve, being a drummer myself, I’ve always felt really amazed by your drumming, your unique beats and rhythmic constructions for songs. Have you ever practised on a regular basis? Any favourite drum books? And any posture problems due to playing drums, ever? Lots of respect and admiration here. Your drumming has always inspired me. Best regards, all the way from Brazil.
