Wish him Happy Birthday but DONT shake his hand!
I got told off!
By the way is Steve using Line 6 combos these days?
I noticed one in a recent shot of Asia.

When is the last time that he used a Rickenbacker?

I think the last time I can remember one being on stage was for the Tormato-10th anniversary tours.
Did he even play it? If so, what song/s?

I still might be wrong. I usually am.

Anyone?

I saw him with his Ric 360 12 on that tour. I believe he stated that it was stolen from his home not long after. I can't recall him ever using a Ric guitar since, except, of course, he uses a 1974 FG 4001 on much of his solo material. His book states that he owns a few more, but I've not heard of them surfacing for any studio work.

Wow......61 Congrats Steve!

Pete,

I was lucky enough to shake Steve's had WAY back when Asia was originally formed at a small little venue called Chevy's Bel Air Cafe on Long Island, NY.

All he said to me was "hey, go easy there big fella". So, when I shook his hand, I used no grip at all.

Now if I can only get a chance to meet Chris Squire
