Synopsis

Renowned guitarist Steve Howe tells his own story in his own words, often unflinchingly as he recounts times of triumph and torment amidst the cream of the UK's prog rock bands.

Best known for his work with Yes, a group prone to sudden upheavals, and AOR supergroup Asia, Steve Howe's passage through these and other bands is a roller-coaster ride of constant touring, tense recording sessions, and frequent trips to all corners of the globe. A workaholic, he soon realized that the temptations of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle weren't for him and instead dedicated his life to excellence in musicianship.

Born in North London in 1947, Steve got his first guitar at the age of twelve and thereafter devoted himself passionately to mastering its intricacies. After spells in psychedelic bands of the late sixties, he was invited to join Yes in 1970, thus finding himself in a spotlight that shines to this day. In the meantime he raised a family, adopted vegetarianism as a lifestyle, and watched as many of his peers succumbed to the impulses he managed to avoid. As well as Yes and Asia, Steve has led bands of his own, released numerous solo recordings in many different musical styles and amassed a legendary collection of priceless stringed instruments.

I used to be the gretaest Steve Howe fan back in the day. I handwrote, edited, photocopied and mailed out (20p postal order or coins and s.a.e.!), the first Yes fanzine, Sound Chaser back in 1979. I was even invited to Steve's house to do an interview around the time of Drama, and a graceful and ami......more

Goodreads review by Erik on May 10, 2020

This book isn't what I expected it to be. I admire Steve Howe's guitar and writing skills a lot, but this book becomes boring to read after some chapters. It is a dairy style of writing so its linear approach is okay but becomes tedious. The main problem, of course, is that the reader, like myself,......more

Goodreads review by Sébastien on February 23, 2021

Seulement intéressant pour les fans de Yes et de Steve Howe. Factuellement assez riche, mais d'un ennui certain à lire, car de nombreux chapitres se limitent à faire la liste de concerts, d'instruments, de détails techniques assez répétitifs. On apprend des choses sur Steve Howe, mais l'on reste sur......more

Goodreads review by Raymond on January 10, 2021

The theme is Steve Howe's book that I found most interesting was the rigors and rewards of a lifetime of dedication to rock music: record the tour, then do it again. His compulsive devotion to his guitar is stunning. His insider's view of not one, but two, successful bands is unique. My issues with t......more
