Steve Lukather on Toto's legacy: 'I didn’t want to die with us being a chuckle ... people are going, You know those guys, we were wrong, they ain’t so bad'

“Where’s my fucking yacht? I played on every one of those records.”

Lukather’s band has blessed the rains for nearly five decades with a finely tuned pop-rock sound, which they’re bringing to the Hollywood Bowl with a headlining show on September 1. And at the time, it became instantly out of vogue to do that because we were coming off records like Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Dark Side of the Moon, and Close to the Edge. They were just like, “Okay, I guess you’re supposed to do 10,000 takes, and then you’ll have to try a different bass player tomorrow or a different drummer, because that’s what Steely Dan does.” You waste all this time and money when you really had it the first day, anyway.
