Steve and I have been friends since about 1986 when we both met on tour in Japan; he out with Jeff Beck and Carlos Santana, and I with Ozzy, but it was only in 1997, after a particularly jovial night in a decadent bar in Paris that we decided to put our heads together and write a few songs. We ended up collaborating on about half the record, and the result was "LUKE", out on Miramar Records in the USA and Sony International in the world . It was a real pleasure and I was delighted and very proud that the material came out in such a cool way, particularly "BROKEN MACHINE" and "TEARS OF MY OWN SHAME"; two of my favorite songs that I have ever written. The next step was to start our tour. Clad in Fabulous pants, deftely swiped from Alice Cooper, we went to Finland and from there we worked our way through all of Scandinavia, down through Europe, playing through Holland, France, Great Britain (home for me!) Germany and Switzerland over about ten weeks, meeting some wonderful people along the way. We toured in the same bus; we - the "Fabulous Cats", and our mainly British (with the exception of Steve's Tech who was Canadian) crew, who were all affectionately nicknamed "Reg", so as to avoid any confusion. They are all worthy of honorable mention here for a job splendidly done: RICK BRITTEN - Guitars
