With a boatload of hairspray, a whole lot of attitude and more guitar licks than you can shake a studded fist at, Steve Stevens and singer Billy Idol attacked the cultural consciousness of the '80s with a string of heavy metal-charged punk-rock gems. Stevens went on to famously play the Top Gun soundtrack, lay down epic shred guitar on Michael Jackson's Dirty Diana, and form his own band: Steve Stevens and the Atomic Playboys. Stevens sat down for a friendly and relaxed interview with MusicRadar to discuss Billy Idol, Robert Palmer, Les Pauls and more.
