How Can You Not Loose Your Mind...

[The new guy]

hey guys i am writing these words only to hear what you guys have to say .
so here we go:

i have been looking around LUKE'S life for quit a while now
going through his early years,middle years, music,pics,interviews,the whole nine yards and all , up untill these days.
and i was wondering in this wierd thought,

"when you(guitar player,musician ect)just starting to like the thing you call" guitar" you allways imagine youself standing on big ass stages preforming to tens of thousends of people,recordind with the biggest cats around ,and i am talking world wide known artists!!! getting indorsment deals like a "mo fo",play guitar like there is no tommorow,beeing a music arranger as well as beeing a great guitar player..
well you get the idea.....
how can you not freek out ??? i mean ,when you allready there ,how do you set your self to the point of not getting all cocky and stuff? and in general not loosing it by saying " i am the greatest ect..."

i just want to know how do you think LUKE is hanging with this amazing career of his ,again beeing the most working musician on the planet. as far as i know?
how does he keeps his cool ? , how can he be so freindly after all these years ? unblievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

any way ,just a thought .
respect to man that made guitar playing a realy work of art
for me he is the michael angelo of the 20th century regarding to guitar playing
LOVE YOU LUKE I REALY DO.YOU ARE THE SH** MAN !!!!!!

Luke is just a fun loving but humble ass kicking killer guitarist, his personality is a huge part of why people love the guy.. I've met him twice and he's allways a blast... I'm a huge fan...

Lukes awesome I've also gotten to met him, talk and hang with him, he's great. Very personable and just down to earth. Plus he's one of the best players on earth. Very, very humble I have to agree with you Gerry.

Can't wait to see him again, hopefully sometime soon.

I think that Luke keeps his cool because he really loves music. I don't know him to justify any in-depth opinions of him, but from the few interactions I've had with him at Forum events, that's my impression of him. The dude just loves music, loves to play, is great at it, and is happy to get paid to do it. Plus, Jack says he smells good.

 

[The new guy]

hahahahaha

i am preaty sure he smells great!!!!!!
i guess you'r right him beeing a cool and humble peson gives him an advantage upon other musicians i guess that's why he is working so much.
people just like to be around a fun guy

any way
thanks guys

i really respect him with all his work and the inspiration.

but one thing i really like from him is that he seems so honest, he say what he want to say, he play what he like to play(in the magazines, in the television, in his music, in his playing).. he is different with other artist (or celebrities) who usually always try to make a good impression or good image on themselves.... i don't know.. that's only my opinion.. could be different with other.

ya its not like im buddies with Luke but have hung out with him at forum occasions and namm and somehow a topic like this came up. Luke's answer was something like "man, im still a student. i'll always be a student".

he's a really awesome guy and an awesome player. every times ive seen luke play its just obvious he's playing from the heart. its obvious from watching that he just loves it so much and he's even said on this forum that its all from the heart and that he feels blessed w/ the opportunities/success he's had and is still having

Luke rules!

Maybe he should answer this by himself.
Maybe he was not always like that? You live and learn. and with getting older you recognize the really important things in life.
Met him once and he was very nice and friendly.
Still use his pick as a toothpick......NOT
