Description:

This group is dedicated to one of the best guitarist of 80's ...STEVE CLARK well known as Riffmaster and white Lightning.

Steve Clark, to most of us, will be remembered as one of the most talented rock guitarists to play the stage during the 80’s. Steve was the “heart and soul” of Def Leppard’s music. He was known by his fellow musicians and fans as the “Riffmaster”, and Steve “Steamin'” Clark. The day the music died got new meaning to Def Leppard on January 8, 1991. Steve’s life would end prematurely that day, and a great musical talent would be silenced. What many fans did not know at that time was that Steve was the driving force behind Leppards’ music. He wrote most of the music, most of the riffs and orchestrated most of their songs through the Pyromania era. Their biggest hit, Photograph was also riffed by The Riffmaster. Steve played with pure emotion; his soul bled through his guitar. Steve was not interested in speed playing, but rather expression through guitar playing; his solos seemed to recreate the mood and feeling of the songs from which they were played.
Steve’s stage presence also earned him nicknames. He was commonly called "White Lightning"…. because he looked like a lightning bolt flashing across the stage.
