Re: How famous was Steve?
Telecat:
I bought HTW in 1990 it says in the liner notes that it's his first solo album,I have always considered TSMB to be a solo project
IMHO.
Was Morse on Steve Walsh's Streets album??
I like that one alot.
Bluetuna:
Kansas played heavy rock with the best of 'em.

Re: How famous was Steve?
Kansas, a heavy rock contender, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Kansas is in the mid-west wimp rock hall of shame with REO, Cheap Trick and Styx.

Re: How famous was Steve?
I saw Kansas back around 1980 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena and they were dreadful live. Frank Marino was the opening act and smoked Kansas.
If your taste in rock is mid-west melodic hard rock, Kansas was your band. My taste back in the mid-late 70's / very early 80's was much heavier....Rainbow, Rush, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, UFO, Scorpions, just to name a few.
IMHO Kansas was just NOT in there league.

Re: How famous was Steve?
Larry, I agree with Blue Tuna on Styx and REO Crapwagon, those guys are bottomfeeders. The studio Kansas albums were very good, I have not heard the ones Morse made with them.

Re: How famous was Steve?
Have both Satch + Bluetuna checked out the material from all of Styx, REO + Kansas circa 1972-1978? If not, you could be in for somewhat of a surprise. I do agree that by 1979/80 all of them had gone to !@#$, but before that and pretty much throughout the '70s, those were 3 of the best - out of a couple dozen, admittedly - bands in the land

Re: How famous was Steve?
Yea I should have specified that Kansas
"in their time" could rock with the best of 'em.
Bluetuna:
I saw Knasas for the first time in 1978 with Ted Nugent and the Scorpions,talk about a killer show by all,Ted was in his prime and so were Kansas,the Scorpions
were just begining to make noise here and they were awesome. 
Styx were good around that time as well,REO
was good every time I saw them too.
I have seen none of these bands after 1980.
(except for the Scorpions many times since)

How many songs can he build around that sme exact melody??
Another example is Spotlight Kid/
Dead Or Alive/A twist In The Tale,same riff recycled over and over...shall I go on with the L.A. Connections and such??? 
Your right. People tend to jump all over Morse eventhough Blackmore is guilty of the same things. Both Are Great Guitarists.

Re: How famous was Steve?
Belexes, Down the Road, The Devil Game, Mysteries and Mayhem, Child of Innocence...all great hard rock songs.
Gillan's Micstand:
I'm not sure which Steve Walsh albums Steve is on to be honest. I recall looking through a friends LP's and seeing him in the credits. But that explains why he joined Kansas when Walsh returned to the band. If I remember correctly the cover had Steve Walsh holding two pistols.
