Legacy
Steeler's self titled debut is considered 'groundbreaking'. Much of the themes, style and structure of the music would go on to dominate towards the late 80s. The futuristic guitar work was also incredibly important in bringing Shred guitar to prominence.
Ron Keel later formed his own project, Keel, with moderate commercial success later in the 1980s.
Yngwie Malmsteen was also lead guitarist for the band Alcatrazz, including Graham Bonnett (vocals), Gary Shea (bass), Jan Uvena (drums) and Jimmy Waldo (keyboards). They released one album under this lineup ("No Parole From Rock N' Roll") and a live release, "Live Sentence". Later, Malmsteen began his solo project, Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, which went on to produce numerous albums with a considerably increased commercial success.
Bassist Rik Fox reminisces:
| “ | Steeler was one of those 'groundbreaking' bands of the 1980s Sunset Strip. We were lucky and fortunate to be in that particular place in time and history, look at the awesome results that we left behind! But it was the songs that made it happen, and...the FANS!
Thanks for keeping the faith. |
