I read an interview with Stevens in Guitar Player magazine back in the 1980s. He said people were always asking him to &#8220;do the raygun Steve&#8221;, and everyone wanted to know how he did it. The raygun was some killer effect\/trick that he did twice in the song &#8220;Rebel Yell.&#8221; Steve didn&#8217;t want to say exactly how to do it. As I remember it, he thought it was kind of lame for people to just copy it and said people should just experiment and come up with their own stuff. I agree, but you can tell me Steve.
