Steve Gibb
Stephen Thadius "Steve" Crompton Gibb (born 1 December 1973) is an English musician and the first-born son of Barry Gibb and Linda Gibb. As a musician, he was a member of numerous bands including 58, Black Label Society, Crowbar, Kingdom of Sorrow, The Underbellys and SkilletHead.
Early life
Gibb was born in London, England. At the age of three, Gibb began playing piano, but when he was about thirteen he decided he would like to play guitar. After attending a Van Halen gig he was inspired to work harder at this instrument.
Career
1980s
On 14 October 1988, Gibb and nine other students at The Lear School in Miami performed their first concert. This group was put together by Isaac Ersoff, a mathematics teacher at the school with a background in music. The students performed at lunchtimes and for special events at the school. Despite the fact that their high school closed in early 1989, Gibb and friends, Mike Wolofsky and Matt Ackerman, maintained their friendship.
That same year Gibb and friends formed their own band, which was indecisively christened NNY for No Name Yet. Later they would settle on the name ZEX, and in February of that year they landed a gig at Woody's, a Miami club owned by The Rolling Stones' second guitarist Ronnie Wood. Later in the year Gibb would work as a guitar technician on the Bee Gees One For All tour.
