Although it isn't exactly clear what each member of -(58)- actually did on the recording it can be assumed that Nikki Sixx covers the bass line and that Steve played guitar and possibly contributed some vocals. There is a credit to Steve for co-writing the song "Who We Are", the last track on the CD.
On the CD liner Steve thanks the following people:
The Force, Mom, Dad, the entire Gibb family, Dick Ashby, Allen Kovac and everyone at Left Bank & Beyond Music, Regina Livesay at Americoma, my bros in 58, Emerson Forth and Tattoo Circus, Zakk and Barbaranne Wylde, Nick Catanese, Fred Kowalo, Spencer Gibb, Lee Barchan, Jim Davis, Wolfgang Agotto, Eileen Richard, Pat DiNizio, Anthony Winters, Brett Harris, Eddie "the Fly" Choran, Michael Sapp, Monica Cox, and Mike Wolofsky.
In an interview in late 2003 Steve stated that Allen Kovac, who managed the Bee Gees, had given his phone number to Nikki Sixx and when Nikki was looking to put the band together he phoned Steve out of the blue. Steve, not believing that this person really was who he declared himself to be, hung up on him more than once. Finally Steve realised this was the genuine article and he agreed to sign on.
The band didn't last long enough to offer up another CD. Apparently the time has yet to come when a band's only effort to promote themselves can be via the internet.
The disolution of 58 was timely for Steve as opportunity knocked, and in Spring of 2000 he was taken on as bass player for one of metal's top ranking outfits, The Black Label Society.
