Location: CA | What Beal said about rap X2. I think it's sad and somehow frightening that something which takes no talent, no musical ability, is not music and is basically profanity poetry (and not very good poetry) can sell so well and make talent-less jerks so friggin much money.

For me, though I don't 'get it', (with certain very specific exceptions) it fulfills the first law of Rock & Roll. Piss off your parents!
...........................................
Oh, and to get back on guitars.... though I have endless respect for Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck is GOD! |

It's is still spoo.
I'm not sure the big band stuff had the same -5 attitude or the then equlivent. Of course, life didn't back then either........
Anyhow. |

I thought -5 referred to an Ovation colour....?
;-)
No, my grandfather really meant what he said.
He also almost broke his foot trying to kick in his own television when the Beatles first played the Sullivan show. Then he turned it off and left the room swearing.
My Mom turned the set back on. |

I was just watching Monty Python and there was an ad for "The Secret Policeman's Balls" DVD set. It contains a few of the shows - I don't know if they are in their entirety, but worth checking out. Available at Barnes and Noble (and probably other places). |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Well as a resident preacher on the board, at least its nice to see everyone coming together on something everyone obviously feels strongly about....Jeff Beck I mean...
I have enjoyed him as much as anyone from back in the day...he's a bit different...but he can play the frets off of the strat...The crossroads '07 set was fabulous! I wish they would release the rest of the music that was played that day by some of the greats...
I have to say for the most part you have all hit the perverbial "Nail on the Head"...
On display, they've got a urinal from CBGB's (which is pretty much redundant).
Cliff especially...... ;)
Rock on!!! |

| Yep, "A Guitarists Guitarist" Makes me glad I play. It is more fun watching him play too. I am at a level that even if I can't play the leads I at least can understand how they are doing it, Jeff does shit I just can't quite figure. He controls the whole guitar like it's part of him.
I have similiar situation with YES. Amazing musicians, amazing body of work and some of the most complicated yet listener friendly pieces I have ever heard. Yet they get dissed all the time with awards or in rock history documentary's. I would not be surprised to find that they are not in the hall of fame. |
