DizRotus Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) I was wrong. I take it all back. Mr. Beck may dress any way he chooses. He is a serious artist.I just enjoyed an interview regarding the session at Ronnie Scott's: and another interview: He certainly doesn't need my approval, but he has it.

hugeroost Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have not listened to JB much myself, but this is basically the way I feel about Bruce Springsteen. I just don't get how he earned the nickname " the boss " when in mho he has one album worth owning, born in the USA. I get why Elvis is the king, and MJ the king of pop, but the boss thing, well I don't get that. I think he surrounded himself with some great players but the nickname don't match the man.

I think that mainly derives from his live shows. I saw him live at the LA forum, incredible live show, but he never really resonated with me for listening. I think the "album" to have is his Live '75-'85 vinyl 5 LP set. I can listen to those from time to time. He has amother LP that is him sitting in a room with a guitar and a microphone that is well worth picking up. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article in the link below discusses various nicknames and states; [The defiantly blue-collar Springsteen, meanwhile, dislikes his moniker, The Boss. "In the early days when he and the E-Street Band played gigs in small venues, it was Bruce's job to collect the money and pay the rest of the band," says Mr Delahunty. "This led them to start calling him The Boss, a nickname which has stuck."] http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7829013.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjd Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Here is a video where Jeff Beck shows various guitars in his collection. The video starts where you can see the sadness in his eyes as he talks about the Telecaster he got in an inadvertent trade for his legendary 1954 Fender Esquire that he used with the Yardbirds on songs such as "Shapes of Things," "I'm a Man," "Heart Full of Soul," and "Over Under Sideways Down," among others; for which he realizes he can never play again.

Fish Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I have thought about the original ? and the answer is (unless I missed it). His style of playing is very unique and also very difficult. He is well respected by guitar players for that talent/creativity. That said, after the Scotts show I want to take his whammy bar, as he has abused the privilege . I would like to see him play a full show with a Les Paul, no tremolo........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The friend referred to many posts above just lent me "Loud Hailer." I'll rip it to FLAC files and play through my Pono. I'll share my impressions later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaMike Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Do yourself a favor and watch Jeff Beck's Rock n' Roll Party. His playing is phenomenal and diverse as he plays tribute to Les Paul (and others). You won't be disappointed. Also - If you skim through his catalog, the diversity of his style and playing will simply blow your mind. If you are a musician, perhaps you will appreciate him even more. FYI - He does not use a plectrum. That is to say, a guitar pick. Impressive in itself. I could go on and on about him but if you are exposed to small sample of his playing, you might not "get it". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
