Mossy bottom Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Dave it sure is. Man! What sad news. Another guitar legend opens tonight in the great gig in the sky. 3 1 Quote
Dave1291 Posted January 11, 2023 Author Posted January 11, 2023 @Mossy bottomMet him in 67 when he was playing for the Yardbirds and have rarely missed a show since. Had two to his stop in Cincy in October and couldn't make it. Sucked big time and now this? Just crazy. He bent those strings and took it to another level from the beginning. Never took a prisoner. You always left dragging your jaw about something he pulled off. 3 1 Quote
JohnJ Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 I've only seen a couple others that I think would be worthy of sharing the stage with the wonderful guitarist Mr. Beck. Sure that Eric Clapton has played with him. Not sure if Robin Trower ever did, although his style might be more similar to some of Jeff's work. I mean are there many out there that can extract then impart the levels of emotion out of a guitar as only he could? RIP BIG loss to our world. 2 2 Quote

Met him w/EC and Jimmy Page in 67 when they were doing a Yardbirds show. He and Page were allll excited cause they'd been teasing some girls all nite and they wanted autographs. We gravitated to EC cause he was on his way out of the band again. and packing up. Funny watching Page & Beck make fools of themselves all excited cause they were creating a following while EC stood by himself. Amazed they were still friends after that. 2 Quote
Dave1291 Posted January 12, 2023 Author Posted January 12, 2023 Everyone was young back in the day. The thing was, he KNEW how good he was as did Jimmy Page. EC was right there with them it was just a thing I picked up on. Beck and the majority of the artists ALL know they're good it's their presentation, following and just all of it Jeff was fantastic and will always have that. One of the best ever. 1 Quote
geezin' Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 In my experience with world champion motorcycle racers if you do not think you're better than the other guys.....well you are right. Can lead to some arrogance. Not to mention what that kind of income and access to recreational drugs can do to a personality. On his passing I'd give him a pass on being a dick in the past. I've done it you've done it but no one cares about us. 1 Quote
