I want to see footage of Jeff Beck doing that trick more than anything in the world.
I'm going to try it one day and drop my Strat, snap the neck
I’ve seen Billy Gibbons doing that trick but without triplets
HELL, YEAH!!!
The closest thing I saw was this. th-cam.com/video/1044COdOj10/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! @mejsmith1
You have to love Alice Cooper. Behind all the make up and the stage act is a very humble guy that still lives in his home state of AZ and who likes to go fishing and play golf. He did it his way and he did it very well.
I heard him joke somewhere that he was determined to make it with his band when he was starting out so he didn't have to work at Safeway!
I have never heard a single person that has met him say a bad word about him. Nothing but praise for his character and kindness.
all the greats love him... for all the things you mention...tru dat
his best golfing buddy was the legendary Glen Campbell
@Frank Discussion their kids grew up together and Glenn was his kids Godfather
I was at that show. I went to high school with Alice and went to the VIP regularly. That was up in the top 2 shows I ever saw; the other was The Chambers Brothers at The Atlantic City Pop Festival in Sept. '69. The Spiders/Yardbirds show cost a buck to get in, which is pretty incredible. Apparently The Yardbirds lost their asses on that tour. I think they ultimately wound up losing money. It was an incredible show.
That's incredible
Alice would know - he's a big time music nerd! I agree 100%
REST IN PEACE, JEFF BECK, THE MASTER
RIP to my favorite musician, Jeff Beck. May wing'ed Angels carry you to your rightful place amongst the Stars. Welcome to Immortality. We mere Mortals must now endure are lives without you. Godspeed Jeff Beck. 🌠🎸
RIP Jeff.
The difference between Jeff Beck and most other guitarists is that Beck never stood still. Just about all musicians reach a time in their playing life where they begin to repeat themselves - Beck never did. He has been moving musically all of his life.
@TombstoneHeart
Agreed. I think that's why he continues to change up his bands; to keep challenging himself.
agreed.
Jeff Beck has ALWAYS rocked!!!
Jeff Beck was the greatest guitar player that ever roamed the earth period! It s sad the world will never see anything like him
I agree. But sadly the reason why isnt on many peoples nro1 is that he wasnt as good of a songwriter as page, hendrix, Clapton,van halen ect.
But as a guitar player, yes he is the best.
@@freebee8221Jimi Hendrix was the best then Eddie Van Halen would come next then beck
Guitar playing is not a competition but Jeff Beck is better than everybody.
I like that
Alice for the win!!! Long live Jeff’s memory. xoxo The Clarences
I've been lucky enough to have seen Jeff four times in 69 years and I couldn't agree more with Alice.
I saw Jeff Beck just after the Yardbirds broke up and he introduced Rod Stewart as the new lead singer!!! It was November, 1968. I was 16, cost me $2.50
Frank Reeves … was that with Ron Wood on bass?
Was lucky to see Jeff Beck in Cleveland 2015. It was 2 days after BB King passed away. For his encore he played " The Thrill Is Gone" instrumental. Everyone was on their feet and I was stunned. At 70 years old then, he blew me away with his ability and talent. A virtuoso master of guitar you will not hear the likes of again. RIP.
Alice is the king of great storytelling. He has got so many great stories about so many rock musicians. The story he tells about Keith Moon (he has more than one, actually) is hilarious!
There were talks about a Keith Moon biopic in the works. According to an online site a few of the Moon the Loon stories were given to the screenplay writers from Alice Cooper but there's also a great Jeff Beck / Moon story regarding going on a Pub crawl with Keith's Hovercraft.
This video convinced me to go see Jeff beck live. I was lucky enough that he was already touring and I got to see him a couple of months ago.
Wow I'm happy you got to see him and it feels good to know I had a small part in you seeing him.
Had a chance to see him on his last tour. I didn't. Reminds me of the time I had a chance to see George Carlin's last show. But at least I have the videos to watch on TH-cam!
Jimmy's even acknowledged that Jeff was the best in the Yardbirds.
I thought Alice was gonna talk about the time when all the audience members thought The Yardbirds had done Spiders songs. I gotta see Jeff Beck doing that awesome piece of music with his guitar!!! On the Bucket List
...as long as it's not on your Buckethead :)
It says a lot when Frank Zappa wanted to have Jeff beck replace him in the band so he could concentrate on composing.
More than any other living person (and maybe even if we count the deceased ones too ) Alice Cooper has the most first-hand rock stories to tell. He met, knew, knows, jammed with, partied with, and interacted with EVERYONE. Dick Clark times infinity.
I saw Jeff Beck live about a year and half ago. He does keep getting better and there is nothing like seeing him live and loud. .... and it was loud!
In 1967, I was 17 and listened to the Yardbirds and... Ravi Shankar.
In 1983, I got tickets to the Los Angeles engagement of the ARMS concert tour. I was there to see my 2 favorite guitarists (so far), Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton, but their fellow Yardbird, Jeff Beck was also on the bill. I had just started learning about his stuff, was glad to be seeing him. Well, Eric was drunk off his gourd, Jimmy was messed up, too. But Jeff Beck was freaking AMAZING! He brought Paul Rodgers out to sing a few, and they did "Going Down". During a guitar solo, I saw Jeff take the Les Paul by the tail end with one hand and point it downward as it made a long descending wail, until the headstock gently touched the stage, and he grabbed it back into his arms and played the crap out of it. It is hard to describe in words, but Jeff had complete control of the sounds he was making as he lowered it even though he wasn't even touching the strings. It was Pure. Effing. Magic.
I saw Mr. Beck from the front row on my 19th birthday. It was like peering into the beginnings of the universe.
Seats behind the stage that night. Didn't care, the lineup was great, 3 different sets, and then jam altogether permanently etched.in my brain. 🎸
I began playing in 1966 and the Yardbirds and Animals were 2 of my favorite bands and major influences.
But we have/had great guitarist in this country too.
2 of my favorite guitarist were the Late great Glen Buxton and his sidekick Michael Bruce.
I was also a big fan of the Frost and Friggin Ursa Major, so yeah, Alice Cooper is one of my favorite bands
The Frost, Rationals and Benny Poole Trio played my High School Prom
I saw Alice at Ella Sharp Park, then a few weeks later at Cobo Hall with Wishbone Ash.
Beck Ola still one of my favs after 50 years or so.
I remember that big green apple like it was yesterday.
And I still watch all the vids of Beck on TH-cam now.
A sober Alice Cooper is a sharp guy
As a young guitar player in the 70's I don't remember who introduced me to him but I had "Blow By Blow" and "Wired" and was quite familiar with who Jeff Beck was, when "There And Back" came out in 1980? It was HUGE for us in my musical circle, a couple friends got to see him on that tour, I loved that album and I was devastated I did not get to go for whatever reason. It was always a hunger for me to get to see the great Jeff Beck. Well about 10 years later I got my chance. He was playing with Santana who I also admired yet wasn't to concerned with because I was going to see "Jeff Beck"!! Well, it was like being in the presence of God, I think I had a smile on my face his whole set it was musical magic and ended far to soon, I then felt "baptized" as a guitar player. My other guitar player friend and I sat in awe of what we just witnessed. The stage then came alive again to flashy outfits and congas playing my friend and I looked at each other and said "you good" yeah I'm good "you good"? Yeah I'm good, we bailed, "sorry Carlos" the only chance I'll probably ever get to see Carlos and I didn't care, I just saw "God" play the guitar "let's go home"
I saw Jeff on the same tour with Santana at mud island Amp. Beck came on first and everyone was literally picking their jaws up off the floor. Terry Bozio was on drums and what a fuckin show! Santana came on next and my buddies and I looked at each other and said "you ready ", and we booked. Santana is a great guitarist but watching him get all spiritual and such having just watched Beck walk on water, no comparison. The whole time Beck was playing everyone was looking at each other mouthing "did you see and hear what I heard . Never seen anything like before or since.
I heartily concur with Mr Furnier: Jeff Beck is the best. Ever. Period.
I met Alice cooper at the ritz Carlton in Atlanta. I was in his room delivering a message. He was the nicest star I’d met to date.
Jeff Beck is, without doubt, the finest exponent of the electric guitar. And that is considering Eric Johnson, Hendrix, Clapton and Shawn Lane.
And those guys would tell you the same, Jeff Beck has it sewn up.
Kudos to Vince for recognising it.
Thank you for saying that Alice..
Hello super fan, Thanks for the love and support, Where are you watching from ?
Yep, we were listening to Jeff Beck back then...
Clapton and Page went on to their respective success after the Yardbirds and are great guitarists for their body of work. However, like Alice Cooper, I've always thought that Jeff Beck was the better guitarist out of the three of them. The masses are easily swayed by this or that. Commercial success isn't always an indicator of an artist's ability.
Clapton?
Well, if you listen to Jimmy Page honoring Jeff at the RRHOF, Jimmy said that Jeff is the only one that kept getting better after their "glory days" really of the 60's and early 70's. True enough also with your point that Jeff wasnt and hasnt made real commercial music in decades not in any true sense of following any trends or radio friendly songs.
@@hammer44head perhaps because his world of recording and playing is so much more worthy than today's corporate music /pop scene?!.
@@MrDanSchulte - well its been Corporate forever, read about the Grateful Deads studio time in the 60's dealing with Corporate. Jeff has been doing it his way since at least after he left the yardbirds. The guy just focuses on his muse. Sales and recognition be damned.
He had a huge hit with Hi Ho Silver Lining (He is lead singer as well ) and he hated it and says it is forever a source of embarrassment for him . Lol
Could not agree more!!! Like it's been said....Jeff has notes on his guitar that others do not. Musical GENIUS!!
Thanks Uncle Alice !
Beck never stopped getting better
Few people in the world can name-drop like Vince, and it's awesome.
I saw Beck on tour with Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jeff Healey in the early Nineties and after everyone's individual sets they came back on to Jam. I must say that from my perspective, it seemed like Beck the Maestro was teaching his Understudy's how to play flash guitar. Don't get me wrong, both Stevie Ray Vaughn and Healey were great but Beck's playing was just on another level IMHO.
Rest in Peace Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jeff Healey
Maybe it wasn't the same tour but I saw SRV and Beck together, but Jeff Healey wasn't part of the show. Stevie Ray Vaughn was at the height of his popularity, and as great as he was, his band was the opening act.
@@RodericSpode I must have seen the same tour (Fire and Thunder?); SRV + Beck, no Healey. I think they were alternating headlining the shows. SRV headlined the one I saw, and Beck came out to do the encore with him.
@@michaelpincus5213 Ah, okay. SRV was great too. I got to see him play live 3 times, once his brothers band was the opening act. That was a great concert too.
Awesome I saw that tour as well unbelievable show. Healy open then Beck n then Stevie . Beck came out at the end n played with Stevie.
I’m in agreement here. I’ve seen dozens of great guitarists up close, Beck, Clapton, SRV, McLaughlin, Dimeola, BB, Vince Gill, Brent Mason, Stanley Jordan, Vai, De Lucia and so many others. The two that always stood out to me were Jeff Beck and Danny Gatton bcuz they were the two who had technique coming out of their ears without losing soul and feeling. That is my opinion only and it is not to rate any one guitarist above another.
Absolutely correct Mr cooper, Jeff beck was a total genius and nobody comes close to his shear brilliance. I saw him play at the Hammersmith Apollo in the early 90s and straight away knew I was in the presence of greatness . RIP Jeff beck .
Yep..
I Worked N.O. Jazz Fest, For Years..
Caught Every Beck Show I Could.
fantastic guy! Such a lover of music and music makers. total respect,
I saw them at Catalina Island. Beck with Page on Bass. What a show that was. Jeff would get the feedback stream going then play on top of it and pinging in stereo from one end of the stage to another. Lost Woman was beyond belief. I was blown away. He was using a Les Paul at that point and I immediately got an old used one. Totally agree with Alice Cooper. And Keith Relf Harmonica was transcendent. Jim and Chris were also great and before that Paul. They were so different from evry other band. Cosmic.
According to every other account of their concert on August 23, 1966 Casino Ballroom, Avalon, Catalina Island, CA Their set was cut short due to Beck being ill as well as a myriad of broken strings adding to their woes. Apparently they never played Lost Women so perhaps you are mistaken?
@@doccyclopz HA< HA The Catalina show was never reported about. or recorded. I remember the whole concert. There was tension between Keith and Jeff, but it had nothing to do with Broken Strings. Where did you get that? Yes they DID do Lost Woman at that show. Only time I ever heard them do that live.
It was the best concert ever. Jeff and Keith were doing the most advanced and complex sound shaping I had ever seen them do. At one point Keith went behind Jeff and gave him an upside down middle finger over Jeff's head which was very strange, but the tension was musical.
Yes Jeff was starting to crack, but the call and response with Keith and Jeff was mystical and never heard again. I have always kicked myself for not recording it. Always searched for someone with a recording of it. (I am the person who recorded the shrine bootleg with Page)
@@kelpszoidzlzelps2566 If you can remember the setlist please share it here:
www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-yardbirds/1966/catalina-casino-avalon-ca-7bc66e54.html
You saw a very historically important gig and any info you have needs to be shared for all future Musicologists
@@doccyclopz I have seen the setlist website before and didn't bother trying to add to it. Is that where you got the idea the set was cut short?
It was a complete show and for me the biggest surprise was the addition of Lost Woman and of course the loss of Paul and adding Page. At that time in UK print was comments from Keith mentioning the dream of doing a "Space Opera," and Jeff calling the cosmic sound a "Perversion of Sound"
They all had matching Jorden Amps which supposedly Jeff hated. I thought they were amazing. Jeff had this incredible stereo sound the was ping-ponging from right to left. Jeff was on the far right of the wide stage and Jimmy was at the far left. It was surreal in every way. Keith was wrapping the microphone cord around his arms and shoulders and completely electrified All in all this was the Yardbird performance that topped all others I had seen. Maybe the sea air and festival atmosphere added to the tension. The Les Paul had replaced the Esquire and it blew my mind completely.
Maybe someday some old film will appear.
@@kelpszoidzlzelps2566 Very cool 🎸
How lovely he is
I got to see Jeff Beck once. yeah.
Great post. Of them all, only Jeff kept you guessing: "What's coming next?" His diversity is like the classical masters who always keep you guessing as they take you down their musical journey.
Alice is 100% CORRECT! Jeff Beck is the best... Cheers from Seattle!
Jeff Beck plays sublime guitar in the film Red White and Blues ... towards the end with Van Morrison, Tom Jones, Lulu and others. Yes, yes, I know. Tom Jones and Lulu? Watch it. They're great at singing blues tunes.
I love Tom Jones with Janis . When you watch it you can see how Janis loosens him up while they are singing . Just fantastic.
Beck and Ron Wood are still close friends, and Woody said once in an interview talking about Jeff:
"When we get together, Jeff is always saying to me: "hey how about this, can you do this?"
(Beck then tears off some amazingly complex bit of wizardry)
and I always have to answer 'No Jeff, I can't f&$*ing do that!' Jeez"
🔥 rip Jeff
You can really hear the influence of the Yardbirds in 'School's Out'. There are elements of 'Shapes of Things' in the rhythm, the bass patterns are very similar to Paul Samwell-Smith's when he comes out of the solo section. One of my favourite Alice Cooper songs, mainly because it reminds me of the Yardbirds.
Aerosmith was another band who worshipped the Yardbirds:
" Listen to 'Somebody,' a song I wrote for Aerosmith's first album: It's all from the Yardbirds. They were the shit to us, out of all the British bands in the Sixties. The Yardbirds were a bit of a mystery.They had an eclecticism -- the Gregorian chant-ness of the vocals,the melodic diversity,the way they used guitar feedback. I loved that weirdness.They did "Shapes of Things," "Beck's Boogie,"among other songs. I was in such awe. They played like no other band. They weren't concerned with clothes or looks or hit singles. Their thing was "What do we do with these sounds?" They did things with harmonics -- minor thirds and fifths -- that created this ethereal, monstrous sound.The two shows I remember where I just sat with my mouth open was that Yardbirds show in 66', and Led Zeppelin at the Boston Tea Party in 1969.The shame is, I know how great the Yardbirds were. But I don't think everyone else knows it. The Yardbirds' music is a gold mine waiting to be stumbled upon. Aerosmith did, because we grew up in that era. The riff in "Walk This Way" is just us trying to explore the blues in the Yardbirds model."
-STEVEN TYLER (AEROSMITH)
Jeff Beck in my view is one of the best around and can play any format on the guitar
Seen him a bunch. Realize that when he plays with Clapton, page or someone else, beck plays the melody. Because he has the ear, and that’s a gift I wish I had
Jeff Beck and I share the same birthday that's why he's so good I'm almost as good 😋
Jeff Becks the guy. Nuff said.
He's right! Clapton is little boring for me as a blues player and Page is a rock guy. Beck can do it all.
Clapton is a little boring for me as a survivor of heroin addiction. By that I mean when he cleaned up after his Derek and the Dominos phase, the intensity of the energy in his playing was gone. Upon hearing I Shot The Sheriff for the first time on the radio, my friend and I looked at each other and simultaneously said something to the effect of "Is that Clapton?" in utter bewilderment. Almost 47 years since that moment and I still can't believe he ripped off Marley for his comeback. Cheesy and borrrring!
@@jefferyroy2566 I remember when slowhand came out and my friends and I thought it was old people music . Lol
@@rdhudon7469 The big hit on Slowhand was "Lay Down Sally", but it wasn't about seduction. It was about taking a nap. No matter how much "Cocaine" you tooted, the album still made the listener want to nod off. "May You Never" have to hear it again.
I have played for over 50 years and I think most guitarist come to that conclusion eventually.
@@j.dragon651 Layla/Ode to Patti Boyd was the last decent album Clapton was associated with, but if Allman wasn't a part of it I can only imagine how limp both disks would have been. The documentary Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars claims he was envious of the authenticity The Band exhibited in Music from Big Pink. He left his ventures into electrified blues and muscular psychedelia to spend the rest of his career searching for that Americana kind of sound and feel. He failed spectacularly IMO.
I wanna see this full interview
Jeff Beck is the best guitarist, I’ve ever seen by a country mile.
Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were pals growing up and exploring guitar riffs. There's some similarity in their playing to a point, and then there is the fork in the road. Some guitarists rely heavily on a couple tricks and very little structure. Beck and Page went from 3-D to 4-D with their playing and exploration of feedback and fuzz distortion.
I never would have thought that Alice Cooper and I share who our favorite guitarist is.
Always liked the Coop!
I saw Jeff Beck back in 76, I would love to see him again just to see if he did get better...
Saw him about 15 years ago.
He did.
He didn't necessarily get better hes always been. Great but hes expanded his palette, his colors. I e seen him 4 times over the years and every show is different. I think he does It to keep from getting bored. He also changes the people around him, often. Blow by blow is my favorite. God bless him.
Jeff Beck IS the best guitar player!
Absolut korrekt was #AliceCooper über #JeffBeck sagt...Jeff #Beck kann ALLE #Genres spielen. Und dass zeichnet einen Profi aus.
danke
@@doccyclopz gern geschehen.. ich habe dein #Video auf #Twitter gepostet ...ich kannte dass Gespräch nicht von #AliceCooper

I was in the same world as Jeff Beck!!
That particular tour influenced so many people. Not going to disagree with a word of what Alice says here, but the chemistry between Beck and Page led to some monster extended improvisations, which not only inspired metal but also prog. I would dearly love to get hold of one of those bootlegs again, which were the only evidence unfortunately. AFAIK they were the first pop/rock band to do anything of the sort.
Hello everyone. I saw Alice Cooper years ago in paradise Valley Arizona. I was at a gas station. ⛽ I seen him getting in a nice pearl white Lamborghini. I was in total shock. 😐 😮 all I could do was stand there gawking at him. Lol. And you couldn't. Mistake his long! Long! Hair. I was like wow man that's Alice Cooper. Lol and he got his gas. Jumped into his gorgeous Lamborghini and away he went. That people was one of the greatest day's of my life! Lol. I play guitar 🎸 also. And for me to see him. I was like wow it's God. Lol.😅 rock & roll. 😊 😊 😂 be safe & be good. Joe.
Had the good fortune of seeing Beck and SRV on their Fire & Fury tour. Wow. Just wow. I think it was the Oakland Coleseum but could have been the Cow Palace. Anyway, Carlos Santana came out during an encore and with all due respect to him, he didn't fit in on that stage.
Just to see if I could find footage of Beck doing this I looked through tour dates. Apparently it was Sep, 4 1965 that the yardbirds played the VIP Club in Phoenix, Arizona. Just a fun fact for anyone who cares. Also if you were in that crowd on Sep 4, 1965 at the VIP Club in Phoenix, AZ , you seen Jeff beck, Jimmy Page, and Alice cooper in one night and had no clue who 2 of them would end up to be. Congrats… I envy you!!
Jeff Beck truly is
I have seen Stanley Webb from Chicken Shack do same thing. However, the week Hendrick’s died CS played the cow palace in Bithlo, Florida and saw an incredible feat. Stanley played Fire and Hey Joe simultaneously while holding the strat over his head without missing a note. I am not claiming Stanley Webb ranks with many guitar players, but I have never seen that done before or again. He was just on fire that night and probably never duplicated the feat. I think.
Jeff Beck had it all and had it in spades
He's not lying!
Totally agree with Alice Cooper on his praise of Jeff Beck.
Beck is not my favourite guitarist, but he is the second best guitarist that I have seen play live (Tommy Emmanuel just pipping everyone else out because he is a freak on acoustic steel string guitar)
Love ya, Alice! To which I could only add that Jeff Beck only changed a string when it broke, and the ones that didn't break were disgusting, a very unusual guitarist
Jeff was 22 at the time. D.O.B. 6/24/44. Page and Beck lineup was June-July ‘66. Look it up, lick it up . . . . yeah!!!
Actually it was from June '66 to Nov '66.
So true
JEFFS FAMOUS ESQUIRE
THE LEGEND IS TRUE
Beck plays songs with his guitar.
Your great to cooper
Please, someone have the clip of Beck doing the triplets?
Ive saw Alice 6 times
Cooper is cool.
Watch Beck on a video named "Rod Stewart & Jeff Beck", as they kill Curtis Mayfield's, "People Get Ready", it's a masterpiece of skills and emotions and it all seems so fucking easy.
If Rod is a King, Beck is Merlin, his master magician.
For reference, video where Beck is dressed all in white.
Cheers and God Bless
I concur. A gym I used to go to played Jeff Beck's "Flash" cd on their sound system. Whenever "People Get Ready" came on I would stop whatever I was doing and just sit there and soak it in. It would just put me into a trance. Both Rod and Jeff made that track transcendent. And the original by the Impressions was sublime to begin with.
Jeff Beck Is The Guy !!
Alice is a really smart guy
Where is the video trick
I’ve never seen Beck play, but I respect the heck out of Alice’s opinion. My personal favorite is Phil Keaggy, a Christian artist, because he’s the most versatile player I’ve seen. He plays any and everything and even lost his middle finger at the age of 4.
Jeff Beck was 22 in 1966 and yes he is pone of the best guitarists alive...but, I've been playing guitar for 36 years and that's quite a long time now and one thing I did learn is that there is no "Best" no "Greatest of All Time", why do you ask? because such a concept is an absolute and absolutes do not exist ...you can say that there are a number of unbelievably talented guitarists but there is no "best".
Exactly!
Saying someone is the "best guitarist" shows a shocking lack of maturity, and shows that you are an idiot.
I heard that Jeff Beck SHIT his pants when he first heard Eruption
And *_I_* heard that nothing EVH ever did affected JB at all.
I love the Cooper women.
Bull’s eye Alice.
A little context would be helpful. When was this interview and who are the other people in the video?
OLD SCHOOL ALICE SOUNDS LIKE HIP HOP...that Detroit thing.
I witnessed Jeff Beck blowing Jeff Beck off the stage in 200. Had front row center at the Chicago theater, I was the last fan Jeff shook hands with. It was a friday night, the band rocked, Jeff burned the neck up. Next night in Milwaukee, Jeff came out and stood still like Jimi did in the Band of Gypsy's for the first five songs. My jaw was on the ground. It was amazing.
You saw him in 200? Man, I knew he'd been around for a while but back in the Roman empire days? I'm guessing it was Beck unplugged.
@@DandyLion662a 2001, and he was plugged in...
@@DandyLion662a lol..Jeffus Beckus LIVE at the Coliseum
Think about the three guitar players careers and who’s been way more diverse. Beck by far.
I saw Jeff beck live late 70’s Oakland Stadium !
The first 10 minutes he stopped in the middle of a song, threw the white Strat completely across the stage and said that’s a piece of shit and he grabbed another one and kept on playing.
Is there a clip of Jeff dropping the guitar doing triplets?
Obviously it's an Apples2Oranges proposition, at the same time I really argue with Vinny either. Beck's so good it's ridiculous!
He's right
Wonder what he thought of Alvin Lee....
How good is Jeff Beck now? No one can say!
