That sucks. I was a fan. I was just telling one of friends the Jeff Beck never seems to age over the years. Great guitarist. R.I.P.

He was a big hot rod fan too, a few were built at socal speed shop and one he owned since the 80s. I dont think I know much of his music though

[Classicgas]

Sheesh. Who next.

[iamsuperdan]

Stunned. 

One of my favs from that era.

Yeah, me too.

I can remember seeing him on an episode of My Classic Car. He had a replica of Milner's Deuce Coupe from American Graffiti among other things.

This was my introduction to Jeff Beck.

And my dad saw me digging it, and he busted out a pile of records. Jeff beck solo, Yardbirds, Rod Stewart. All kinds of stuff.

 

His work with Roger waters was pretty awesome too.

5 years ago here in Michigan I got to see him live. Good show. Buddy Guy opened the show. 

[Dragline]

This one is a very large bummer. I have been a lifelong fan of JB. I will be listening to a lot this weekend and I have a couple of live shows on DVD.

Got to see him twice and both time were just fantastic. Such a legend and I am certain the tributes will be pouring in.

Recommended listening?

He was an amazingly talented artist who shined when he played. His fans and music industry lost a great, my Jesus be with his family..

Alan Cross is a very well known music journalist here in Canada. He had a good article this morning.

For me, he's one of those guys I've heard here and there but couldn't tell you an exact song I like. I remember someone would play an album and it was very enjoyable to listen to his guitar playing.

[Mike C.]

I can remember having Truth on vinyl as well as a few others. Boat loads of Yardbirds stuff. Even a bootleg or 2.

A legend in our lifetime. I can still recall hearing him playing with the Yardbirds and thinking he was really going to be  someone special with that guitar playing of his.  Rest In Peace. 

Joe
