The Master...

[doddydays]

saw him do this album live at royal albert hall fuckin amazing;)

[guitarcat67]

love this record!

[stutty1400]

It's Nigel Tuffnel :) lol ... I love your playing Jeff and looking forward to seeing you Sunday :)

[RoyalBlue43]

If you can, try to get it on vinyl; listen with good headphones. Sounds like some other dimension of alien music!

[pcollenYT]

What's with Jeff and the neck scarf's lately ? Is he ill, covering up the aging and drooping neck skin, or is this a fashion statement. Here, it looks like he is having trouble speaking..sort of a Keith Richards like mumbling.

[YouzTube99]

@pcollenYT: No idea about the scarfs, but as to speaking, he sounds very much like he did decades ago. Check out: youtube.com/watch?v=N5Gh_a-9fr­U. From what I've read, other than the time he spends on stage, he's very much an introvert.

[deluxairhead]

You know Mr Beck I'd love for you to do a track with Ute Lemper i think that would blow minds as your feel with her voice those two together will be just too much take a listen if you don't already know her i think you guys would have crossed paths or should asap !

Love'n' it WN

[Carlito1988]

"But I do have problems, nothing is ever good enough". Wow, like a painter, Jeff is obviously his own biggest critic, but he doesn't understand, when you are that talented, almost anything he does will likely be great to others, in particular, his fans.

[kristofor12345]

This is proof that Beck puts alot of thought and effort into every record he does

[dTbFan72]

Never Alone is the best song on the new cd. emotion and commotion is 1 of his best albums

[purpledude603]

"What's wrong with being sexy"

[68generation]

When he did the Turandot piece last year at the Viareggio benefit concert we were all stunned and breathless by the beauty of this track.... It was such an emotion hearing it since Puccini lived near Viareggio and he wrote practically all his operas there on the lake....

[antonymarius]

No one better, nesun dorma, is off the planet, thank you

[antonymarius]

All my life I've played guitar, this album produced tears when I heard Nesun Dorma, Let me tell you, I don't cry! ever!, The most accomplished player ever, Thank Jeff Beck.

Beck appealed to me in the 70s in one way and appeals to me 30 years later in a whole new way, he is truly revolutionary!

[gretchenmenn]

I ask myself, how much cooler could Jeff Beck be, and the answer is "none...none more cool." A true living legend and an incredible inspiration!

[stutty1400]

SUPERB album

Jeff sounds even more like Nigel Tuffnel in this interview though hehe sorry Jeff lol

[salm37]

@stutty1400 no nigel wishes he were jeff

[stutty1400]

@salm37 You missed the irony of the comment I think mate ;)

[salm37]

@salm37 yeah hehe ...maybe.....they do look alike

[AngelManXX]

why the quality of the video is so low?

[naguiat1]

saw him in San Francisco on 4/16-awsome show! he played "I want to take you Higher" on a telecaster! Nardia Micheal Walden is an awsome drummer

[tet1963]

If you watch Spinal Tap, in the airport Tufnel is reading a hot rod magazine, an obvious tribute to Mr Beck.

[kidzsanlorenzo]

Beck copied every thing from Nigel Tufnel... we all know that.

[ezmacmike]

@kidzsanlorenzo I was wondering if anyone would mention Nigel in the comments for this video. I absolutely LOVE Jeff Beck and just saw him when he came around to tour for this CD. But still, when I hear him talk it reminds me SO much of Spinal Tap.

[mongoose000]

45 years on from the Yardbirds and Truth and we're still honoured to have Mr. Beck continuing to explore the frontiers of his music. The new album is amazingly lush and heartfelt and he commands every melody like a god with his fingers in the dust. Really, I can't say enough.

He's clearly no more comfortable with interviews -- but I'm sure glad to see them. Because you just know his like will never walk this earth again.

[invisiblekiva]

I've only listened to this CD 600 times since I got it. What a masterpiece!!! Jeff Beck said it perfectly, if there's no rhythm & no melody, there's no song there. This album was well worth the wait. Bravo Jeff! You've outdone yourself....again.

[zappalaney]

he should dicuss why Viinnie and Tal arent in the band anymore

typical Jeff Beck move !

[mongoose000]

@zappalaney -- This album was not a "band" album, that's why. The concept is full-blown 64-piece orchestral and even so, they play on a few tracks and will no doubt tour together in the future.

Go easy on the old geezer!

[altodds]

its a good album, I began to love it after a few listens, Ive got the other day

[nyg1954]

Emotion and Commotion is an incredible album.should win jeff many new fans.

[rockbeckpage]

He's sooo cute....

He looks always GREAT in any age.

[aammirr]

...ya think Chris Guest was imitating Beck with his Spinal Tap character !?!

[morrisseydylan]

@aammirr its a well known fact that the spinal tap character was loosely based on Jeff Beck

[morrisseydylan]

@aammirr its a well known fact that the spinal tap character was loosely based on Jeff Beck

[Rokloppster68]

@aammirr too funny. before i even read your comment, that was the first thing i thought. He totally Nigel Tufnel.

[MEGAMIGA]

I had the chance to see him play at Jazz à Sète, in France, in July 2009.

I was mesmerised! The man is one of the greatest guitar players on tis bloody planet!

What he says about Pop being "push-button music" is absolutely true. Today, people do not know the difference between art and shite...

[beckeyes123]

the swallows returned to capistrano

today. they only came jeff, to hear you

play.

[hassledguy]

Gonna see him in a few weeks

[HughBriss69]

God Speaks.

[absurdplanet]

This looks to be a ground breaking record from the Guv'nor...

Just great he's creating art and has never sold out.
