Jeff Beck/Jimmy Page-Talk about their Yardbird days

[Tengoshi]

Ironically, Page ended up doing more "biological research" than just about anybody.

[mahajohn]

Is this being narrated by Liev Schreiber? 

[lewars1912]

Didn't know Jimmy Page played with Buddy Holly.

[cykoaudio777]

what are you going to do when you leave school? Biological research? yea,famous rock star doing research on groupies..

[IanTorpedo1]

@cykoaudio777 Yeah, indepth measuring of soundwaves and male pheromone effects on scantily clad, nubile nymphomaniac females. LOL

[JJoneEIGHTY]

whats this original documentary from?

[jimjim506]

i saw teh full video of that skiffle thing, that other guy looks like he's thinking "im so much better at guitar than you jimmy" lol :D

[truck2112yes]

0:20 looking sad, 'cause he knows he is not a guitar God....

[journeyquest1]

1:40 thats what happened to all those missing high dollar 59 flame top les pauls.

[journeyquest1]

1:15 fix my amp dammit !!

[markygoldhead]

anybody else find it hilarious at 1:16 when he smashes his guitar into the amp speaker and then some guy probably an engineer comes up and looks displeased?

[jackwontknow1]

@markygoldhead its from the movie "blow up"

[49kasey]

What I want to know is, did Beck play on Shapes, because obviously Page did if you're familiar with his sound on Little Games. But Happenings Ten Years Time Ago came after Shapes and apparently Beck and Page both played on that. Am I wrong? Someone please clear this up.

[colemanthesoulman]

so... clapton was beck's replacement for the yardbirds?

[49kasey]

@colemanthesoulman No, Beck replaced Clapton. Then Page replaced Beck, but they may have been there together at some point.

[DrHogfan]

It's in this interview/documentary that Beck ,in talking about who the eventual Led Zep lead singer would be, talks of the possibility of Steve Marriott being the one ,but he was such a prima donna that they didn't want him...or something to that affect. Do you have the rest of this interview?

[miro108]

isn't that john bonham on drums?? lol

[acrobaticaromatic]

look at that fucking lead vocalist at the start... what a fucking wanker of a douche.

[Ihatejoshchristian1]

"I lost focus of where The Yardbirds were going... Oh, and by the way, this one goes up to eleven."

[christophergenovese]

I always thought that Nigel was based on Beck--his "I don't give a S&&t" attitude and even one small (I know this is being OCD) detail--he is reading Motor Trend in an airport. Beck is a known car freak..He was quoted once as saying he only plays guitars to fund his car habit.

[zeppelinstrat]

where's the rest of this?

[youtoobaccount11]

1:16 LMFAO!

[markadiculous]

@youtoobaccount11 that was CLASSIC!!!! his amp was on the blink and he starts smashing his guitar off the speaker!!!!! jeff beck! what an explosive guy!!! great stuff!!!

[onezitman]

@markadiculous

i believe that's a clip from the movie Blow Up, and a staged amp problem

[taniko32]

lol,nice one rev...

[RevrendJohnson]

Man, Robert Plant was a nerd back then. I also NEVER thought I'd see Bonzo banging the snare with the brush sticks. I guess the drugs transformed them..

[katanaxi]

that wasn't robert and bonham. that was school friends of jimmy page.

[DomeShot101]

I hope that's a joke...

[Stairwaytoheaven06]

fortunately he becomed not a researcher !

[jenerikuser]

the original Nigel

[69chunkylover69]

I was thinking the same thing

[Yardbirdsfan]

@jenerikuser

I agree with that. He looks almost like Nigel in this video. I wonder if Jeff's amp goes to 11.

[abrahamlincoln0900]

Go Nigel.Crank it to 11

[KnockYouOutCold]

Funny thing, though, is that he's gotten more ass in his life than you'll ever see.

[thelibert1ne]

Waaahhh I'm Jeff Beck.

[septip123]

this was on PBS...a really great documentary on rock-n-roll.

does anyone know the title of this doc?

[Ivor662]

Geez, Beck look and sounds like Nigel Tufnel in this clip.

[llZosoll]

nigel is based off beck is why hahaha

[LedHead1997]

Damn, Jimmy was HOT when he was my age! :}} He had devoted his life to music, not biological research. He would have been ONE hot scientist! lol! God, I miss Keith Relf.... He was my second favorite Yardbird...

[luketube]

I wonder why the hell Beck was hitting the P.A. like that?

[burstaddict]

That footage was part of the movie "Blow Up." The director wanted him to trash the amp and his guitar. The guitar is a stand in because he refused to smash his Les Paul. Go Jeff!

[lagman50]

It was a cheap hofner.

[aarfeld]

I think that young man went into chemical research instead. :-)

[Lemarc8]

lol

[Bok97]

@NastyNole1 LMBO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jairo69xD]

what is the song? 1:15 to 1:21

[StreeTRacR008]

Train kept a rollin

[Jairo69xD]

thanks!

[Kalooookalay]

Well, to be precise, it's Stroll On because in the movie that the scene was from -- Blow Up -- they weren't allowed to use Train Kept A Rollin'. Same music just different lyrics.

[vincevega0]

This is the song called "Stroll On" (a lyrically altered version of "Train Kept A Rollin'". The song was created for the movie "Blow Up!" (1966). If you do a search for Stroll On on YouTube, you'll likely find the Blow Up clip.

[luketube]

To become a great Aerosmith cover!

[lagman50]

not really

[th3sp0rk]

well at least they trashed crap stuff.

[mrhosehose]

Jeff!!

[avp010994]

Its a shame that Page got addicted to heroin because that stuff really fucked him up.

[Rafterman123]

yea for a while, but hes fine now I would say. And was probably a good life lesson

[ArvesValaut2474]

what video is this from?

[nastykiss1234]

ah jeff jeff jeff winners never give up...

[ryssevik]

almighty jimmy nr 1 ALWAYS

[marantz79]

This, my friends, is part of the BEST rock and roll documentary ever done; the 10 part series from the BBC and PBS. It aired in 1995, I think.

We should start a petition to get it re-released. It's a million times better than the schlock documentary called The History of Rock and Roll, which is widely available.

Has anybody else seen the whole thing?

[bikebeerrun1960]

@marantz79 I have; I taped each episode as it was broadcast.

[stratman123]

I think Jimmy's done about every kind of "Biological Research" that one person can live through!

[Rafterman123]

hahaha

[bronyr]

I love it when he used to get his hair permed.

[septip123]

jimmy beat those 3 guys with a fish later in a hotel.

true story

[Rafterman123]

the fish story is actually that they... penetrated, a girl with a fish... apparently.

[DeadEndJustice13]

oh geezz the mudshark incedent lol

[gbyrne]

It was a red snapper,not a mudshark.

[DeadEndJustice13]

ok red snapper fine :p

[sharrer2]

Good times lol.

[HelmutVonSphincter]

He looks like that dude from Spinal Tap. Nigel ?

[Fu345]

Is that a young Jeff Beck? Who looks and acts like Johnny Ramone!

[gunsandguitars7]

Biological research,LOL.

[Pimblit]

Are Jimmy's eyes green or brown. The really look green in this clip, but in most pictures they appear to be much darker.

[lithkitty]

idk they're cute either way! ;D <3

[atillathehun101]

Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest...and married to Jamie Lee Curtis) of Spinal Tap is modeled after the great Jeff Beck. Beck got it and thought it was hilarious...so they say

[bronyr]

Brown. And they Sparkle Before He Speaks.

Seriously though, Brown.

[hazor777]

EHHH! This one GOES TO ELEVEN!! NIGEL TUFNEL,.err..I mean JEFF BECK

[spyral1984]

"yeah but this one goes to 11" LOL glad I'm not the only one who thinks Jeff and Nigel look alike

[jpxlb]

Great !!

[addygaut]

Does anyone know what documentry this is from?

[lespaul59burst]

I remember watching this on Pbs. I think it's from a series called "the history of rock n' roll".

[Zeppiland]

Hey Led Zeppelin Fans click on my name "Zeppiland" on top of this comment and check out my unofficial Led Zeppelin Page. I got all of their studio recordings and a bunch of goodies so feel free to visit my page and leave a comment! Appreciate it and Led It Out!!!

[smautomat]

My God! Jeff Beck IS Nigel Tufnel!

[grandmafrank1983]

@smautomat yeah thats who christopher guest modeled Nigel after

[stones0731]

Haha "The Creepy Uncle."

[bws1971]

"My name is James Patrick Page, and when I grow up I want to... -- waitadamnminute! I'm never gonna grow up! I'm gonna lead LSD-enhanced orgies involving devil-worshipping women and create heavy metal and play Daze & Confused for 40 minutes a pop! THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO!!!!!!"

[everymatt]

lick my love pump..

[minodude01]

what is this from?

[solomonwisearse]

My name is James Page and when I grow up I want to study biological research. If that doesn't work out I will go for plan B, which would be to continue the work of Aleister Crowley as Lucifer's chief of staff, insert subliminal satanic messages in our songs, partake in wild LSD orgies, lead a whole generation of fans into a drug induced haze and conjure demons with my violin staff...just a bit of a step up from skiffle

[beatlefan66]

Personally if I where page plan B what be my plan A and biological reserch my plan B. Kinda like the sound of partaking in wild LSD orgies... but thats just me

[Gameglitcha]

I would choose plan B

[guitarmaniac179]

fuck you solomon

[Surfers7]

WOO!!! LSD orgies!!! hell ya!!! go jimmy!!!

LMMFAO!!!

cool violin staff!! that sounds awesome!!

okay, which pawn shop do i get it at?

the one in the west or in the north?!! XD

[chopin8826]

Jimmy never did LSD gets your facts straight and he never worshiped the devil

[GoatmealPie]

i'm sorry were you there in 1969 when jimmy page was turning down acid tabs and going to church every sunday while he was on tour?

jesus, get a fucking sense of humor man.

[futhashi]

well actually jimmy actually did do lsd. in fact he said he did lsd in aleister crowley's old house. (that doesn't mean he was a satanist tho. he was just an artist who saw no boundaries so he was curious about the occult, and wanted to know about it. that doesn't mean he believed in it

[FlavorRed]

And besides, Crowley wasn't a Satanist. He was an Occultist. There is a difference.

[zeppelinstrat]

thank you, you understand

[beatlefan66]

My name is James Page, and when I grow up I want to wear robes on stage and play my guitar with a violin bow.

[LinkBulletBill]

imagine if he did said that as a kid, lol....

[atwistoflemming]

Now I know where Nigel Tuffnell came from!

[vonludwig84]

That's Liev Schreiver narrating. He does alot of the HBO sports shows. This looks like an official DVD. any guesses?

[RaminPersiani]

jimmy looks a little like brian may here =P

[snusmumriken3]

... And thanks a lot for this one too!!! %-)
