I saw him in Viareggio for the railway victims benefit festival, he played "Nessun Dorma" for the first time by Puccini, who was born and lived in our area. As soon as he started playing there was a complete muteness and enchantment though the audience.
I remember reading years ago that the Stones talked to Jeff about joining the band, though didn't realize they had the balls to tell him he needed to audition for the gig. Anyway, I can't see Jeff being terribly happy about being 3rd banana to Mick & Keith, nor really believe they would have enjoyed a big Jeff Beck contingent of fans every night who liked the Stones but came to see Jeff Beck. That experiment lasts a week...maybe. Their egos probably need the largely ego-less Ron Wood.
Are you serious?!?! I'll assume (sadly) that you are and patiently explain that "2nd banana" is a figure of speech meaning the guy playing a backup role to the star of the show. I want to leave it to you deduce from this what it would then mean to be the 3rd banana but am afraid to. Please feel free to respond if you should need further help. Waiter, check please!!!
Jeff Beck is the best. Having speed doesn't make you good. You have to be able to play the good notes well, and nobody can play the good notes better than Beck. Beginning of discussion...
Could you tell me where I can find these `good notes'? I've tried finding them in the Whitehouse but they seemed too busy abusing kids and invading countries. I tried finding them in Iraq but they were too busy fleeing from Americans raping, torturing and killing them. I tried finding them in America but people were always eating, watching sport, porn and taking drugs.
I was pissed one evening so I watched Spinal Tap with the band's commentary. When Nigel is at the piano during the love pump scene he comments something like
"see that jacket I'm wearing, I gave that to Jeff Beck"
No surprise.. his passion is with his cars. As a musician he is so humble that it almost makes you wish he could be an arrogant bastard at times, haha.
These go to 11. This one has the ol tagger on it. Listen to the sustain.

There are probably guitarists out there as good as Jeff Beck but I do not think there was any one better.
