Why did Jeff Beck call Jimi a god? Why was Jeff so in awe of Jimi?

Of course.

 

Still, I will tell you that Jeff's music is better.

Also, I am not commenting on grantsmanship.

I am talking solely about the music, itself, and also...

Improvisation, and...

How it hangs together.

 

 

 

If it's so good why don't I hear it ever played on the radio? I listen to an oldies channel and neither Beck nor Hendrix ever get played on it.

 

I suspect it's connected to excessive consumption of illegal substances when young and foolish.

NO.

It's because EVERYTHING, including music, has continued to be dumbed down, beginning 2.5 decades ago, or longer...ever since the Cat Vids, on YouTube, and even before.

 

For example, nobody knows what JAZZ is...these days.

 

If you ask some young turk what JAZZ is...

They do not know.

 

They think JAZZ is something that it is actually not.

 

The STUPIDITY of youth, today, is horrendous.

 

They know nothing because, 

They are taught to be inquisitive and to investigate the world.

How often do you hear Mozart or Bach played on the popular radio stations today? Come on, consume in excess and produce something valuable. It must be so easy to be another Jimi or Morrison.

It's about music and if you think Jeff Beck live on Ronnie Scotts is garbage, you qualify as arrogant ignorant:coffee1:

That was some amazing show,,    and a great line up of talent !

 

One thing most people don't realize

ALl the magic that passed thru Hendrix' was done well before the " digital " thechnology for live performance came into existance

look at Hendrix in the  late 60's    vs say what Beck did at Ronnie Scotts / 2007 vs present day  50+ years later

Hendrix Guitar/amp/wha/fuzz/Octavia

Beck quite a substantial rig with a dozen digital aids  plus custom wound pickups.... 

BUT..   Beck ... all in all it still started with his soul and thru his hands

 

Looking at any other guitarists  - present    they had 50+ years to study and practice the Master's techniques,,

Somebody's missing the MAIN POINT....which is....

 

It was ONLY Jeff who could hold several thousand fans riveted, with NO VOCALS.....for two hours....and leave them begging for more.

 

Hendrix could not have done this.

Because Hendrix was only a demi-god, compared to the REAL GOD....Jeff Beck.

 

And, live in Tokyo (1999) was not Jeff's best performance.

 

Jeff's best performance was done at Ronnie Scott's.....

 

 

Hendrix was only HALF of what Jeff was.

He never new it, meaning Jeff never new it.

 

Jeff was better.

 

Jeff was the god.

Jimi died at 27. Who knows what he would have done had he lived? Jeff Beck didn't go full instrumental (and pickless) until he was in his 30's. The early Jeff Beck group featured Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, a genuine supergroup, but it always had a difficult time and never produced all that much because of internal squabbles.
