If Clapton is God... Is Jeff Beck Jesus?

Posted over 5 years ago

One hell of a version of the gospel "People Get Ready", with Rod Stewart and his old mate Jeff Beck making some fine music.

RobP says Is this an all Yardbirds question? Cuz it's screwed from the intial question. Clapton isn't God, despite his past, cuz I don't think God fades out into mediocrity (anyway, I hope not.) Beck ain't Jesus either, cuz he won't get crucified even if he plays godawful boring fusion, but I do think of him highly enough that I'm appalled anyone else would go by the name Beck. I mean, what sense of history is that? Anyway, you know me, I'll download this in a week and probably love it. For that matter, I had some blues-rock station playing on Pandora at work, and they played a great recent Clapton track, and i happened to be near the pc at the time so I gave it a thumbs up, after which I was inundated with loads of boring imitation Clapton blues-rock (including a couple of tracks by Clapton). Oh well, it works sometimes.

atman says my sister gave me this album for my birthday, back in the day. I've had it on vinyl, cd and itunes download. This for sure one of my top 10 favorite songs ever. The thing I like about Jeff Beck is is picking. He picks REALLY hard. He slaps the strings with his pick. Very distinctive. gotta love it.
