- Jeff Beck started his career as a Rock and Roll guitarist during the British Invasion and has since become a rock Icon who has influenced and played with many of the greatest musicians of Rock and Roll such as Rod Stewart, Jimmy Page and countless others. Join Barry as he discovers that Jeff Beck 's passion for building Hot Rods equals his passion for music and his stories are certifiably CAR CRAZY! Episode 11005
30 years ago Jeff came to our house to deliver two rescue cats, he was with Celia Hammond at them time, I almost fell over when he walked in holding one of them. They had a cup of tea while we settled the cats in and he was just as you imagine, totally modest, interesting and a heart of gold……..RIP Jeff you will never be forgotten.
Just when you thought the guy could not be any cooler. Great to hear this recollection!
Holy cow!!!!!
I recall hearing that they rescued up to 100 cats. She could have been a cat hoarder and that's why they broke up.
Some rumors are real.
Really miss Jeff...saw Les Paul when he was 89 thought Jeff would make it to 90 and still be playing.
The immune system becomes stressed when you play live gigs and people in the audience are sneezing and coughing.
Or backstage in close quarters where socializing becomes a form of Russian roulette. Don't know what details are known but this is a big bummer for Jeff Beck fans. Different than the horrible mass shootings but tragic non the less.
RIP Jeff...
your catalog of music plays in my heart.
That’s a great story ✌🏻
Most musicians are cat lovers, I am too...Jeff was the best
We've just lost Jeff and I am heartbroken, absolutely devastated. He was my hero and changed my life really and my musical influences, but he was always top of the tree and then some. There are lots of news shorts about his passing and the usual crass click bait "tributes" who know nothing about him. Watching this video about his passion for hot rods gives me comfort, because I love his sense of humour and character as well as his playing, and this is Jeff being Jeff. Fame, even though he was never super famous in the mainstream, sometimes got to Jeff, and hot rods was something he could delve into to almost escape guitar playing and music, even! Rest in rock n roll Jeff. Thank you for everything.
Nicely put.
He was still alive wasn't he like 80?! wow long life!
Very simple and kind man R I P Jeff 👍😢❤️
I'd love to have seen him chopping that top off, 😢❤️👍😎
Great post Spork, totally battered by Jeff's sudden passing. As a petrol-head and guitar-nut too Jeff ticked every box for me, what an iconic guy in so many ways. RIP Jeff
Im still struggling with the reality of accepting the fact that Jeff Beck is no longer amongst the living.
As selfish as that may sound?
He was the best of the holy trinity of Beck, Clapton and Page in the 60s and 70s.
He was the one who was most in tune with melodic structure. Its one of the most challenging things to a guitarist.
Most of us guitarists learned the minor and major pentatonic scales and their respective patterns early, and it served us well to learn to jam to world music, blues and rock.
But to truly understand what Jeff Beck did throughout his career was to be melodic and sing with the guitar, of course depending on the musical situation.
Today I was working with a more advanced student on how to pick out melodies.
I told him to listen to Jeff Beck's recordings of 'She's a Woman', 'A Day in the Life' and 'Over the Rainbow'. What he did with those tunes was nothing short of genius.
I went on about identifying the key and go with the proper key and scales to find the right notes.
The notes will be there and its your job to find those melodies within those notes of the scale.
I had him pick out the melody of "Over the Rainbow"...he kind of struggled to find the notes...then I told him, "think of the notes in the key of G, and you'll find them."
Sure enough...notes all natural, with the exception of F#.
Then...he found them.
Im so sorry to have heard this news so suddenly.
Mr Beck...Ive had the privilege to witness your virtuosity live when you toured with Santana in the 90s.
RIP Jeff Beck...your legacy will remain with us forever, and we'll never forget you.
Jeff Beck and his music will always Rave On!
Canadian here, mourning the loss of Mr. Jeff Beck, doom scrolling for everything possibly available about this Guitar God and Car enthusiast . A legend the likes we'll never witness again. Thank you and Peace out Jeff Beck. Tell the rest of the ever growing crew there I say Hi.
I bet Jimi is going to FREAK when he hears how good Jeff got!! In mourning here too brother. Hard to believe he is gone.
Drove up Toronto to Massey Hall to see Jeff, i was addicted for about 20 years 💚
He never sold out to the elites, always stayed true to himself and music beliefs
Amen Jack....btw do you know Freddy? Waterfront, Lenny ring a bell?
@@hardrockindaddy not at all, I'm 63 a student of the 70s
@@jackdaley2155 , Freddy is a blues guitarist, and vintage guitar expert here in New Jersey. He met Jeff many times, he also worked for Lenny Kravitz when both recorded at Waterfront Studios in Hoboken. I thought you were a studio bassist? Anyway I agree with everything you said about Jeff. In some ways I think some of his peers may have resented him for not selling out like they did. He was a constant reminder of Truth, which some people can’t handle.
@@hardrockindaddy I am just a fan who's seen pretty much every rock band of of the 70s in Detroit. My band days are long gone from age 25 I was a singer and and terrible rhythm guitar. But a Gibson Les Paul Recorder looks good around the neck 😃
This is an older show. We just lost Jeff last week and it really sucks. He was a cool guy. I used to work at Brizio street rods , and Roy was good friends with Jeff. He had Brizio build him a few cars , one of which is the copper 3 window in the background. Ironically , one of the days he came to visit his build , which is also the first day I met him , we had the original graffiti coupe in the shop for some repairs. You can imagine Jeffs excitement to see it , and best of all , got to drive it. I didn't know at the time the car was so iconic to him , but I got to witness a historical moment for sure. R.I.P. Jeff....you were absolutely one of a kind!
That ties in so well with this video!! You really did get to experience a historic moment!! How cool!!!
Like a kid in a candy store...
I'm sure he loved the Brizios
You were lucky guy to meet Jeff
Good story ✅🪶
R.I.P. Jeff, a great guitarist and great car builder.This interview is a tribute to a really genuine guy.
i was delighted to find this but by the end i was even sadder about january 2023 than i was before.
Beautiful interview I just love caring with just looks so much for those crazy cars. He was car crazy thank you for your wonderful shell. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen it.
Its raining in England
Jeff Beck was a brilliant guitarist and musician but on top of that I was so impressed by his humility. No matter who he played with he always thanked them and credited them for their performances. He never acted like the star or headliner. Very, soft spoken, humble man !
So true. He was whom everyone came to see, as what he was able to do with the guitar was so next level, but he seemed to always put the spotlight on his fellow musicians.
It’s funny cause I watched a few documentaries over the past couple of days and his old band mates from the Yarbirds said he had a bad temper. Destroyed a Marshall a night for a few nights in a row and another time smashed his Les Paul to splinters, seemed like it occurred right before he left the Yardbirds. I like to think he mellowed with age 😊
@@shaneclower
Yes, he went through some rough times early on. You can say mellowed with age for sure but you can also say had an epiphany or 2. The tragic car crash that he had softened home up a bit.
Near death experience has a way to adjust a caustic attitude.
I feel like saying my most recent example of Jeff's big heart was When he genuinely reached out to Johnny Depp to help him in a very serious time in this man's life. He said come over here will play music will go on tour will put you where you belong callus b**** court case behind you. What a kind thing to do
Around 1978 or 1979 I was in Gratiot Auto Supply in Roseville, Michigan I was standing next to a guy with a black T-shirt with the sleeves cut off and the auto parts guy said they didn't have the part he wanted but they could order it, the guy with a British accent said he wasn't from there and lived in England. The guy looked familiar but I couldn't place him. I got half way home to Emmett, Michigan I realized I was standing right next to Jeff Beck!
Jeff Beck was a great buddy of Eric Clapton and Eric is into hot rods too, I guess Jeff put him onto Brizio's in South San Francisco, I was on a holiday in California from New Zealand with my buddy and we called into Brizio's back in 2015 and they were building a 32 3 window steel deuce for Eric, we were in the showroom and the guys said do you guys want to look around the shop, if you do just go out the back and talk to the guys, we were walking around taking to the guys on the floor, saw Jeff's roadster and Eric's 3 window which was about 75% finished, great guitarists, great hot rodders and Brizios shop left me with a lifelong memory ! RIP, Jeff.
There's nothing cooler than a great musician who also likes to build classic/antique chassis, or just has a love for classis cars. James Hettfield comes to mind. My dad restored an old '48 Plymouth and it took him a few decades in his spare time, even though he worked all daylight hours, so he worked in his dirt floor garage under dim lights. I remember the smells of the interior and how fragile the cloth was. I wish he hadn't sold it back in the '90s.
So painful and heartbreaking to lose the greatest guitar player the world has ever known. A true legend and so down to earth, filled with enthusiasm for his cars. American Graffiti was and still is one of my favourite movies. There’s a great big hole in the world now. We will dearly miss Jeff and his amazing music. R.I.P. Jeff.
Cheers to Jeff!! He was (cant believe saying WAS) a gift to humanity.
Thought he would go to 90
Him last 2 recordings with Ozzy showed how he could even cross over yo heavy metal...he does some great chicken pickin on a French radio interview from years ago.
He plays improvisational acoustic guitar for the answers if questions. ⏳🪶🎶
Beck you are missed. I wish the interviewer would listen more and let Jeff finish his stories or sentences.
This gave me such a better impression of Jeff as a person. Some artists are 1 dimensional. Jeff is in a multiverse but still down to earth. Thanks for the interview.
Hard to find people like Jeff . He's not the normal rock guitarist
yes,me too....I cannot believe he is gone..
Losing Jeff is heart wrenching, like having your favorite car stolen from your garage that you spend the last 20 years working on and finally got it finished.
Jeff was the best of the best...his music history is testimony to his diversity.
RIP Jeff ⏳
I've never heard him talk till now - what a lovely soul he was - how sad he's passed . RIP
What a gentleman he was. You know he is truly a car guy when he said his welding was terrible. Welders are always modest and look up to the guys who really are great welders.
I saw Jeff touring with Brian Wilson back in 2013. Jeff always had a love for Brian and his music, and Jeff playing Surf's Up is one of my favorites. One of the first bands I fell in love with was the Yardbirds, and Jeff's been a part of my music appreciation for just about 50 years. RIP Jeff. Thank you for so many memories and great music.
this piece somehow makes you appreciate Jeff even more and it isn't about the fact that the dude was arguably the most universally loved and agreed upon guitar god that ever walked the earth
RIP, Jeff Beck. You were a huge influence on me, and you will be missed greatly.
But, on a lighter note...
I'm not car crazy, (but I am guitar crazy, for sure), so I knew I wouldn't know your trivia question, as I know nothing about cars.
Boy, was I in for a surprise, when I knew the answer before you were done asking the question!
Turns out, though I don't know anything about cars, I know a lot about Big Daddy Don Garlits, who was friends with my car crazy dad, who was a mechanic and had his own shop/gas station, on long Island, when I was a kid.
Whenever Big Daddy was in town, he would always park one of his dragsters in front of my dad's shop, for a day or two, to promote business for his old pal. He'd even hang out fir a bit, signing autographs and posing for photos, for a bit. It worked like a charm, and had a lasting effect, (until the "gas shortage" put my dad out of business).
As a result, I, (known for not being car crazy), remember him as a one of my dad's coolest friends. He always brought me some black licorice, that we both loved, and strawberry Laffy Taffy for my sister, on the rare occasions he would visit our house. And we always hung out with him and his crew in the pit, (we always had pit passes, at all the race tracks, all the time. My dad was a well loved grease monkey back in the day).
But, of all the drivers I met as a kid, (more than I can remember), Big Daddy was by far my favorite, and the only one that I bothered to learn anything about. My little brother, (who was too young to remember him), still has all my autographed photos of him, (and other drivers), and my dad still has a photo of me sitting in one of his dragsters in front of his shop.
So, I watched this video to learn something about one of my guitar heros, who recently passed away, and was brought on a major flashback to some of the best times shared with my dad.
Thanks for that unexpected treat. And thanks for sharing this visit with Jeff.
Thanks for sharing that story, always loved looking at the dragsters from back in the day. Reading about big daddy Don even before i ever heard Jeff Beck and the yardbirds... Jeff has inspired me 10 times over... ✅✅✅🪶🎶
RIP Jeff, always seemed like a nice guy, hoping he'd stick around with us a little longer. Definitely car crazy, loved working on cars. I love his home - quintessential English country home (with a stable of rods!)
How heartbreaking to lose such a prince of a man! 😭
Shows just how much cars are his passion. You hardly ever hear or see him this animated talking about anything else. Probably the most talented of all the guitar heroes of his era.
And his playing style remains unique and impressive, along with his stage presence and wide-ranging choice of music.
And his use of the word 'lodge' seems uncommon, although correct.
This is so true! He really is lit up during this interview. I thought guitar was his passion!!
How incredibly pure is Jeff Beck? Artist, mechanic, raconteur: renaissance man. Thank you for posting. Always knew that Jeff was into hot rods but now I know what it would be like to kick back and talk about cars with one of the most superb guitar artists of all time.
A beautiful story for a beautiful man. !
Jeff Beck and I have both been long famous guitarists. He was one of the best, I was the absolute worst. But, we both loved cars. RIP, Jeff.
I have a story about Jeff:
I went to see him perform near Madrid maybe around 16 years ago.
I decided to write a piece of paper saying “I don’t believe in God I believe in Jeff beck”
As he was playing a solo, he saw my sign and without missing a beat threw me a kiss with his right hand while he kept playing with his left.
What a legend
Now I understand why so much of Jeff's music sounds like it would be great when you are cruising around in a car.
Too bad Jeff never did a Top Gear appearance. Biggest oversight!
Absolute legend. Just go listen to whatever he has recorded, he's been in top shape always, right 'til the end.
Jeff Beck is underrated as a story teller as well. He's a master of the guitar and car but I love how he tells the stories of his life too!
He's funny ! Love that !
@@dannygreenlight1 Yes. And he's not laboring to be so either. Just natural.
Yes! I wish the interviewer wouldnt have interupted him as much as he did~
@@Beckola11 ...just what I was thinking, the presenter is very poor, as he keeps interrupting rather than letting the guest flow and develop his narrative...also way too many stoppages for adverts and repeats as the show re-starts...stopped watching because of this...they have the concept for a great show but the current format is a bug fail for me
@@markknopflerisnot
I'm a huge Jeff Beck fan with opportunities to be up close watching his fingers and hands play. I've thought several times how his hands should be insured for millions!
I was a mechanic all my life. Building hot rods. And still working on them. I wish that I could have met Jeff.,and worked on cars together. It would have been a joy,having him turning wrenches with me. And building some rides. Damn I miss him. I was 16 working in the driveway, building a 60 Chevy Impala convertible. Got it at junk yard for $100.00. it was pristine. Needed an engine. Put 327cam ,alum heads. High rise, 4 barrel. Had so many like Jeff. Would have enjoyed his company, as hi knowledge of vehicles. Goodby Jeff. I will see you in heaven. Then we can reminisce about the vehicles we have built. Most of all I will miss your music. Was the day the music died. So long friend. God be with you.
Totally unfair that one individual is so talented at many things and so humble and down to earth.
Immensely talented!
Verry simple and kind man R S P your Greatest Jeff we'll miss you bro!! 😢❤️👍😎
Yes Jeff Beck with all the talent he has is so humble and down to earth. I not only enjoy the great music he left behind for all of us to listen to but he has my total respect.
18:40. There it is. His admiration for the effort taken to make these cars happen and it's the same mentality he puts into the creativaty of his music. Absorb every influence, explore every avenue, don't ignore any possibility. What a class act.
Jeff Beck is so cool... top musician, gentleman and car buff
Idem for my namber one,
There will never be another cars/guitars genius quite like Jeff. So happy I got to see him play live once. Rest in peace 🙏
Can you get any cooler?! I got to see him once as well, and am SO thankful I did. Most impressive guitarist I have ever seen.
Just wish there was a auto mechanic in the Pittsburgh area that was big Jeff fan that could help me get my vehicle back on the road. I feel like i can't relate to people unless they like Jeff's music, at least aware of his abilities. I'm a true oddball...🎶
Hot rods and rock and roll they both go together. Famous story Jeff Beck drove one of his hot rods over to Eric Clapton's house, Eric Clapton wanted to show Jeff Beck all of his Ferrari Jeff Beck replied anybody can buy those you have to build these. It's out there online look it up. Rest in peace Jeff Beck.
I'm still devastated by Jeff's death what an absolute Legend
Your not alone!
What a delightful interview...such a special man...makes me even more sad that he left us too soon. RIP dear Jeff.
What a horrific start to 2023, so many great ones lost in music, film and tv. Loved that he played with is fingers and no pic, you can’t be any closer or be part of the guitar than Jeff. He was great from the Yardbirds, Rod Stewart everything he did for music. What a life. RIP TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE LEFT US.
Was there any great artist he did not play with?! He was the most unique well formed electric guitarist ever.
His music will live on, King of the Strat! 🇨🇦🎸🎼
RIP JEFF, We have lost another legend
So sad to hear of Jeff’s passing he was just on Long Island at the Paramount. With Johnny Depp two weeks before his passing he was an amazing guitarist and a true gentleman and hot rod guy . Rip Jeff
My uncle used to let me shift the gears in his old car when I was young. And he was always working on cars and made it look like fun. That was definitely what got me into cars. I'm in my 40's and work at a collision repair/body shop and I'm always tinkering and tweaking on my car
Jeff left us way too soon....I'm sitting here trying to remember if I heard of him first because of his Hot Rods or his Guitar work... I can vividly see in my mind the article in street rodder magazine with him and his yellow coupe ( pre-Graffiti coupe). I about 14 when that article came out.
It was a blessing to watch your video and remember the great Jeff Beck. Fantastic interview. A wonderful look at the real human being and stories of what he was passionate about.
RIP Jeff. Another brilliant side of him that some were not aware of.
I’m 47 and Jeff is my new favorite guitarist
My love for Jeff Beck as a guitarist and person is immeasurable. I have never been in the same building with him, but have learned more about guitar just watching him perform than any person I have had personal contact with. That is just how amazing an artist he was. Prayers and best wishes to his family after such a loss.
No one went on the guitar quest like Jeff did. I was fortunate to see him in 2017 and got to watch his sound check even. I have seen many guitarists, but no one impressed me like he did. Electric guitar never sounded better.
After the 1995 tour with Santana i decided to get all of Jeff's music so by the time 99 rolled around and he toured with Jennifer i was primed.
Then the title came out
"you had it coming"
It spoke to me, followed him intensely, went to at least 15 shows...all over the place.
All his drummers were great, one of his big influences were the different drummers for sure, and also the other musicians.
He fed off of their energies.
He had so much flow, there was anywhere he wanted to go. He also did 2 tracks for Ozzy in the last year. His playing makes them great..👍
So sad he’s past today. True guitar legend ❤
Jeff was great, his music was different and his own. I never knew he was a great American car lover as well. What could be better to get to Heaven and find Jeff, music and cars in the sky?
This is where the car guys came to pay respect. RIP Jeff Beck, you seem to have been a very cool guy.
RIP Maestro. You were one of the very best. Now you’re playing for the angels.
Is there anyone else who can play like Jeff ? I never heard them.
To me Jeff Beck was the epitomy of cool!!!! 😎 Plays wicked bad ass guitar!!! Being a musician!!!! And then works, fixes and tinkers with hot rods!!!! I'm going to miss him!!!! RIP Jeff he passed away a few days ago!!!!😔😞🙁 I could have talked to him for hours talking about music and about fast cars and a love 💕 for Chevy Corvettes!!!! LOL!!!!🥲🥲🥲🥲🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
It figures, that Jeff's first American car was a very classic, 63 Vette!..The guy had impeccable intuitive taste, in music and in cars!
Cool old rods, and Rock and Roll/Blues. Jeff was an iconic bridge, of what we love about England and why England loves America.
The guitar besides the wheel second best invention! Jeff Beck messing with the radio in his uncle's MG and hearing the blues, thank goodness for that moment.
Must be nice to know that when you are on tour with Jeff Beck and your car breaks down...he's got you covered.
Thanks for sharing. Jeff a wonderful man greatest guitarist well loved and heartbreakingly missed😢
We are all so sad! To hear of " Jeff Beck's passing. I remember listening to the radio, and heard a couple of tracks from his " Blow by Blow " album. I was so IMPRESSED!! I bought the record IMMEDIATELY!!!! It sounds like it was recorded yesterday! But, in fact relist in 1974! Thank God! For " Jeff Beck! " RIP Best Wishes! Paul Budd Brightlingsea Essex UK
We need to thank Jeff's uncle.
Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix together in a Vette. Now that is an image.
Hendrix loved Corvettes, owned several of them but one problem that he had was his eyesight and he was too vain to wear glasses so driving them was an adventure.
@@jwh475ezc he did love Vettes--but in reality, only owned two of them. He crashed the first one in Oct of 1968, and then bought a new 69 model the next week. He repainted that 69 model twice!...the first repaint was called Cortez Silver (metal flake)...he got tired of that,and then repainted it green, just a few months before he died in Sept of 1970.
Imagine listening in to their conversation!
The interviewer sucks, but great to hear Jeff talking in such a relaxed manner. RIP Jeff
Very sad we lost another Legend
This was a fun watch -and I'm not even a car guy.
So sad that Jeff left us just a couple of days ago. He seemed like a friendly guy to get to know.
4:45 ... "they had no 'Fenders' which appealed to me immediately" .... LOL , I find that very hard to believe (sorry, guitar joke - since his switch onto Fender Strats was "instrumental" in his sound IMHO ) ... RIP Jeff Beck , one of the most unique electric guitarists
Early on lack of fenders appealed to Jeff, later it was all about Fenders!
He's so cool. Such a loss. RIP, legend.
There was just so much depth to Jeff as a human being. A true legend who will be greatly missed.
To this day, still one of Beck's most disarming and relaxed interviews.
This week, I wrote in my Kar Kulture E-News from Daylesford in Australia, the news of Jeff's passing from ill health and another of my car icons, Ken Block who was killed in a snowmobile accident on his Utah ranch.Two special car guys, unique in their fields and it's sad to realize they are gone, but we have lots of CZcams videos to remember them both at any time.
Loved this episode, R.I.P. Jeff Beck.
Always had respect for Mr. Beck, but this clip took it to another level.
Didn't know Jeff Beck did his own mechanicing. What a superb line up of cars that don't mean much to me but do to many folks into that side of cars. So interesting, as is his playing, he kinda throws the rule book out when he is going "Blues Out !" Fantastic innovator, on the run. Beautiful music. Someone else here remarked on his ability to tell a story, so correct, he has you spell bound. An ordinary guy with talent oozing out. Am better off for seeing that interview thanks :)
I feel the same way! Just when you thought Jeff Beck could not get any cooler. Cars and Guitars...... and to have mastered both....doesn't get any cooler than that.
R.I.P. Jeff ! the best man ever
He seems like such a nice and humble guy
Yes! One of the guitar superstars that is not full of himself, like EC for example.
WMaxMusic
But his unstable personality back then got him kicked out of the Yardbirds and prevented him from keeping his own band together for long. Its a shame.
@@Will-Max EC is a nasty man
@James Boyer
Why is it odd? Beck was on record as saying he had a breakdown. That's why he was kicked out of the Yardbirds. He admitted his issues.
The song when he was with the Yardbirds, HEARTFULL OF SOUL, describes him as an artist and person, loving music and restoring old cars, didn't know he had the car crazy as I also have and love his music, good video. RIP Jeff Beck.
The garage is as impressive as Mr Beck, his cars, his home...humility and authenticity.
Car Crazy did a great job...per usual.
Thank you.
RIP Sir Jeff Beck thanks for sharing the world your love of music and cars! You'll be missed.
Jeffs cars were something. He was a outstanding mechanic. I sure would like to own one of those hotrods. Ausome.
R.I.P. jeff. He's up with Jimmy and Stevey Ray. Jamming.
RIP Jeff Beck you will be missed....BUT....will never be forgotten...."Mr. Guitar".... One of my favorite song "GOING DOWN" the Jeff Beck way. RIP my friend......
Only been a couple days and the outpouring of love, admiration, and inspiration from your fans is amazing and appropriate. Yes, we miss you and love you and rejoice to have your legacy intertwined in our lives. . .Thank you so much Mr. Beck, there can be no other that has done so much for his fans. . . music would not be where it is today without you in it. . .
It's Not too Strange that Cars & Music go together so well.I was always worried about hurting my hands working on cars. Especially on the day of a gig. Love This.Thank you for sharing. c];-)
Apparently his hands were insured.
@@beestingza O yes I heard 8 million dollars. Don't know how true that is.
@@ALtheDoctorWho That seems reasonable.
Totally a car freak. What an amazing story about him hearing the blues for the first time, 1st gear Vette w/Hendrix, Von Dutch knives etc.!!
RIP Jeff ❤️🎸😢
Jeff made a slight mistake, mentioning "1st gear" concerning that Hendrix Vette. Jimi did not know how to operate a stick-shift car...his two Vettes were automatics. Jeff meant to say that they were stuck in a NYC traffic jam, and could only go very slow.
What an amazing life he led. He was a true legend.
I was just listening too the live album he recorded with Bogert and Appice the night before he passed . I have known about his love for cars since I was a teeny bopper back in the mid- seventies . He was featured in Creem magazine in a section the magazine would do on stars and their cars . This was probably in late 1976 or early 77 . Goodbye Jeff . Rest easily!
awesome.. Jeff's OCD and attention to extreme detail to everything he does is what makes him such a talent.
Jeff up front and personal. What a genuine article amd appreciative of what was around him. R.I.P. Sir. Thx for showing.
...fookin love J Beck ....beautiful home ....he even had enough class to build a proper garage ....so that after he's gone it'll still be practical.
I'm so glad Beck is both willing and able to speak about the past and his interests.
Coool!!
"TX 138" is the title of an instrumental on the fabulous 1999 album,
" Who Else?!"
RIP Jeff Beck, you will always be a legend! Humble, unassuming and bigger than life!
Such a gentleman and truly a sweet guy. R.I.P.
Every interview with Jeff is great...unforgotten hero always.
Love Beck, this man not only uses a guitar with the wammy and volume and tone controls and makes it look easy, but a totally excellent car man that he maintains!!!
J Jukeboy he truly plays that guitar to the maximum limit nobody will ever copy that style
with his fingers!
Jeff is so comfortable talking about cars. This is his passion!
Jeff Beck is a multi talented dude. Enjoyed the video. Nice to see him speaking about his passion for cars. Wish I had him working on my son's classic caddy & teaching him a few rift's. Lol. Awesome guy
Awesome performer and a great Car Guy
Love Barry's comment about folks from Alberta Canada that are into collecting cars. I know a few of them and they are regular guys that made good money in the good times here in the oil patch.
I went the other way from Jeff and have almost 30 year old Jaguar XJR (supercharged I6) which is what my dad always wanted when we lived in England.
He mentions, "when I'm gone" talking about the rebuild of his garage ... breaks my heart ...
of course i heard of Beck but never heard much of his music until 5 years ago. completely blown away. he has totally progressed this whole time and is very original. one of the best hands down.
Right! He is always striving for something new. He made a comment once on how Page keeps using the same tricks.
Yup. Just blows away everyone else with that thumb-picking, whammy bar, pinky-on-the-Volume-knob stuff.
WMaxMusic,
Well thats an odd claim by Beck. Each Zeppelin album was different to the rest. Jimmy Page was constantly evolving and reaching for new horizons. Sure, he hasn't done much since but what he did in ten years is something Beck never got near.
Beck was technically brilliant but a mediocre composer.
Sadly, his hands are down for the last time.
RIP Jeff. 😢
