RIP Jeff Beck. You will be missed.

[@inextremis7406]

I have the privilege to watch roger and Jeff in 2002 in the royal festival hall in London. Roger kindly signed his solo albums after his performance. Also Jeff beck and the whites stripes played yardbirds songs. What a night!!

[@bélalugrisi]

Thanks Roger, for your great words about Jeff, your amazing, stupendous career, and for standing up for those who are desperate for help.

Jeff Beck was my guitar hero for 50+ years. He rarely played anything commercial, but the stuff he played - WOW. His ability to get just the right sound was inimitable. RIP to my favorite.

[@patriciabarkley735]

Jeff Beck plays everything perfectly. I love music, and have spent the biggest part of my life,listening and loving music. He is one of the greatest musicians ever. Rest In Peace, Jeff. You are truly loved and missed. ❤️🌹❤️

I had never heard of Amused to Death before. Stumbled on it after seeing various tributes to Jeff Beck over the last two days. I listened to the album for the first time last night, its a bit of a hidden gem, just wonderful, thanks so much for all your great music. You have been in my ears since I was sixteen and I have been distrusting the government pretty much ever since 😉

[@joelsmith5938]

Roger is a legit musician. I don't agree with him politically on hardly anything but the music is there and in abundance on Amused to Death. You may wanna check out the title track on "The Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking." It's basically Clapton's best playing in a while. Roger must be a real taskmaster too because he squeezes really good performances out of people.

[@BalefulBunyip]

@@joelsmith5938 Thanks for the recommendation. I kinda skipped over that one of Rogers, but I didn't know that Clapton played on it. I will certainly check it out now. Unlike you I am largely in agreement with Roger's politics if we can agree to forgive each other the politics I also have a recommendation Me and Mr. Johnson by Eric Clapton. The most wonderful blues.

[@DEPARTMENTOFREDUNDANCYDEPT]

Amused to Death is a masterpiece, and of course Jeff Beck helped to make it so. Trying to comprehend the presence of Jeff Beck and Roger Waters at work in the same studio almost breaks my brain.

[@InfectiousGroovePodcast]

I love this album so much and I re-visit it often. With Jeff's passing, it seems many more people are circling back to it too.

[@billplaney2585]

I loved this album from the minute it was released in 1992. I kick myself in the head for not paying more attention to Jeff after having discovered it though. I only saw Jeff in concert twice and I didn't really start aggressively listening to his own releases until around 2007.

[@onehotminute]

God bless Jeff Beck! His Works are immortal.

[@PetraKann]

Amused to Death is one of these great albums where all the elements came together beautifully - and Jeff Becks soloing takes this creative Waters work into the stratosphere......World lost the little guitar maestro just a few days ago.....😇

Guys, listen to Steve Stevens on Derek Sherinian's Alpha Burst. I was 100% certain it was Jeff Beck until i read the credits. Genius.

[@JAP42]

Yeah, well Steve Stevens is one of the best guitarists nobody's heard of. Catch him playing Rebel Yell (with Billy Idol) on an acoustic guitar -- a _classical_ guitar. Find "Flamenco A Go-Go" (2000) for a sample of his range.

Jeff Beck is the guitarist among all master guitarists!

[@cpking7]

Amused to Death is my favorite album, in part because of Beck's sublime work on it. The night after first listening, I was so inspired I had a huge breakthrough in my own creative career. There are dozens of other guitar geniuses, but I never listen to Beck without shaking my head in wonder and disbelief.

[@rainmaker5160]

I know Brian May got the nod for greatest living guitar player, and I don't fault that decision, Brian is a helluva guitar player, but for my money, Jeff Beck is the greatest living guitar player. He's a freak; an alien. He evolves as a player. No one else really does that. Jeff Beck never stops getting better.

[@Napoleon4778]

Jeff Beck himself said that John McLaughlin was the greatest guitar player alive.

jeff beck is amazing

[@SLAYERSWINE1]

Jeff Beck was, is, & will ALWAYS be the #GOATGuitarist.

[@thomashumphrey7395]

True, imo, Jeff Beck is an absolute freak (of nature). His style is almost completely inimitable, uncopyable, and his own. His pitch, tone, harmonics and all the rest are off the charts. At his best, he's as good as any player to ever pick up the instrument and arguably (as Jimmy Page said) the preeminent guitar soloist of our time. Very few players can play a gorgeous melody, syncopation, and immediately switch (often in the same song) to blistering speed and fretwork. Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, and Eddie Van Halen come to mind. They were the earliest, first, and best of the "dive bomber" guitar players who took the instrument into outer space. I would even go so far as to say one could reasonably make a case for his being given the title of best guitar player of all time.

[@Jesse-B]

Jeff is finally getting the recognition he deserves, such an gifted guitarist in a genre of his own creation, no one drives a Strat like Jeff.

[@Oh_I_Will]

Jess finally ?? are you serious...JB has always been given his due...

[@Jesse-B]

Yes by his followers, less so the mainstream.

[@vibekeschneidermann689]

@@Oh_I_Will The queen hasn't given him an OBE and it is long overdue. So fans, critics, fellow musicians...we all agree....but not the world in general. I know all the rest of them has gotten one long after their prime. But she can't wait for him to peak - he is 74.

[@zooropaforever]

I think like you. In my mind Roger's solo career starts with Animals (great!) then the wall (truly great!), the final cut (underrated), Pros and Cons (meh...), Radio Kaos (not bad) and Amused to Death: his master piece. Is this the life... is good but nowhere near to ATD.

[@geoycs]

@@zooropaforever it’s so amazingly good, and the content is way ahead of its time. I had an honors course for students between high school and college, and we studied the themes in detail (American imperialism, fascination with guns, war as theater, God wants war, etc, etc, etc).

[@Machihekamake]

@@zooropaforever yes I feel the same about those “meh “albums and think ATD stories/songwriting etc is exceptionally his last masterpiece, but then he keeps performing live and still amazed me. Then last year he does the online remote re-recordings with Lucius. Thanks Roger Waters for a legacy.

[@Redguard677]

@@zooropaforever I love all Roger Waters work

[@mikearchibald744]

Radio KAOS is kind of crazy but has great tracks, and then some great songs that have to carry the narrative but just make no sense on their own. The problem is that its a concept album and the concept is kind of yonkers. But really great tracks on it. Amused to Death is SO good I really can't even listen to it anymore because its just so prescient. True back then, sort of true today but I don't think the american p eople are quite where they were back then. Now its ...'yee gods, not another war'. But 'amused to death' really says it all.

[@hksoundpro]

Having grown up listening to some of the most talented guitarists of the past 60 years, it's always a bit difficult, seeing them, in their later years, struggle to play as well as they once could. So how the hell does Jeff Beck manage to keep getting better every year? Saw him in concert a few years back, and just couldn't stop picking my jaw up off the floor! Legend.

[@HerrSpuzzmacher]

Roger has managed to make his own solo records using three of the greatest guitarists of all time. That's insane, it's not like he had them come in and guest on a track by plopping down a solo in an afternoon, but rather, hey, I'm a notoriously difficult personality and I'd like to spend months in the studio with you making an entire album which will be sold under my own name. And somehow, they went for this. Clapton put in quality work, and Beck made AtD absolutely explode all over the place. If he got Jimmy Page, he'd be the new new yardbirds.

[@Lasse3]

He also made Gilmour play and dance to his will.

Meddle, DSotM, Wish you were here, Animals, The Wall....Largely regarded as Pink Floyd’s halcyon days. This album, Amused to Death however, is up their with them in quality.

Without a shadow of a doubt Jeff Beck is THE most underrated guitarist of all time. It is a gross injustice he isn't recognised more. Speak to non musician people of Jeff Beck and you are bound to hear something like " Oh the 'Hi ho silver lining' guy, great party singalong, but...one hit wonder "

[@billbrandine5857]

I think his only real commercial group success was early on with the Yardbirds. He became a solo act mainly after that and because he didn't really sing or play in another famous band, he got overlooked by the general public. Musicians know his greatness though. Other guitar greats like Satriani, Maelstrom, and Vai, also aren't known for vocals or lyrics, and, like Beck, their talents get overlooked by the general population.
