He was one clever cat on the old guitar, impossible to imitate
Got into this after reading/learning about how George Martin recorded different musicians & albums. Beck said Martin taught him when to stop and not over-do things. Not really a guitar-hero enthusiast but absolutely love this record - really tasteful and outstanding musicianship.
Yeah as I said when he died I think it’s a shame in one sense that he never hooked up with a fantastic singer in the long term.
He could play better than anyone in my opinion ( once Hendrix was no longer among us )

Find a lot of guitar stuff screams "Me! Me! Me!" but Jeff Beck seemed to play for the music as a whole. As did this bloke.

I went to see Living Colour on Sat night touring for the Stain 30th Anniversary Tour. They are still a great live band and opened with the full album before playing songs from other albums, and covers.
I've seen them twice in Sydney in the past few years, they're a fun band live and their playing is still awesome. Vernon Reid sounds like he did 30 years ago, although Corey Glover doesn't hit as many higher notes as he used to, but doesn't really need to.
They were my favourite band in high school and I missed out seeing them in Wellington on the actual Stain tour because I was in Oz on a rugby tour.

Good gig ?
Awesome band but they played at San Fran of all places in welly in the last few years. Surely thats a case of the mighty falling ?
Cult of Personality was a huge hit and all of them are absolutely amazing musos. I was surprised they didn’t do somewhere much bigger ?

@Nepia They are now in Aust, and will be opening for Extreme, so a shorter set. The Auckland concert was as a headliner. Sep 12 in Sydney.
Yeah, my mate and I looked at going to it but the tickets are crazy expensive in comparison to their single shows. Not to fussed to see Extreme.

@MN5 The three times I've seen them in the last decade have always been at the Powerstation, so I suppose that's their draw in NZ. They were really good, and hearing an album in full is always a unique experience. I would have liked to hear a couple of songs from later albums but they don't play those.

Yeah I remember that album well, came in a red CD case ?
Doug Wimbish is a fucken incredible bass player, particularly on the first track ( he’s a guy I tend not to think of too much though )
Jesus, THIRTY years old…….

Daryl Hall (maybe the best rock singer of all time) did spend his senior years trying to be some kind of old blond Jim Morrison, but he also recorded incredibly good live sets with younger bands (over 10 years ago).

To be a slight pedant I think it was an orange case.
How do you rate Muzz Skillings as a bassist?

Wrong
He’d be about the same. Outstanding and underrated.

Even if you don't like the band, the video is worth watching.
A hot chick comfortably young enough to be their granddaughter is always a sure fire video winner.
I do like quite a bit of the stones stuff, I think they’re colossally overrated in general but I have to take my hat off to them for releasing stuff over SIXTY years after their first recordings……that is exceptional longevity.
