New Jeff Beck CD - WOW!!!
Posted by: Colin Lorenson on 08 April 2001
Guys,
On holiday in Canada and a friend plyed me the new Jeff Beck - "You had it coming".
Buy this disk. it's seriously kick-ass. I can't wait to get home and get it on my system. A mixture of heavy metal / sampled hip-hop / Indian influenced music and god knows what else.
buy buy buy

Seen a couple of good reviews of this in the last week on top of this one, so have Ordered Ordered Ordered. "Who Else!" was a good japs as well and comes recommended, and if you haven't got "Guitar Shop" than a Big Mistake Has Been Made.
Listening to JB rip it up these days makes you look at EC and think "Whaaaaaaaaaat is he doing with himself?"

Peter, I think you've been living with the metric French for too long

Andrew,
I feel sure that when I was at scule they taught us that:
- feet = '
- inches = "
- minutes = '
- seconds = "
Or did I fall off the world along the way somewhere ?

Colin-
I went out and found "You Had it Comin" on CD.....
track 3 blew me out of the chair. I haven't had a charge like that in a long time.
Seriously good recommendation.
I wonder if he tours....
Thanks.
John
PS- Know anything about Imogen Heap?

eehhmm if he's dead how come he IS still touring

JB is alive and well, and I had his new CD awaiting my return from the hills yesterday. Bit of a scorcher, as has been suggested!
It's Eric Clapton that's dead (or at least might as well be, the stuff he's been putting out the last few years...).
Pete.

So, today I went to listen to this cd. I don't know why, but it only costs UKP 5.50 here!
Anyway, it sounded nice, but it's not my music. I don't know when to play this kind of music.
Just to let you know!
Greetz, Bas

Chaps
I listened to a few tracks of this on the internet. To be honest I thought it was bloody awful.

I can certainly understand a negative reaction to this music. My wife would kick me out of the house if she heard it (at any volume let alone the volume I have been playing it at...boilers full out.)
But, damn...I like it alot.
John
PS - Also getting charged off "The Fifth Element" - could be some wierd phase I am in.
PPS - You guys don't like Track 5 either? Big smoke here c/o Nitin Sawhney. Yikes.

Mick, it's quite alright and quite understandable not to like screaming noise. But life's so much more fun if you do...
Pete.

Still.

So life's more fun if you put up with racket
Ok then........have a good time by sitting in the middle of a nursery school full of 3 year olds screaming and wailing.

No Mick, life isn't more fun if you just put up with a racket. It's more fun if you
actively enjoy it.
Why put up with a load of mere screaming kids when I can cue up THRaKaTTaK and get some much more serious noise from 6 virtuosos with screaming and wailing guitars, basses and drums and a sense of purpose about it?

Mick,
Funny you should mention three year-olds....I have currently have two (twin girls) who do alot of screaming.
Just this morning my wife and I were abruptly awaken at 0500 when Lauren (sister to Catherine) went ballistic after a bad dream (about one of her fav dolls we think).
I know the diference, amigo. Trust me.
Hey, I am a dirt bag from the old school anyway...my musical tastes have always run amuck. (according to many).
Have fun.
John (freaking tired after last night)
