A dirge, without music, for the last of the piss and spit, rock and roll rivalries.

A dirge, without music, for the last of the piss and spit, rock and roll rivalries.

Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton at Madison Square Garden

"Jeff Beck's re-emergence into the spotlight is introducing his music, and his unique approach to guitar playing, to a new generation of fans. His determination to dissect every chord and note, to move it, bend it and stretch it until it holds no secrets from him. He knows his instrument intimately. He has explored it like a lover. But it is the precision of his fretwork that still impresses most. His fingers seem to fly in a blur, yet he hits every note distinctly."

	I love Jeff Beck but there is clearly no comparison between him and Eric Clapton. Clapton is an artist whose good name was sullied by 40 years of rubbish. But his stuff on the John Mayall album and the Cream stuff is without parallel. Beck, for all his tricks and gimmicks and talent and flourishes and innovations, simply doesn't get to the heart as directly - and certainly nowhere near as frequently - as Eric Clapton. I merely choose to ignore trash like "Lay Down Sally" and "It's In The Way That You Use It" - listen to the John Mayall album and listen to some of Clapton's newer stuff, like his Robert Johnson tribute album.
