Beck who a credited with helping shape blues Rock and �?T70s heavy Metal was an inspiration to legions of Young guitarists. His Crisp fast guitar work accentuated by High sustained notes distortion and feedback no doubt had Many teenagers picking until their fingers bled. Things have changed in the nearly 20 years since. Rock n Roll has become More of a business a much to Beck s disillusionment a and Rock fans have become More fickle about just who their idols Are. Though Beck won a grammy this year for his latest album guitar shop he knows that he no longer fits the Mold of guitar hero at least not for today a Young musicians. Quot they done to listen to me. They listen to Steve Vai or some pretty boy anybody who looks glamorous a Beck said in an interview last week after a performance in Frankfurt. Quot if some fat dude comes along with no hair plays his ass off a they done to want to know. Its the association with righteousness and sex and youth and All that not that Beck is fat and Bald. But he a a far cry from glamorous. Unlike contemporary guitar hero Eric Clapton Beck has t changed much in appearance since his heyday in the late 60s and 70s. Now 45, the diminutive briton still sports the same shaggy shoulder length hairstyle and he still dresses casually in simple faded Blue jeans and White to shirt. Even in Demeanour Beck is a throwback to the 60s. During the interview he appeared to be an easygoing Laid Back kind of Guy. Slouched in a straight Back chair backstage rolling his own cigarettes Beck was More than Happy to Chat even while a minivan waited outside to whisk him and his two band mates off on a four hour drive to Hamburg. Beck also still displays the same obvious enthusiasm on stage As in years past. Still going Strong guitarist Jeff Beck. Quot it s fun to play. It s Good for the soul to cleanse and to get away from the Home once in a while Quot he said.

Despite the accolades he s received from the music Industry Beck is not Happy with the current state of Rock in Roll. Videos he said Are nothing but a Quot redundant advertising Campaign Quot and music shows on television particularly in England have become Quot unbelievably banal and patronizing a Becky a displeasure almost made him give up music altogether he said. But there Are a few guitarists a Steve Lukather of Toto for instance a who helped reignite his passion. Quot you just get the feeling that maybe the world s going to slip by if you Don t get out there and do something Quot he said. A and when i hear the radio in England it makes me think Well i can do that everybody s going mad Over this Guy or that Guy. And there a my guitar sitting in the House and i m working on the cars a mostly Vintage Fords a Are Beck s passion outside of music. Like his music he enjoys the sound and feel of a Well running machine built with his hands. Quot the fun is in the building a tearing it All apart getting All the rust out of it painting everything and putting it All Back a he said. Quot its a cleansing feeling going to bed knowing you re doing Good. It s fun a turn the key whoosh and run out of Gas Halfway up the Road.
