That Beck Bogart Appice band is one hell of a blues rock supergroup though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Oh shit, he’s on the latest Ozzy album too? See @Mel81x, you’re not wrong the man was very versatile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted January 12, 2023 Author Subscriber Share Posted January 12, 2023 This is why i have a soft spot for studio musicians. you never see their faces but god the number of tracks they play on and add their creativity to is just insane. Not that Jeff was a studio musician but I am now looking at how many folks hes played with or worked with and its no wonder the guy is reverred so much.

Not that Jeff was a studio musician but I am now looking at how many folks hes played with or worked with and its no wonder the guy is reverred so much. I think he thought of himself as mostly a studio musician tbh, even though he was famous around the world and certainly toured. He left the Yardbirds because he hated touring and wanted to spend more time making music in the studio. The guy is nothing short of an absolute legend. Rock, blues, jazz, pop, metal... I'm sure there's more - the guy was a multi-genre musician, which is I think maybe not-so-rare nowadays (especially for studio guys), but he's remarkable in that basically every genre that he played in he's considered an influential guitarist. Pretty sad how he died, tbh. Apparently if you get a bacterial meningitis infection... it doesn't take a whole lot of time to either completely incapacitate you (sometimes permanently) or kill you. So people were saying they'd seen him not too long ago and he was in great health and he seemed nowhere near death, apparently he'd just finished touring (with Johnny Depp... of all fucking people ) and now he's suddenly gone. Pretty massive loss for the music world, and for the guitar world in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick a song, do three recordings and put it together. I am game if @Happy Blue is. We all know Logic/GarageBand, we can all keep time and it might be a fun thing to do.
