Best rock instrumental ever?
Steffi Ivan Graf Lendl
This instrumental track was recorded in 1966 by Jeff Beck (lead
guitars), Jimmy Page (12 string rhythm), John Paul Jones (bass), Keith
Moon (drums) and Nicky Hopkins (piano).
The following is paraphrased from Douglas J Noble's article written
based on his interview with Beck: So how did Jimmy Page come to write
'Beck's Bolero'? 'Well, with some difficulty and largely without
me! ..... I went over to Jim's house and he had this 12-string Fender
and he loved the idea of using a bolero-type rhythm for a rock record.
He was playing the bolero rhythm and I played the melody on top of it,
but then I said, "Jim, you've got to break away from the bolero beat -
you can't go on like that for ever!". So we stopped it dead in the
middle of the song - like the Yardbirds would do on 'For Your Love' -
then we stuck that riff into the middle......I was using a Les Paul
for the lead guitar and for the backwards slide guitar through a Vox
AC30 - it was the only amp I had and it was covered with beer!
Actually, I think it was the beer that gave it it's sound! You can
hear Moon screaming in the middle of the record over the drum break.
If you listen after the drum break you can only hear the cymbal
afterwards 'cause he knocked the mic over! Wonderful!'

No, not the best ever, not even Jeff Beck's best ever. By a long shot.

Come on Rich, you don't really expect "Raja" to have a clue unless some
critic tells him what to think, do you?

Hey concert and sex virgin, let's talk about your oh-so active sex

Ever try a blow up doll? Or have they rejected you too?
Fuck off jerk off.

No.
Spend some time with Frank Zappa, the original Fleetwood Mac, Booker T and
the MGs and the rest of Jeff Beck's output (among others) and then have
another go.

Each of these is better in every way:
Peaches En Regalia
RDNZL
Watermelon in Easter Hay
Black Napkins
Eat That Question
Lumpy Gravy
And that's just Zappa.

Good choice. You can come to a conclusion like that from listening to lots
of music, and because you aren't burdened by the baggage our resident fanboi
carries with him. "Raja" choose his track based on two things: 1) it has
Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, and 2) some critic says it's great.

> I'd vote for Albatross (Fleetwood Mac) and Samba Pa'Ti (Santana)
Both good choices. However, my vote might go for something by Focus -
would Hocus Pocus count as instrumental? If not, then House Of The
King is great, as is Sylvia. But then there are classics like Telstar
and Green Onions and some of the Shadows' best. Oh, it's too hard to
choose :-]

Never been a fan of Zeppelin. They had their 1973 concert movie on tv
last night. I watched about 45 minutes of it and I m still not a
fan. Critics are just frustrated wannabees.

I've always liked Zeppelin, although I agree that movie is quite lame, even
the band knew that. As for critics many of them are useless, many of them
don't seem to know much about music and are more interested in spewing their
views on popular culture and society in general than in telling us how good
or bad a concert was (and why). But there are exceptions, and when you find
a critic who knows what he's talking about then you can discover new music
on his recommendation--however reviewers like that are hard to find.

Since long before you soiled your first diaper, "Raja," but I'm not a
hopeless fanboi about it, I don't freak out when someone offers legitimate
criticism of the band. You remind me of those girls who had Beatles photos
cut out of fan magazines on every square inch of their bedroom walls early
in the 60s, the ones who burst into tears whenever they saw their fave
Beatle on television. You're such a little girl, "Raja," and your regular
panty-soaking melt-downs over LZ demonstrate that.
