Yardbirds Having A Rave Up

In fact, I decided to omit "Shapes Of Things" from the review because it actually came out first as a single, as I don't like it when people refer to "Are You Experienced" as the album that also included "Hey Joe" and "Purple Haze." Nevertheless, among the bonus tracks, I absolutely recommend "Jeff's Blues," an instrumental so beautiful that in "Roger The Engineer" it will become "The Nazz Are Blue," and from which Alice Cooper will take the name for his first band, the Nazz, precisely. Anyway, "Shapes Of Things" is a fantastic song, and you were right to mention it. I highly recommend the cover that Beck did in his 1968 album Truth.

And if that's still not enough for you, on YouTube you can find the clip from Antonioni's film where Beck breaks the guitar, and the final scene is absolutely worth watching, at this link:

Look, the album is hard to find on peer-to-peer, but if you want to get to know the Yardbirds, the tracks you absolutely need to have are "I'm A Man," "The Train Kept A Rollin'," "Heart Full Of Soul," and from other albums, songs like "I'm Not Talking" (from which Page will take the riff for Moby Dick), "Over Under Sideways Down" (where Beck still mimics the sitar), and "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago." And if you really want, "For Your Love" has also been featured in some commercials. By the way, since it seems to have been liked, I was thinking of doing a review later on Roger The Engineer, since there is one already but it's truly terrible.

No, there were no heavy insults, and as I repeat, I can't wait to reread the last comments, and I hope many will reread them to change their minds. As for the rest, I don’t know what happened, I can’t even tidy up my reviewer profile, let alone understand what happened to that page, for me that is Arabic.

I don't believe it was censored and there was no euphemism; in fact, I can't wait for it to be back online to reread the debate that I really enjoyed. However, I don't understand, what is there to censor here?

After the post Van Halen era, the only ones I can stomach are Van Halen themselves (second only to Hendrix for innovation), Randy Rhoads, and Yngwie Malmsteen's very first album. As for my passion for slide guitar, I want to mention the fantastic Duane Allman and Ry Cooder.

I agree with Tollani, Chuck Berry but also Robert Johnson have been true cornerstones for all music of the twentieth century, creating ways of playing that have influenced everything that came after them. Among the less celebrated guitarists, I would like to remember Mick Taylor, Frank Zappa (perhaps overshadowed by the weight of his compositional genius, he was surely a fantastic guitarist in the strict sense). Then, among my favorite guitarists, not necessarily for their technical skills, are definitely Keith Richards, Neil Young, Paul Kossoff, and George Harrison.

This type of ranking is ultimately meaningless and is truly the result of a perverse desire. For the top four positions, I name Hendrix, followed by Clapton, Beck, and Page (the last three not necessarily in this order). It's a debate we thoroughly explored on this site 100 Greatest Rock Guitarists and I agree with the top five positions. The longer the list gets, the harder it is to reach a consensus.
