They should invite me too.

Hey Guys, what about me? *flips hair around* I’m a good guitar player right? We can all just forget about “Your Body is a Wonderland.” I really can play guitar, I just want to sell some albums now, and I’ll play the blues (which is what I should be playing) sometime down the road in my career when I decide I don’t care what sells or what people like; just like Scott Weiland!

Love them both, but of course, Beck will wipe Clapton off the stage. God, I hope John Mayer doesn’t show up!

Beck is on a list that puts Kurt Kobain in front of him. Rolling Stupid magazine.

And me too, right? I’m invited too aren’t I?

That’s amazing,Jeff beck and Eric Clapton doing concerts together.But what really is amazing ;Jeff beck had the cheek to tell Jimmy page not to reform Led zeppelin .Now i can see why.would you make plans to tour; if you knew that led zeppelin was probably going to blow you away.

What about me motherpuckers?!?

Hey RS – it was The Jeff Beck GROUP. Go put on “Truth” and “Beck-Ola”…bloody hell.

I hereby officially announce that I shall not sing for Clapton or Beck.

Load of old wankery by two of the biggest dicks in the game.

I want to go to freakin’ Japan…

Great! Now I can catch both of these no talent ass clown motherf*ckers in the same place at the same time and get all the damn money they owe me from stealing all my sh*t!

Ain’t got no right playin no damn blues if you live in a mansion up in Britain!

I hope they come to the States with this bill.

Rolling Stone needs to attempt to salvage it credibility with an admission as to just how lame the Top 100 Guitarist list is: Jeff Beck should be listed at either 1 or, 2 -he is clearly better than Hendrix now, but who knows what Jimi would have done given the opportunity-

But some of the other choices -Jerry Garcia -Keith Richards, Kirk Hammett, Kurt Cobain….or Duane Allman…..not to mention Eric yawnnnnn……. Clapton better than Jeff Beck? -thats just moronic and, idiotic -it really is stupid, and, an injustice- but then again, this is a list that includes Joan Jett and excludes J Macis-

In what universe is Jack White,John Fogerty,and Thurston Moore, a more influencial guitarist than Pete Townshend? Your magazine is bias crap!

They should combine forces at the Fillmore in San Francisco!

If Clapton is God….than the guitarist for REO Speedwagon is the Dark Overlord!!

RS is really sucking these days.
Their list are freekin’ re-dick-u-lous! Kurt cant play…really…
Beck is and always will be better than Clapton. Top 5 besk geetarist
ever?
1-Page
2-Beck
3-Clapton
4 -Perry
5-Hendrix

My mistake….number three was supposed to be Eddie Van Halen…
my bad

It’s nice to see that the little people have the common sense to recognize Jeff Beck’s greatness. He is truly the best electric guitarist alive.

jeffreyjay -you said it……and Beck has gotten even better over the last decade! -his right hand technique, the many facets to his playing…he is the finest electric guitar player -For those who havent seen him -do so when you have the opportunity. You won’t soon forget it-

Clapton is GOD and will be always better than ME!!

My cousin influenced several generations pf guitar player, Beck influenced other player who, like him, can’t improvise. He makes nice noise with his guitar but when does he improvise?, never, he can’t. Him and Van Halen are the same.

Nice to see he’s still playing live, leaving hope I might see him for a fifth time. Funny comment Hethen. I don’t disagree, Jeff can wipe about anybody off the stage, just totally different styles. Should be interesting and can’t wait to see some utube of it.

Sounds awesome. And I hav’nt bothered to read the RS top guitarist list yet because everyone said its shocking. I’m kinda new to the mag. Did they honestly put Kurt BEFORE clapton???

Guess that doesn’t leave room for me, huh?

This shoould be a really good show. Both of these guitarists are very good.

i just saw eric on 2/18. he was really great. i was surprised at how intersting many of his improvisations were on the solos. solid, mood-changing stuff…im on my way to saitama today to catch the saturday show. this should be interesting.

These guitar polls are purely subjective and near worthless beyond a measure of so-called “popularity”. While most agree on Hendrix’s enduring mythic status the rest is pretty well a matter of opinion. For instance, how many of you have heard the music of Jerry Miller, for instance? There are hundreds of great players out there, all of whom we can learn from. Guitar playing is an art, a journey. Picking “the best” from people at that level is more a matter of taste rather then skill (that is, apart from the near supernatural abilities of a soul like Mr. Hendrix – oneCAN make an exception in that case).

Sam -you obviously have not seen or heard Jeff Beck play- if there is an heir to Hendrix -Beck in the last decade of complete and utter brilliance -with his unmatched, right hand -without a flatpick skill, his vast, complicated musicianship -really is taking the the relatively new instrument -ie the electric geetar into new realms expanding the technique and possibilities for how it can be played -what it can do -with very little electronic gimmickry….at the Eric Clapton Crossroads festival here in Chicago two summers ago -he with the brilliant young bassist Taj Wilkenfield wiped the staged with EVERYBODY -and there was a whole stadium of people who knew it- Jeff Beck is the best electric guitar play playing today -playing quite beyond what a twenty six year old Jimi Hendrix was capable of doing-

Hello to all ! Greetings From Poland. very Good Page !

There is no better then Jeff Beck. I’m 55 and playing guitar since I was 13 years old.Clapton and Page are good, but they are not better then Beck, he is the best.

Hello to all ! Great site. I am new here greetings to all from Poland.

I’m with the last guy..saw him 3 months ago in Sydney and he blew the roof off , amzing band and as a guitar player unique /brilliant. As good as anyone I’ve seen or heard. Very humble and hardly said a word other than the 2 nights were very special and thankyou. Just catching up with his recent work Have a listen to Room for the Papa from “Who Else” or the Ronnie Scott DVD if you cant see him live He and Clapton are having a ball playing basic blues The who’s best thing is idiotic… guitar players play because we love it. Its not a contest ..theres a million technically great guitarists but Jeff Beck is one who constantly reinvents himself and inspired /inspires countless name players as well as unknown millions.

Who was passing out the stupid pills at RS for this list. If there are any real musicians at RS they should have known that Beck is regarded as tops amongst his peers. God RS you are so freakin passe. Go away!
