I for one am a Alternative, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock junky. One of my favorite all time bands is Iron Maiden. (Have seen them 5 times in concert.) Another band I really like is The Beatles. But it all varies from there. I can listen to just about anything as long as it is Rock. I can go from listening to some Beatles CDs, then just rock out to some Slayer. And vice versa. Like I mentioned, I love Rock. -------------------- Sitting in muddy water, isn't such a bad life, if it ends after the first time.

I like lots of different kinds of music, every single kind of rock, mostly classic hard rock, punk and alternative are pretty cool. I like a little rap, I can stand country, altho it's not to my taste, and I like some classical music. Am I leaving much out? -------------------- I find it kinda funny I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I am the egg man, they are the egg men, I am the walrus! Koo koo ka-choo!

I was watching TV onetime, flipping through the channels, when I happen to come along a Japanese channel showing some Death Metal Japanese band. They were shredding, had no idea what they were saying, but the music itself was awesome. -------------------- Sitting in muddy water, isn't such a bad life, if it ends after the first time.

I like mostly old stuff (if you couldn't already tell), and other favorites are the Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton (in all of his forms), Jimmy Page (I like his Yardbird music more than his Led Zeppelin music, but both are good), Yoko Ono, and ZZ Top. Edit: Some additional ones: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jack Bruce, George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul Rodgers, and Steve Miller.

Jeff Beck is pobably one of the most underated musicians of the sixties onwards. When Eric Clapton left the Yardbirds, they brought in Jeff Beck, who led the band to new heights, but left, allowing the rise of Jimmy Page and Led Zepellin.

Jeff Beck then formed the Jeff Beck Group, and he hired on a little known singer named Rod Steward, and brought him to international fame. Shortly there after, Rod Stewart formed the Faces, and left Beck.

His bio from VH1:

QUOTE

While he was as innovative as Jimmy Page, as tasteful as Eric Clapton, and nearly as visionary as

Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck never achieved the same commercial success as any of his contemporaries, primarily because of the haphazard way he approached his career. After Rod Stewart left the Jeff Beck Group in 1971, Beck never worked with a charismatic lead singer who could have helped sell his music to a wide audience. Furthermore, he was simply too idiosyncratic, moving from heavy metal to jazz-fusion within a blink of an eye. As his career progressed, he became more fascinated by automobiles than guitars, releasing only one album during the course of the '90s. All the while, Beck retained the respect of fellow guitarists, who found his reclusiveness all the more alluring.

Jeff Beck began his musical career following a short stint at London's Wimbledon Art College. He earned a reputation by supporting Lord Sutch, which helped him land the job as the Yardbirds' lead guitarist following the departure of Eric Clapton. Beck stayed with the Yardbirds for nearly two years, leaving in late in 1966 with the pretense that he was retiring from music. He returned several months later with "Love Is Blue," a single he played poorly because he detested the song. Later in 1967, he formed the Jeff Beck Group with vocalist Rod Stewart, bassist Ron Wood and drummer Aynsley Dunbar, who was quickly replaced by Mickey Waller; keyboardist Nicky Hopkins joined in early 1968. With their crushingly loud reworkings of blues songs and vocal and guitar interplay, the Jeff Beck Group established the template for heavy metal. Neither of the band's records, Truth (1968) or Beck-Ola (a 1969 album which was recorded with new drummer Tony Newman), were particularly successful, and the band tended to fight regularly, especially on their frequent tours of the US. In 1970, Stewart and Wood left to join the Faces, and Beck broke up the group.

Beck had intended to form a power trio with Vanilla Fudge members Carmine Appice (drums) and Tim Bogert (bass), but those plans were derailed when he suffered a serious car crash in 1970. By the time he recuperated in 1971, Bogart and Appice were playing in Cactus, so the guitarist formed a new version of the Jeff Beck Group. Featuring keyboardist Max Middleton, drummer Cozy Powell, bassist Clive Chaman, and vocalist Bobby Tench, the new band recorded Rough and Ready (1971) and The Jeff Beck Group (1972). Neither album attracted much attention. Cactus dissolved in late 1972, and Beck, Bogert and Appice formed a power trio the following year. The group's lone studio album -- a live record was released in Japan but never in the UK or US -- was widely panned due to its plodding arrangements and weak vocals, and the group disbanded the following year.

For about 18 months, Beck remained quiet, re-emerging in 1975 with Blow By Blow. Produced by George Martin, Blow By Blow was an all-instrumental jazz-fusion album that received strong reviews. Beck collaborated with Jan Hammer, a former keyboardist for the Mahavishnu Orchestra, for 1976's Wired, and supported the album with a co-headlining tour with Hammer's band. The tour was documented on the 1977 album, Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group -- Live.

After the Hammer tour, Beck retired to his estate outside of London and remained quiet for three years. He returned in 1980 with There and Back, which featured contributions from Hammer. Following the tour for There and Back, Beck retired again, returning five years later with the slick, Nile Rodgers-produced Flash. A pop-rock album recorded with a variety of vocalists, Flash featured Beck's only hit single, the Stewart-sung "People Get Ready," and also boasted "Escape," which won the Grammy for Best Rock instrumental. During 1987, he played lead guitar on Mick Jagger's second solo album, Primitive Cool. There was another long wait between Flash and 1989's Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop with Terry Bozzio and Tony Hymas. Though the album sold only moderately well, Guitar Shop received uniformly strong reviews and won the Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental. Beck supported the album with a tour, this time co-headlining with guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. Again, Beck entered semi-retirement upon the completion of the tour.

In 1992, Beck played lead guitar on Roger Waters' comeback album, Amused to Death. A year later, he released Crazy Legs, a tribute to Gene Vincent and his lead guitarist Cliff Gallup, which was recorded with the Big Town Playboys. Beck remained quiet after the album's release prior to resurfacing in 1999 with Who Else!. You Had It Coming followed two years later. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

SRV is da man!

I first heard of him back in 1990. I bought the Texas Flood album around late July of that year. Loved it! Unfortunately about a month later I was watching a local music video show called "Request Video" and that is where I heard of his death. As a tribute they played the "House is still rockin'" video. Man was I in shock.

But yeah, I love SRV. His tone is not like any other. I tried putting some heavy gauge strings on my Strat like SRV had, but it KILLED my fingers. So I went back to medium gauge strings. lol!

I still like all the old ones though, and that'll never change. Anyways, I find myself delving more and more into heavy metal everyday. It's a scary thought for me. It started with a little Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, but now, now it's everywhere.
