Naaaa...that's just him making an "Oooooooooh" sound 'cuz his crotch is in pain, and he just realized it might have been a bad move and that he may not be able to get up from that position. :)

I've never heard an entire song by jeff beck all the way through. Heard a few minutes of some tunes here and there, but always turned 'em off. He may be more talented than the other two put together, but I really don't like what he chooses to play, so that kind of doesn't matter to me.

He was just on telly tonight doing some tribute to Les Paul, playing blues, ballads and rockabilly. He's fearsomely talented but he's rarely a riff merchant or one for 'lyrical', melodic lead playing, neither does he do'manic, but purposeful' and I dig those kinds of playing so that lets him out for me. It sounds really stupid, I know, but I don't find Jeff Beck song orientated. It mattered little in his jazz fusion phase, but by and large, songs don't seem to have been his strong point.
 
To be perfectly honest i'm not a big fan of any of these three (although very talented) guitarists. My personal favorite would be Chuck Berry, I mean hell who hasn't ripped him off? He may have recycled the same riff hundreds of times, but it was a bad ass riff!
 
I refuse to take the poll. All 3 are all time greats. Personally, I like Zepplin as a band the most.
 
theres an album called "yardbirds live with jimmy page" and if you hear it you know who was the best guitar player with the yardbirds
 
Since most of you arent old enough to remember what was on the radio in 1966 the true impact of the sound and the newness of a riff like the one in "Over Under Sideways Down" is probably lost on you. No matter who was playing guitar with the Yardbirds, the innovation of that band sparked the rise of Psychedelia and hard rock for the masses.

The only reason I refer to The Yardbirds is this is the ONLY common ground for the three plank wankers mentioned in this context. They all stand alone in their respective influences on music and they all continue to do so.

Good point. The three 'plank wankers' :laughings: were all key players in the various strands that hard rock and heavy metal guitar splintered off into.
 
I like Clapton's more melodic, straightforwrad style the best; he's also the only one of the three I've seen live (and it was awesome). I've never been a big fan of Page's live leads. Beck is interesting and a great player but Clapton, in any of his bands, plays more my style of music.
 
I like claptons work with cream and pages work with LZ. I don't care for beck. As far as punk rock goes...the ramomes were cool and most all the others suck. I never understood why not being an acomplished musician was supposed to be cooler than being an accomplished musician. I invested alot of time into learning guitar only to see the stupid ass puck rock fad make stars out of jerks who put a week into learning how to play.
Then disco killed off any remenant of rock...followed by that gawd awful new wave crap that sucked worse than even punk.

Thank the lord for David Allen Coe...Hank jr., willie nelson and waylon.... And all the fantastic country music of that era

Maybe so it all culminated in a suckass music scene no matter which came first.
But I believe the Ramones hit the scene before the sex pistols...and the pistols hit while disco was raging.
I graduated in 1979 ...our class slogan was "always and forever" from tue pukey disco song...and I read articles about the ramones, the pistols, the boomtown rats, and the clash in the mid '70's in music mags.

I had to vote Page. Clapton's cool, and Beck makes some neat noises, but Jimmy Page has created some of the coolest, most memorable guitar riffs of all time.

No. Punk was definitely before disco. The first seedlings of punk were in the late 60's. It basically started with The Stooges, MC5, and the Velvet Underground, which kicked off the NYC scene in the early 70's, and Britain followed shortly thereafter. The first wave of punk rebelled again vapid, droning, boring shit like Clapton, Beck, and Page, and then later disco.
