Jeff Beck!!Thanks for the leads so far on trying to contact him for those that have sent info tid bits. From what I've heard a few months ago from what apears as a reliable source, is that Jeff really isn't interested in the myspace scene at this time. However, should he become interested (this goes out to all his PR folks) send a message through myspace and once I've recieved and confirmed it ( I check this page about once every month or so) I'll send an email/message with the admin name and password so they can take over the account. That is if they're interested.
Beck was born in Wallington, London. Like many rock musicians in the early 1960s, he began his career working as a session guitarist. In 1965, Beck joined The Yardbirds (after Eric Clapton had left the group for John Mayall's Bluesbreakers). It was during Jeff's tenure with The Yardbirds that they recorded most of their hits. In 1966, Jeff shared the dual-lead guitar role with Jimmy Page. Beck's tenure in the The Yardbirds was a short one; he left after 18 months, partly for health reasons.The following year, Beck formed a new band, The Jeff Beck Group, which featured him on lead guitar, Rod Stewart on vocals, Ron Wood on bass, Nicky Hopkins on piano, and Mick Waller on drums. The group produced two albums, Truth in 1968 and Beck-Ola the following year. These two albums are highly acclaimed, and are considered by some to be the earliest precursors to heavy metal, predating the initial Led Zeppelin albums. Owing to friction within the band, Stewart and Wood left the group in 1969 to replace Steve Marriott in the The Small Faces (this new lineup, joining Ronnie Laine, Ian McLagan and Kenny Jones would shorten their name to just "The Faces"). Wood later joined The Rolling Stones.After the failure of the second Jeff Beck Group (it disbanded in 1972), Beck formed the power trio Beck, Bogert, and Appice, with Carmine Appice on drums and Tim Bogert on bass. This group, too, failed to attract much critical attention and soon split up, although they did have a minor hit with a version of Stevie Wonder's Superstition (Beck later played lead guitar on Wonder's Talking Book album). In 1975, Beck did a solo, all-instrumental jazz fusion album entitled Blow by Blow which received unexpectedly positive critical reviews and substantial sales, reaching number 4 in the U.S. charts. It was followed up by a collaborative effort with former Mahavishnu Orchestra keyboardist Jan Hammer on the 1976 Wired album, which also received critical acclaim.During the 1980s and 1990s, Jeff Beck recorded sporadically: Flash (1985, including performances with Rod Stewart and Jan Hammer), Guitar Shop (1989), Crazy Legs (1993), Who Else (1999), and You Had It Coming (2001). Jeff Beck won his third Grammy Award, this one for 'Best Rock Instrumental Performance' for the track Dirty Mind from You Had It Coming. The 2003 release of Jeff showed that the new electro-guitar style he used for the two earlier albums would continue to dominate. The song Plan B from this release earned him his fourth Grammy Award, again, for 'Best Rock Instrumental Performance'.In the past few years, Jeff Beck has performed on Les Paul and Cyndi Lauper's new albums, and played guitar on Roger Waters' album Amused to Death. Beck also is featured on one track on Queen guitarist Brian May's last solo album, Another WorldExcerpts from Wikipedia.com
