Jeff BeckI like an element of chaos in music. That feeling is the best thing ever, as long as you don't have too much of it.
Jeff BeckCan't stand it. Too many amps, too much volume, it's just flat-out ear assault. Speedy guitars leave me not feeling detached but physically upset. When you think of all the subtleties that were built into the guitar and amps for you to discover they completely cover the whole lot with a rack of effects. The guitar doesn't need that.
