East Sussexに住んでたみたいです。若い頃に大きい事故にあったのにずっと現役でギター弾いてたのはすごいです。

The single that coupled Happenings Ten Years Time Ago and Psycho Daisies was impossibly potent and sinister, so far-out even by the standards of 1966 that it succeeded in alienating their fans – it barely scraped the charts in the UK – and the critics, one of whom derided it as an “excuse for music”. Not long after its release, Beck acrimoniously departed the Yardbirds. “They kicked me out … f..k them,” he waspishly noted during the band’s 1992 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

It still sounded ahead of the curve when it turned up on Beck’s solo album Truth two years later. [..]presaged the sound of Led Zeppelin, the band Jimmy Page formed from the wreckage of the now defunct Yardbirds. Truth beat Led Zeppelin’s eponymous debut into the shops by six months.

なんども出てきては忘れている単語ばかりですが。英語の前に話が面白すぎー。
BBC Radioの音楽番組を聞いている途中に速報が入りDJがすぐに曲をかけたのと、
直後のNews番組での訃報がさすがBBC Radioという感じでした。短い中にもちゃんとNigel Tufnelに言及してたし。。
やっぱり一般的にはHi Ho Silver Liningみたいですね。criticsはShapes of Things。私も60年代のが好みですけど。R.I.P.
