Very sad when I heard the news today that he had passed. Between Beck, Hendrix & Robin Trower they all got me through my wild twenties in the late 60's and early 70's. There's something about those English guitarist back in those days. RIP !!
Thankfully James Hetfield & Kirk Hammet WILL be shredding for another 20 years, they mentioned Beck in their 2009 r&r hof inductance speech as one of their influences.
