Eric "God" Clapton Thread (2 Viewers)

[Led-Zep]

I went through the search function and was very surprised to see no thread dedicated to one of the greatest if not the best guitarists of all time. anyway if started this so that fans can discuss the genuis of this man.etc..

 

[bowman]

i have never really listened to his stuff.....i dont think it gets as much airplay as what it should

 

[hiphophorray123]

great stuff i have his greatest hits, great album

 

[thejosiekiller]

unfortunately i dont know as much as i should about him

however

if you saw me in heaven would you know my name?

 

[dark`secrets]

ahahah
thats the only track i have by him
good stuff josie

 

[Grobus]

No way. I think he expressed himself well with the guitar and all, but I wouldnt call him the best.

He was at his best when he was with Cream IMO. White Room is amazing.

TRIVIA: Savoy Truffle by the Beatles was written by Lennon about how Eric Clapton would eat whole boxes of other peoples chocolate when they smoked weed together,

 

[bowman]

u love ur weed

 

[Grobus]

Its true though. Eric Clapton was also the guy who introduced Lennon to heroin.

i prefer tom morello or karl sander's guitaring

 

[thejosiekiller]

well i wouldnt have it any other way in the end i guess- i mean what if he didnt?

 

[loquasagacious]

He also ripped off Bob Marleys song about the sheriff.

 

[Grobus]

w0w what a great guy he is

I dont think they realised how bad a heroin addiction is. Plus I think John Lennon would have gone there anyway since hed taken other opiates before.

Guys it's called a "cover". I spose you've never heard of it........

This guy is amazing. He's my favourite. I've got heaps of his CDs, DVDs (Live in Hyde Park is AMAZING especially in 5.1).
My favourite song would have to be the unplugged version of Layla (love playing it on guitar) but I love his old rock stuff too and his blues stuff is great.
But while I worshipped him a year ago now my musical taste is broadening, but I still think he is one of the greatest.

haha yeah i was inclined to think that someone reads a lil bit too much Rolling Stone ;p

 

[Farnarcle]

Yeh, I love his 'Unplugged' stuff I used to listen to it most days. I've also seen him on the 'Concert for George' and 'The Last Waltz'.
