Eric Clapton

What's the verdict?

great, if boring at times, guitarist
mediocre songwriter
works well with other talented musos

in short a bit of a session musician

Did you know Tears in Heaven was originally titled I Killed Conor?

He killed his son

What's your game?

He played the guitar solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps at George Harrison's request and still cucked him. Phenomenal guitarist, but a bit of an asshole

boring boomer rock
racist

>bit of an asshole
All good musicians are

Good but usually uninteresting and easily worse than Jimmy Page. I always liked the song Cocaine. The riff makes me feel like im doing coke.

Cream is good as are his other 60s groups like blind faith or Derek and the dominos
His solo stuff....ehh

WOGS

Great up through 1970. Everything after that is bland boomer muzak with few exceptions.

Lol, Georgia deserved it. He cucked Ringo. What kinda guy has it in them to cuck Ringo?

ENOCH'S OUR MAN

The poster boy of boomer buttrock, of little importance in the the grand scheme of 20th century rock music.

Based simply for the fact he plays black music yet is still racist af

Cocaine isn't even his song, it's a cover of JJ Cale. Clapton kinda sucks at writing songs.

Blind Faith was a good band. Don't care much about him overall though.

The man knows his way around a fret board.

love his 70s live shows,dont like any albums including cream stuff

>Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. Wogs I mean, I'm looking at you. Where are you? I'm sorry but some fucking wog...Arab grabbed my wife's bum, you know? Surely got to be said, yeah this is what all the fucking foreigners and wogs over here are like, just disgusting, that's just the truth, yeah. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. You fucking (indecipherable). I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch's our man. I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking [indecipherable] don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don't want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck's sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he's a great man, speaking truth. Vote for Enoch, he's our man, he's on our side, he'll look after us. I want all of you here to vote for Enoch, support him, he's on our side. Enoch for Prime Minister! Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!

replace black with muslim and he's completely right

He's a great guitarist and has been involved in a number of timeless rock albums, but he really is overrated as fuck. Many of his contemporaries at the time, like Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, and Jeff Beck, shat all over him. To rank him among or higher than them is just fucking ridiculous.

hes better than Allman but ill give you the other two, Allman was also second fiddle to Dickey Betts which isnt bad considering Betts is the best classic rock guitarist of all time

>he really is overrated as fuck
Clapton is God and Kilgore was here were pretty much the first memes

Should've died in 1970 instead of Hendrix or Duane

Allman grumped by Dickey Betts? I thought Duane was the dude of that band.

i always felt Betts was lightyears ahead

Layla means he's patrician 4 life

any examples in song form?
and didn't Allman play all the good shit on that song?

all of Eat a Peach

Extremely mediocre guitar player, any opinion to the contrary is utterly naive boomery.

Pretty good songwriter

dead son / 10

Boring goodwillcore

>boring boomer rock
lame
>racist
sweet

I like Cream

Third most talented member of Cream

you mean God? yeah, he's pretty great, man.

>I always liked the song Cocaine. The riff makes me feel like im doing coke
Sick 70s driving tune.

Journeyman [Reprise, 1989]
How about calling it Hack? Layla and 461 Ocean Boulevard were flukes--he has no record-making knack. So instead he farms out the songs, sings them competently enough, and marks them with his guitar. Which sounds kind of like Mark Knopfler's. C

Wonderful Tonight has one of the worst guitar hooks I've ever heard.

pls explain this???

Clapton and Bob Seger both gave up on life when they hit 30 and decided to be boring muzak rock for the rest of their lives.
