“ #ChasChandler recalled, “Clapton stood there and his hands dropped off the #guitar. He lurched off the stage.” #Clapton himself recalled the event, “Of course #Jimi played it exactly like it ought to be played, and he totally blew me away.” www.guitarworld.com/artists/guit... #JimiHendrix #music

“He took some small songs of mine that nobody paid any attention to and turned them all into classics”: 11 cover songs that Jimi Hendrix made his own – including one that became Eric Clapton’s favorite Hendrix track

Once Hendrix turned his Stratocaster upon a song it would never be the same again. Just ask Bob Dylan

Sing it with me, Americans

WASHINGTON DC, USA.— We've rewritten Cream's classic hit, 'White Room' to reflect on alleged pedophile and alleged child sex trafficker, US President Donald John Trump and all of his MAGA followers who clap along like seals in Hudson Bay.

Kyle Memoir 🍉🐧May 13

I don't spend a lot of time on rock artist bios, but having just read some stuff on another artist that led me to Clapton's wiki bio, I have to say I've never fully appreciated what a dick he's been:

I've commented here before on how 'Lay Down Sally' strikes me as a 'no means yes' sort of thing; it makes more sense now.

Eric Clapton’s opinion on Oasis and Britpop

#ericclapton #clapton #oasis #rock #Music

El Pamplina 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 May 8
Varios colegas que fueron ayer al concierto de #Clapton en Madrid han vuelto muy decepcionados. Tocó 13 canciones en 1h y 20m, faltando alguna muy esperada como Wonderful Tonight. Para colmo se fue sin tocar bises porque un imbécil le tiró un disco al escenario. Precios alrededor de 150 pelotes lo más barato. 😐️
"Clapton se paró unos segundos y siguió el trayecto hacia las escaleras. Pero ya no estaba de humor. Se le vio unos segundos en una pasillo lateral, sus músicos expectantes. Entonces zarandeó la mano indicando que se largaban. Y nos perdimos el final gracias a un fan temerario con puntería. El seguidor, argentino, según informan a EL PAÍS fuentes de la promotora, había escrito una nota de cariño que adjuntó al vinilo." #música

Afgelopen vrijdag mijn grote gitaarheld, de inmiddels 81-jarige Eric Clapton weer live aan het werk gezien in Amsterdam. Van ronkende gitaren tot een prachtige, verstilde, akoestische set op een avond met ook een paar verrassende nummers: ‘If I Don’t Be There By Morning’ en ‘Golden Ring’, allebei van het album ‘Backless’ uit 1978. Uiteraard ontbraken ook de klassiekers niet. Kortom, een topavond!

“So which group did #Clapton consider the best live #band of the #classic-rock era? His answer was the #AllmanBrothersBand, who emerged just as #Cream were nearing the end of their run.” www.guitarplayer.com/guitarists/w... #music #MusicSky #EricClapton #JackBruce

“We were really limited onstage.” Eric Clapton on the group he said achieved what Cream could not

Jack Bruce said Clapton had doubts about Cream from the start. “I remember him saying, ‘This is a good recording band, but it will never be a good live band.’”

Mark Knopfler’s opinion on Eric Clapton

Mark Knopfler's opinion on Eric Clapton

Mark Knopfler is one of the most unique guitarists of his generation. His style is hard to copy, especially because he uses his fingers instead of a guitar pick, which, combined with his musical influences, makes it really hard for someone to replicate his technique. With the success of Dire Straits, he caught the attention […]

“When I was a teenager he was one of my greatest heroes, along with #Hendrix, #Clapton and #Beck,” says Fenn. “Peter had such a glorious touch thanks to his wonderful simplicity, but then he went off the rails and became a gravedigger.” #PeterGreen www.guitarworld.com/artists/guit... #GuitarSky

“I got a call from a manager who was trying to drag him out of obscurity. We jammed daily, but he was away with the fairies”: Rick Fenn on the time he tried to help bring Peter Green back into the limelight

The late Fleetwood Mac guitarist was a hero of Fenn's, so when the call came in to help Green out, there was only one answer. But whatever happened to the music?
