>>129062394Better than hendrix by a mile
Not when he did Pilgrim, nuts to that album.>please feel sorry for me because I was coked out of my mind and dropped my kid out a window :(

>>129062536ngl I kind of like the title track it's got the late 90s soul funk thing going like curtis mayfield style https://youtu.be/8V9tSQuIzbQBut that My Father's Eyes song should be yeeted from a high rise window
IF I COULD CHANGE THE WORLD I'D PUT YOU IN MY ASS AND YOU'D LIVE THERE
Cream was a good band. He did nothing after that but pure slop.
>>129062582>>129062536The only thing worse than this was Thousand Roads in which David Crosby asks the audience to feel sorry for him for going to jail on drug and weapons charges.
>>129062606Why are you such a fucking retard?
>>129062606>derek and the dominoesFound the retard
>>129062394>>129062606Layla is one of the greatest rock songs ever, and the outro kills me every time.Nothing else he did was even remotely on that level.
overrated pentatonic noodler who played the lamest most uninteresting shallow and soulless blueshe was also the weak link in Cream
>hendrix cucks seething rn
>>129062394
>>129063167Definitely the weakest member, but he was the one who held them together long enough to at least release music.
>>129062394third most talented member of Cream
>>129062394Boring noodler in a style that was cool only in the 60sI liked his unplugged show tho, good coffeeshop tunes
Legendary samefagging in here. Clapton broke the cucks.
Hes too nuanced and tasteful for normies. Out of all of the great guitar players no one has influenced popular music nor have they had the hits and longevity hes had
>suddenly think about the song after midnight for some reason>decide to look it up on jewtube so I can listen to it>the clapton version is only the 3rd one on the results list>top one with 4x as many views is some gay shitI think the same thing happens with crossroads. to be fair they were covers to begin with, but I still don't like this feel.
>>129062394slow hands
>>129062598I looked up these lyrics but AI refused to help. I guess even AI hates Clapton.
better than chuck berry
Not big on the music,but I'm a huge fan of his politics
>>129062606>Cream was a good bandNowhere near as good as the Yardbirds
He was right about the wogs and never should have apologized. Look at England now
>>129067346It's from a cumtown bit
>>129062394>I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man.pretty based
Journeyman [Reprise, 1989]Would you prefer he call it Hack instead? Layla and 461 Ocean Boulevard were flukes--he has no knack for making records. 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
>>129067729embarrassing thing to admit
>>129067475Wonder if Page was as fucked up here as he was at the Live Aid concert
>>129067475what guitar is page playing
>>129068487Telecaster
>>129062823>Layla is one of the greatest rock songs ever, and the outro kills me every time.>Nothing else he did was even remotely on that level.That's because it wasn't hisThe iconic piano outro of Eric Clapton's "Layla" is widely believed to have been stolen from singer-songwriter Rita Coolidge, who co-wrote the melody with her then-boyfriend, drummer Jim Gordon, but never received songwriting credit; Gordon took sole credit, a decision Coolidge later detailed in her memoir, highlighting a significant, uncredited contribution to the song's famous closing section. The Story:>Collaboration: In 1970, while dating, Coolidge and Gordon worked on a song called "Time," with Coolidge developing the haunting piano melody that would become the coda for "Layla".>The Theft: When the Derek and the Dominos album was released, Gordon was credited with writing the coda, while Coolidge was left uncredited, despite her claims.>Clapton's Acknowledgment: Eric Clapton later acknowledged her contribution, stating he heard Gordon play it and agreed to use it, but the official credits remained unchanged.>Coolidge's Experience: In her memoir, Delta Lady, Coolidge described how she was rebuffed when seeking credit and found a way to accept it by knowing her work benefited Gordon's daughter.>Gordon's Fate: Jim Gordon was later diagnosed with schizophrenia and tragically murdered his mother in 1983, spending the rest of his life in prison.
>>129069000Now explain all of that again, but this time without Chatgpt.
>>129069075Clapton nicked the Layla outro from Rita Coolidge's "Time."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwJgWqLTeCw
>>129062394tulsa sound era was his peak.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8P0EVFKV74&list=RDU8P0EVFKV74&start_radio=1
>>129062394Absolutely love Cream and DATDHis solo stuff is mostly trash
>>129067801this review was written by a complete asshat who knows nothing about music
>>129062394I saw him live in Hype Park. He was the best guitar player I've ever heard and I knew it after he only played a couple of notes.I don't know how to describe it other than he played with such authority that everybody else just felt flat next to him. Never heard anything like it.He is genuinely the best player I've ever heard.
>>129070967I meant Hyde Park, not Hype park...
Behind The Sun [Duck, 1985]Eric Clapton and Phil Collins are two individuals who can count themselves as survivors (Collins and how). Clapton's never been the mediocre singer he's wont to declare himself in retiring moments, but his gift only made sense when laid-back was commercial and here he's not retiring, he's looking for work. For a variety of reasons, including current fashion, Collins mixes the drums very high and then induces Eric to, um, "project." Painful and bad. C-
>>129070967Mf-er has always been a rhythm guitarist who hates solos but at his concerts he's forced to do 10 minutes of lame blues shredding like a trained seal because the audience expects it.
>>129071067He's great at rhythm and solo playing and has a great voice.He had a little acoustic part of his set and did a couple of songs where it was just him sitting on a chair alone in front of a sea of people. That bit really got to me more than the electric parts with the band and solos and stuff. He was just so fucking good man
>>129071067Cuckgau noted that as far back as 1970 or so that concert audiences loved bands doing 15 minute solos but he could never understand why.
>>129068487B bender tele... –'58 iirc–
>>129070967>I don't know how to describe it other than he played with such authority that everybody else just felt flat next to him. Never heard anything like it.You can see video proof of this in The Band's The Last Waltz concert film where Eric makes Robbie Robertson, who is a great soloist in his own right, look like a one trick pony in comparison to Clapton
>>129062598IT WOULDN'T BE GAY. I WOULD BE LIKE A GUNDAM
>>129068487>>129068597i think all of zep 1 and 2 were recorded on a telecaster. before he moved on to LP's
>>129068487His one.
What's the difference between a toddler and a bag of cocaine?
>>129067801>Which sounds kind of like Mark Knopfler's.How did EC ever recover from this sick burn? Cuckgau never fails to get a laugh out of me.
He killed his son just so he could write a sappy song.
>>129071921Easy. Cocaine is a powdered drug. A toddler is a small child. Why do you ask?
>>129072032Eric Clapton would NEVER let a bag of cocaine fall out of a 2 story window
Backless [RSO, 1979]Whatever else he isn't anymore--guitar genius, secret humanitarian, God--Clapton remains king of the Tulsa sound and here he provides three new sleepytime classics. All are listed on the front sticker and none were written by Bob Dylan. One more and this would be creditable. C+
his worst songs? oh boy, easily the ballads like Wonderful Tonight, Promises, etc. boring beer commercial music is boring.
>>129074899>Wonderful Tonightgreat song>>129072115He might if he was distracted by a baby
>>129068320That's a very mean thing to say about my best friend Nick. Their bit is also the only good Clapton related thing ever.
>>129072115he didnt let his kid fall out a window either. wasnt even there when it happened but memesters gonna meme
>>129075077so his kid fell out of a window 100% unsupervised? that's even worse, dumbass.
>>129064840How exactly did he influence popular music? Honest question.
>>129075151NTA but read up on it.
>>129075278either way, clapton was coked out of his mind and neglected his kid. his kid died as a result. those are the FACTS. sorry chuddie (:
>>129062606>He did nothing after that but pure slop.Idk, defenestrating his little dumbass kid was pretty cool too
>>129075151>100% unsupervised?>hurrdurrno you stupid cunt. The kid was with the mother and the nanny...they let him fall out the window.
>>129075298
>>129075298Asked to read >didn't (or can't)>keyboard warrior tier insults Sorry but I haven't got time for you (same as everyone else you've ever met). Best of luck.
>>129075409then clapton should have been there to save his son instead of doing lines of blow with a groupie.
>>129075423sure thing billy
>>129075273Cream created a "heavy blues" style which is the archetype sound for bands like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. His soloing was also influential because prior to his playing 60s guys mostly did simple or "freak out" solos, Claptons solos were more of a thought out narrative that served to compliment and enhance the music. listen to the John Mayall Blues Breaker album, nobody was playing like that then
>>129075420you gonna cry? cry for the dead son that clapton killed
>>129075457Do you want in on a little secret?
>>129075481no.
>>129062514Lol no
