to all those commenting on EC's sense of humour... he's well known for it actually. It doesn't always come up in his gigs, but he has a great sense of humour. He's a big fan of Monty Python, and loves a laugh. As evidenced by him playing the stick bass.
he isn't right now of course... but go look at some of the stuff he did with cream back in the day... nobody can right now or ever will be able to play anything as amazing as crossroads
fuckin right, yngwie plays that new age hair metal eric is the blues man, render unto cearsers that which is ceasers and give the rest to tha nasty man
My hero. Eric inspired me to take my guitar playing seriously and get into the blues. I'm reading his autobiography at the moment, what a life, an amazing guy.
I hope I do too, It will rip my heart out of my body when and if I ever hear the news this man is no longer with us! He is the reason I started playing the guitar, I really admire him and his talent.
I can't help but to end up all steamy and sweaty after watching this interview (either part). - and I am NOT a gay man. Just thought you would all like to know that.
Anyone British -- what does he say in response to "It's what you don't play"? - 'It's all . . .'bong'' ? I couldn't hear it clearly. And also, what does he call the (you know what) in the photo with the perm? All I could interpret was something like 'a japanese wood burner.'
And regarding what was in his hand I THINK he says "Oh, a Woodbine I think."
Incase you don't know - "Bollocks" in that context basically means "bullshit!", (although it can be used in a billion different ways), and Woodbines (if that's what he did say) are an old, cheap, British, unfiltered strong brand of Cigarettes.
Eric rocks my world too, although he say's that he is losing his touch with age. He has said that he can still play but he is losing his stamina.....I don't agree, he still has the "Magic Touch" CLAPTON IS GOD
Oh my God.Eric Clapton looks so so sexy on this video. I'm a mad fan but he looks fab on this and Frank Skinner is brilliant and great craic interviewing him. Love you Eric,
Yes, I totally agree. It's nice to see him relaxed and looking happy. This was the year he met his sweetheart (now wife); I'm wondering if that has something to do with it, or they had not yet met. But Frank Skinner is a brilliant and hilarious interviewer.
i've seen eric live 5 times, and i've gotta tell ya, i could've used a little more stick bass....i mean he ain't bad at guitar....but when he whips out that stick bass...look out man
Clapton is God
