[kydub89]

"Dusty, why don't you explain to Melissa......why you are the way you are." - Bill

[Whitewolf102787]

[bunchalinks]

twister = fucking great.

[Mobius4077]

I fuckin love how like I click this song, and the first thing I notice is a Twister reference.

[armymen12002003]

[themonnalisa]

Se uscisse una religione che venerasse Clapton io sarei la prima seguace....

[monkeesfan1980]

[PliskinNH]

Works fine for me...

[Doughfoot]

Can someone else upload this? I'm tired of watching dots go in circles

[thegeezerdan]

What a song.

[Doughfoot]

Funny, youtube screws over other users because of copyright crap so that these cunts can get more views and shit...and their vidoes DON'T FUCKING PLAY!

[Mobius4077]

I love how like half the comments on this video are Twister related

[dielauwen]

I was in grade school when I did this arrangement ,Forrester was his manager. It was my first guitar. The song was on a old record . I listened to it dozens of times tillcould make out the words. Who wrote It? Don't know. A 12 string ,a drum ,and a tamborine. Forrester made a tape of me singing and banging on a out of tune plywood guitar and stomping my foot . Derek plays it real good. Who has the tape?

[cocochanelleke]

very good song - although they make it clear that woman/child remains the nigger of the world.

nice boots mr. clapton, by the way.

[JamesJimmaHarding]

Dusty has a message for the 6 people who DL'ed this - "LOSERS! MOVE ON!"

[ginseng1550]

Behind what? the brick wall? the Bearded lady? what?

[Terminator174]

@ginseng1550 oh it's the highway

[OtakuGatsu90]

.....Live?

[gvac]

The odd time signature of this song is so freaking cool. Any musicians know what it is?



[woodbell67]

@gvac it's reg. 4/4 time, but the accents make it interesting.

the accent on the "and" after 2 ( ONE and two AND three and four and ONE etc...) on bass drum

against the bass guitar (too tired to figure out) and the straight strumming on guitars.

Polyrhythmic. But it's all 4/4 time unless I'm mistaken.

[cdb200001]

@gvac woodbell67 is right. It's in 4/4. It's just sub-divided into 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2.

[zealberg]

1:37 premier 252 bass drum pedal what a great rhythm section I wish my bar band would rehearse

[zealberg]

1:37 premier 252 bass drum pedal

[shamanpredrag]

[123metalgods]

Thumbs up iif you watched this after watching twister :)

[Berlusfan]

[sporejunkie89]

The center of the tornado is called the suck-zone

[ehatt600]

@sporejunkie89 "Not the technical term for it, obviously" :P

[sporejunkie89]

@ehatt600 I know, but Dusty is so awesome! He needs his own half hour sitcom. lol

[rosslmoerschell]

yall remember this song being in the movie Twister? haha great song

[Ryoken77]

does anyone love the blues anymore?  It seems like no one knows who Robert Johnson or Son House is.....what a shame.......

[DJTEMEKA]

@Ryoken77 I dunno blues too well but i LOVE EC! I'm south Afrcan and I got tickets to his gig in London in May. Loving That!! :)

[viewer1035]

,,,,,,,and I bet you wish you were here, DICKHEAD

[grannynara]

Geez..I kina liked the commercial, about Page Yogurt? (ducking as rotten tomatoes are being thrown at me)....it's good stuff! As yogurt goes. (I make my own). OK, the video is outstanding!

[sparksmeow]

Happy Birthday Eric :)

[JesseVenturaSeals]

We have to find the people who disliked this and force them to listen to 10 hours of lady gaga.

[JesseVenturaSeals]

I don't even need sex in my life, I would rather listen to this.

[Folter]

this just feels right...

[memfisman]

Super! Bravo! The 4 who did not like this have been turned into pillars of salt.

[MEtubeee96]

OMG NO ONE CARES ABOUT LEFT OVER DESERT .... advertisments ughhh

[TheCasinoCat]

the 4 who dislike is pretty much GAY!!!

[fayeslover]

the 4 people that disliked this were killed by a tornado

[sporejunkie89]

@fayeslover God it would suck if it turned out the people who clicked dislike were actually from North Carolina.

[Howulikethem23apples]

jeeej dusty!!

[manuelzeraus]

Me encantó este tema en cuanto lo escuché en el ensayo que tuvo en New York en 1994, y aún hoy no deja de fascinarme.

[CrazyDiamondCat]

For anyone to say that Clapton is merely a "good" musician but not a "great" one is like saying they've got their heads "just a little bit" stuck up their asses.

[YoungTrickah]

holy crap heard this song from twister in 96 and i never knew clapton sang this , awesome

[grint34]

Most of you haven't even heard a good guitarist. I think Clapton is a very predictable guitarplayer. Not very good.

[1984twofourfive]

@grint34 if you dont think eric clapton is good you are an idiot.

[Clockwork12782]

@1984twofourfive Yup. But he's just very good, not great. His pinnacle was 1967. Once he got off heroin, it was all downhills

[gre1990]

@grint34 Yeah, hes not like 'wow' but i just prefer him over those show-off shreders now days. BTW, blues is supossed to played simple and easy.

[razoredge45]

@grint34

Wow that has to be one of the dumbest statements I have ever heard in my life! Its freaken Clapton! The guys a legend and the reason he appears you to be predictable is because you lack the ability to identify style, he is the benchmark for integrating American blues in to main stream and 40 years in the Music industry just proves he is always un-predictable and he has the gold records to prove it!

[yellowman7358]

@grint34 I bet you don't even play. You sure as hell don't know great when you hear it.

[jdrock14]

@grint34 You Live in the Netherlands, what the hell do you know about music? My advice - go to Amsterdam, smoke some weed, carve some wooden shoes and leave the music to us.

[grint34]

@jdrock14 You mean: leave the music to stupid Americans, who think Moscow is in Australia? Why don't you put on your Justin Bieberrecord...

[jdrock14]

@grint34 Are you talking about the stupid Americans that are the most powerful country in the world. All you did was make Americans hate you more. Nice job.

[grint34]

@jdrock14 You mean the most destructive country. Thanks to that shock and awe-idiot George Bush. Your democracy is a farce, with multinationals buying the elections, corrupt politicians and a powerless president. Crimerate? Unseen. 1 out of 200 Americans is in jail. Your infrastructure is oldfashioned, the goverment finances are in such a poor state that it could take the world into a new crisis. And what do you do? You wanna sing the national anthem....

[jdrock14]

@grint34 Not that anyone would want it. But, if someone tried to take over your country, who do you think would help you?

[grint34]

@jdrock14 Well in fact, the US of A has already taken over. If an American warcriminal is prosecuted by the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the US of A has the right to invade Holland and free the prisoner. George Bush arranged that in an official law, thought out by his republican friends. So everybody has to obey to international law, except American soldiers, who can murder whoever they want without ever being held responsible by the international community.

[jdrock14]

@grint34 The U.S. has spent billions on protecting countries that can't protect themselves. We have sent billions of dollars and thousands of troops in AID for countries all over the world who needed it. What exactly has your country done for anyone? P.S. Stop quoting all this political bullshit, its embarrassing.

[grint34]

@jdrock14 Of course it's embarrassing. Especially when you've had a bad education and watch Fox News all day long. We invented slavery, so thanks to us you have a black president. We killed hundred thousands of people in the 17th century when we kolonised half the world and robbed countries of their wealth. After we robbed them, we divided them with our army to keep the peace. So yes, we have done 'great' things too. The difference is: we're not proud of it....

[jdrock14]

@grint34 Anyway, back to the original point. Through the course of his long career, E.C. has played so many different types of music, forever changing playing styles, genres, etc. How in the world can you call E.C. (of all people) predictable? Also, you say he's not very good. I'm dying to hear who you think is better.

[grint34]

@jdrock14 Eric Clapton always plays the same licks and riffs. Musicwise he is nowhere near guitarists like Jimmy Page, David Gilmour or Jan Akkerman, (watch 'Jan Akkerman on his lute') Technically people like Paul Gilbert (watch 'technical difficulties') of Buckethead are superior, which doesn't necessarely make them good musicians. But to call Clapton God is like cursing in the church. He doesn't impress me at all with his easy listening Phil Collins FM-radiorock.

[jdrock14]

@grint34 I watched "Jan on his lute" and when I woke up, It was clear to me that there is no discussing music with someone who would compare that crap with E.C. This last comment of yours is really unsettling. Feel free to get the last word in, because I am done with you. U.S.A.

[grint34]

@jdrock14 Like I said: it's no sense communicating with someone that isn't educated. By the way: Akkerman was voted the best guitarist in the world by Melody Maker in 1973. Probably never heard of that either? Just put on your Justin Bieber record. That's all the U.S. of A,a.a. (wow man) has to offer these days.

[jdrock14]

@grint34 You're right, I forgot about all the musical talent that came from the Netherlands. Let's see, there's umm...umm...umm...Oh that's right, there isn't any!!!!!!!!!

[grint34]

@jdrock14 Your level of stupidity has reached another high. Eddie and Alex Van Halen are Dutch, so are Focus, Shocking Blue, The Golden Earring, Brainbox and Captain Beefheart. So there's a little talent in every country. Even you must have a talent for something, although it is not clear what for. I think you would be perfect to join the American army or something....

[newaccountdebzbd]

@grint34 Where were you educated? I use the term advisedly. Slavery was "invented" a good long time before the Phoenician and Sumerian cultures. In fact, it was "invented" the minute one group found it could terrorize another group. Your connection between this ancient practice and the USA having a black president lacks any kind of logic. In the 17nth century -- meaning the 16 hundreds, you realize -- the "USA" was a good century away from even existing...

[grint34]

@newaccountdebzbd The international slave trade was setup by the Dutch, which explains why so many black people live in so many different parts of the world. (Your Dutch sucks by the way.) Slavery in itself is as old as human kind. Nowadays you have Youtubeslaves: people who like to comment on everything they don't agree with, presenting themselves as so cold 'moraalridders'. Of course it wasn't Americans who butchered the Indians. It was the English. They also put a man on the moon.

[newaccountdebzbd]

@grint34 My Dutch is nonexistent and my English isn't even that good. But I try to avoid large statements, when I say anything at all. The first ship carrying a few unlucky black guys to the as-yet-unnamed colonies was captained by a Dutchman. After that, the Netherlands were distinctive for their ABSENCE from the trade. Thank you for the word "moraalridders" and sorry if I offended you.

[grint34]

@newaccountdebzbd Your knowledge of Dutch history also seems to be nonexistent.The Dutch shipped 450.000 slaves to mainly Brasil and Surinam. If you call that ABSENCE, then thats a very,...very large statement.....

[newaccountdebzbd]

@grint34 Large indeed. As large as my assumption that we were discussing the slave trade such as it was in the American South. Your focus is clearly much larger and I'm not prepared to deal with it.

[newaccountdebzbd]

HISTORY LESSON #2 ...so, the future USA was a century away from breaking off from England. Of course, it was England that built an Empire, killed many thousands, and had many thousands of their own people killed in the process of COLONIZING, which you spell with a C, dumbass. But at least dragged half the world a little closer to modernism and a little further from their own isolated, half-witted tribal bullshit. History is no one's fault. It just happens. Read some books, ALL of you.

[jdrock14]

@newaccountdebzbd Heh, I'm not the one spewing all this crap. so don't dump your bullshit in my in-box!!

[newaccountdebzbd]

@jdrock14 Blinded by my own brilliance, I somehow sent to you rather than grint34. Apologies to all.

[jdrock14]

@newaccountdebzbd Well, we can certainly use some brilliance in the tube, welcome!

[CheyenneSmoker1990]

God this song is good!

[grint34]

Sounds very much like a rip off from Bluesmaker, by Fred McDowell.

[stoinge]

tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuune!!!

[plareen]

Another great song from our legend.

[Daggerdog10]

i thought this was another name for "Motherless Children"

[Daggerdog10]

@LambiSinClair same

[recchem420]

why is this labeled (Live)?

I mean, its a rockin' tune, one of my faves, but there is nothing live about it.

[dennyfrontier]

"All Im saying is dont fold the maps. I didnt fold the maps! Well Kansas is a mess theres a big crease right through Wichita, roll the maps!"

[d2pwow]

@dennyfrontier Hey! I didn't realize that "Motherless" was in that movie! Now that you mention it ... roll the maps! :D

[z50sto]

i love this song... it reminds me of my father... he was the best thing that has ever happened to me....wished he were still here wit me today...

[ehatt493]

Whenever I hear this, I think of Dusty from Twister...

[rudemood2011]

[keeshateachphet]

song started then the stupid commercial finally loaded and interrupted the song.. I HATE IT.. youtube.. learn from Myspace... it was great and then failed and facebook took over because myspace was doing stupid crap like this... interruptions, ads, etc... now myspace is an annoying service... myspace refused to allow me to delete my profile so i had to upload porn and flag my own profile in order for myspace to cancel my account

[Linscape99]

@keeshateachphet Get an ad blocker. Don't tolerate the people who just want money regardless of who they piss off.

At the song: Pure greatness. I'm really glad I've seen Twister.

[QuiffQuiffPass1]

@keeshateachphet LOL upload porn to flag your own account to be cancelled ahaha thats hilarious!

[schnotzarella]

OK this one rates a favorite.

[truecinema]

How was this video copyrighted in 2007 when it appears in the movie Twister, a movie from 1996?

[techieadam]

@truecinema They renew the copyright.

[jmaevine]

[MrNuggettt]

@jmaevine haha mine to dude..I love this song..signs by tesla was his favorite song though so I heaRd that more

[StillJamming]

One of my favorite songs from 'From the cradle'!

Clapton is the best!!:)

[jthiebs07]

@StillJamming I definitely agree. This song is what got me into EC

[bjackman080184]

Barbeque Bob's version all the way... this is happy!! not the blues I like white man.

Anyone know any other better versions?

[thinlinefan]

clapton is legendary!!

[downlink1306]

Silly child, you think you can compare Van Halen to Clapton?

[mastart85]

@downlink1306 my god you- missed the point all together

[mastart85]

well Clapton was on his way to obscurity when Eddie mentioned he was his hero and that rebooted Clapton's career-im sure Clapton might have done this kind of project at some point but i did notice a boost after the Van Halen mention.

[jdrock14]

@mastart85 Wait!! You're telling me that Clapton's career was rebooted because Van Halen mentioned somewhere that Clapton was his hero. OH MY GOD!!! YOU ARE A #*@&* IDIOT!!! You are not allowed to discuss Clapton ever again.

[mastart85]

@jdrock14 not intirely you turd-hey i like Clapton as a song writer - im just doin the math - back when i saw it happen- Clapton was doin nothin- Eddie was the biggest thing in the world when he mentioned it- next thing i see Clapton come out with a new album and then another-maybe it was coincidence but me and everyone i knew barely remembered Clapton as just some ex 60's guy-i guess thats an age thing. oh well -whatever- but hey im still discussing Clapton -uh oh!

[cocochanelleke]

thanks for sharing, couldn't find the original cassette I bought - very much appreciated & keep well

[mastart85]

thanks to Eddie Van Halen we get this song

[axltyler]

@mastart85 what do you mean?

[xXNightXxXManXx]

Yea Dusty Fuckin Rulez...Oh..And The Song It Great

[mastart85]

HermitintheRain- no one knows who wrote it but the first one to make it known is Robert "Barbeque Bob" Hicks-1920s

[fastfuse1000]

yeh i found it from twister.different class

[Highvoltageism]

Cool little Jam!
