Bigruss doesn't know anything about eric clapton. you think he is not talented and he wouldn't last a day now that (according to you) there is more competition?? you know what, before saying crap get yourself a cd player and listen to some Derek and the Dominoes or some records from the 80s!That music nowadays would have wiped out all the recent shitty music you probably listen to!! and you call that competition!! there is a reason why he is considered one of the best guitar players in the world
@nocturnalholocast He is great..but i think Jeff Beck is a true genius...never waivered from his roots, never sold out. Read the rolling stone interview w/ clapton & beck, the one with them on the cover.
Amazing exchange. I wonder just how much some really know. Opinion is one thing. Truth is another. Not going to be a dick about it but I do know folks who have played with him(one is in this video). What I know is contrary to one opinion dramatically. The successful career was built decades ago... and that makes it remarkable because considering the "here today, working at the car wash tomorrow" length of careers of most today, his is one to look up to, not mock.
You can all hate me, and comment and say i dont know what im talking about. But deep down, the real musicians out there know what im saying. If clapton was a fresh guitarist today his playing wouldnt amount to squat. Example: Before Reptile came out, he hired a band, and hit the clubs under a fake name, nobody gave it the time of day. no one. Then the press go hold that eric clapton is playing clubs and he abandoned his band, and turned the set list, into the album Reptile. what the fuck?!
hahahah what jokers you are how immature haters erics sold millions of records internationaly you guys are pathetic slagging off eric clapton mind why dont you get yourself a life youve taken the time to search him and get verbally abusive what are you children????
@Naitch1981 yeah i hate when he gives the solos to other members and not him, glad to see him witout a 2nd guitarist, it shows more of his awesomeness
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Must be nice to be endorsed by fender, play a custom made guitar that costs thousands, play out of amps that have been tweaked and modified to exact specifications not use anything thats stock. have a sound guy, a guitar tech and all the rest.... sometimes i wonder how clapton would do if his career had been in the 90's and 2000's as opposed to the 60's. 2/3s of his songs are written by someone else... Don't mind me , I am just a hater! Just completely envious of his bullshit.
@Bigrusssthefuss You're right - envy! You are probably the guy that runs a key down a Ferrari because you are jealous, rather than the guy that says "love that car, one day I will make a success of my life and own one of those."
yeah cuz if he can afford a ferrari then he can afford a new paint job! Besides someone who drives a ferrari is a piece of shit anyway! Probably some middle aged lawyer or young italian heir!
@jaygor1 no actually im an excellent song writer who can rip at the right times, unfortunately i am broke. You dont know anything about me so you have no right to make a conclusion about me, however i see what eric clapton uses and i do have a right to point that shit out. its so true, he is endorsed out his ass, you think he actually pays for his guitars or amps? when was the last time clapton tuned his guitar? or put strings on, or loaded his equipment, get real, If anything, Im the real deal
@Bigrusssthefuss im sure you can work that out. or maybe your one of these people who needs everything handed to them..cmon.. if your that good prove it..
@Bigrusssthefuss Brilliant, "a minute long riff of a song I'm working on" - you sound like you've been playing guitar for at most a week, although of course that just boosts my interest in seeing you 'rip'.
@Bigrusssthefuss Totally right there with you on that man. Really though you listen to the Freddie King recordings and wonder why anybody would ever spend money on this guy. I mean white English blues player? are you kidding me?
@Bigrusssthefuss Pricey guitar! Guitar tech to do the tuning whilst EC does his ironing. Paris Hilton, are you listening to Bigrussthefuss? There's hope for you yet! Meanwhile, EC awaits as Bigruss pens his own latest hit tune...oh,...we shouldn't expect it anytime soon? We are completely envious of your accomplishments. To paraphrase the circus man, there's a buffoon born every minute.
@Polynikes1066 Listen, You can hate on me all you like, by doing that you just show that you are a hypocrit. The Music Industry has changed alot. There are so many options these days that only the best is going to make it on top. Eric Clapton is lucky because hes made a name for himself when the choices were limited. He wouldnt survive today, if he was a fresh guitarist. I dont like him because his music (to me) has no soul. And hes playing a music created by blacks in a very hard time.continued
@Polynikes1066 but he can drive around in his maseratti, and get 20 $3,000 guitars for free. He also doesnt like to sign autographs and charges alot for shows, he had good intentions about opening a rehab facility, but it only caters to millionaires... He is a rich, stuck up, brit. He broke up a relationship with his best friend and stole his wife away only to cheat on her and get an italian model knocked up. His son conor, was kept in the dark, until he died tragically, and then Eric cared.
@Bigrusssthefuss yeah but when he was good he was second to only Hendrix and even Jimi couldn't match his intensity. Sadly Clapton expired in a bath of alcohol, technical neglect and self delusion--well when everyone is telling you you're great you're inclined to believe it, but I'll hang on to the passion of the '60 and 70's and forget most of what came after. ..
@Bigrusssthefuss thank God he discovered the blues when he did, and thank God he deserves to use the best equipment. It's probably ok to hate, but don't hate somebody that doesn't deserve it.
Look at 0:30 So high bend !! Eric Clapton is Strong in his fingers..Because hi is always bending with the ringfinger ; - )

I do wish when he plays Blues though he would take the first solo, rather than giving it to Christ Stainton - just loses a little energy for me!
