Nothing But The Blues - Part 1 - Martin Scorsese Eric Clapton

[martinharpboy]

ptij0404 your comments about Clapton...sucks !!!!

[donpancho321]

thaaaaaaaaaaaanks for the post



[109296]

Is at the original dvd the same sound quality??

[redriverbluesman]

Oh yeah, you folks know it all!!! Keep knockin' all the greats....there can only be "one" I guess! All these other mothers just wasted everyone's time......c'mon, give me a break.

This is a tribute to the blues. It's not even about Eric but rather his homage. I appreciate those who pay homage, not so much those who just hurl insults.

This is a favourite!!

[dadgadable]

no no no i am the best

[wisesatyr72]

Clapton got scared of Mr Howling..

[Bigbluesboy]

Well, Buddy Guy and BB King says Eric Clapton is the best, and i think they are right.. You find were they says it around her one youtube....

[ptij0404]

Eric Clapton is a good blues guitarist but boring and overrated! Page, Beck, Hendrix are much more fun to listen to.

[PolarSkua]

@ptij0404 Of the ones you list I only will listen to Hendrix.

[srvcarl77]

@ptij0404 For all the Clapton lovers, everyone can pick their favorite,, but I agree Clapton is overrated and boring,,, Page, Beck, Hendrix, Buddy Guy, Brian May and others put him to shame !!!! I myself think NOBODY,,, BUT NO BODY can stand up to Stevie Ray Vaughan !!!!!!!!!!! I don't care if you agree or not,, I could care less,,, Its MY personal view and NOTHING could change it !!!

[edge121587]

If Eric Clapton is so overrated then how come BB King, Buddy Guy, Muddy, etc.... have been playing with him since the star of his career? I guess they just have bad taste then?!?!?!

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

@edge121587 yeah i guess those guys just dont know what real blues are

[georgeglen]

Fantastic. Thanks :o)

[TheToocold]

Clapton is overated? Funny guy. By the way ,I am black.

[msa7arty]

@TheToocold are you sure about that comment?

[circlecloud1]

Love the ending with Buddy and Eric trading licks as young men. Priceless!! they've taught us all so much!

[TChilds1967]

Some great playing on this, and some great Blues too!

[SilvioDanteFanFMC691]

What Buddy Guy song is Eric talking about toward the end of the video? Is it "Let Me Love You Baby"?

[dezertfox4323]

Hendrix said Clapton had "the touch"

He just sounds great, I don't compare him to anybody.

[SKAuthenticDank]

Clapton is nowhere near the best. Im not going to argue who is, but I thought you should know.

[ragingbull2001]

@SKAuthenticDank fuck you fag

[SKAuthenticDank]

@ragingbull2001 haha close minded douchebag.

[metalliczombie]

@SKAuthenticDank Especially in the blues realm. Hell, there are even better white players than him. Michael Bloomfield, Peter Green, Stevie Ray Vaughan obviously, etc. Clapton is overrated.

[SKAuthenticDank]

@metalliczombie *highfive*

[ThomasDeLello]

@metalliczombie

You're so right...

[GuitarSlinger2112]

If Eric Clapton is God, then Joe Bonamassa is his son.

[ThomasBCullen]

@GuitarSlinger2112 bonamassa is a great guitarist but his songs have no attitude

[kalpubinc]

Eric Clapton learned and submitted to the study of the root-source of blues, the original black blues singers; thus Eric Clapton was taught by God and he then became The Son of God. Let us keep the hierarchy in its proper place, and not forget where Eric got it from. And indeed, the Son is like unto the Father and are one and the Same.

[lewars1912]

@kalpubinc Loved your comment. Yes, the Son is like unto the Father and are one and the Same, and so is his Sister and whoever shall say it not shall fly high in the sky like a burst balloon and Eric felt that wherever God is he is not there but is somewhere else that cannot be found for he is unfindable and Eric was very sad about this and began thinking that he was an atheist and thought it good but many people thought it not so good so Eric thought some more and decided to take a shit.

[barekallmeg]

What is the song called at 2:30? My god, where would we be if there was no blues in life! Ain't a perfect life for me, thats for sure!

[lewars1912]

@barekallmeg "Rollin' Stone". The Rolling Stones took their name from this song. Muddy uses the same guitar riff for "Still a Fool" which is even better.

[chechecomm]

Was Elvis really the king of rock & roll or was it Chuck Berry?

[haszpla]

@chechecomm It's just the way you see it, for me it's Chuck Berry and Elvis just riped off his songs and the media favorited him becouse he was white.

[madFlam1]

eric clapton needs to play less notes

[bloodnokian]

How badass is the drummer at 5.33?

[ElvisStillRules]

Eric sure knows how to treat a guitar.

[kinggagkk]

Great footage of Buddy Guy

[grahamm13]

whats the name of the song and that live performance at 4:13 ??

[SkinnerSG]

Clapton.....over-rated, english, shite.

[operalover67]

bellissimo

[266Jab]

88mpny~ clearly you don't understand the impact Clapton has.

[thelegendofcarsley]

Good jumper on Clappers. Reminds me of Quint's from Jaws.

[cgabler91191]

Thanks for the post, this is an awesome documentary!

[TheF86Sabre]

so there's only one idiot that passed this way!

[leanmachene]

Thank u for these uploads, im gratefull as im useing the info for a collage project as im studying for a music producer, in turn i will go into teaching and as sure as we stars in the sky i will pass the knolage on so its not forgotton.

[CletusColtrane]

I've heard Eric say his greatest influence is.......Buddy Guy,,,,heard him say Robert JOhnson, heard him say Muddy Waters, lol........changes all the time

[yanis3]

@CletusColtrane In this documentary in Part 1 he says that Muddy Waters was "the first who shook me up" and in part 2 he says that robert johnson was "the first thing that shook me up"

[rockncleve]

@CletusColtrane xactly Cletus.....Eric you play nice  leave it at that....but keith richards and rory gallagher can blues ya

[marzcandybarz]

Jimi Hendrix the best

[tiredguy71]

Love Buddy's hair lol.....Let your soul glo.....

[Jedsbbm]

I just read on the Layla video that he went into a racist anti-black rant back in 1976. Man, Eric, say it isn't so my man. I checked into it and it is true as the day. What do I do with all my Eric Clapton vinyls now? I don't want to support a racist but the things he said were pretty bad - actually awful. He said blacks had no place in white Britain. What would Bob Marley think? Man my head is in a spin and my gut is just punched man. Eric man, not you! Racism sucks. I'm crushed.

[aaronamccoy]

m uddy waters created electicity

[starryian007]

Although I understand the incredible skill and dedication involved I have never deeply enjoyed music that was 'depressing' ' Oh my life is so hard' type of thing. I have the deepest respect for Blues musicians, but far too much of it has an incredibly sad or miserable connotation - maybe it's 'cathartic'? Later of course wallowed in by groups such as The Smiths and incredibly irritating singers such as Michael Bolton - whom I desparately wanted to put an end to his constant and incessant misery.

[yordi193]

catfish blues on 1:30 ?

[jcandstonesfollower]

fuck....... ok. wow.

[eddythemountain]

what s that song playin at 4:17 by howlin wolf ???

thx

[Alraul2008]

The Blues didn't start in Chicago but it sure ended up there and is the home of the blues.....

[joedivision1992]

that telecaster would be worth serious money

[kasparovE4]

The part at the end when Clapton and Guy are jamming; Buddy throws his head back and “feels” the blues. Eric sees this and thinks “ok, let me show you that I can roll with the big boys too.” So then he closes his eyes and feels the blues as well. They’re both able to tap in to the spirit of the blues. Blues harmony.

[casu3]

what does martin scorsese and clapton have to do whit the blues they stupid honkys

[GeorgVanHalen]

@casu3 - Eric Clapton has played blues with basically every important blues player that been alive since he started and done a whole album with B.B. King.. I'd say Eric Clapton knows more about the blues than most men alive.

[casu3]

@GeorgVanHalen well u got to understand dat blues its somenthin inside u.

u got to be born whit it its not van halen or queen its real music comes from ur pain and ur dna

[GeorgVanHalen]

@casu3 I think all music is real music as long as somebody likes it. But I get what you are saying. You can't fake blues. Basically anyone can become a popstar (the two latest decade has proven that over and over) but blues isn't about the show or actual instrumental skill it's about having a certain feeling. Just like Punk is about having a certain attitude. If you don't you got the attitude it's not punk. It's just pop/rock or something alike.

[shinybald36]

i'm so envious

[1313stephen1313]

i personally think if u had to tag a guitar player a "guitar god" from that era it would b hendrix

[CletusColtrane]

Buddy Guy is too cool

[ROCKYMARCIANOXX0]

This is great, cheers for posting mate!!

[jimmyp73]

ha ha, buddy guy with jerry curls

[noctemacternus]

CLAPTON IS GOD !

[mrniceguy6000]

A god, there are many gods!

[mandolinorchid]

I already love Howlin Wolf, but the fact that he got pissed at Clapton makes me love Wolf even more :)

[dreamBrotherJB]

Can anyone tell me what the title of the Intro song is of the whole 'The Blues' documentary, used every time in the beginning of an episode.

I wanted to remeber some of the lyrics you get to hear, but then I forgot those, ...

[idwtsasoj]

B.B.king and buddy guy are great but you should dig deeper to the likes of son house, lead belly and Robert johnson

[EuchridEucrow1]

@idwtsasoj

Love Leadbelly and RJ. Haven't heard much Son House, though.

[Revmd]

They should of gotten Captain Beefheart to talk about Howlin Wolf.

[ganjisgood]

its interesting when you see the old black and white footage...everything looks so old: the clothes, the hair styles...everything BUT the guitars...timeless.

[Mrpantymelt]

The guy at 5:40 must have influenced Page a lot, I think its real similar sounding.

[ganjisgood]

that "guy" is THE guy...his name is Buddy Guy and he is awsome.

[ukandoittowithkandoo]

blues at its rawest

[McGraffix]

That Buddy Guy clip is all there is to it...early Buddy Guy is scorching...he kills everyone...nobody else plays like that...I'm biased because I adhere to the "Buddy Guy is God" school

[nr900]

I have recently joined this school of thought.

[JilaX]

Best school there is ;)

[ganjisgood]

hell yea...im seein him with B.B. next month...CANT WAIT!

[Jackle61]

"Clapton is God" is so over used these days it's almost meaningless.

[double91trouble]

haha Yea I agree. But Clapton is one of my favorite guitarists.

[Jackle61]

double91trouble: Sorry, I forgot to add that he is also one of my favorites,,, been listening to him for close to forty years.

[MITCHWILD]

Eric doesn't like the term either, he was by his own admission a bit of a big head when he was a young man, not anymore.

He's much older and wiser now, and realizes that no one is "best" ...........no such thing.

[naren2087]

clapton is god thats it...

[amd1588]

fucking culture bandits

[Miliana2571]

You fucking idiot raciste what do yo about culture..!!??

[Danjd1]

haha buddy guy with a jerry curl

[altmegido]

Clapton is God

[gustavoandrian]

with a black dog pissing on it!!!!

[Miliana2571]

He's guitar God you may say but not the actual God come on man!!

[altmegido]

He actually is God. Just kidding, I´m an atheist, but man what a musician.

[musiccuts]

I don't subscribe to the "Clapton is God" but if you gave a guitar for God to play, he'd probably play like Clapton.

[skint0n0minted]

@musiccuts theres no such thing as god though, Claptons real and awesome though

[elstroshitnonstop]

@musiccuts no way. he would play like robbie robertson

[TheVoodooochile]

@musiccuts god is black he will play like hendrix not like this cxxxxx

[shaserv]

@musiccuts  Yea, then Hendrix would come in and just moly wop god.....Ha Ha..

[lelightful]

@musiccuts Really?! I never got any feeling from him. What did he do that made you want to call him a God. Did he innovate? Was he a good imitation? If he was Black would he be just another Blues artist?! I'm not trying to be a d%^&, i'm just trying to figure out why???

[washboardblues]

@musiccuts

What a lame comment.

[88mpny]

@altmegido NO.... GOD IS GOD... Clapton's just a man like the rest of us. a man who can play some great guitar that's all.

[mystinger72]

@altmegido

Probably one of the best quotes I have ever heard. Did you come up with it yourself? I told my friend this and he about fell down he thought it was so clever!!

[altmegido]

@mystinger72 why so bitter my dear?

[CobainLennon8094]

@altmegido No Jimi Hendrix was. Claptons right there for number 2 though.

[yojoeflow]

@CobainLennon8094 dwayne allman

[alan2098]

[alan2098]

man i love eric clapton but when jimi hendrix came man could u believe his expression

[redrover84]

That scene at the end with Eric and Buddy was from a concert made in march 1969 called 'Supershow'. It was filmed in a disused lino factory in Staines. It ended up being a two day jamming session that featured Eric Clapton, Steven Stills, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Buddy Miles, Buddy Guy, John Hiseman, Roland Kirk and a youthfull Led Zeppelin amongst others.

[musiccuts]

That's some get info there. I'm going to rent that. Thanks.

[lagman50]

I've got it on DVD, not much Clapton footage though,but still excellent.

[Magicquickfingers]

@redrover84
