@Somethingwaycooler Yeah i dont agree... it has some master pieces but half of the musics dont make justice and they could put at least 2 songs of the god of guitar Clapton and instead of this they put 2 of the most inexpressive songs of Nirvana and they have way better songs but at least i like half of the list in Guitar hero i only like a few i cant say its a bad list but not really cool...
This song is actually just a reworking of the music of the Cream song "Crossroads". Hell, you can sing the lyrics to Crossroads right along to this song and never miss a beat. Real inventive, Eric!!!!
@fstforward48 its a twelve bar blues. Not just crossroads is like this. You can find thousands of songs.. But it has it's own life.. No if it reminds of anything it reminds me of the song Eyesight to the Blind.. don't think it was intentional on Erics behalf but listen to the riff on those two songs and you will find them similar
To all of you that think blues is only 3 or 4 chords and it's oh so simple, lets see videos of you playing the blues...... Oh wait, maybe you are not that talented lmfao! Eric Clapton is an ICON when it comes to BLUES and JAZZ listen to some of his other stuff and see if you can play it as well as he does, then come and post your comments!
@twalkman23 blues IS only 3 chords but sometimes simplicity is the best, and we all know eric can play blues incredibly well so why wouldnt he keep playing
It is sooooo close to Crossroads, I don't understand why you can't hear it fstforward. I could play Crossroads on the guitar right now along with this song. Granted, It IS Blues, but no excuse. The King has lost his creativity just like McCartney, and Stones. But no matter...they were great, and its still better than most coming out right now. Blues=3 chords.
@twalkman23 Hey dumbass, if you look at my comment, I said it IS crossroads, just with different lyrics, but without the Cream vibe to it, Bass lines are identical
it doesn't have the Cream vibe, the song IS Crossroads just slightly reworked. Hell, the bass line is virtually note for note. Cheap rip off of a great Cream song, imnsho
@maggi711993 it sounds like Clapton to me at 1:55, i start to hear Derek Trucks come in with his slide around 4:24 to solo back and forth with Clapton
@ncw234 170 people are blind. In judging the merits of a video, one must take into account the visuals, which in this case are woefully lacking insofar as they consist of a single picture that does nothing for 5:14.
"Run Back to Your Side!" EC is making his Strat 'cry and sing.' Wonderful production! THEN I saw EC and Sonny Landreth on YouTube...gotta love those two guys.
@Larrymolek1 So if someone's career spanned 40 plus years, that person's taste is incontestable? Logic right? How about have your own point of view, little sheep? And the lesson you gracefully giving me has nothing to do with music itself, robot.
Fuck you have it right man! I'm 20. got a sunburst fender 50s strat, 1959 fender champ, 59' bassman reissue, and a martin 000-16. It is all I really need to be genuinely happy. and I feel great to know there are others like you who feel the same.
@jsox94 What ever happened to music fans i think the question is man. if this was some new pop star lamer be about 8 millions veiws by now. Least 1,584 people got to listen to the man himself play some kickass music.
