Eric Clapton - CLAPTON on CLAPTON Interview

[bgw316]

I was hoping that Clapton On Clapton was some kind of codename for a cloning experiment. :)

Seriously though,it would be cool if we clone these artists instead of sheep so the generations in the future can at least get a lifelike feel of this music.

[hongdekong]

how does a cigarette burn happen? who holds his cigaratte there?

[bgw316]

@hongdekong look at the Clapton song "No Alibis"

[MsPaleMoon]

Clapton is STILL god.

[masterofscotland]

Shit what is that first song being played?

[alinn71]

i think there are certain ways that an artist values the unimportant travels to past..music is the best exposure and expose..if you ask me lyrics come later, thats why he is remembered more of an instrumental performer or a musician instead of a star...

[b4she]

I've been inspired by Eric since I was a boy, what a great blessing to the music world!!

[MrPzkpfw6]

эрик ты лучший, круче тебя уже никого не будет!

[StarBlues101]

Eric Clapton is a Rock - Blues standard! I find him to be very inspirational to my Blues endeavor.

[dennisdullea]

When I was 17 I sold my Blood for $5.00 so I could buy an LP record I found in the Import bin of the old Leonard Bros. dept. store in Ft. Worth, Texas. The record was the "Beano" album: "John Mayall with Eric Clapton". I was taking a big chance with my $5 and was praying that it had the Blues Guitar sound I was looking for on it. When I got back home & put it on my record player...It changed my life forever. When I heard the fire from Eric's Les Paul, chills ran down my spine. They still do.

[TheDshoc1]

@dennisdullea you could put eric with bach, mozart...anyone and he could play play play!

[journey46]

clapton. one of us.

even with the luxury of money.

unwanted child turned guitar god turned 53 story repeat father.

long hard haul for a innocent, always looking to be perfect enough to be good enough.

turned into a man in an instant.

and working double time ever since to pay for it and make sense of it.

kudos eric.

[MorganHillChristine]

I agree with you, Eric, I heard all those songs when I was a kid -- and you DO just know them!!!!! It's in our blood. God bless you.

[CullenFan1313]

WOW......i bought tickets for your concert for my parents but then i realized that i was too obsessed and i took them for myself...people may think its weird that a 14 year old girl has Layla as her ringtone...but thats normal...for clapton fans...ROCK ON DUDE...!!

[MissAngelynn13]

@CullenFan1313 Oh yeah I go to school with the Eric clapton shirt i bought from his recent tour and people are like "who is he?" and I'm like "Greatest guitarist ever"

[CullenFan1313]

@MissAngelynn13 thats pretty awesome....i took guitar this year and at the end of the year my teacher gave us a quiz game thingy and we had to listen to songs and write who they were by and i was the only one who got more than onw right.....actually i got all of them....they were like Clapton, Dire Straits, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Who......

[Scorpionas360]

he makes me wanna buy fender strat :)

[rockymtrocker]

The greatest of all time-what can I say except please accept my friend and sub request and check out my sad video response if you need a laugh! LOL

[bamboosa]

Note the cigarette burn on the head of his Strat.

[twozey2]

will he ever do a guitar instruction piece?

[BigWillieWillHom]

Eric Clapton Is The Best & Greatest Guitarist & Performer Ever!! He Is A Living Legend And A True Icon!!!

- Big Will :)

[eloisarosas1]

Es una lastima que ya no sea directa,la forma de compartir la musica de Eric Clapton. Ni modo es su propiedad, se respeta. Gracias!

[TheTNTLIVE]

Best live guitar player listen TNT Live - BANE GT BAND - cocaine

[coolmodine]

I love the shot of his old axe, cigarette burns and all.

[posotos]

My God!!

[dihsruhk]

one of the greatest without a doubt!

[amysinai]

EVERYTHING I've ENDURED, with the WISDOM of a Pearl.....

We can make DIAMONDS from the Rain~turn pain into''JOY''~

We LOVE you ERIC! NOW we shall Raise like the SUN....as ONE..:)

Blessing's,Peace~LOVE~Light~:) HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011...:)

[oliverandm]

everytime i see Eric i always feel sorry for him, he is one of the greatest guitarist ever! He has revolutionized music, he has given so much... but i can't ever think about his kid... makes me so sad :S

[tom89074]

Its Great that Mr. Clapton can now do Music he has heard in the past and reMaster it to his own. ! Great Stuff!!!, Be Thankful you have Hair you can grow out!, lol.

[AndreyAmmosov]

He's realy great. Autumn leaves is а chef-d'oeuvre. Wonderful album.

[guitar62751]

Eric is a fantastic blues guitar player !

[sheltieshaun]

GET A HAIRCUT, LOSE THE NHS GLASSES, GET A GRIP AND PLAY SOMETHING WITH A BIT MORE ATTITUDE YOU SILLY OLD FOOL!

[LakicGuitar]

@sheltieshaun shut the fuck up and listen to the one and only God of guitar Eric Clapton!

[sheltieshaun]

@LakicGuitar He is not called God for playing shite like this ya plum, I do listen to Clapton but THIS is not how he got that nickname. I'm away to listen to Buddy Guy I dont think he'll be playing any crap like this!

[LakicGuitar]

@sheltieshaun You seriously need to get your ears checked...and your brain too...these songs are the ones which inspired Clapton in the first place...These songs are very good, the only thing is they are DIFFERENT from the ones he played before...that's why you don't like 'em...

[sheltieshaun]

@LakicGuitar Firstly i've had my ears checked and I have tinitus, and the constant ringing in my ears is better than listening to most of this. These songs did NOT inspire Clapton for gods sake, it was Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Otis Rush and Buddy Guy, if these songs influenced him I think his time in The Yardbirds would have sounded a bit different and I don't think the Godfather of the british blues scene John Mayall would have been eager to get him on board.

[LakicGuitar]

@sheltieshaun sorry about the tinitus dude. And sorry about my attitude back then. I'm a huge fan of Clapton and I kinda get offended when somebody says something he did sucks. Anyways you're a Clapton fan,but you don't like the latest album,and I'm a Clapton fan and I like it...It's all about the music taste...

[acoffey4334]

Best record I have heard in at least 20 years.

[98lakai]

he sounds like Paul McCartney

[Adamtage]

is that a jaguar i can spot in the lower right corner? 0:03?

I didnt know he played on that?

[oldguy537]

he's right about music , I find I'm constantly going back , finding more and more old stuff, it's a great journey ..

I wish him nothing but the best ..

[mableh1]

A man of many faces........He can play guitar and sing just about any song and it will still have the Clapton touch......He is the most talented man I know, and adore!!!!!! I just Love Him!

[Adamtage]

the very first song on the vinyl, what is that called?

[fretman40]

@Adamtage Traveling Alone

[mozoman]

thank god he has pissed Simon Climie off and got a real producer

[TheBBBuchholz]

Couldnt agree more: hes a music god and he should live forever.

[BigRussOvBs9]

very well said EC at first i thought wheres Erics solos but then i realised its more vocal one thing eric hasnt done is show off his vocal side in Clapton hes done just that see you in cardiff 2011 big man

[BeatnikManfred]

Love your new album Eric....you looks great....

[eaglenewsdvd]

Eric Clapton ROCKS !!

[Indagardenofeden1]

This is an " Easy Listening" album . Nice change.

[rockforheaven]

i would like to say him "thank you Sr."

hard times had gone. Mr Clapton.

[macaframa12]

CUT THAT FUCKIN HAIR ERIC!

[Tron544]

YOU ROCK ERIC! But short hair suits you best =D

[aaronjordan010388]

maybe the one who dislikes this is listening to JUSTIN "DOUCHE FAG" BIEBER

[amysinai]

@xMrCustom24x I THINK Clapton is HOT~ ''A BEAUTIFUL MAN''~ LIKE A FINE WINE~ONLY BETTER WITH AGE~We are so all blessed to be here Now~Blessing's,Peace,LOVE,Ligh­t~

[amysinai]

Well, I must say....''THE UNIVERSE HAS BLESSED US ALL'' with your suprise~ it is a suprise~A very Pleasant one at that~THANKYOU~''WE LOVE YOU''~ :) KEEP ON ROCKIN~

[BeMyBelarus]

Clap!! <3

[theclaptonexperience]

what songs on the album did clapton write?

[tambourini]

Thanks for sharing this!

[arnaldolocoselli]

Eric is not like Van Halen technically... He just knows how to play the song.

[Reconvic1949]

God Blessed him and he worked hard to become a great guitarist

[Flozzy1000]

He's in a good place in his life, no more abuse of drugs and alcohol. He has a new American wife and kids. His music just gets better and better as he gets older. Like a fine wine, he gets better with age.

[amysinai]

@Flozzy1000 AMEN!

[TheBBBuchholz]

@Flozzy1000 Allelujah!

[LakicGuitar]

@Flozzy1000 Eric Has kids? I didn't know that...What are they called?

[MasoneriaTucuman]

¡Es la guitarra de Dios, te alabamos Señor!

[antsrun]

Got the CD today - well well, totally surprised about the new CD - musical taste is different - I love it, totally relaxed - amazing stuff - was at once reminded to Ry Cooder's JAZZ. Both are great artists!

Thanks for all your music guys!

[TVpiotrek]

His new album it's awesome!!! ;)

[TVpiotrek]

;))

[TheHawksTalon]

Clapton is my idol i love his playin thats why i picked up a guitar but its time for him to put another rock album out and show these little kids who the boss is

[syrimis81]

hes a hell of a blues man...

[cubbaer1]

his music is great it helped me learn to play gutar and injoy the blues now that

im in a wheelchair its noT so bad i just listen to his music and play along so.

THANK A LOT FOR THE YEARS OF MUSIC.

[willwelsh816]

aw, i love when he uses older stuff, its so much different. I miss his straight stratocaster sound ;)

[holycow12340]

ordered this online

i think mine comes september 28th

[nodarfcb]

He must live Forever, I play guitar and listen to music just because of him, his passion and love, feelings, sadness, he's the best man in the world

[petemroz]

very cool stuff! Keep it going E.C.! wwwpetemrozcom

[DrCharlie1]

i just can`t believe how old he looks here, it`s been such a shock to me seeing him like this

[kassemir]

Can't wait to pick up a copy, and Clapton, you just keep goin' backwards, do what ever you want as long as you keep doin' albums and live shows.

Love that he goes backwards and expands the common music knowledge among people, I mean how many guitarists and listeners learned discovered Robert Johnson from Clapton, I know I did.

The fact that he goes backwards makes me more excited, cuz he'll blow and expand my mind, just know it, CAN'T WAIT!!!

[TrueBlueSue49]

Clapton always come back reinventing himself. He's constantly changing, learning and sharing with all of us.

Thank you

Susan

[karenofbethany]

His voice sounds sooooo much more relaxed, like he is FINALLY HIMSELF, God Bless him.  He has done everything and now he has found his singing voice, IMO.

[bluesfanlenny]

I love the last seconds of this clip - to see EC pick up his guitar and walk - very Eric Clapton, and a good trademark. I am a forever fan of Eric Clapton. I'm anticipating this cd - can't wait for the end of the month. I wish I could get the limited edition cd, but I'll be happy with the cd :)

[rock5ta12]

Eric, as BB said...may you live forever and a day!!!

[wildflower48230]

Can't wait to hear anything that he plays. Saw him in Cleveland two years ago and bought my ticket 15 minutes before the start of the show. I sat in the first row, center seat and Eric Clapton was 10 ft away ...the most fabulous musical experience of my lifetime. It seemed surreal then as it still does today..

[112341513534134]

Which guitar is that on 1.05? Thats blackie, isnt it?

[drockadam6]

@112341513534134 Yeah, that's Blackie!

[lulimma]

so good Eric

[VlastaStevanovich]

Some people should live forever. Eric is definitely one of those people :)

[SixStringSummer13]

@VlastaStevanovich I doubt very much Eric would agree.

[Ronynerozzi]

@VlastaStevanovich you told truth

[TheShankPimp]

i have to see Clapton live before something tragic were to ever happen to him which i doubt because hes god.He used to take sleeping medication then stay awake by snorting cocaine. He can live through anything

[highonbeingnormal]

Great Eric, looking forward to it.

[johndenner]

Loving the new interview

[missionrd100]

Keep going Eric. It doesn't matter what you do because you have certainly earned the right to play what you want. You've given us so much already and I am grateful for that. It was you who first really moved me with your guitar ( Bluesbreakers) and later with your singing (Dominoes).

[ThePreacherboy2010]

Boy, what age can do to someone..Still great at your age

[DigoeDeza]

And I feel so sad to think that maybe I'll die before meet him...

He's realy my guitar God! 

[simonvillette]

Still love you Eric, despite the shit haircut

[c3ajeff]

Nice to see EC is working on some of the same music I grew up with too - it seems like so many artists make these kinds of 'classics' albums but they end up being so much 'filler' in their reprotoir - where EC is concerned, I am more than confident that will not be the case... like he says, the recording came out to be more than expected (doesn't it always with him?) I look forward to more from EC.

[fpereira77]

This new hairstyle of him makes him look older... He is 65 years old, it's not that much... I'd say we still have at least more 10 - 15 years of Eric Clapton with us...

[SoundMusicVideo]

Simply the worlds greatest Guitar Hero !!!!

Loving this new music video

ericclapton is the man

[zipadeedoodle]

I fear many young musicians won’t realise what we have with Eric until it’s too late.

He’s the one person I’d love to sit down with and just chat about music and play a few tunes with…. So much to learn from such a great player.

Can’t wait until the 28th…. Another great album to add to the collection.



[satisacro]

Clapton is God.

[Alex280592]

@satisacro no he is a gutiar hero but not god

[v2vroth]

@satisacro AMEN!

[amsalwajih]

@satisacro And i share my birthday with him :D Even though im not even a quarter special as him

[mistercao]

@satisacro Calpton is good. ;-)

[brammobo]

@mistercao a guitar god

[nikgottheblues]

@satisacro He hates when ppl say this.

[musicsmydestiny]

@satisacro Amen

[v6n4m0d4]

Please check out Clapton playing guitar at Hendrix Concert in 1967 concert. You Tube.

[simonvillette]

@v6n4m0d4 Give us the exact title or the link please

[v6n4m0d4]

ERIC IS A GUITAR GENIUS. HE IS LOOKING A LOT OLDER NOW MORE THEN BEFORE......SURPRISED TO SEE A JIM DUNLOP FUZZ FACE (BLUE MODEL)...I WISH HE WOULD TEAM UP WITH ROBIN TROWER BEFORE THEY BOTH DIE. It WOULD BE ONE AMAZING COMBINATION OF TALENT. SOME OLD SONGS AND SOME NEW ONES. TGW. GREAT TALENT....ROD STEWART ON VOCALS TOO MAYBE.

[sirgerry]

In a time of gaga's and bieber's sequenced music, it's actually refreshing to hear some classic songs, keep it up EC

[Hope6sic6]

can't wait!

[bigpapykane]

Great video man! Always happy to see Clapton come up with new material!

[JensMichaelsen]

Great great.. He can sing all types of songs.. looking forward to this one...

[Openwheel9]

Having heard 30 second snips of every song on this album and having seen him play 2 of these songs live this summer, I can it wil be a huge hit with his fans. There is a vareity with this album like no other he has done. I have my collecters edition on pre-order. Thanks Eric, and I am awaiting a tour announcement to promote this album.

[AdidasMix]

wow, this is going to be the best album EVER!

[Maidenman0815]

His own version of the jazz standard "autumn leaves" is just wonderful

[MrJonnybaby123]

@Maidenman0815 Totally agree, when I heard it, it sent shivers down my spine! I only just got into clapton about a year ago and I have been missing out - BIG TIME!

[Claptomaan]

Oh my God.. So excited! :D Thank you, Eric!

[Heinz1202]

I´m waiting for this new Album - Clapton is still God on Guitar - but he need a Haircut

[bmd900]

Legend!!

[fariethesun]

Wonderful...really love your music and looking forward to your new album Eric...All the best from Germany, Heidi

[fatas412]

Claptons one of the few artists in my opinion whos voice has gotten better with age but that aside i cant wait to buy this album

[Stucnda60s]

aren't we all?????????????

[kncklehed]

Keep going Eric, and enjoy the ride...

[pwg0070]

I never like Eric when I was in the 70s, but for the last 15 years I have come to appreciate this man who is a musical treasure. I love his style, his voice, and his choices in songs. I love his version of Before you Accuse me on the Journeyman CD and Unplugged CD. I love his classics like Wonderful Tonight, Layla, and the bluesy stuff like Tore down. I am 52 an intermediate guitarist, and I would have to say he is the best guitarist in the world, with Buddy Guy not far behind and BB King.

[RyanMartinMulcahey]

its sad how old he is getting

[pwg0070]

@RyanMartinMulcahey It's the stages or the circle of life. It is time for the new guys to step up. We may not have him around much longer or he could last like BB King who is 82 and still playing, just a little slower. Enjoy them while you can. Look at Elvis, gone at 42 or was it 40.

[irchris420]

@pwg0070 i think 52

[pwg0070]

@irchris420 Google it he is 82.

[Garret00074]

@RyanMartinMulcahey

we all get old....

[MrJonnybaby123]

@RyanMartinMulcahey I think a haircut will make him look more youthful, but he can do what he wants - he is GOD!

[2BLUMUSICDOTCOM]

Yes! I'm ready for a new one from the man himself. There's nothing like knowing what you're all about and just letting it happen naturally - this record is going to be magical.

[Stormebluz]

I have loved Eric Clapton since the first moment I heard him--wayyyy back when. Hopefully I will get to see him in concert some day! So anxious to get the new cd, light the sandalwood, just sit back and listen. Thanks EC for all the beautiful music you have made.

[jpvnk1968]

Man, I can't wait for this one. It's so great that you're are able to go back and make albums that you want to make. Sounds great. I can't wait to put in the cd and pull out the guitar and learn the licks.

Jim VanNewKirk

[fentdawgholland]

I`ve listened to Eric Clapton from back when I was young and in my books he`s still the man.

[SHUNGABALI]

I´ll be at the local music store to get one copy for myself.

Old Eric....getting older but gooood

[madziana333]

I love this man. I can't wait to hear his new album. It MUST be great because HE IS great. And I;m really glad he keeps on playing and creating sometnig new. I think it will be his big return to the roots, where everytnig has started...

[pitsxroad]

awesome... I hardly can wait for the record... :-)

[angedechue90]

Clapton is back ....Blues is back ....God bless:.......My home, My wyfe, and my Guitar: Robert Johnson..



[holycow12340]

CLAPTON IS GOD

CANT WAIT FOR NEW ALBUM

[annamusicable]

what the song at 1:26 ? 

[thenetslug]

@annamusicable I believe it's Lane Hardin's "Hard Time Blues", a St. Louis Blues legend. Hope this helps!

[snakkajak]

cannot wait!!!!!

[dinmakerjr]

i am looking forward to it

[bjorkkody]

cant wait! Thank your Mr. Clapton!

[alphadogstudio]

Eric needs a nose hair clipper!

[Emoidiot187]

thats psycho that hes doin somethin like this .. cant wait to hear it

[guitarshredder109]

@Emoidiot187 No ur psyco

[happyface4444]

do i believe i'll dust my broom. Thats my favorite robert johnson song and you won't do it.

[mercuryblues78]

Awesome been waiting for something new I will be there on Sept 28, 2010 to buy this one. You are truly a Rock God and a Rock Legend.

[Panostechdeck]

clapton is a god

[manuu63]

@Panostechdeck clapton IS GOD

[redtrain79]

I don't "appreciate" clapton. the feeling I have for him is Faith

[majvdl]

Thank you Mr Clapton for making music from the heart. You could have used your fame and fortune to produce another dime a dozen risk free commercial album but thank God you did not. Hopefully this album will do what your early Blues albums did: reintroducing people to real artists like Louis Armstrong and real music like New Orleans Jazz.

[nir1971]

ah I truly can comprehend what he means by enjoying the art that has been discovered..surely as my daughter thinks; your own interpretation makes it your own, with a different angle.. well an artist can change the world to his own direction. I saw Clapton and Winwood live a year ago, and that was one of the best thing I have ever done for myself...well the other one was getting my book published!

[harrypatkiss]

Can't wait!!!!

[CoCoAzUl12]

realy cool
