His diction and choice of words in casual conversation is flawless.... never misses a beat but never over does it.

Wow you'll never see Clapton playing a rosewood Fender. Wonder what made him switch.

For those still in that juvenile period of declaring only blacks can play blues... grow up, it doesn't make you some exclusive elite musicologist. If Bloomfield was in Wolf's band in the 50s, you think you flakes would ever figure out he was white based solely on the records? Anyone even know tha...

Pseudo musicologists and purists always compare white blues to black blues. To them, for basically the same reason evangelical Christians can't accept gay marriage or abortion, are too stubborn and arrogant to view music the way true music lovers do.... w/ an open mind. And as for the genius wh...

What amazing words from Buddy Guy about race and blues

Wow that was inspiring. He really brought it for this one.

Hubert's personality always makes me happy. His optimism is infectious, and he must be the sweetest soul in the entire music business.

@TheDonpedrossy Hey, even the hardcore bluesmen like Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy, Little Walter, and a ton of others are famous for wearing the finest tailored silk suits in their day. Having the blues is not always just a matter of how poor you are... there's a lot of other shit in life that'll...

I watched the entire series box set straight through, and I noticed a lot of times when Dominic West slips into a bit of English accent, but it's almost always when he's getting loud, excited, mad, etc. I don't hear a particular strong Baltimore accent with McNulty as some people say... I think ...

@phantom5691 I agree.... but hopefully you would agree that his From the Cradle blues tour (the one that Martin Scorcese documented) was his last period of true fire?

If you actually think your music is more "real" than any other genre of music, whether it be 60s rock or Justin Bieber, then you have a disappointingly dim view of what music actually is. Everyone likes to think they're in a special little club b/c they like certain music. But hey I guess if you...

Damnit I really wish that was subtitled instead of dubbed

@Ayan102 First just want to say I'm not being argumentative at all, but I disagree w/ your last statement. He wasn't diagnosed, but, probably b/c he never went to a psychiatrist. Whether he's an acid casualty is impossible to tell, b/c he may have had an existing latent illness. But if you've see...

@CallMeMister99 Not being at all argumentative here, but willing to put my money and agree with rmGuera on this... this is definitely mid to late 80s EC, his 70s Tulsa band sounded nothing like this, neither did his voice.,, the song itself is also phrased/arranged differently here... compare som...

@notmemate Perhaps it wasnt a tragedy.... perhaps it was a necessity. Their internal animosity may have been a major contributor as to why their music was so savage and aggressive and amazing.

@thegreatbasher If you don't like the album/song, I can respect that, that's your opinion. But do you actually believe that Clapton consciously wanted to sound worse, and lied to himself and everyone else by saying he wanted to make this album?? Are you at all familiar with Clapton's solo caree...

@jclev99 He is in fact overrated, but that doesnt mean hes not good or even great

This is definitely the first time I've ever heard Nolan crack a joke, let alone multiple ones. He's a far funnier person than he puts on.

@DeadlyShadows1134 It's also obvious that you spent a lot of time looking at other guys' dicks in the locker room.

Wow I hope you end up doing something fulfilling and useful with your life... because you are absolutely worthless for posting that. And stop talking like a retard, no need to perpetuate something we already know.

@jacksaynor I will take that emoticon as sarcasm... but Skuce is actually right, water is in fact faintly blue. But you'll need a lot more than a glass of it to see. The more compact it gets (i.e. very dense ice cyrstals), the bluer it will get.

He's still a great guitar player but this is an unbelievable performance. I agree this man should definitely be playing Gibsons, but I can understand why he switched. But it's not just the guitar, it's also the volume.... he doesn't drive his amp up and play loud these days. Now he uses combo ...

Just because he's got a smile and nice clothes and works for the media doesn't make him fake... everyone, no matter how they look, deserves a chance before you judge them. Yes, your first impression may be that he's fake, and that's OK. But if you actually did some research to know what you're ...

"I think good policy is good politics." Good man.

Did he fail at reaching the 8% cap on unemployment? Yes.... But at the same time, did he prevent a true Great Depression? Yes. So, ask yourself, you stupid blonde cunt, do you have a bigger problem with unemployment exceeding the cap by a few percent, or an all-out depression?

There are people that say Americans have no culture... or we're too young of a country to have a true history and legacy in the arts. Well.... watch this, and tell me America has no culture. This is the type of shit that makes time stand still when you're completely engaged in this man's perfor...

Where have you been all my life??!!

Wow. Sounds great. I hope she's playing with as much conviction and feeling as it sounds. If this is based off robotic repetition and memory, then I don't care for it. But if this is from the heart, this is like some amazing shit for a person her age.

If you were to just see this scene alone, not knowing it was a Batman movie, this would still stand as an amazing emotional scene with great acting. This is what Nolan brings to the table. Good fucking movies. Period.

I agree Batman was more stylized, dramatic, and "fantasy-like." Begins kept w/ canon w/ Joe Chill, and I think this scene is better. The earnest direction gives a chill of reality. This no-frills version and stark silence sends home the utter shock one would experience watching your parents get...

Amazing scene, very well acted. So glad Nolan honored the source material and had the Falcone mob play a big part in this film. In the comic he was more refined and a high-class mafioso... here, he seems more street-wise, but it fits the film perfectly, and Tom Wilkinson is great at making this...

Sorry, I respect Jerry Garcia in so many ways, but if you think this version is superior to Clapton's version on Slowhand, you are musically insane and obsessed with Garcia beyond reason. Clapton's version was true to the song and true to the genre of laid-back country music. This is just a shado...

@PitchBlackGuitarMan

Personally I disagree. His career is heavily associated with his unique guitars, starting with his old Harmony that he basically modified into an acoustic/electric. He developed a habit of choosing lesser-known brands, and modifying the hell out of them.... that's partly ...

I think I might be the only one here that prefers the Fillmore version of this song which strikes me as more confident and is flawless in terms of execution and precision.... maybe because I heard it first. Although this version blows me away too.
