@therealnotpalc I don't think we could ever understand what people thought when they first heard Clapton... there have been more technically-proficient guitarists since Clapton's heyday, and the stuff he pioneered is now commonplace, so it's hard (if not impossible) to fully understand just how groundbreaking he was back in the day. Which is a little sad, I suppose.

@BobaBaggins I'm right there with ya. First time I saw him around 1983 he was just horrible. I couldn't believe this was the same guy from Cream, Blind Faith, the Yardbirds, Derek & the Dominoes, and John Mayall. A few years later, a friend of mine had tickets and had to beg me to go with him. I reluctantly went, and was truly blown away. He was dirty and bluesy, and kicked ass. I've seen him twice since then, and... eh. Eric seems to be one of those great players who rarely plays.

@BobaBaggins Damn you hit the nail on the head. I can scarcely bring myself to believe that the Eric Claptons of "Crossroads" and "Change the World" are in fact the same man. Sometimes I seriously wonder if all the cocaine might given him permanent brain damage; I really don't have any better hypothesis.

The tone, and licks, that a very young Eric Clapton played on this song, are what most guitarists are still trying to attain. This is what it's all about.

@ekipito Eric Clapton is one of the greatest but learned alot from BB. King

@BobaBaggins shut the fuck up

@BobaBaggins Hater.



I have a love/hate thing with Eric Clapton. A lot of the time, I'll be listening to the radio and I'll hear Wonderful Tonight, Cocaine, or, God forbid, Lay Down Sally, and I think "Wow, I could go through the rest of my life without ever having to hear this song again."
Then I pop in the Blues Breakers album, or a Cream album, and I think "Holy crap! Now I remember why he's so awesome.."
Whenever Clapton's with a group, especially in the 60s or early 70s, it's great. Solo, not so much.
