Yep. When Clapton sobered up he got pretty nasty sometimes, maybe he reason for drinking? Eddie really calmed down when he sobered up it seems, sadly he lost a lot of friends and a wife while stoned.

I think most people probably noticed, but the phrase on the second half referred to Clapton's "dismissive attitude", and I think it is pretty likely that the part that is missing is Clapton perhaps making a public comment panning the effort at covering his early efforts with Blues breakers. Maybe he got his feelings hurt that he wasn't asked to participate, or maybe it was just his negative opinion. At any rate, I recall reading a comment from Clapton that was pretty dismissive of Eddie's playing in general. I recall because I am a fan of VH and also of Cream, Derek And The Dominoes, and Blind Faith, but since VH came along, I don't make much time for the old Clapton stuff, and his newer "soft rock" efforts never interested me at all; the slow acoustic version of Layla is like a Ferrari with the engine removed. Eddie remained a creative force, his whole life. Clapton was done saying anything fresh when he hit his mid 30s, and started mining the lucrative soft rock/pop market.

@scottfriery9091Ай бұрын
Clapton had no business being dismissive of anyone, especially Eddie Van Halen. Even though Clapton is revered by many, I have never once thought of him as "one of the greats" and never will. Put it this way, much of his early work, though very good in its own right, was never anything I would call great or "WOW! Look at that!". He never influenced my own playing either. Sorry, you can complain about my comment all you like. It doesn't change the fact that I will never see Clapton as a great.
@GregorypeckoryАй бұрын
@@scottfriery9091 He also made an infamous bigoted rant at a show, drunkenly attacking the members of his audience that were Arabs; (calling them by a racial slur) telling them to leave England, although not before he already got their money for the show. I suspect that if we had had the internet back in the seventies his career would have been finished. Hardly anybody has even heard of the incident anymore. He went on a talk show a while after it and was given a chance to apologize, and he instead doubled down on the bigotry. Now his friends with Greg Abbott, the charming bigoted governor of Texas that likes to put razor wire in the water to slice up desperate families trying to cross the river to escape from violent gangs the US has created throughout Latin America with our drug war. Robert Cray, the great blues artist, responded to a picture of his buddy Eric, grinning alongside Abbott, by announcing that he's done with the friendship. Good on him; Clapton is a creep.

When one person in an alcohol-based friendship gets sober, the friendship often ends. The sober friend no longer feels comfortable around alcoholic behavior and (if in recovery) tries to make life changes. They sometimes try to convince the drinker to change, against their will. The drinking alcoholic can feel disrespected , judged, or abandoned, and, because they're still in their addiction, become mean. Add in celebrity ego and it's no surprise these friendships frequently break up.

Always cooler to take the high road in situations like this. You come offl looking better. Eddie Van Halen dissed Jimmy Page saying he plays like has a broken hand in concert. Page just compliments Eddie when asked about him. When you are really great and so many people look up to you and buy your music,, one of the best selling guitarists and songwriters who ever lived, like Page is, no need to throw around petty criticisms. Page always compliments guitarists and guitar playing, it is an instrument forever linked to him. So many kids, young teens back in the day 1970s and 1980s, looked up to Page, and they still do, a good man. No ego, nice guy to his fans. Upsetting seeing stories like this petty insulting behavior of Clapton and Eddie Van Halen.

Page inspired me by a magnitude more so in writing, arranging production and just being an all around player.To his credit,I appreciate Clapton"s stance on the clot shots and I believe he is rather proud of being an Englishman.I also absolutely love Jeff Beck for the record.Cheers from another Born Again

@@bradsmith7311 I think some of them are literally a bit jealous of Page. Sad to say. But it seeems likely. Page's music with Led Zeppelin and his popularity with fans. His music outsold all those guys, other top guitarists back in the 1970s and 1980s like Clapton, Beck, Van Halen, Richie Blackmoore, etc.,by a lot. The names you heard back then of the top lead guitaists in the 1970s to mid1980s like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Townshend, Blackmoore, Van Halen, etc., - Page had more fans and his music outsold those guys by a mile. Led Zep still outsells them all, practically, all those rock and roll bands, except maybe The Beatles, way back then 1960s to 1980's.

Eddie made a comment that upset Eric Clapton. It was made because Eddie was disillusioned about Eric. That's Eddie's work. Eric was upset about being called a name and so that's Eric's issue. Beyond that, I don't know what the nature of their differences were. I don't know what Eddie was disillusioned about, but to be disillusioned, one must first have an illusion. But if we surpass our heroes, it is more mature to do so with some grace. If you surpass your king or believe you have, then there is no need to kill him. Our illusions are our own. If our illusions are sparked by heroes, then simply thank them for having the shoulders you stand on. This is more than about who is a better player.

I believe Edward was disillusioned by Eric not appreciating what he had dedicated to him in return for what Ed felt he had learned from him. If you grew up learning from a mentor and they turned on you years later if you were sensitive that could literally break your heart…In fact it could CRUSH you…Eric could have been more diplomatic even if there was something in what he said about Bluesbreaker lacking the emotional nuance and build of how he played the blues..I don’t think Edward had ‘illusions’ about Eric, he just felt rejected by him with his forthrightness. I don’t think one player surpasses another in music because taste is not ‘quantifiable’ and not comparatively ‘measurable’….Also illusions are not exclusively our own because nobody functions in a social vacuum and the perceptions of others and social ideologies can shape our illusions.

I like Clapton’s playing, however, I enjoy Eddie’s much more. Just a thought, am I the only one who scoffs at the idea that Clapton was given the title guitar god? Try to follow me here, when the rock band era and album era started, it was mainly Harrison and Richards and guys from the kinks and The Who, non of them to me, seperated themselves from the group. Then Clapton who was in the yardbirds with Page and Beck , showed up on the scene with Cream and of course named guitar god and for a year or 2 , if that, he had little competition because Page was doing sessions and hadn’t yet formed Zeppelin and Beck hadn’t quite become Beck that we know. Along comes 1967 and it’s Hendrix and Clapton realized I’m not so unique and great after all. Then around 1 or 2 years later, we get Blackmore, Santana, Gilmour, Hackett, Howe, Allman and Beck as we know him and of course the force that was Page and Zeppelin. And that’s just to name a few. And in the middle of all this, Clapton was reported saying he gave up mindless jamming years ago.🤷🏼♂️ what was he saying? I can’t recall him doing anything that resembles mindless jamming, whatever that means. He goes from Rock to some hybrid of country blues, and doesn’t resemble any guitar god. I feel as if he tucked his tail and ran from the other players. Throughout the 70’s many new players appear and of course Eddie Van Halen who changed guitar playing more than Hendrix in my opinion. I just feel there are a couple dozen better players and a dozen more influential than Clapton, who I think is very good but a guitar god? For a year or 2 or maybe not so much🤔 are there any others who feel this way? Let me know, I’m curious 🎸

I am guessing that Clapton did not title himself as a guitar god. It probably came from fans and media hype. Everyone has their favorite musicians and musical genre. That’s normal.

If you could get on TV like the Ed Sullivan show, you could reach millions of people in one performance. Almost the whole country! I am rambling. I agree with you about Clapton.

Jan Akkerman (Focus) said it profoundly. "Every guitarist comes from a different place". I'm paraphrasing here but it is true. There is no definitive title of "greatest". There are gamechangers; Eric, Eddie or even Buddy Holly and George Harrison. In jazz, you have Al DiMeola and John McLaughlin or Chet Atkins, Tommy Emmanuel and that new kid Matteo Mancuso from Sicily (insane). They all come from different places. The gold standard for Eric and Eddie was the uncanny ability to compose songs around their amazing guitar arrangements.

@jayteesgear weird question? And a horrible guess, who would assume someone talking about Clapton and Ed is 20, show some comment sense. Nice hyperbole because if that were true about it being the stupidest thing you've read in your life, you've been extremely blessed to only have been exposed to intelligent and insightful commentary all of your life. What I said is accurate and aligns either reality

Eric Clapton is a teabag.

Sounds like someone was high or drunk when he made the comment.
