Eric Clapton

[sonofhendrix13]

He's one of my favorite guitarists and musicians of all time. What do u think of him?

 

[NAD]

I think he's extremely overrated, but he certainly doesn't suck or anything.

 

[Anthony]

Great guy! I freakenly love his "Get lost". When I heard this song first, it seemed to me that, he sings "cause i get lost inside your tits". Shit, i was knocked down!!!

I don't listen to much of his stuff anymore, but that Crossroads by Cream on Wheels of Fire is what first inspired me to pick up the guitar. Cream was a great band.

 

[Morbid_Corpse]

Old Love is his best song.

 

[tedvanfrehley]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Clapton! Yes! He is one of the greats as far as not overplaying. "The Slowhand" only plays what needs to be said. I love old and new....have you checked out the new CROSSROADS dvd yet? I want that thing BAD. Tons of great pickers on there jamming with him to benefit his drug rehab center.

i think he's pretty good at acoustic, pretty good at singing, and very good at both at the same time. he's got some memorable songs... not my fav guitarist but up there.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

One of my all-time favorite guitarists! I love amost everything he's done (Reptile being a notable exception). My Father's Eyes is his best song.

 

[The Devil's Steed]

He's an excellent guitarist(particularly with Cream) and one of my favorite classic rock guitarists. He IS over-rated, though.

 

[Profanity]

Eric Clapton is one of the best guitarists of all time. He is extremely talented and extremely innovative.

To call him overrated seems unfair to me. He is not, nor will he ever be, the most technically impressive guitarist in the world. He is a blues legend. Blues fans may recognise his chops while metal fans may not. Blues fans also, however, know some great guitarists who will never get the attention they deserve.

Clapton is true living legend. My mom even name me after him.

He IS overrated. Many people claim him to be the greatest guitarist ever, when he's not. This means he's overrated.
