Yasin's BILLS Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Since I'm from rochester i would hope to see eric clapton to come out here and perform that would be something. Id crap my pants if I ever saw clapton here in Rochester, But if he goes to the HSBC this year I will see him there also, I saw him 6 years ago at the HSBC Arena That was a great show, even though I don't get why he played some where over the rainbow as his encore I wish I had know what the deal was with that. But I want to see him again, I know his drummer steve gadds is from pittsford, ny.
Yasin's BILLS Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 well im not quite sure if he's really from pittsford but i've heard story's that clapton got his hair cut from 12 corners and he's eatin at coldtower

Simon record. Eric Clapton on the other hand, I hope he comes to either my house or my favorite hangout so I can punch him in the face. He can take his slick white "blues" and shove it.

RuntheDamnBall Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Big Clapton fan, huh? you might say that. I have little issue with the Cream records. I take a lot of issue with this idea that he's some sort of statesman of the blues and that he is some sort of descendent of Robert Johnson. And the fact that his lionizing of RJ has basically suppressed the contributions of other great bluesmen to canonize just one. He's a wussy-ass cash cow and any play for blues authenticity on his part is a monumental joke.

The Poojer Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 wasn't he pretty much blatantly obvious wasted during the Simon & Garfunkel in Central Park concert years ago? I seem to recall Joe Piscopo doing a spoof of him, perhaps on SNL Gadd is a hell of a drummer. One of his most famous performances is on the title track of Steely Dan's, Aja.

He's a wussy-ass cash cow and any play for blues authenticity on his part is a monumental joke. For what it is worth, I saw a program a few months back about the blues. Several African-American bluesmen (e.g., B.B. and Buddy Guy) praised Clapton (and some of the other English musicians from the British invasion) for making the blues popular again and re-introducing it. Also for what it is worth, I saw Clapton and his band back in October down here in Miami. They were great. Butch Trucks' nephew (Derek Trucks) was in the band. He mostly played the slide and was fantastic. He also has his own band. I understand he plays in Buffalo now and again. If you get a chance to see Clapton or Derek Trucks, I thoroughly recommend both.

Yasin's BILLS Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 I mean From the Craddle not craddle from the crib, I do that alot with music names but alot of people do that

Yasin's BILLS Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 clapton didn't just cover robert johnson, he covered willie dixon, t-bone walker, muddy waters and etc. but the best clapton cover of robert johnson is Malted Milk on unplugged oh yeah i got that album to. but clapton wasn't the only person that covered all those bluesman, the allman brothers band, grateful dead, led zeppelin, jimi hendrix, and most of them went to the crossroads, and there is a story ive heard that jimmy page is a devil worshiper and he lives in tresnalvania. here is another person that probably syd barrett went to the cross roads, he came up with the name pink floyd because those were his favorite blues guitarist names pink anderson and floyd smith, so thats how he came up with the name pink floyd

Chef Jim Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Derek Trucks Sorry, my mistake. I just always assumed he was his son.
Yasin's BILLS Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 Derek is actually Butch's son and according to the review of Clapton's show at Staples Trucks stole the show.No really? Ive known that for years thats why derek trucks is the guitarist of the allman brothers and butch is the drummer
