"Think back to when you were at the height of your Cream era...and instead of splitting the band up, imagine you went on to make your definitive Cream album...What would that have sounded like? THAT'S the album we're going to make"
I'm not really a fan, but I've always admired the way he's handed his career (not the drink and drugs and racist rants period...).
He's aged gracefully, doesn't stumble around in leather trousers with a wig, silly jewellery and a load of smeary tattoos. A bit boring? Maybe, but he's nearly 70, good luck to him if he wants to retire. Some of the other creaky old sods still treading the boards should follow his example.
That said, I was quite amazed to see footage of him playing with Hawkwind the other day. I had no idea he'd even know they existed.
Fuck, I should've known that. 1945, of course. Didn't even notice I was commenting on a five-year old thread. Although fair play to me, I did start by actually reading the opening post.
He didn't really retire then, did he.....?
Clapton sells out .. why is he leafleting for a French bank .. I thought he wanted Brexit ... BNP Paribas must be paying him a fortune .. not impressed.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

I’m not a Clapton worshiper or out, but what he’s done stands up for itself.
Instantly recognisable singer.
100 million+ album sales.
Influenced thousands of guitar players.
Has championed blues for over half a century. Has championed blues artists who sing his praises.
Practically single handedly brought acoustic guitar playing back into mainstream music in the 90s.
Played Amnesty, ARMS, Live Aid, Concert for Bangladesh, Tsunami Aid, War Child benefit, Concert for Sandy relief, Nelson Mandela's birthday concert. Countless hundreds of other charity gigs including his own Crossroads festivals and the Princes Trust stuff.
Sold off his squillion quid's worth of classic guitars to fund a charity.
Still gets called a wanker and a racist and that he hasn't done anything since 1969. It's pathetic.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
