When i woke up Christmas morning in 1980 i was 11 and saw the drums under the tree i was the happiest kid that day. I knew my parents didnt really have the money, my mom was a stay home mom and my dad was a cop, in those days they made crap money, but Santa had a credit card to help them out!

@@jedislap8726 It was actually when Clapton bust strings on stage, and the audience would get impatient waiting and would give him the slow hand clap. It was Giorgio Gomelsky, who had managed The Yardbirds, that Clapton credits with giving him the nickname. He had always said how fast Eric could play, so it was a bit of a joke, but it also sounded a bit cool, like the nicknames that old blues players would often have.

When i read his book he seemed to get bored easily and when a group puts out an album and its a great piece of work , his thing was how do I top that! He didn't want to put out another album if he didn't think he could top the first one. Only a perfectionist thinks like that but its a good thing. Too many groups put out that one great album and spend years trying to top it and never do.

Pattie Boyd was still married to former Beatle George Harrison when Harrison’s friend and fellow rock superstar Eric Clapton met and fell in love with her. After Clapton finally won her over and made her his own wife, he wrote the dreamy smooth ballad “Wonderful Tonight” for her. They say the song was inspired by Clapton watching Boyd one evening getting ready to go out to an annual musical memorial for Buddy Holly. “Wonderful Tonight” can be seen as a sequel of sorts to “Layla”, which Clapton wrote for Boyd when she was still married to Harrison.

Oh you have to hear his song No More Tears in Heaven . It’s his song about his son Connor passing away tragically. My ex wanted it played at our sons funeral. I couldn’t do it , that’s was his song for his son . My son loved Eric Clapton . I just wanted songs that where connected to us as a family . Yes it was selfish I guess but his Bio logical sperm donor wasn’t in his life . My husband my sons dad was there from 14 months to the end 27 1/2 years later and still today in his memory . Edit-- oh my husband and I have our spot outside we used to have lots of backyard spur of moment parties . Our son would play his guitar and we would sing laugh . Now it’s just us. Our sons friends stop by and we talk about all their memories here at the house , and we thank god we have the memories . Keep that spot sacred for you two and as kids grow older more memories to be made . Stories to be told , great conversations to be held between y’all and the kids , and their friends .

This was my senior prom theme song and I love it so much. He’s been inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame three times, one with Cream, then Derek and the Dominoes and then as a solo artist. You could spend a year discovering his music. A common saying back then was “Clapton is God”.

' This song is one of my favorites. Thank You. May I suggest - "Tears in Heaven" About the death of his son. I have trouble listing to it as I have my own tragedy with the death of my 3 month old grandson. “Layla” Was written for George Harrison Wife. Clapton was in love with her then eventually married her. You can chose between studio or an acoustic version of Layla. I recommend both as they both have their merits. Other people have been suggesting other good songs which I can 2nd. You can look up the story behind each song.

One of the "greatest rock guitarists" (began in the UK in the 60s, unique sound)....grouped with Hendrix, SRV, Page, etc.. A student and a seeker of the Blues his entire career and still. Music ultimately a matter of personal preference, but he is one of the cornerstones of our Rock legacy.

This song was the third song written about Patti Boyd. The first was “Something” by The Beatle written by George Harrison who she was married to and is a phenomenal song. George and Eric were great friends and wrote songs together and Eric was the first artist to record on a Beatles track that was not in the band. He performed the lead guitar on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Eric fell madly in love with Patti and wrote one of his best songs ever while he was in Derek and the Dominoes “Layla” and she eventually divorced George and married Eric. Dispute this George and Eric remained close friends until George’s passing.

@DM-kc5du3 жыл бұрын
That was a seriously messed up time. Eric was openly in love with George's wife, depressed and binge drinking and drugging, while George was married to but being unfaithful to Patti and openly declared his love for fellow Beatle Ringo's wife---in front of Ringo and Patti. Somehow, in the end, George and Eric remained friends, and George and Ringo got past it to remain friends and even work together several times. All three remained good friends until George's death. George and Ringo both ended up divorced from their first wives and remarried, (presumably more successfully the 2nd time around since they stayed married) and Eric and Patti's marriage also ended in divorce after a few years.
