Eric Clapton - Layla | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

"Clapton is God" was spray painted on a wall in London in 1965. Thanks for the great review, I love seeing young folk appreciating real rock.

Until Jimi. If you look at this video Eric starts the initial riff but once he starts singing it is played by another guitar. Jimi only had his guitar and a bass. He played the lead guitar full time. Eric is still one of the best.

Didn’t know Eric slayed.... understatement of the century.

[@larryg7126]

Can't think of many times he didn't slay with his fretwork, from John Mayall's Bluebreakers (Clapton is God graffiti around London), to Cream, to Blind Faith, to Delaney, Bonnie & Friends, to Solo work always been "Slow Hand" (tongue in cheek).

During a piece one time he made a mistake few if any would have noticed, he stopped apologized, saying I have made a mistake to audience and replayed the piece from the beginning. Mastery and integrity.

The rockin’ Layla was original version as per Derek & The Dominoes album. The acoustic came much later from a MTV Unplugged special. Mate, Clapton has been slaying since the early 60s. Try some Cream.

I worshiped Eric Clapton when I was in high school and I continue following Eric throughout my adulthood and mature right along with his growth.

[@jessicakoster2543]

I grew up on Clapton, my dad took me to go seen him when I was six. It was my first concert, I'll never forget it. For me, the two most iconic Clapton songs are Layla and The White Room.

[@AliasMark69]

I saw Eric "GOD" Clapton at the Carrier Dome in N.Y. AWESOME. we thought the walls wills come down with the Bass and Drums behind Eric's incredible guitar work.

[@steelers6titles]

Clapton knew exactly who he wanted on the Derek and the Dominos sessions--Duane Allman. He asked for him, and got him. On the original, the two guitarists are so intertwined that it's hard to separate them.

[@rafaelsale6364]

I'm so glad that the younger generation is appreciating classic rock songs like Layla. Sir Eric Clapton is the best. I've seen him in concert 4 times and he never fails to be awesome.

[@Dee-JayW]

One of the greatest musicians on the planet and a legendary love song! ❤️

[@vernhoke7730]

One of the most recognizable opening riffs in rock. When I heard this back in the seventies I'd crank that radio all the way up! Great choice of video too, the bass player jumping back as Clapton starts the intro is priceless.

[@marthalowe1556]

Strongly, highly, recommend 'Bell Bottom Blues' by Derek(Eric) and the Dominoes...from same album. The most beautiful, heartachingly felt love song ever, sung by him. His voice. The instruments. The lyrics. THE FEELING...

Eric released an unplugged album early 90’s which included an acoustic version of Layla. That’s probably the one floating around in your head

[@annettemoore7264]

I loved Eric, still do of course ❤ he is just a really genuine, lovely down to earth, unassuming guy with a bucket load of talent who was the "musicians" guitarist..the most heartbreaking song you will ever hear is Tears in Heaven..😪 he wrote that off the back of an horrendous tragedy when his little boy Conor aged 4 fell 50 floors from a apartment window in New York 😪 my heart broke for him and his wife. I have much love and respect for Clapton, he, like Floyd, Genesis, ELO Supertramp and the rest where an integral part of my teens in the 70s...❤

Eric Clapton used to be known as the goat on guitar. This man is just showing a small sample of his mad guitar skills.

Eric Clapton and Duane Allman on the same album. It was Duane Allman who amped this up from the original slower quieter concept...hIs power chords , soloing and slide guitar work in the original studio cut is unparalleled and cant be duplicated...RIP Duanne

[@lamb7]

Yes. Yes. Yes. Duane Allman. Gone way too soon at the age of 24. 😢❤

[@denniseldridge2936]

You didn't know he jammed like that??? He was the original solo monster from the late 60s early 70s, to the extent that fans called him God and detractors created punk rock, along with the "bullsh*t solo". He was known for endless solos back then*, mostly because fans demanded them, not necessarily because he wanted to, so he said in his autobiography. I have heard him rocking out like Stevie Ray Vaughn in tapes from the 60's, so he's the real deal. * The Onion had a headline: "Clapton Solo Enters third Day" lol

[@ryann5247]

Layla is a reference to a persian folk tale about a peasant that falls in love with a princess who isn't allowed to marry him. The song is them falling in love, the solo is them running away, and the piano break is them finally getting to be happy together. In reality, Eric is the peasant boy and Layla is Patty Boyd, who he couldnt have because she was married to his best friend George Harrison of the Beatles at the time Eric wrote the song

[@sherryarflin726]

Fun Fact.....on the album recording of this song, Duane Allman came up with the opening riff and played lead with Clapton. He also played on the outdo. For the album LAYLA Allman played lead and slide guitar on 11 out of the 14 songs on it.

Written about Beatle, George Harrisons wife which Clapton won over (seen him twice), the Piano part came from Claptons Piano player. Eric went in to the recording studio one night to pick something up and found the guy secretly recording on Erics time, Clapton loved the piece so much he made him a deal, he could keep on recording if Clapton could use the Piano piece on Layla,,,

You must have heard the successful unplugged version of Layla. This is its original form. Eric and Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers played on it with Eric's band Derek and the Dominos. If you want more Eric slaying it then check out his early days with Cream and Sunshine of Your Love, White Room or blues guitar with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton. Crea, Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos are the bands that Eric was considered one of the all time best. After rehab, he went solo and mellowed a bit, but there were still many killer songs on his solo albums.
