    The only Gods down here are Iommi, Page and Geezer Butler. Repent Heretics, your soul can still be saved!

    Cream was pretty wicked. "Strange brew" "Sunshine of your love" "White room" all excellent.

    I've done some more research and it turns out it was all just a big typo. What the originator of the quote meant to say was, "Eric Clapton is Good!" However, he was so stoned he misspelled the word good.

    I trust this will put this urban legend to bed once and for all.

    Eric Clapton? Are you serious? This guy is over the hill! When was the last time he had a hit? 30 years ago? He's more concerned as most musicians of his time are with being a millionaire than making hits! He's too old he probably couldn't produce a hit. He's to out of touch with the younger generation/irrelevant.

    He is, at best, okay. Jimi Hendrix was God, and SRV was Jesus. Roger Waters is the Holy Spirit (for songwriting.)

    Okay, maybe he's a demi-god, but that's as far as I'm willing to concede!

    Here's the album that started it all:
    [​IMG]
    That's the famous "Beano" album. Clapton is the one reading the Beano comic; that's John Mcvie on the right. This was a groundbreaking album--the birth of the modern guitar solo. Clapton holds a singular place in rock history; he was the first of the modern rock guitarists. Of course, all Clapton was doing was playing speeded up B. B. King licks (which Mike Bloomfield was also doing at the time in Chicago with Paul Butterfield), but it was how he was playing them that was the thing. Using a Les Paul and a 30 watt Marshall tube amp cranked up all the way, Clapton got a tone and sustain that no one had heard before. It also ended the ten-year reign of the Chuck Berry style of rhythmic playing that had dominated rock and roll up to that time. So get the CD, crank up "Hideaway" or "Steppin Out" and enjoy the groove...
