In fact you, Ian, Hunter, Tones, a few others whose names escape me at the mo.....are more likely to get my attention on matters musical than most here. Simply because of the fact that i know we lived through those era's in particular. CLAPTON does NOT suck. In fact, without belaboring the point, i would argue, {given the time}, That it was him and Mike Bloomfield that showed everyone after..."How it's done". And with what gear to do it with.
'Limited' noodly playing? I guess BB King should have fucked off in 1955 then.
KrautRock is NOT better. That's my opinion.
I never meant to say that you shouldn't have yours either. But all this 'he sucks' buissness, and the like....very distastefull.
I Love Leslie West...Have all the original LP's too.
But i'd personally rather discuss Leslie based on his own merits, than even try to compare him with Clapton. And Eric did it first.
Ever seen Leslie with the Vagrants?

He's the one that looks like a rhino.


Whatever, Clapton, except in Cream, just doesn't do it for me. I just don't dig white-man blues.
