Voodoochile, who said anything about age? I was referring to their individual guitar styles. To call Clapton "watered down" is an extreme statement. "Have You Heard" the Mayall/Clapton Beano album?

Onhwy61, I misread your post... about the age thing. I have never been that impressed with EC thats just my opinion. I think he is a VERY GOOD guitarist but not that great. If you do... Then great.. Im sure you would disagree with some of my pics and thats fine with me... Im not sure if i have heard the Mayall/Clapton Beano album but i will make a point to pick it up... I do have an open mind and im not out to put anyone down. I respect most who play the instrument because it is not an easy one... I also respect that you have your own opinion just like me. |
Voodoochile, no hostility intended. We probable agree alot more than our exchange indicates. The Mayall/Clapton album I'm referring to is: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=2:10:06|AM&sql=A9waxqj1bojaa It's not a great album, but it contains some wonderful blues guitar playing. Particularly strong tracks are "Hideaway", "Steppin' Out" and "Have You Heard". Although it's not on the album, Mayall/Clapton also do a very strong version of "Stormy Monday Blues". You might be able to find it on one of his numerous compilations. |
