Clapton asked my brother to play on his record. I thought that was the most wonderful thing in the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know he played on the last record but I don't wake up in the middle of the night thinking of Eric Clapton.
Eric Clapton is my dream guitarist.
I can never make up my mind if I'm happy being a flute player, or if I wish I were Eric Clapton.
I just wonder where I was when the talent was being given out, like George Benson, Kenny Burrell, Eric Clapton... oh, there's many more! I wouldn't want to be like them, you understand, but I'd like to be equal, if you will.
I was very influenced by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, both of whom I had the pleasure of playing with and becoming friends with.
I thought Jimi Hendrix... was just phenomenal.
First concert I ever went to was a group called The Yardbirds. Eric Clapton is the lead guitarist.
Eric Clapton has earned all of our respect. He is the greatest. He opened the doors for us. Without Cream, there is no Allman Brothers.
Richard Lloyd of Television is one of my favorite guitarists. His mentor was Jimi Hendrix when he was just 14. Jimi was always pounding everything he knew into that kid.
The Beatles had some juice when it came to distortion, but Clapton was finally able to break through those early studio engineers' fear of overloading. He defined the sound that guitarists spend the rest of their lives trying to get.
