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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Clapton asked my brother to play on his record. I thought that was the most wonderful thing in the world.
Eric Clapton is my dream guitarist.
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 had never been allowed to go on tour with my husband George Harrison, so had no idea what to expect when I left him to join Eric Clapton on his 1974 U.S. tour.
When we started the Allman Brothers, it was all about the music.
I was very influenced by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, both of whom I had the pleasure of playing with and becoming friends with.
First concert I ever went to was a group called The Yardbirds. Eric Clapton is the lead guitarist.
My guitar heroes are Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck and people like that - so I've tried to make an album of Robert Johnson covers that, well, while not totally faithful for blues purists, is faithful for people like me that grew up with the '60s and the electric blues-rock versions of Johnson's songs.
It's definitely true that Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of my all-time favorite guitarists.
I know he played on the last record but I don't wake up in the middle of the night thinking of Eric Clapton.
