Who thinks Harrison should have jammed a guitar neck in Clapton's heart

[Rabrrrrrr]

Just for Clapton being such a stinking arrogant overinflated suckwad?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. *raises hand*

[devilgrrl]

2. That makes two of us

Not a Clapton fan!

[rpannier]

3. Me

[elperromagico]

4. Well, he got his revenge eventually.

Patti and Eric aren't married anymore, now are they? ;)

[lilsourgoose]

5. Maybe Ringo can do it now.

And quickly, before he gives us all ear cancer with more of his uptight "blues".

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. LOL! That would be wondrous

Sure as hell ain't gonna be high-and-mighty-sir-shithead Paul who would have the cajones to eviscerate that miserable wanker.

McCartney might be due a bit of artistic punishment himself.

[loveable liberal]

6. clapton sounds like a cow.

what'd he do anyway? or is this for general irritation?

[the Princess]

8. Get him onstage with Pete Townshend

At some point Pete would kick his ass!

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. When I'm president of the United States, part of my "Bring Culture to the

American People" program will include a live concert, perhaps from the Rose Garden, in which Townsend, Lifeson, Jimmy Page, Beck, Vai, Gilmore, and some others will all play together with Clapton, but during the "Layla" solo, when Clapton is self-righteously and smugly noodling intolerably, the other guitarists will beat the hell out of him with their axes.

President Rabrrrrrr and his Cabinet and a small group of select,specially-invited DUers will stand and scream and applaud loudly with much jubilation.

And then we'll catapult N'Stink, Brittney, Beyonce, and Destiny's Child into the Potomac.

[the Princess]

11. Shit I'll vote foryou!

I like that plan!

[Old and In the Way]

15. You can run on the "Right to Strife" platform........should be a winner.

[Swamp Rat]

17. I would PAY to see this!

:D

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. You'll be on the A-list of invitees!

WOO HOO!!

Then after he's a bloody pulp, but still alive enough to listen, they'll yell "Now this is how you play the fuckin' blues!" and they'll JAM JAM JAM! Clapton will just lay there, in a fetal position, crying, while the crowd whips his old records at him like frisbees of razor-edged death.

[Swamp Rat]

22. Can I get up on stage and "jam" with the other fellas?

I can "play" guitar too.

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Absolutely!

You can be in the compare-and-contrast section. They'll all play and say "This is how it's done properly". Then you can play, and they'll say "And this is what you sound like. Shitbrain."

[Swamp Rat]

26. Actually, I play mostly nylon string now, so I can do a mock version

of one of his acoustic tunes. Then I'll play a Robert Johnson tune, adding in a bit of polyphony/counterpoint, set down my cheap guitar (I'm too poor to own an expensive instrument), walk over and pick up his $10,000 Ramirez and break it over his head. How does that sound?

"TWANG!"

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. That's an excellent idea!

Nail him with his own guitar. he's already done it great dishonor by not allowing it to be owned and played by someone who gives a shit. Might as well show the ax some honor and let it kill the idiot.

[Swamp Rat]

28. Poor guitar though...

:cry:

If only I had one hour to play some Bach and Villa-Lobos, or at least some Bossa Nova... I would likely just grab his guitar and help it escape to freedome to Brasil... Aiiiii!!!! A gente for junto muito rápido ao aeroporto e voar até á liberdade no Rio!

9. Hell, Keith Relf should have snuffed him.

[jdots]

12. i do i do

he has become elevator muzak thats brutal because he pays well. and he should the mother is loaded...meanwhile Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker are unkowns...it's the old FRONTMAN-itis.....

[Spider Jerusalem]

13. Clapton should've OD'ed back in 1971.

Then he'd deserve maybe one tenth of his bloated repuation.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

14. Should have jumped out to catch his kid, THEN he would

be a hero. As he is now... ho hum...yeah, the dude can play a guitar, so can my uncle bob, but, blues?
uhnuh.

[Mr. Blonde]

16. Tasteless

The passing of his son is very sad. It also led to one of the saddest songs ever like Clapton or not. The Unplugged version of Layla I think is much better because it is shorter.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

19. Tasteless yes, but I was not aware this was a love fest

My apologies if your sensibilities have been adversely affected.

[devilgrrl]

20. You mean "Crocodile Tears in Heaven"?

Eric Clapton loves no one but himself.

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. He and Billy "I suck" Joel should get married

They're just perfect for each other. Full of self-love, and neither one can play the music they purport to play.

[immoderate]

24. At last!

How wonderful to suddenly stumble into a place where Clapton is properly deprecated. I thought I was nearly alone in thinking he was wwaaayyyyy overrated.

He's not god here, huh?

Cool!

--IMM

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. He hasn't found any friends so far!

I think Springsteen should also get a chance to whale on him with a guitar in the Rose Garden, now that I think about it.

[Robeson]

29. No, you're not alone.

[UpsideDownFlag]

30. harrison can't even hold a candle to clapton. how about dem apples?

geezy peezy. Clapton's entire career was fabulous, from 'cocaine', way back in the day, to his unplugged stuff in the nineties. what did harrison have? that song where he repeats 'hari krishna' in the chorus? pfft.

[Robeson]

31. "dem" apples? Hey, don't drag Democrats into this arguement...

[UpsideDownFlag]

32. fine. them apples.

clapton is the fucking man.

[Robeson]

36. Last Good Clapton album? 461 Ocean Boulevard, it was all...

...downhill after there.

[Swamp Rat]

33. Unless he can do it from Elysian Fields...

... hold a candle that is.:D

I thought this thread was mostly satirical?

[Robeson]

34. That picture just scared the hell out of me.

[Swamp Rat]

37. "Wanna see somethin' scary?"

[Robeson]

39. No! No! Mommy, make the bad man go away!

[Swamp Rat]

40. "Man?" ... this is NO man.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

50. Swamp Rat... love the new name... got a new personality

to go with this total change?

I see you are in your green period now. Nice.

What kind of filter did you use for the zoom-zoom-soom look on the lizard king?

[Swamp Rat]

51. Whew! I was wondering what period I'm in.

I can't keep track of my personalities. :D

If you use Photoshop (I use 3.0... I know it's old, but I'm unemployed and can barely pay for my textbooks): try the radial blur filter, zoom setting, then adjust for desired effect. Have fun.:)

Btw, you got any good pics of Santorum? I MUST expose this lizard for what he really is! :evilgrin:

[Enraged_Ape]

48. Do YOU wanna see somethin' scary?

I sure wish I had Mopaul's larger version available. There is just nothing like being taken by surprise by it at 6:00 in the morning.

[Swamp Rat]

49. Ugh!

:puke:

[Rabrrrrrr]

35. Satirical? No way. Clapton really does suck.

:-)

[Swamp Rat]

38. Well, good satire is based on truth, right?

:D

[donheld]

41. You all are sick Apparently George forgave Eric why cant you?

As you supposed liberals might say "let him that is without sin cast the first stone" Eric is fabulous on this tribute CD George's son sure doesn't seem to hold it against Eric

[Rabrrrrrr]

42. Oh, Christ, read the thread properly. It's not about the wife stealing

Who cares about that.

it's about Harrison having umpteen gazillion times more talent than Clapton, and Clapton being a self-absorbed, self-glorifying putz.

[donheld]

43. On this one i cannot agree

Eric is one of the major talents of our lifetime. As to whether he's self-absorbed, self-glorifying i see no hint of that. Maybe in his drug days he was who knows. I'm sure he's no saint, but who among us is?

[lilsourgoose]

44. Eric is a whore...

He shows up to the opening of a bottle! I'm sick of his "guest appearances" on every second album that comes out, where all he does is wank the same identical ugly guitar solo as he has 10,000 times before. The man has all the passion of a calculator from the 99 Cents Only store. "Tears In Heaven" is ghoulish and exploitative, and only about 1% better than Kenny G.'s most soulful efforts.

[Robeson]

46. Hey, as my post showed, I don't care for him either....

...but tell us how you really feel!!:evilgrin:

[mr blur]

45. Gets my vote.

Derek hasn't done anything interesting since 1970's Layla, and half of that was down to Duane Allman's presence.

[ProfessorGAC]

47. Ssssssssssssssssssssss!

Methinks you are failing to put Clapton's early playing in the proper context. He was, at the time, doing what nobody else was doing. To view his contributions through the prism of today's guitar vocabulary is just wrong. And, this is coming from a giant George fan.
