Quote from: "SPECTRE"I was referring to the STANDARD Beatles line-up. The regular, permanent members of the band. They were changing the face of music long before Clapton was declared God-like. Playing on one song does not mean Clapton was a Beatle. Harrison invited Clapton to play the solo because they were friends. To suggest that he somehow influenced the Beatles because of one solo is fatuous.


Squirming and scrambling to cover your ass is unbecoming and sleazy.



Just sayin.


Erm. I'm supposed to be nice to you.


And your point is? I'm not stopping you from being mean to me. All I'm saying is own your mistakes when you are called out on them.

That will happen when pigs fly!  Haha


Yeah, that's what I thought.  :laugh3:

But you know that my knowledge of music is better than that...

When it comes to Clapton, you seem to know sweet fuck all so I'm going on that basis.


Right.



And where were you in 1965?



1975?



1985?

I wasn't alive in 65 or 75 but I was in 85.



Where were you when Clapton rolled out Unplugged in 92?


Listening to Depeche Mode.



Who are they, I hear you ask?

RW

I know who Depeche Mode is :P



What makes someone overrated anyway?
Beware of Gaslighters!

Bricktop

Receiving accolades, awards or a reputation that exceeds their achievement or capability.



Like Eric Clapton, for example.

RW

So you don't see changing the fundamental sound of Rock and Roll as not exceeding the accolades?

He's defending a position that at this point is indefensible. He keeps saying the same thing over and over with a little  diversion thrown in with it. The debate has degenerated into the realm of the ridiculous.



You and I know along with about 99% of the music fans and critics of the world that he is wrong, so leave it at that. Sometimes when you think you are talking to the wall,  you actually are talking to the wall.

Muffin?


Always happy to point out futility when it appears to be hidden from others.



No thanks on the muffin. I can't eat this close to going to bed. It gives me nightmares.
