Geez, put those two together and I'd rather watch a race. Clapton is
the
most over-rated person on earth.
No, that's Barbara Streisand?

Jim Carrey and Celine Dion.

Game, set match. And all Canadian!

Bhwwwhhaaahhhaaa!!!

Actually The Pope is probably the most overrated person on the planet -
though the Dalai Lama is a close equal second with the Archbishop of
Canterbury and Ayatollah Al Khamanei.

Weird, as I have the Dalai Lama as most under-rated.

I confess a poor attempt to include multiple faiths :-(

But, none of 'em can do much apart from talk at us...

I sampled it and it's pretty good.

There is a "sound barrier" to be broken when it comes to what you
steal, and who you steal it from.

There are a lot of bands who are up-and-coming that prefer if you
steal their stuff, 'cause then they'll get exposure and people will
want to see them, and they'll sell more stuff. Then there's the
ones who have it all.

Back in the early 1970s when Led Zeppelin came to town, their
manager Peter Grant used to make a big show of marching into record
stores and marching out with their bootlegs. The media was always
invited.

Now a days? No one cares about Zep. So Page, Plant and John
Paul Jones probably have guys checking out how many hits their stuff
gets on Youtube!

And so it goes.

Stealing property is always bad. But when I download the Clapton /
Winwood, it's not of the quality that I want for my home theatre, so
if it appeals to me (and it does, thanks Paul). I'm a customer.

Paul B just sold another DVD of Clapton Winwood by telling me where
I can download the 1.4 gig sample. One suitable to watch and see
on my computer, but certainly not the one I want for keeps.

Super.

No one cares about Zep?? I bloody do. As it goes, I think Page is/was
a better guitarist than Clapton, Hendrix, whoever. Just listen to the
two breaks in the "Lemon Song" for instance. A lot of what Clapton
does is incredibly repetitive. :-)

My appreciation for Page increased after I saw Bert Jansch, and
realised where his roots really were. Being able to shake Bert
by the hand and have a little chat with him after a gig is one
of the moments in my life I will never forget.

That and sharing a couple of beers with Brian Robertson and talk
shit about other TL guitarists.

Jansch, yes, bloody brilliant. Wish I'd met him.

Sure he is. But you can be both over-rated and really good.

Nobody can live up to the hype around Clapton - including Clapton, and
he didn't manufacture it and certainly doesn't buy into it.

Interesting that Clapton himself agrees he is overrated, doubt he'd
agree he is the most overrated, that would be rather arrogant and he
is not that.
