Riffblaster is showing his true masshole attitude in this thread. I'll clap to that. Masshole 4 life!!!

Eric Clapton…... overrated. Cream was good (and not all of it), Derek and the Dominoes had Layla and Cocaine. That's about it.
Rush...... overrated. prog rock for people who don't listen to any other prog rock.
mushrooms...... gross. it's like eating an almost hard sponge

Don't like Christy soles

Bored with this obsession with sharp high contrast fades on denim. Good job I ain't a HWDC judge.
-
Hate the neon colored resole jobs takeshi has up on his blog lately. Makes beautiful boots look like a cheap Nike product.
-
I think Gucci may have initiated that odious trend. At least the first time I saw this it was neon lasts on oxfords with athletic soles. I appreciate people going outside the box but I just can't get behind that one…

Reminds of the cole haan lunar series. Hate cole Haans, hate those more.

I don't care if indigo is "natural" or not, unless they have to level a rainforest to make synthetic indigo. As long as it looks and fades like indigo, I think I'm good. And I believe synthetic indigo is chemically quite similar, if not indistinguishable, from natural.
Organic cotton to me is MUCH more important.

Folks, this is what happens when you drink the bong water. You spew out non sense. Eric Clapton is the man!! He has a house here in columbus because he knocked up some young hot chick back in the day. his house is ridiculous!!! I think he is still married to the chick that's from here actually. They have like 3 kids together.

Gotta side with the riffman on this one, Clapton just doesn't deserve the level of recognition he receives IMO.
He's also a gigantic xenophobic douche, though that has nothing to do with my estimation of his guitar pickin skills.

i'm not saying clapton can't play….. i'm saying he's overrated. i'll take Rory Gallagher any day of the week over Clapton.
-
However, Clapton's taste in clothing is impeccable. He is, after all, an IH customer.
-
Nice…. anyone ever think "Slowhand" is kind of a backwards compliment of a moniker for a guitar god though?
-
And I'll take Peter Green over all of them !

The nickname “Slowhand” was not, as is commonly thought, given to Clapton due to playing the guitar slowly. Rather, it was given to him because of audiences giving him a slow hand clap when he would replace guitar strings on stage. When most guitar players break a string on stage, a roady will typically bring them another guitar and fix the string on the old one off-stage. Clapton, on the other hand, had a practice of standing on stage and replacing and tuning the string in front of the audience. While he was doing this during one particular performance, the audience gave him a slow clap or a “slow hand” until he had fixed it and was ready to play again. This slow-clap ultimately became a common thing with Clapton, while with the Yardbirds, where whenever he’d break a string during a performance, the audience would give him a slow clap until he was finished replacing it. According to Eric Clapton, the guy that managed the Yardbirds, Giorgio Gomelsky, then gave him the nickname “Slowhand”: “He coined it as a good pun. He kept saying I was a fast player, so he put together the slow handclap phrase into Slowhand as a play on words.”
