I've played guitar since 1986...Eric Clapton was my idol as a child.
I've always felt his guitar playing is just so authentic compared to his peers.
To me, he was the first proper lead guitarist.
I love playing music with my guitar.
Thanks Eric.
You're the best.
💯😎✌🏼🎸👑
"I love playing music with my guitar"
Somehow that comment is so simple and good 👍
Eric seems authentic and nice and genuine. Not a phony celebrity. He does look very different in so many photos.
Paul Carrack says that-unlike everyone else in the industry, who contacts him through management and such-when Eric wants to work with him he always calls personally.
Good that Eric is still around,unlike a long list that aren,t imparting their wisdom
ERIC PATRICK CLAPTON GOD BLESS YOU IM SOOO PROUD OF YOU BE BLESSED 🙌 ❤❤ TRUST IN GOD ERIC FOR ALL THINGS YOU GOT THIS I TRULY ADMIRE YOU MY CLAPTON ❤❤❤❤❤❤
God bless you Eric for showing me the way ❤
Recovery is a long, ongoing process. So much more than just not using. His Honesty is Refreshing & Needed.
It really is ongoing isnt it? my neighbour is a raging alcoholic with special needs, has care workers daily, the experiences with this person have been alarming yet funny at times. Your right its not just about the using its those inbetween hours of the day, how to keep tunnel vision of keeping it together and perhaps channelling the problem into something else. Eric has the gift of voice and guitar and yes his honesty IS whats needed for people to make real changes but they have to really want it for themselves.
Texasthepsychic;
Thanks . I like what you're saying
Yeah the tunnel vision that took place indicates one has already gotten emotionally hooked to the desire to use.
How well I know those times and lived in them a long time..
It's freedom to see yourself when that happened and now is not going on.
It is a long effort.
Thank God.
i love that he is a real man, he is not in characther. he is a professional musician that is famous
He's a survivor.
true
He's a self important Dufus.
@@Baxterbrookies A high calibre racist also.
Clone
Typical 'I'm a victim' colonial racist thief.
Isolationist.
how many of us are shaking our heads like this, yes, that's right, I feel the same way about my younger self.....
This is the good stuff !-- When ya see yourself ( your former high-self) talking blather ...
Its an admission that tells me hes sincere and clean and has become a true real success !
To me he's a big brother, giving me inspiration to stay in my real self ,keep far far far away from my blather- talking drug seeking old self
So thank you
EricC ¡!
Eric is totally honest love you
can relate.
I can totally relate to everything he said.
That’s a very smart man right there.
God bless you, Eric. You overcame a powerful demon.
Demons are religious myth. The boy stopped drinking and doing drugs.

@@plainolamerican Romans 1:28
Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, *He gave them up* to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
2 Thessalonians 11
For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion *so that they believe the lie.*
It is a person’s choice whether to accept and believe the truth of Jesus Christ as presented in the Scriptures. To receive the truth and the love God offers is in keeping with its teachings, “This is love for God: to obey His commands” (1 John 5:3). Conversely, to know the truth and not obey it is to face the wrath of God: “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness” (Romans 1:18). Frankly speaking, there is no more dangerous condition for man than to know the truth and refuse to obey it. To do so is to harden the heart and make God’s condemnation sure.
When one knows the truth and refuses to obey it, he is subject to any lie, any deception, any untruth that humanity can conjure up. “For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:21-22). Paul goes on in the next few verses to describe the mindset and behaviors of those who disbelieve (see Romans 1:29-31). As a result of human foolishness and arrogant disdain of the things of God, “God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done” (Romans 1:28). And correspondingly, “Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things, but also approve of those who practice them” (Romans 1:32).
Isaiah puts it succinctly: “They have chosen their own ways, and their souls delight in their abominations; so I [God] also will choose harsh treatment for them and bring upon them what they dread. For when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in My sight and chose what displeases Me” (Isaiah 66:3-4).
When people know the truth and refuse to receive it, when they refuse to obey it and hold it in unrighteousness, “they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth” (2 Thessalonians 2:12 NLT).
“God is love” (1 John 4:16). He is not some cruel monster who deliberately and inwardly delights in preparing people for everlasting condemnation. But He earnestly and lovingly proclaims the gospel of Christ, “not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
Throughout the Scriptures, God urges people to accept the truth. But when people reject Him and spurn His message, then-and not until then-God hardens them and turns them over to a deluded mind to wallow in their wickedness to their eternal damnation. This is what the Lord says about those who choose to reject the truth: “They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the Lord does not accept them; He will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins” (Jeremiah 14:10).😅
He used to guzzle Special brew and vodka ....good combination to get and stay pissed !
Wish stevie could still be here to say the same
I was fortunate enough to see the great Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Montagne Center in Beaumont, Texas Oct. 23, 1985. Will never forget it.
Get the light out of the mans eyes
Read Patty Boyd's book.
I think alcohol does so much damage, that a number of people I know aren't drinking are still acting foolish...
I think that if you drink two bottles of cognac like he did you get damaged forever. I know he has some health problem. As a persona he looks very shi, I think it would be quite hard to make friends with him, I see him like a strange person.
" I think alcohol does so much damage, that a number of people I know aren't drinking are still acting foolish. "
Good point. It's a bit like fetal alcohol exposure - the impact runs deep.
In AA it's referred to as being a dry drunk. Just because you've put a cork in a bottle doesn't mean you've dealt with your negative ways of thinking and acting that are generally a cause of your alcoholism to begin with. Also, if you don't learn to deal with the wreckage of your past either it can lead to relapse
P C that’s an amazing way of explaining it!
Alcohol was probably the list of his problems. He was doing heavy drugs back then. He is lucky he made it till his age. Many musicians from his same era did not make it a long time ago.
Ben Affleck needs to hear this.
Maye McDonald why because you have an idea of how he needs to behave? Do you know him or his family?

@@lucid685 Well Affleck is a pompous, preachy Liberal Hollywood Elite who doesn't think twive about telling others how they should vote, speak and behave so maybe a little of his own self absorbed medicine would do him good
Every addict has to find his/ hee own way. The reasons for this addiction is different for these people. So do not assume one person’s experience is a guide post for anyone else!
Who ?
Robin Trower ..... Yngwie Malmsteen
If you see video of Eric in the 1970s, he is pretty pathetic. Glad he got out of it.
what about the heroine? And destroying Layla's (Pattie Boyd's) life?
Alcohol does kill brain cells.
Did he get his chin removed?
LMFAO
NO, LE QUITARON LA BARBA! 😂
Eric Clapton owes one million apologies to millions of people for what he's said and done. In particular he owes Rita Coolidge for half of his Layla royalties, whom he has refused for decades to credit for the 'coda', without which that song would only be a curiosity.
and ruining Layla's (Pattie Boyd's) life
Let me guess, you're a liberal with the IQ of a grape
He doesn’t owe anybody shit 😂 You sound so fucking dumb
@@lynnhubbard844You couldn’t be more wrong
He can play, he can often sing, he knows who else can, but eternal shame come out of his mouth at all the wrong times.
Made some of his best music while he was on the stuff, just sayin...
Alpa Chinos: Played better on heroin than booze, but that could just be because he was younger.
Good for u!
Now, maybe u could work on ur racist problem???
Shame it took him 40 years to apologise for his heavy racist past.
@TheMomkerg He apologized back then. In person to his friends because he had class and did not need to do it as a PR stunt. And he spent the last 40 years proving he was not racist. One drunken night is a mistake, not a lifestyle,. It only came up again because he wanted his doc to be completely candid unlike a troll who sits behind a computer to be mean. People like you are why we will never have peace.

@@pabloperez4063 Thank you. :) It is the truth.
Was it the Greeks or the Chinese he was after?
Everyone is a racist. Didn't you know. Racist. So what.
The boy got sober and then turned into a deplorable anti-vaxer.
A man describing a bad reaction he had to an experimental drug, and your response like most people is "anti vaxxer" ! Fucking idiot.
You truly do have s*** for brains. The side effects from that concoction have killed and maimed thousands of people. You are totally in denial.
Take your vaccines like a dog, quarantine yourself like a dog, muzzle yourself like a dog, pathetic
He got jabbed twice and suffered awful side effects.. like millions of others. He suffered neuropathy and was worried he wouldn't be able to play guitar again.
You a Marxists
Alcohol withdrawal is horrific.
It is
