    Nobody could play long melodious riffs like Eric. He is the best by far. On the other had Jimi Hendrix would come up with quick bursts of lead and he had tremendous showmanship whereas Eric stood in one place and from there he blew the universe. Clapton is God. The closest he came to the cross is Crossroads.

      Not really. Nobody could play long melodious riffs like Eric. He is the best by far. On the other had Jimi Hendrix would come up with quick bursts of lead and he had tremendous showmanship whereas Eric stood in one place and blew the universe. Clapton is God. The closest he came to the cross is Crossroads.
