Might see him with my dad, but I'm more of a Foxwoods man myself.
| | |
And as usual, we in Cincinnati are left out of luck. Oh well.
Ha! Joke’s on me, Eric.
| | |
Short tour! I think im going to have to get myself tix to Madison Square Garden.
| | |
Yes, John Paul, we are. Hmm... St. Louis might not be too far away...
| | |
I wish Derek Trucks would stop wasting his time with the old fart and tour with good artists.
| | |
Right. Because Sonic Youth is far better.
| | |
It's not my fault that Clapton is 30 years past his prime.
The Derek Trucks Band > anything Clapton has done.
| | |
I wouldn't quite say that. Clapton was great in Cream and Derek and the Dominoes. That said, I can certainly see where you're coming from.This Message Edited On 05.31.06

I dont see what's holding clapton back. I saw Les Paul a few months ago in New York, the guys like 90 with a hearing aid and he still put on a hell of a show!
| | |
Perhaps. But then Les Paul never stung himself out on drugs, did he?
| | |
Clapton is such a legend, I'm going to see him at the Albert Hall when it next comes around.
| | |
He's not coming anywhere near me.
| | |
Clapton is a legendary guitarist, not even close to being past his prime! Very few guiutar players can even come close to what he can do. Most new guitar players lack feeling, to much focus on speed.
| | |
...what? No Los Angeles dates? Not even any west coast dates. That sucks.
