My main gripes with the guy are:
- Boring solos.
- Really poor blues imitation (are we really going to accuse Eminem of ripping off black people when Clapton exists?).
- Those annoying "Look at me I'm pouring out my soul!" facial expressions when soloing. It's not so much that he does it; it's more that he does it when he's playing these really lazy one-note phrases during his solos, which, by the way, are boring.
- If you ask me, his music's dated terribly, aside from his work with Cream. "Layla" takes effort for me to get through.
