Do Korn sue people for selling their bootleg CDs?

Who is better Eric Clapton or Metallica ..????

Who is better: Eric Clapton or a singing turd?
|
Let me guess, the Eric Clapton edition existed just because he revealed to be Anti-Vax since 2020(Prior to this, he was usually apolitical and never even discusses political issues at all from what I seen until he gone anti-vax)?

Just because I think this performance is just bursting with Cream at their aggressive, exciting best: listen to it loud and see what "attacking a song" really means:- (Vocals- Jack Bruce, drums-ginger Baker, lead guitarist - cannot be named for legal reasons, and for fear of upsetting TH) |

For some reason, in my opinion he really "went south" when he fully went solo even before the rant that's been quoted many times over (and justifiably - in a live setting that's never called for such stuff). In bands - Bluesbreakers, Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and The Dominos - he was alright even though I still don't get the "God" thing attached to him. He could have even formed something with George Harrison and made it work if Cream's "Badge" is anything to go by. Maybe there was just being with others that curtailed the very elements which made many criticize him.
Growing up, I heard the talent but never really got into the MOR AOR/Dad Rock that he created. Maybe it was the Alternative 80's in me, but I seriously laughed when I heard "I Got a Rock and Roll Heart" and heard nothing but bland bar music while moving into '85 and wanting him to stop despite the fact that "Forever Man" was a hit with a capital S. The recent bit about going against someone selling a Bootleg (Live USA, just in case someone asks) that was one that can be bought from a German store (and I'm sure others) in the 90's was really something that could have been handled better by both parties but has shown the lack of communication we have today. Imtrat went through the loopholes and released a number of those dodgy discs, many of them under the Live USA banner - some possibly of serious historical interest to listeners - but to me it should have be a hint that it really should have been "No Go" to e-bay it if you can't sell it on Discogs. It was all clickbait headlines and the rest. |
I for one admire my Eric Claptin overlord and appreciate his accomplishments towards bein the shredder he is at the geetar
|
jk **** a musical copright money grubber
|
I hope Eric gets a ton of clap.

^ HaHa! Very droll !
Although it was a decade or so later, I actually attended the same High School as EC, so as you can imagine he was something of a local hero, and if you knew where to look you might see him in a pub. We saw him in the country pub that was three mins walk from from EC's house and where, reputedly, George Harrison had sat in the pub garden, admiring the spectacular view and dreaming up "Here Comes The Sun". The pub used to serve light meals, like paté on toast. This is a detail I remember because I was so proud of the remark I made to my friends: "I think I'll have the Paté Boyd." Top that if you can, Trollheart! |

Well, perhaps it was one of those things that seemed funny at the time, rs, but I feel your reaction is a little harsh :( + ;)
|
That's nothing. I once met Sean Dunphy in a chip shop AND he gave me a chip! :D
|
(...looks up Sean Dunphy...hmmm...football player...singer... ??)

Who is this guy,TH ? Your old gym teacher, or what? ;) |
More important question. Just what kind of chip did he give you? :D

And, yeah, Clapton's best work was definitely with Cream. His work with the Yardbirds was good but I'd rate Jeff Beck a little better, even if he was a flake. As for his solo stuff, his self titled album and 461 Ocean Boulevard, but otherwise, meh. |

The woman - we don't know her age - was basically selling off her dead husband's stuff on eBay. Thinking that she had some kind of nefarious reason is purely conjecture at this point. Like many partners of music fans, there is no reason to think she even knew or cared what a bootleg was. All she knew is that her hubby bought it in a shop sometime in the 80s and was of no use to her, so why not include it in with some other stuff of his to sell. The greed lies more in the third-rate musician-coddling and all the self-importance that generates. |
No, because they're self-important greedy fucks.

There was a time when, despite super-star status EC did a few low-key unadvertised gigs at local village halls near his house. Here's one with Gary Brooker and Andy Fairweather-Low among others:-
They don't pull any punches in the performance, even though there were only about 200 people in the audience. Added bonus: if you look carefully, you can even see Sean Dunphy in the crowd - he's the guy standing next to Trollheart. |
Jimi Hendrix's grandma is in there too.

With all this focus on his mid-career solo albums & persona: yes, I don't like the way he tried to turn himself into some rather too slick middle-of-the-road singer/songwriter, but if anyone has taken the trouble to listen to some of that Chiddingfold concert, you'll see a different Clapton: member of a really top-notch band cranking out great music, not for money or fame, but just for the joy of playing together. Let's put that on the balance sheet when we are listing all the ways in which the latter-day Clapton sucks, please. |
My problem with any of this Clapton business is that it all comes from an angle of
some kind of worship of technical prowess when the majority of it sounds like revved and hyped-up bar-band music full of all of the sound and fury cliches not only just associated with it, but actually encouraged by his worshippers. The gawd-awful pinched, nasal sax sound ... those chord-banging attempts of repetitious energy ... the rather uninspired drumming/rhythm overall ... semi-unconscious chord changes ... pretend "soul" vocals ... every kind of patterned backing and cliched soloing ... all of this in disregard to actual sound and more in line with him/them being showmanship entertainers. There's room for this in some people's lives, but I couldn't see any reason to look forward to hearing or seeing this. John Peel: Quote:

"At number 5, Eric Clapton with his new album Unvaxxed"....

The only time I listen to Eric Clapton is when I'm in the mood to hear some Cream or Blind Faith. His work with John Mayall and The Yardbirds was good but I've never cared much for either one. Everything he did after Blind Faith just bores me.
|
Yes, the same: I don't search out Clapton's music as a rule, but if I did it would be the old stuff.
Nonetheless, I'm a big fan of the musical style that rostasi and John Peel take against: pub/jam band rock. To me it's a good combination: a safe, solid beat and wandering instrumental stuff on top. If it has a predictable element about it, it is also capable of endless minor variations that trick the musically ignorant, like me, into thinking they are hearing something new each time. |

Funny thing about "Layla" is that personally I consider the best part of it to be the piano outro. Not really interested in the "shorter" version.

Wow! Your brain must have quite a retrieval system to have tracked down that off-hand remark! I think I enjoyed the shambolic intro more than the song itself.
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...zVdCw&usqp=CAU Meanwhile, Eric's grandma Rose was often rumoured to be at those impromtu local concerts, so that's another non-suck item to put on EC's balance sheet, imo; guy who takes his grandma to a rock concert. |
The first time I heard it, it made me laugh so it stuck. Kinda.

Eric Clapton is the most boring musician on the planet. Wanker at best
|
Do you actually know what wanker even means...like it is some outrageous activity... happens... it's nothing to do with music, go and figure it.
|
Yeah but it's also a term of abuse. "He's such a wanker. **** off you wanker! Ref! Are you ****ing blind, you stupid wanker? That was never a penalty!" and so on...
I find it hilarious that Peggy's family in Married With Children were actually named the Wankers. Peggy Wanker married Al Bundy. I'm not sure the writers even knew. Or maybe they did, but America didn't. :laughing: |
