And you have a point about clapton but the point is thea he dumped her 2 weeks later and that he had bin with her for a week and he told him not to do it and it was claptons girl in 1989 and no i am not a todal fan boy i just read his book.

Quote:

Clapton made a drunken declaration of support for former Conservative minister Enoch Powell (famous for his anti-immigration Rivers of Blood speech) at a concert in Birmingham.Clapton had said that England had "become overcrowded," and implored the crowd to vote for Powell to stop Britain from becoming "a black colony." Clapton went on to voice his opinion to the audience that Britain should "get the foreigners out, get the wogs out, get the coons out" and then repeatedly shouted the National Front slogan "Keep Britain White".Huddle, Saunders and two members of Kartoon Klowns responded by writing a letter to NME expressing their opposition to Clapton's comments, which they claimed were "... all the more disgusting because he had his first hit with a cover of reggae star Bob Marley's 'I Shot the Sheriff'". The letter continued: "Come on Eric... Own up. Half your music is black. Who shot the Sheriff, Eric? It sure as hell wasn't you!".

Put's sleeping with someone's girlfriend into perspective don't you think

He's also made derogatory comments about Jimi Hendrix, saying that Jimi's skin color reflected poorly on his quality as a psychedelic artist.

I find it ironic because Jimi was ten times the guitarist Clapton could ever be and The Jimi Hendrix Experience was waaaaaay more influential than the shitpile that was Cream.

Musical talent is very different from the talent we should expect of popular bands, simply being able to play what has been played for decades is not true talent. Sure it might take skill, and practise, but if you're unable to expand, and to make it interesting it is worth nothing.

So, in all honesty, how come you don't like Radiohead?

(Judging by your avatar...)

I find them boring, useless and lacking in any form of innovation that can bring something new to the table. Given the choice between watching paint dry and listening to radiohead, I'd watch the paint dry, at least then there's a chance that the fumes might influence my mind in a way that their dull music won't.

Not every artist or every album has to be innovative. And don't act as though innovation automatically means greatness.

Comus · 11-05-2008, 01:57 PM

I'm not, I'm merely stating that their lack of anything interesting make them terribly boring, and thus based on their large fanbase they become even more insufferable.

So what DO you listen to?

Comus · 11-05-2008, 02:15 PM

Eh I like prog rock, some nice classic rock, classical, currently very much into jazz and early 60's instrumentalist groups like the shadows. I have a fondness for Black Metal and the beauty within the brutality that the genre offers and embodies, along with lush atmospheres.

And I love folk.
