      Man, I can relate. Age 14, my mother helped me purchase a new Amp to play in a band in 1965. Got beat up by who I thought was my father. Age 17 left home from Oklahoma entlisted USMC. After my discharge met a lady in Chicago. After 17 years of marriage to my soul mate, I was forced to make a decision for DNR Do Not Resuscitate. She passed away Age 36 from breast cancer. I made a promise to my wife before she passed away to keep playing my Fender bass. It took a few years but picked it, encouraged by my two sons, ages 13 and 16. Here it is, 2024, Age 75, still playing my bass. Never give up playing music.

    IT'S INTERESTING THAT WHEN A CELEBRITY HAS DRUG/ALCOHOL ADDICTION ISSUES....it is often acknowledged that that it is often a result of understandable emotional struggles and personal stress due to job/career. That same understanding is rarely extended to the average person who deals with the same issues.

    The title is deceiving. Yes, Eric went through stuff. We all do. He created his own hell with alcohol and drugs and came out better for it. I discovered him when I was 14, dealing or not dealing well with the loss of my father. I have been a fan for 55 years. He freed himself of alcohol and drugs by the late 80s, found love in the early 2000s, and has four beautiful daughters and a wonderful wife. He has had a few health issues of course. His playing and singing are better than ever. I've seen him in concert twice in the last year and 28 times total. He continues to support and promote up and coming artists with his Crossroads guitar festivals that also raise money to support his Crossroads rehabilitation center that treats the poor for free. He has shown generosity and kindness towards fellow musicians who have fallen on hard times. He has donated and supported many good causes without making a public display. If I were to guess I'd say he's a happy man and deserves to be.

      ERIC'S COMPASSION IS EXEMPLIFIED BY AUCTIONING HIS FAVOURITE FENDER "BLACKIE." AT ONE STAGE HE OWNED 200 GUITARS AND AUCTIONED 100 TO RAISE MONEY TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE. WE ALL STUMBLE TO SOME DEGREE ALONG LIFE'S PATH. IT'S A MATTER OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE THE COURAGE AND WILL POWER TO PICK YOURSELF UP, DUST YOURSELF OFF, AND TRY AGAIN. FANS OF ERIC AND BLUES MUSIC CAN BE PROUD OF THE QUALITY OF MAN HE IS, NOT JUST THE QUALITY OF HIS MUSICAL TALENT.

      @@jims5922 I’m really glad he got out. I’m not jealous of it. I just wish it was a bit easier for the rest of us. I’ve watched so many “friends” go down over drugs or alcohol. I’m one of those people. I’m alcoholic. I’m one of the “good” kind? I don’t get arrested, or cause a ruckus, or crash cars, or any of that crazy stuff. My family loves me, spends time with me, respects me, ask me for advice, and tells me their problems. I’m disabled, but I work all day for my large family in a big house, with a ton of critters. I’ve been sick, amazingly not alcohol related, for a while now. All my organs are in good working order, I just stopped eating. Im on the mend. But getting care on Medicaid for mental health issues, when you admit to alcoholism, almost slams the door in your face. First, I have to go through detox. I’ve been throwing up for 6 months, and you want me to agree to do it some more?? And I have to leave my family??? I’ve looked for outside counseling. I can’t afford it. Just seems like the cart is before the horse.

    Did not mention the profound sadness Eric felt when Jeff Beck unexpectedly died. A great friend of his since the mid 1960’s and at times rivals which made there relationship complicated; however, they shared the stage with one another from time to time for 6 decades and did a World Tour together in 2010. Eric arranged a tribute concert for Jeff and also released a single of him and Jeff playing “Moon River”. The cover was a picture of Eric and Jeff walking in a snow covered field with one of Jeff’s dogs.

    Clapton's autobiography is a brutally honest look at his pain, his troubles, and his addictions. He was never high near Ginger Baker as he literally thought he might kill him. He recognized that people around him were dying. He feared needles so he sniffed heroin which cost more. He feared being a front man as he's not that strong a man by his own admission. The book is a great read.

Clapton came over and chewed him out. I thought he was going to fire him on the spot, in front of an enormous audience The poor guitarist just stood there and took it. What else could he do? Clapton was an asshole that night and I "personally" would have punched him out and walked off stage.

    I can relate to Eric's comments about his son and understand his initial reaction. He certainly has no need to feel ashamed, his reaction is a reflection of the depth of loss, so great that you reject it as not being possible to live with.
    When I was told at the hospital that my 16 year old daughter had not survived a knife attack at school I wanted to capture the words from the doctor's mouth and put them back where they came from. Then I was desperate to see her because they must have made a mistake. The quick senseless death of someone who you cherish and would give your life for is devastating at the time and they never leave you.

      I have seen Mick and Rory quite a few times each, live at the Marquee and Clapton at Sunbury and the Albert hall.
      I loved all of their performances, but if I had to, I would place .
      1. Hendrix, although sadly I never saw him live.
      2 . Clapton
      3. Page/ SRV/ Green/ Beck/
      And others only just slightly lower and almost as good and on the same platform.
      A lot of times it is about the Performances at the time.

    The true worth of such videos lies in humanizing accomplished individuals, revealing their vulnerabilities and weaknesses, just like anyone else. Celebrities shouldn't be considered role models. Bob Dylan's response to being asked for advice as a role model resonates with this idea: 'No, no, no, I'm just me.' He emphasizes that we shouldn't idolize celebrities, as some may be more lost than we are.

      Bulls#!t. His reaction to the vaccine was due to a preexisting condition because he demanded receiving ONLY the British version, (which was the equivalent of 18th century medicine) rather than the Phizer or Moderna, which wouldn’t have had the same effect on him. He broke my heart when he used his celebrity to stop many, many people from getting the vaccine and thus, being unprotected, succumbed to the virus when they would eventually catch it. My cousin being one of those people he inspired. I’ll never forgive him for such a selfish and globally devastating act.

    It’s amazing how many “chances” a celebrity gets after having one serious personal issue after another. The average person doesn’t get so many passes. This one gets special compensation because he plays the guitar well. Even so, we all have to face our demons sooner or later. Better to keep them to a minimum.

    I don't know why I clicked on a channel named "Project Hysteria." This one certainly is a bit hysterical, with SAD NEWS capitalized in the thumbnail. I guess I was just interested in whether Clapton had passed away. Learned my lesson. Blocking the channel now. I don't need added hysteria in my life.

    The example of a 'blues band' at 3:33 haha. He was listening to the early Chicago electric blues players, not some skinny tie Brit pop-blues outfit! Also, learning blues "chords" is pretty off the mark. I IV V is easily grasped by nearly anyone past the novice level. What he learned was blues melodic vocabulary, namely that which is played as single line "licks" using the minor pentatonic and blues scales. But your intentions are probably good.

I asked what they were chatting about and who it was they kept looking at "Eic Clapton" was the answer. "Who ?" I asked. They then explained he was a budding musician and was making a name for himself. Never heard of him ! I was 14 approx.

    I think some youngsters are very introverted and may have few friends. They turn to music and spend hours a day practicing isolated. Peter Townshend said learning the guitar made him accepted and popular. The Beatles thought it would help them meet girls.
    They transform from geeks to "gods." That's a big emotional range.
