[QUOTE=snoot;793429]Say what you will about Clapton, but there is a reason just about every known axe out there puts him down as one of their inspirations. Was he the "greatest" in the modern era? Hell no. But if there was to be only one, as cited by both artists and the public at large (and when taking in one's entire body of work, plus the overall impact they had in their peak period), you would be hard pressed to come up with a name that would top his, Hendrix and others be damned. That's just the way it is.

Well put, Clappo deserves his dues...it´s not his fault he survived! Looks like he tried his best to kill himself so lets not kick him for that. He is an incredible player regardless of what limitations we think he has ie is propensity to use the minor pent. He got time baby in his pocket, maybe he don´t play your fancy exotic scales but as bluesers and rockers go he as you rightly put is up there.
Don´t get the Svr thing never been into him, to me just a flash jimi hendrix tribute...sorry thats what he´s famous for, he played like hendrix, with thick strings...hmmm not impressed. no offence to the dead like
