Quoted from usandthem:Always love how a music thread can pull the greatest Pinsider of all time, Vid, out of his crypt. I never appreciated anyone who I never agree with at all more than Vid.
But at least I can always back up my statements.
Crapton sucks because:
1. He only knows a single scale. A half century of pitiful playing, and he has never been able to even learn a second one.
2. Most great songs people associate with Crapton, have other guitarists actually playing the difficult parts.
3. He has never written a hit song. All covers or written for him, with himself added on as co-writer so he can slurp half the royalties on the back end.
Yep, even Tears In Heaven was written by Bill Jennings
4. Crapton only spent a single day with his 4 year old son before he died.
Had no problem cashing in on his death for 40 years after
5. Brags about raping women
6. Crazy ass racist (Google "Clapton racist rant" from Rolling Stone website NSFW)
7. Sells a signature guitar named **Blackie** (my phone won't even let me type it in, lol)
8. Enjoyed putting a nude 11 year old girl on the cover of his album holding a phallus

Only good thing he did was cause Rock Against Racism to be created because of him
Crapton is the worst
