I'd go as far as to say GROSSLY over-rated! 👍

Is Clapton all that highly rated nowadays? The "god" comment was about 55 years ago & things have changed a lot in the meantime. EC does have a history of making people think he'd be better off keeping his gob shut & just focus on the music instead, though.

I think he's obviously a "difficult character", certainly doesn't come over well
Read recently about Brian May and Eddie van Halen. They recorded a blues jam together and sent it to Eric, dedicating it to him for how much he had inspired them to play. Eric was "almost insulted by it", and slagged it off. He could have said thanks guys!
He's obv very unpopular atm because of his lockdown stances.
That said ive just listened to his new album "lady on the balcony" and it's an excellent unplugged of much of his best stuff
I only discovered the Derek and the dominoes album last year. It's one of the best albums I've heard, incredible.

I always understood there to be a distinction between slurs and facts.
