Saw Li12B's today at the cinema. l have been following EC's career since the 60's and was quite surprised how well this story was put together. It was an excellent production and l enjoyed the emotional journey very much. It is refreshing to experience a "documentary" that attempts to consistently call it as it was. I really liked its honesty and would like to see it again.
[ref film itself] 'Hurtwood Edge'. How to bio: get out of the way and let them speak and show for themselves. Obsession and addiction are not causes but self-therapy/medication, as so many are learning. Irony is Clapton had the answer in the literal meaning of the first song he wrote about Pattie (but cultural curse, notice the necklace [new religion]). Germany: Cutting a man's hair is a mark of slavery, disgrace, and/or conformity (ie David's men, Kings). The guitar sit, I can empathize (my anything never mattered). I always had a connection with Clapton and now I know why based on his childhood family issues that are similar to mine. Parents, love your children, and someone else's when you can. God bless all (please watch entire film and read my post carefully before replying).
Eric is a goddamn national, international treasure, I've loved his music intensely ever since I heard the Unplugged version of Layla back in the mid-90s, saw him in Vancouver in 1998, 2001, and 2011. He's a poster child for romantic trysts between naval crewmen and young local girls, if you're familiar with how exactly he came into this world.
Can't wait to see it. Also I believe I should be in Hyde Park in July! Was going to wait till he turned 75 and played the Albert Hall.. I was there when he turned 70. But one never knows what the future holds..
Eric Clapton's musically revolutionary compendium of work IS his Bible with him on the pinnacle as THE Guitar God; no further Box Office Overkill needs be spoken or written.
Actually,Eric wanted to do this,it's about him telling HIS, Story,much of the information comes from as childhood friend,who had been there in.the world where Eric's life began,there's nothing Showbiz about it ,he had daughters .that needed to know their Dads, Story,
There's a lot of reasons people get addicted thinking your musical heroes are invincible was one of two reasons for me the other was being a rotating shift worker and the frustration of missing out on social occasions
The saddest thing is that in all the addictions the one that remains present is the cigarettes, I believe Eric still smokes? But its what killed Bowie - he smoked - and George and Tom Petty - he had emphysema even at the end. Keith smokes - I would want to ask Ringo and Paul how they quit smoking cigs. Dylan even still smokes cigs. I love these and play the music on guitar now - its the sound track of my life but the dang cigs are horrible - sorry but the are.
Yeah, Interesting Documentary but for me once you've highlighted someone's motivations at various points it's time to move on and deal with the music but I guess that isn't how it works. As you see in this documentary just like on many other occasions Eric try's to point this kind of thing out but in life nothing changes much. That aside Love of work of Eric Clapton, fantastic. particularly his work in Cream.
11:02 well yeah Eric because there is no music industry anymore. At least not a good one. Or one where the "musicians" write and control their own music.
@6:35 "...none of that Behind the Music" as a reference to all those MTV/VH1 super-plastic documentaries with other rock stars sucking up to the camera trying to grab attention away or piggyback on a piece about someone else - good call on her part. Don't do that. No talking heads, LOL.
Film was too choppy. It only concentrated on his early years with Cream and D&D and quickly by-passed his solo projects and going right to Connor's death. Disappointing.
My boy. Not the reason I started playing guitar but the reason I stuck with it. He the man
Wow same here man
I found it a very dark film and very honest. This is the film to see if you think famous people are any different from the rest of us.

I really think HRM Queen Elizabeth should be Knighting him.
I thought unplugged sucked. He was at his absolute best in 88/89.
That's Lovely x
It's amazing that he hasn't been knighted,when you see Rod Stewart Elton and.Paul.Mc have ,Shall we start a petition,!?
Can't wait to see it. Also I believe I should be in Hyde Park in July! Was going to wait till he turned 75 and played the Albert Hall.. I was there when he turned 70. But one never knows what the future holds..
Your words seem prophetic now, as the cv19 prevented Eric,s european tour from happening
Love you eric experience teaches wisdom❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

CLAPTON İS GOD
He never liked that saying,but to a guitar player he is God
Stop that bullshit, he is not God.
I was disappointed in the movie
I hope her film is better than her storytelling.
Mike Albanese they are probably not used to bring interviewed
The host doesn't see to professional, do you think that's a fair observation?
Yea I was really just joking.
