Recording blues songs he didn't even write and putting his name on it while hating the very group of people who wrote those songs.
It's obscene how many classic blues tracks are difficult to find because this asshole did an okay cover of it.
joeythenose t1_itmpasm wrote
"Okay" is a bit on the generous side IMO
Doobledorf t1_itmrhpk wrote
Absolutely, I just didn't want a bunch "well but he was pretty good" comments.
Nah, listen to some BB King or some shit.

he didn't hate black people, and he gave royalties to those original blues artists too ! unlike other 60s blues rock counterparts

It was 50 fucking years ago and he was a junkie at the time. People do and say stupid shit. Doesn't make him a lifelong racist any more than you posting this nonsense makes you a social justice warrior.

Well too bad you don't play guitar, or you could be our hero.
It's exhausting to see the same dummies react the same way to the same 150 pictures that get posted here.

Thank you. Fuck these keyboard ninjas racing in to be the first to scream racist or pedophile every damn time. Next she'll be correcting your grammar.
ObjectiveGlittering t1_itmd509 wrote
Imagine being this upset that your racist idol gets called out for being racist and your first thought is to try and shush the dog whistle.
Also this pic is a racist trying to impersonate the better guitar player. Funny thing is that without the caption, most of us would have little idea who he is. Jimi on the other hand?
blageur t1_itmtd6r wrote
Any time someone starts a comment with "Imagine..." I don't even read it because I know it's just some self-righteous dickhole preening for likes.

You’re going with the: “I don’t always read. But I always comment!” defense?

It was recently, while the white supremest, rapist, lying POS was pretending to be a president while destroying democracy one step at a time. Clapton was up there shouting at people from stage. He was banned from playing a lot of places. Not sure if that’s improved for him, but he really took a turn during the pandemic. Personally, he was a life long hero to me. But, I will no longer support him nor listen to his music. People like that need to just die.
blageur t1_itm7u54 wrote
It was 1976, and Clapton has owned up to it, saying he's ashamed of himself for it, and he was a nasty person back then. So he's acknowledged his wrongs, and tried to make amends for them. But you feel he should just die. No forgiveness - just die. Who's the bigger asshole here?

hcashew t1_itmena4 wrote
Inexplicably, George was OK with him stealing his wife. More forgiving than most, but he was a Beatle and the rebound would be as simple as snapping his fingers. No worries, mate!

If you are truly done with your SO having someone come along and steal her must come as quite a relief

Even wrote a shitty song about it in 2021:
"I can't take this BS any longer
It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door" ("this Has Gotta Stop")
CJnella91 t1_itn1sqn wrote
Sounds like your typical Qultist/Antivaxxer, Gross. The racist shit is enough for me to hate this guy even if it was 50 years ago but knowing he's had shitty views recently makes me beleive he hasn't changed in the slightest.

I’m sorry you got downvoted. He has admitted that he abused and raped his then wife back when he was a raging alcoholic.
