>The only thing I’m concerned with now is being in my seventies and being able to be proficient. I mean, I’m going deaf, I’ve got tinnitus, my hands just about work. I have to get on the bottom of the ladder every time I play guitar, just to tune it, then I have to go through the whole threshold of getting calluses [on the fingers] back, coordination. I’ve had quite a lot of pain over the last year. It started with lower back pain, and turned into what they call peripheral neuropathy – which is where you feel like you have electric shocks going down your leg… I’ve had to figure out how to deal with some other things from getting old.

>my hands just about work

Makes you wonder how you could get arthritis when you've been phoning it as a guitarist since 1975. It's not like the guy has been playing speed metal for decades.

Can;t wait until the day this cunt dies

Believe it or not, even people who arent guitarists get arthritis.

spotted the wop

I know a guitar player who has this.
I wonder if it is a common thing for guitarists?

>I wonder if it is a common thing for guitarists?
If it is I imagine it's worse for bassists.

who cares about that racist piece of shit

I think bassist must have it in the shoulder as well?

>"I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism, It's much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black wogs and coons living here… Enoch for Prime Minister! Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!"

Based as fuck will be sad to see this patriot go

Nah, if you pulled up footage of him from the 70s it would be same way. Upper middle class babbies cannot into blues.

>Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. Wogs I mean, I'm looking at you. Where are you? I'm sorry but some fucking wog...Arab grabbed my wife's bum, you know? Surely got to be said, yeah this is what all the fucking foreigners and wogs over here are like, just disgusting, that's just the truth, yeah. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. You fucking (indecipherable). I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch's our man. I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking (indecipherable) don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don't want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck's sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he's a great man, speaking truth. Vote for Enoch, he's our man, he's on our side, he'll look after us. I want all of you here to vote for Enoch, support him, he's on our side. Enoch for Prime Minister! Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!
ABSOLUTE MADMAN
I can't wait for Twitter to have a fit over this when he dies

Yeah I'm surprised that guys like Kerry King can even still play at all.

I remember an interview from the 70s where he talks about guitarists like Brian May who could play things that were beyond him.

Nah Eric, you could have still improved and learned new tricks, but you gave up on life.

brian may sucks.
I listened to a live album of queen it was atrocious, I'd prefer to listen to clapton live.

Clapton always struck me as the kind of guy who was 50 when he was 25.

>I listened to a live album of queen it was atrocious
Problem with Queen is that a lot of their studio production couldn't really be replicated live (eg the multitracked chorus in We Will Rock You) so they compensated with sheer noise and amp power.

>Eric Clapton made a drunken declaration of support for former Conservative minister Enoch Powell (known for his anti-immigration Rivers of Blood speech) at a concert in Birmingham. Clapton told the crowd that England had "become overcrowded" and that they should vote for Powell to stop Britain from becoming "a black colony". He also told the audience that Britain should "get the foreigners out, get the wogs out, get the coons out", and then he repeatedly shouted the National Front slogan "Keep Britain White".

Christgau was right when he said that live albums are a waste and never truly capture the energy of actually being at the concert.

lol

Imagine your job is being a music critic yet you're enough of an idiot to not understand the purpose of live albums.
Or live shows in general.

Does he really have to keep playing shows at this age? I know it's Eric Clapton, the name prints money, but is it really worth it?
