I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.
Eric Clapton

At first the music almost repelled me, it was so intense, and this man made no attempt to sugarcoat what he was trying to say, or play. It was hard-core, more than anything I had ever heard.

I mean, the sound of an amplified guitar in a room full of people was so hypnotic and addictive to me, that I could cross any kind of border to get on there.
Eric Clapton
Image
Music will always find its way to us, with or without business, politics, religion, or any other bullshit attached.
Eric Clapton
Image
Every time you pick up your guitar to play, play as if it's the last time.
Eric Clapton
Image
An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.
Eric Clapton
Image
From the beginning, I knew intuitively that if nothing else, music was safe, and that nobody could tell me anything about it. Music didn't need a middleman, whereas all the other things in school needed some kind of explanation.
Eric Clapton
Image
So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good.
Eric Clapton
Image
Although they can do it all the time, you know, they're far better than me, on a musically, on a theoretical music level. You know, they're out of my league.
Eric Clapton
Image
