Layla, what a crappy song
« on: December 17, 2005, 06:23:44 PM »
I'm sitting here at work and this song has been playing for what I'd guess is the last 10 minutes.

Crap, it never ends. It's horse chit....... the guitars sound like cats screetching behind that dumb piano melody THAT NEVER ENDS.

It actually started to give me a headache. Damn you Eric Clapton. "god" my arse.

The electric version drives me nuts too.  The unplugged version is much better.

Clapton ain't no Hank.

The song stinks, but i like it because i associate with the scenes in Goodfellas with all the dead bodies.
Clapton is dung, i cant think of much that he ever did post Yardbirds that merits much attention & the Yardbirds were much better after he left

I wasnt thrilled with the slow version, but the song that gives me a headache is "Hotel California" by the Eagles.

I guess there's no accounting for taste. Two of the top five guitar players of all time (as rated by the top twenty or so guitar players ever to pick one up) and one of the better keyboard players as well. Oh well.

Beat me to it.   Derek and the Dominoes is his best Post-Cream stuff.  I still like Bell Bottom Blues, and usually hearing it twice, before going on to track 3.   Duane Allman went too young.

I really like the unplugged version.  The gypsy kings version of hotel california is great, much better than the original.
