"Creep" - Prince at Coachella 2008 (Uploaded via Permission from Radiohead & NPG Music Publishing) 

Fair enough

Who is bitching? It’s RU-vid.

not your problem mate, thank you very much for the share

Chill everyone TPups play game 3 at home Enjoys ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UG3VcCAlUgE.htmlsi=-axKSj85ylDIunAt

You hit pay dirt. 7 thousand subs with over 12 million views on one video!!! Hopefully, NPG isn't taking all of the money from the video publishing. I'm just one of many that have watched this video sooooo many times! Thank you!

He changed the perspective of the entire song, it’s almost like this is the response to Radiohead’s version of the song.

That’s exactly what I was thinking when I went back and listened to Radiohead’s original version, which is excellent too I might add. I said to myself, “This man says I am a boss. Period.” And he says it every time he picks up a guitar.

Prince wasn't the type of man to feel insecure around a woman ...u would have to understand that Minnesota players mindset to get it ..

@@sugarhillromelo1569 He means Prince is alpha regarding his handling of the Radiohead song “Creep.”

@@CandaceLeAnne maaaan, he's an alpha period. In life and in music. He's hyper masculine. He's transcended masculinity to the point of androgyny. Yet has an unquestionably solid hetero record of dating only the most exquisite women this dimension has to offer.

m Dearman 🤣🤣🤣

😁😁😁😁

m Dearman yeah but he spent a LOT of time miking those stairs first. 🙌😂🎸

That made me lol too much lol

Lol

The crater he left, couldnt of said it better! To quote dave g, a superhuman, a titan!

Well put!!!

❤❤❤

❤❤ TRUE WORDS

Well said

They stole the song and had to forfeit royalties

​@@TonySkiens...err your wrong...They did lose the case and now give a co- writers credit and pay royalties on that. Very different from your statement.

I don't know, he covered the Foo Fighters

Radiohead fanatics hate this song. No where near their best work.

Prince only covered songs that he admired or connected with. Dude is the GOAT. And therefore, Creep and Best of You officially rank.

indeed

I have never felt so pissed off!

I pay 9.99 a month RU-vid Premium, I never have to watch ad's.

@@trenawawrzyniak4397 same lol

@@trenawawrzyniak4397 right youtube music and premium family plan is 17 a month and i dont regret a second of it 😁

+Mona Holmes it's generally a really good set - full of real treats. bit jealous. not a fan of this but would not have minded seeing it for the novelty value. :-)

Prince was my second concert ever. It was during the Musicology tour. It was amazing.

I can just imagine the look on your face at the end of the show when he said that. LOL

I was there as well with about 10-15 of my friends. And same...

You all were very lucky/fortunate. I can’t imagine watching him performing this cover! I saw him on the Purple Rain tour when I was in college. That was the best live performance I have ever witnessed! A true master and a showman beyond words…..

I hope I get a chance meeting with you one day, just to have you tell me about that experience in person. Coffee or drinks on me.

Congratulations on being privileged as fuck in life. Seriously. You are easily top 5% and I hate you

Congratulations of winning the lottery of life. Seriously, there is a 0.1% chance you life is remotely difficult. If you're not helping others, you may as well be a Boomer

Neil Peart informed Taylor Hawkins that Prince was playing the Foo Fighters "Best of You" during his super bowl performance as it was happening.

I think artists celebrating fans performing their work is a beautiful thing. But to have your work covered by another rockstar..... There's whole compilation videos of celebrities losing their shit when they meet someone they idolized before they became famous. It's freaking adorable

I just heard about this and how Radiohead fought to keep it on the internet. Such a beautiful thing they did.

Which is ironic because the main guy from Radiohead, fucking hates this song.

@@thecrimsonghostakathefiend7508 Exactly. The hypocrites.

@@thecrimsonghostakathefiend7508 Thom Yorke doesn't hate Creep. He didnt want to be typecast by that one song. He felt the expectations from Creep limited his creativity. For that reason, he stopped playing it until a couple of years ago. The rest is history ... Radiohead was the most influential rock band from 1996 to 2010.

Same

Same

Thank you! Watching this I felt he poised it so deliberatly, it's almost a tribute. But it's his own too. Incredible.

Love his lyrics.

Stupendously creative was Prince

@@michellesewell81 It was written by Thom Yorke of Radiohead. He hates singing it and has for something like ten years now.

yeah, real rocket science

I think this is my favorite comment of all the ones I've read on Prince videos and it sums up the breadth of his talent almost perfectly. They would need to collaborate with each other...and then hire like 20 people to do everything else he does and play everything else he plays.

He was the greatest at it all

The Emperor. Couldn't agree more. .

And we were so blessed to catch a glimpse of something so beautiful and rare , he gave us all something too beautiful for words It rests in your heart. Peace and Love

Dude c'mon you're fucking delusional. All of those people are better at their respective instruments than Prince, not parallels. And Bob Dylan is a better songwriter. Period.

solid 7 to this comment for the 'electronic' mishap

@@ACIB708 solid 9 to this comment for the comedy element.

That was an awsome night. I got to go back stage.

Gran suerte la tuya,.... yo lo vi en Barcelona y al final del concierto toco la guitarra española con notas de Paco de Lucia ....simplemente purpura

Did prince need rems permission for that night in 2008?

When he stopped the posturing and annoying self-promotion as being rock's new Messiah it was plain to see that's exactly who he was.

He was anointed. The anointing is GOD'S presence and mark on a person.

💯% FACTS ME TOO "FOR YOU" 8TRACK

Yeah. L

Was going to say like Mozart

One of the very few artist who could take someone else's classic and make it his own. I think his incredible showmanship tended to overshadow his guitar wizardry. I remember all those yearly polls Rolling Stone used to put out of the 10 best guitarists. The usual names would rightly be there: Clapton, Van Halen, Vai, Jeff Beck, Brian May, David Gilmour. I'd wonder why Prince's name wasn't included because he wouldn't take a backseat to any of them. I doubt the world will ever catch up to his music years from now even from decades past.

Agree wholeheartedly

+April Shattuck Das ist gut! Nicely put

Amen.

I live in Portland, Oregon, not even Minnesota, but my city lit up a major bridge with purple lights last night to honor him. Many places across the world lit up purple last night. His genius and his charisma touched so many, and I am still crying today. He is irreplaceable.

+April Shattuck Yes!! That was amazing. P-town came through. He will be missed.

You ain't lying

he seems to understand the song much more than even york could do. total beast

@@elpelicanojiji yorke dont need to understand he live through the song himself thats why he wrote it. He just got tired of singing it because the feeling is not the same anymore untill he got older and just realised “da heck with it” just sing it

@@godzullafc1280 "he lived through it". I like it

FURST

And wtf are you doing here m8

I love this performance. I love the original. But man prince made it even more amazing. 💜💜💜🙏

@@deniseiles9764I swear it seems like Princes guitar is just a natural part of his body. His playing is so beautiful, soulful, expresses everything Creep represented lyrically. He was just amazing. It’s the perfect description when he changed his name to The Artist. He sure was. Irreplaceable man.

❤ my thoughts!

I don't think that Radiohead consider Creep as a "masterpiece", neither a lot of fans, neither me

@Voracious Reader Creep is a great song. The Radiohead version is an absolute classic . But what Prince did here was absolute genius. You cannot deny this talent. And to find fault and cast aspersions like you've done is petty.

Voracious Reader ay .. Prince can ‘distort it all he wants to since he wrote that muh fkr go readuh all about it

Lisa Mo lmmfao

@@esscay5459 😜

I was there. Ac trust me when I sat we did not deserve Prince Rogers Nelson.

❤️Indeed❤️

+Jeremy Avers Very true. I'm bawling my eyes out with this on repeat.

Very Simply and Very Perfectly Put

skitsy17 can I reply here? You really can't put RU-vid recordings on repeat. What you can do is use Garage Band to record a digital music file while you've got this video playing. Save it as an MP4 (or 3, I'm not sure, it's been a long time). If you know any musicians who can clean up the sound noise, even better. Upload the file to them and then you'll have a unique tune for your digital music collection (iTunes or whatever you use). And just to show respect, I personally would make a donation to one of the many charitable causes that Prince cared so much about. Maybe find out what causes are important to Radiohead too. Then we're all playing nice : ) I understand the principle behind Prince removing his content from RU-vid, but in the end, I think it might have backfired. Or it will in the future, when people who were babies or not yet born when he died won't have any live footage of him to show up randomly in their RU-vid feeds. That's how I find AND BUY a lot of music. (I do not advocate stealing music--if you love it and it enhances your life, please support the artists.) That's how this video came to my attention--showing up in my RU-vid feed. It was in the lineup--I wasn't listening to Prince. I was checking out the sound blunder during Radiohead's Coachella performance last night (major bummer). Then I found this. I love it. Even if Radiohead isn't keen on this song, I really love it--both versions, this one and Radiohead's. Guess I'll use Garage Band to create my own MP3 and put it on repeat too. And I'll make a donation since I cannot buy it. So glad Thom Yorke insisted on putting this video back up after Prince's people removed it claiming copyright violation. Beautiful, haunting song--intellectual property belonging to Radiohead. Glad he persisted : ) RIP Sweet Prince Thank you, Thom Yorke

right click the play button and then select 'loop' ;))

Very true!

So true

where did anyone read or hear radiohead fought to keep this on youtube please?

@@soulkiss1001 It's very easy to google this. Prince didn't want any videos online so he had the video removed. Radiohead challenged it was their song and their right to have it online.

Uh, of the 22 songs he played in this set, 11 were covers...

Yes. Yes, I do.

The reason there are so many recorded tracks in his vault is largely due to the lyrics not being what he wanted to say at the time of the recording or release of the album. Prince often pulled tracks out of the vault for future albums but the vast majority never again saw the light of day. Prince from the very beginning of his music career established the practice of recording songs as they came to him in his head and had a full time recording engineer and the necessary recording equipment at his home, at his band rehearsal space & while on tour to capture his flow of creativity.

such a great observation of the tenses. thank you for sharing

Excellent synopsis

You need to look up Prince at Montreaux playing the song "Empty Room". It's epic.

Shame it was never recorded in the studio, it couldve easily become his hendrix/all along the watchtower, or johnny cash's hurt

And then he tells RU-vid to take it down! Great reaction from Thom

@@dalgetty he didn’t Radiohead asked RU-vid to not take it down

@@dalgettymight want to reread your source lmao

💜

+leounn So true, sadly...

Some of us did!

Truth!

I knew it when i was 16. 35 years ago.

If that ain't the goddamn truth

Ive been listening to it since the following morning when this was played live at the Coachella concert at the Indio Polo Grounds, and I come back to it ever few months or so. Im not sure why exactly but it makes me happy and im certain ill keep coming back for several years

@@joemama-lq9yx Damn, that must've been awesome to have been there. I saw Prince live 3 times (4 if you count the time before anyone knew him that he opened for the Rolling Stones at the L. A. Coliseum) each time he put in a helluva show.

Well said!

Amen, totally agree! Absolutely genius

The man was a pro on something like 19 different instruments. He was a true artist. Dave Grohl was asked what it was like meeting Prince, knowing that Prince was a better guitar player than him. Grohl responded (and I paraphrase), "better guitar player?! Are you kidding me? He is a better drummer than I am and THAT"S MY INSTRUMENT!"

It’s ok being late to his party / glad you got there!! 💜💜💜

I wish you were MY guitar teacher and would teach me this CREEP cover by Prince! I was also slow to realize Prince's guitar talent - although I do have one of his early VHS video tapes. But when I saw him do a guitar solo on TV one time I was flabbergasted - and got a whole new respect for his genius. I have the same vocal range as Prince and wish I still had my band so I could cover some of his songs - like 'Kiss'. I'm not a Radiohead fan BUT I also love the original Creep performed by Radiohead - especially the two guitar shredding parts. This song brings tears to my eyes! Peace, from LuLu Haynes in Chicago

Omg that is quite possibly THE BEST ever!!!!!! Prince is a damn legend!

indeed, wonderful performance, breathtaking guitar

Toto ,is comparable

Here you go: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6SFNW5F8K9Y.html - Prince straight up murdered. Absolutely stole the entire performance. Absolutely mesmerising,

YESSSSS ! I just listened/watched again. Do so at least once a month. Blows me away

I saw him play the entire Purple Rain soundtrack live, sequentially, in a small room at Paisley Park. It was an extremely cold night in February of 2000. That was during the Warner Bros fight, he wasn't able to play those songs fully in public. He was just doing melodies of the PR material then. So this was very unique. He took the stage at around 4am. There were 25 people in a room that couldn't have held 300, 25 including him and the band. The vast majority of the small, invite-only crowd left figuring he wasn't going to show, which wasn't unusual. I have seen him many times, but nothing compares to that morning. I opened a door and looked outside halfway through, looked up at the stars. It was clear to me that, no matter where anyone was at that moment, anywhere in the entire known Universe, there wasn't a single person anywhere in creation that was witnessing anything more spectacular than I was. It was an odd full circle, I had driven by the set of Purple Rain being filmed when I was 10 and just had an odd feeling I would be connected to that somehow. I work at a park now. Not legally allowed to say which park. But it's in Minnesota.

Jacob Dexter Very well said indeed

RIP Prince the one and only

Same can be said of Frank Zappa.

The One and Only Guitar God is David Gilmour. How dare you compare Prince the master of scales. And I'll agree with you, his performance on my guitar gently weeps ... Is impressive. I went and witnessed Prince live on the Purple Rain tour, left after the 3rd song. Jackass was simulating having sex on top of his grand piano. I didn't pay for that shit.

@@MattyExtrordinairIndeed-rp1mk sounds like he left a bad taste in your mouth.

That is a beautiful story and I am glad to read it. I am also a Minneapolis boy. I was traveling often but home that day. He justified our existence on this frozen turd farm. If it was good enough for him, it was good enough for me. It's not the same here anymore.

💛minnesota💜

Sweet story

@Patty Banta 🙌❤💬👏

They do love their karaoke in Japan

I think it's more kind of an ego thing where his persona clashed with having a self-hating monologue and calling himself a creep. I like the song, but I think the song suffers for him to make it about someone who isn't good enough for him...the turnaround is very Prince-ish, but it kind of reminds me of Aretha Franklin saying "I'm Elenor Rigby" instead of just singing the song. I love that he did the song, FWIW.

I agree with you. The song is, after all, about self-loathing. @@Beneluxer

@@DrGerbilLuluMae I think he kills it...I love his take. I just think it says a lot that he couldn't sing the words as they were written. And I totally respect that!! That is why he was Prince!!!

@@Beneluxer It could also be perspective. Considering all of the women pursuing Prince, I’m sure many of them were … creepy. To say the least. Like the David Alan Grier story about Prince. Lots of creepy women out there also. So, it may not have totally been an “ego” thing with Prince. Just a man with a different perspective.

How bout that story of the women in the wall of hotel room reading bible verses. 😂😂​@@Michael-ep7lx

He showed up an hour late (they get fined for every minute the festival goes after midnight) and began his set with "Coachella.....I am here."

At age 15, while in high school, he wrote & played all instruments on a few demos! He shopped them around, but didn't accept any offers because they wouldn't let him produce. Check out his interview w/ Dick Clark during his first time on American Bandstand...Bada** MF!!!

This is not exactly true. The man was a product of a musical family, a public school system with supportive music teachers, and a community center bustling with musical mentors. Of course he was a genius, but he didn't arise out of a vacuum. Andre's mom was musical. He was mentored and included in the studio by Pepe Willie for Minneapolis Genius. I highly recommend the documentary "Mr. Nelson from the Northside" among others.

Prince was a musical God! And gone way too soon😢

he's good but there are a litany of other, better, self taught guitarists

@@SteambieGrimbley9110 guitarists sure. prince was so unique though. he could play every instrument...EVERY one, by like age 17. I give him an A for originality...he was always himself.

Pls no ! Let us enjoy Prince ...its nice that everyone wants to respect Him but He is so Unique it makes everyone look a bit off

+Mario van holle 😀

BEST Description of Our Prince..Everyone else...I mean EVERY OTHER Musician on the planet is DEAD Boring and Prince is MORE ALIVE than EVER

John Rivera purple love always and forever 💜💜💜

Ebony Thornton yes! 100%

I was there and it was epic.

nope... we are lots of people coming back to listen to this

Hell no! I practically listen to this song every single day... visually.. vocally...musically and my might add spiritually a masterclass of a performance, don't get me wrong the original artist version is great also... BUT! Prince takes it into a different realm Radio head shuold be honoured that he covered their song.

Nope...regards from the south of our continent..

A musical genius..gone way to soon, the best to ever pick up a musical instrument.we"ll never see anyone like. him again.

I come here to listen this every so often. Covers are never this good. It chills and thrills. So much emotion from his voice to his guitar. Best cover ever .

That's definitely COOL !!!!!👍💜

If you really believe he never rehearsed this, I have a bridge to sell you.

@@sinatra222 Believe? I dont belive , I know . Maybe you are thinking about his musicians rehersealing Creep..? Sure. Like others 1.000 songs... Prince's band always must do it. Cause they will never know, if one day Prince will like to performance one of them. But he is improvisating not only here, so many times . Band is only repeating the song.

@@juanalcarazperez4229 How do you know? Because he said so?

@@sinatra222 No need.But if you still don't know that Prince is improvisation, it means you haven't seen him play live enough.

I don't think his the best but there's no denying that he was fucking incredible

Love this

Yes

Probably listen to this once every month or so, just for the guitar.

Holy shit.. At first I felt a little iffy bout the scratchy vocal dropouts. Then I really started to dig em. Then the guitar hit, and I started missing the guy all over again :(

For the first time!

Beautiful words for a beautiful man! 💜

Same. Oct 2022.

Yes missing him always. Love your name - 17 days another great one 💜💜

79 million thumbs up 💖Prince💖

He drove me nuts with his restraint. He just never felt the need to go ham I guess, but as a big time Blues nerd I always wanted more

😭😭😭😭😭ABSOLUTELY 💯 ❤️

@@tonyv2373 He always saved his best guitar work for live performance, aftershows, rehearsals, etc. Also, he may have had restraint on most of his hits, but there's a lot of unknown and unreleased songs that he's more free on.

I agree. The guitar in this is otherworldly

By his estate. I could preserve my DNA by licking an ice pop (popsicle in Yank terms) and sticking in the fridge. DNA arse.

@@dominiccrimmings6925 wtf?

Sure Radiohead cried hearing THIS !

Crying as I write this comment 😢☔️🕊️

Sad to have lost this great great man, sooo young.

tears. and more tears

They were hardasses about anyone doing covers of their songs, and would sue them. They gave Prince a pass.@@lemanguier

That is a brilliant and profound reflection, man! Thank you.✨️✨️👍🖖

it really was the worst of times -

+maria I ...oh Radiohead gets props for writing the song...

+Diego Fenton He still is a musical legend.

+Diego Fenton And he didn't just cover it, he added his own style of music to it.

+Rice Machine ... yes sir...

Don't forget Diego and Rice he was the funniest rock star. Amazing generous man.

Me too, every time

Literally made my hair stand up!

Yazzzz!

Oh. My. God!!!

Melted my face

He is a she

Hell of a power trio they were - Cora, Joshua & P. Heard an aftershow from his 21 nights residency in London in 2007, they just killed it!

Whistler4u ...nope...

Vernon Hardapple Nope what? He's got a female drummer here.

CC Dunham is her name....

+Miles Hartl thank you for sharing this....I am at a loss. this hurts deeply, and I don't think I will ever be able to breathe again

+Miles Hartl too gutted to comment any further.......

+Miles Hartl I just wanna enjoy the music of this great artist!

This is a very tough loss words can't describe this one...

+Miles Hartl I hear you brotha... The loss is for everyone on a deep and very personal level. Thank you for making public this colossal unearthly performance. now I go back to silently weep..

If you saw him perform live you wouldn't want to see anyone else ever. I mean he is the benchmark for me. I saw him live just ONCE and it spoiled me. I'm not paying for lip syncing. Oh the memories. Seeing him stand on top of that purple piano with that beautiful white outfit on......ok let me wake up. It was an experience that I will always have with me

+Brian,...I'm with you on that one.

saw him live for the first time only 1 month before he died, got lucky i guess

Brian Knollenberg same here, I wish I would've made a stronger effort to see him live, I guess I thought he'd live and play forever.

damn lucky

in your opinion. In popular opinion, not at all

@@AC-mp7cx go away bro

Nah. He bent that sucker over and had his way with it!

@@leethomas7659 facts why tf come around here with that negative shit get that outta here

Yes he certainly did. He was good at everything.

I am a traditional middle age Spaniard woman. Prince has always mesmerized me too. His talent. There is something diferent in his music.

Yes ma'am

@@farrellcityking1 nothing compares to 🤴🤣🤣

​@@farrellcityking1 That's cause no one wants to be

@@gbh5912 ….sure

The chords of the song sounds similar to Darling Niki. Sure he recognized it, and made it his own.

Agree💯💜

And beautiful on top of that....

He said in an interview that he sometimes didn't give the label his best work. If that is true, I'm going to Paisley Park to get into that vault!

+Ernie Gamboa i understand and i am still still sad.

I don't believe any of us can comprehend what he was to music. He was an instrument, cannot see another on any horizon!! Prince is forever

Prince is God. he will be studied in the next centuries as much as we study Mozart. period

You realize Stevie Wonder is still alive? 🙂

Brilliant Joe. You’ve written my comment for me x

Exactly

🖤💜🖤I completely agree...except for the comment “ Being fu#king Prince “. Maybe when Prince was in his teens or twenty’s he would have sung the lyrics as is, but even then he would make you question the meaning of his songs. He did that even more as he grew older. I think by not saying the word ‘ Creep ‘ he’s leaving it up to the listener to decide whether the “ character “ is or isn’t one. But I have a friend who thinks it’s about confronting the devil. Prince was a very religious person, so I can understand my friend coming to that conclusion. I love the fact that he didn’t do the usual cover and decided to reimagined it. As a result he came up with something truly original and special.🖤💜🖤

+AFTimeLord it's barely a cover... so it's a rip off? he's either playing the song or not dude. and if he is, it's a bad soft rock remoulding that ignores the beauty of the originals lyrics and replaces them with petty snipes at an ex girl or ex friend. to compare this to hendrix's genius reinvention of AATWT is near sacrilege.

+Lee Christian haha you act like the original song was any good

+A54321 it's a fucking classic dude. since i heard it as a Iive version on the b-side to pop is dead ep before it's re-release it was obviously a classic.

+A54321 yeah you lost all credibility .... the song (the original) is played by school bands ..taught in music classes both in schools and outside ... try doing a little research before you go spouting off dumb comments like yours

+shoe2522 oh so mumbling lyrics with a simplistic musical melody in the background is a classic now?? Lol

+Sherri Langlois I don't know why, but your comment of all the lovely comments made me tear up. He truly was and remains special... so very special.

+Purple Yoda Lover You know losing a baby and vanity passing might of caught up to him. IMO I think he really just never got over Boy Gregory. This is a man who lives inside his own heart and when that heart had become broken or fractured he didn't know how to deal with it. It Will catch up to you at one time or another. But with Prince I think it was a little to late unfortunately.

+DARK Vader what both of you guys are saying is so right especially purple yoda lover we all miss him so much

I agree, I think all the hurt from his child hood , loosing his baby was hard o him and he held it in. He was a proud person. Love and R.I.P Prince

By mangling the lyrics?🤔

SvenTviking : I do not want to pry into your medical history, but a comment like the one that appears to have been based on auditory perception that filtered out everything except lyric “mangling” inevitably makes one wonder whether some crucial bit of one of the music critic’s parietal lobes might be absent, perhaps on a congenital basis, or removed surgically, damaged by trauma, or functionally impaired by medication). Unless my sense of the ironic or satiric has been adversely affected by Prince’s passing.

@@edwardbloch6832 He mangled the lyrics. Go listen to the original repeatedly (and over and over and over) and THEN listen to this version. Goofy.

@@blackdawgswamp5583 Mangle or not, Prince could a sang "Old Mc Donald had a farm E, I E, I O" and it would still sound next level if he has time to "perfect & shape" it. Smarty Pants

Oh yes

Are you serious Brandon? I just listened because I read it in a article he did a cover for this song, this dude hardly ever does a cover. But now I will go and listen to the original by Radiohead. Thanks

Got to be kidding.

Nah

Well the guitar’s better than the original. But Prince is among the greats on the guitar.

@@Ali-Bea Creep is not a guitar piece. Is a song. A song that doesn't even need a guitar solo.

I know im a bit late to the party on this reply but .... Although there is no question Prince is a wonderfully talented guitarist, the quote about E.C saying "idk ask Prince" is not true. There have been many versions of guitarists (insert name here) asking other guitarist the same question with a reply of "idk ask (insert name here)" but unfortunately Snopes debunked this quite sometime ago.

@LookingIntoTheAbyss - thanks so much for clearing up my misunderstanding of Snopes. My point was nothing more than there has been so many versions of what E.C has answered after being asked by god knows who "how it feels to be the greatest guitarist" his answer has always been Prince or Duane Allman, Stevie Ray, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Morello, Chuck Berry etc... depending on who is asking/answering the question of ol' Slowhand. If you are into sharing links please send the one of the article quoting Clapton on this, I would love to read it. Thanks and happy holidays! :)

@@ajs4075 I saw it myself hell maybe he retracted that comment and they erased it from the internet but I saw it myself here on RU-vid in an interview I saw him say it

Of course Hendrix broke Clapton..

Apparently he was really good at basketball and making pancakes too!

Magical moment!!!

The voice range this dude had when he adds that grunge yell, wow

WOW - Lucky you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ditto!

J.London You lucky son of a bitch.
