That vid may as well be entitled “Spud-faced curmudgeonly septuagenarian and troupe of dullard bandmates produce hours of vacuous, irrelevant, soporific and meaningless dross.”
I can’t watch, listen to or even be aware of the existence of this shite for precisely the same reason re. my comments on the Guitarist mag thread.

A better example would be Crossroads - what Clapton did with crossroads 40 years ago (or whenever) is undoubtably an influence on what White has produced there.
He used to be known as slowhand right? Should have been known as secondhand... his biggest hits were just loud guitar based covers of really quite beautiful songs, Cocaine, I shot the sherif, knocking on heavens door... Even Back in the day, if it was down to him cream would have been playing hour long versions of the Robert Johnson classic!... And he covered them without really improving the originals!.
He even borrowed Hendricks hair in ‘67 forcryinoutloud!...
When he did write his own stuff it was all love sick tripe about a woman he got secondhand from his mate!...
And on the subject of Layla, Duane Allman played all the good bits
@Bridgehouse - Just telling it like it is.

Unlike most famous guitarists he has written lots of successful songs, which is an even rarer achievement
In the mid 60s he was tearing it up like nobody else. There were a few Americans on the same wavelength arriving at a similar place with the same influences, but even people like Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop were not in Clapton's league.
A bit like EVH in 1978, it took the whole world a couple of years to catch up with him.
If you don't like what he does or just hate that style, fine, but to dismiss him as crap says more about your own ignorance than it does about him.
