Steve Browning Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Surely he could have just sent a message warning her that the CD was a bootleg? We see (and react to) many a loft found Fender without encouraging Fender to sue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I see Robert Cray has cut any ties or links with Clapton after Clapton likened lockdowns etc with slavery. For someone who made a fortune from ripping off black American music, Clapton has an unenviable propensity of looking like he's either thick, nasty, a racist or all 3. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Slow hand is very fast when it comes to money. What a selfish greedy man. He should be ashamed to sue a woman who's certainly in need of money. Instead, he should have helped her the way Bruce Springsteen can do (and I don't like Springsteen's music). It's about time to boycott him. Edited December 17, 2021 by Hellzero Missing word 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know, if you have his musical output until the mid 70s, you pretty well have everything. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr4stringz Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Whether by extension due to an overly litigious legal team or whether directly, Clapton once again showing what a complete tube he is. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 A company I do work for retain a company to send eBay and the like takedown notices for copyright theft. No-one seems to get sued, despite being businesses. Claptin is very capable of being a **** as he gas clesrky demonstrated in the past. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) 5 hours ago, Trueno said: The miserable git. He's nothing if not consistent. In my teens, I was a massive Clapton fan, but in the last couple of decades (at least) I’ve felt he’s needed a slap (more likely several). I know he’s had personal tragedy and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, but to read his autobiography or listen to him speak, you’d never think he’s one of the most famous and successful guitar players ever.

Trueno Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I reached tipping point with Clapton when the singer in my band snook “Wonderful Tonight” onto the set list without consulting anyone. It was the very last straw and I quit. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH73 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) "He also claimed that his reaction to the vaccine almost robbed him of his ability to play guitar, and that lockdowns stopped him from being able to make money from his music. Eric Clapton is one of the wealthiest musicians in the world, with a net worth of around $300 million. " Say no more. Never liked him...

Barking Spiders Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Card carrying bigoted gobshyte, active anti-vaxxer deliberately trying to undermine vaccination messages and all-round unpleasant Cnut like his former Cream bandmate Ginger Baker.

We see (and react to) many a loft found Fender without encouraging Fender to sue. Agreed, but maybe that's exactly what occurred and she chose to ignore? I'd be surprised if the thing went straight to Court. What I don't understand is why she appealed the initial ruling? Guessing a local lawyer smelling a potential fat pay cheque and publicity, rather than giving their client sensible advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read his autobiography. . . . sadly. . . . it's all 3 and a few more to boot. It's a shame because I've been going to Clapton gigs since 1965 and am a fan of (most) of his music!!
