Most important, he was a phenomenal player, with a great tone. He was not happy to see me, as it meant rather a sudden end to what had obviously been a good gig for him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"eric-clapton-continued\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eric_Clapton_continued\"><\/span>Eric Clapton continued:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne change that didn\u2019t particularly surprise me was that McVie had finally been given the boot. (He) had been replaced by\u00a0Jack Bruce, the bass player from the Graham Bond Organisation, whom I had seen play at the Marquee,\u201d Eric Clapton said in his autobiography. Peter Green was the guitarist who replaced Eric Clapton when he decided to leave John Mayall &amp; The Bluesbreakers in 1966. It wasn\u2019t an easy task, not only was it difficult to play Eric\u2019s material, but it was also challenging to be accepted by fans who were constantly asking for the former band member during shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curiously, he was the only British guitar player who Clapton believed had the same musical background and love for the Blues. \u201cI only got to know two or three guys that play that style. There was Peter Green, and I can\u2019t think of anyone else who played from the same origin, same root of influence as I did. The other guys mentioned (by the interviewer) like Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were much more from a rockabilly sensibility. There were very few people drawn to Chicago blues and country blues the way I was and Peter Green was. I suppose because we were so rare, there wasn\u2019t a rivalry. It was more of a nurturing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"he-continued\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"He_continued\"><\/span>He continued:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019d be starving, and if you run into another of your kind, it\u2019s something to feed on. The head-cutting thing is an interesting phenomenon. I\u2019ve been involved in it, where I\u2019ve been on stage with lots of players and we try to expand what we usually do, just to make a statement. I never felt it to be anything other than that. Not hostile. I\u2019ve never seen it done with any malice,\u201d Eric Clapton said in an interview with\u00a0Pop Matters\u00a0in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clapton had the chance to play on stage with Fleetwood Mac and Peter Green back in 1970. He joined the band during their show in Boston, USA. A bootleg of this performance, titled \u201cBoston Jam Party\u201c, runs for over 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"when-eric-clapton-went-to-see-fleetwood-mac-opening-for-b-b-king-the-american-guitarist-said-peter-green-was-the-best\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Eric_Clapton_went_to_see_Fleetwood_Mac_opening_for_BB_King_the_American_guitarist_said_Peter_Green_was_the_best\"><\/span>When Eric Clapton went to see Fleetwood Mac opening for B.B. King, the American guitarist said Peter Green was the best<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1960s, fans revered Clapton as a divine force, even creating the famous graffiti in London that read \u201cClapton Is God.\u201d After Green replaced him in the Bluesbreakers, fans began calling him the \u201cGreen God\u201d and claiming that \u201cPeter Green Is Better Than God,\u201d to say he was better than Eric. It turns out that according to\u00a0Martin Celmins, author of \u201cPeter Green: Founder of Fleetwood Mac \u2013 The Biography\u201d, B.B. King at the time said that in his opinion Green was the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That happened when Fleetwood Mac was the opening act for him at the Royal Albert Hall, while Eric and George Harrison were watching the show from a private area. \u201cAt one point B.B. broke a string and put it down to nerves explaining to the audience: \u2018Man, you\u2019d be nervous if you could see who I can see right now.\u2019 He was referring to George Harrison and Eric Clapton sitting in a private box, enjoying the show. But then B.B. declared: \u2018But I\u2019ve got to say that, I\u2019m sorry, Peter Green is the best,\u2019\u201d Martin Celmins said. Of course, B.B. King\u2019s opinion might have changed in the following decades since he became a good friend and admirer of Clapton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"eric-clapton-watched-both-eras-of-fleetwood-mac-live-and-played-with-lindsey-buckingham\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eric_Clapton_watched_both_eras_of_Fleetwood_Mac_live_and_played_with_Lindsey_Buckingham\"><\/span>Eric Clapton watched both eras of Fleetwood Mac live and played with Lindsey Buckingham<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As any Blues musician, Clapton was always more drawn to the first era of Fleetwood Mac. But he also went to see the band\u2019s new line-up with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, having the chance to hang out with them many times. When they were promoting the groundbreaking album \u201cRumors\u201d (1977), he went with Pattie Boyd to see them playing. Mick Fleetwood, who was married to Pattie\u2019s sister, recalled in his biography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe toured Europe in April of that year. Jenny and the children came with me to London where we played at Wembley Stadium, our first gig back home with the new line-up. Jenny\u2019s sister Pattie came along, with her boyfriend Eric Clapton. It was a huge success,\u201d Mick Fleetwood said. Clapton\u2019s marriage to Pattie lasted from 1979 to 1989, while Mick\u2019s marriage to Jenny lasted from 1970 to 1978. So they didn\u2019t have the chance to officially become brothers in law. Mick and John McVie were friends of Eric since they were young musicians in London. But Eric only played with McVie on John Mayall\u2019s band, since the drummer would only join them in 1967.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guitarist and singer Lindsey Buckingham, who along with Stevie Nicks was a key element of Fleetwood Mac\u2019s huge commercial success, said that whenever Clapton used to hang out with them, he said he missed being in a band.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s something a lot of people who have gone solo miss. When Eric Clapton hangs out with Mick or us he\u2019s always saying, \u2018God! I wish I was in a band again.\u2019 That\u2019s because the burden is all on him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"he-continued-2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"He_continued-2\"><\/span>He continued:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just not the same when, as a leader, you\u2019re paying people a certain amount each week to play with you. The balance of power is not the same. It drains you,\u201d Lindsey Buckingham said in an interview with\u00a0BAM\u00a0Magazine in 1981. Four years later he was invited to play on Eric Clapton\u2019s ninth solo studio album \u201cBehind the Sun\u201d. He played rhythm guitar in the song \u201cSomething\u2019s Happening\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"eric-clapton-said-john-mcvie-is-a-brilliant-bassist-and-an-incredibly-funny-man\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eric_Clapton_said_John_McVie_is_a_brilliant_bassist_and_an_incredibly_funny_man\"><\/span>Eric Clapton said John McVie is a brilliant bassist and an incredibly funny man<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of all the members of Fleetwood Mac, the co-founder and bassist John McVie is certainly the most \u201cmysterious\u201d one. He always was more quiet on stage, being overshadowed by all the guitarists and singers the band had. Interestingly, Clapton said in his\u00a0autobiography\u00a0that John was brilliant as a bass guitarist and a really funny person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJohn McVie, who later formed Fleetwood Mac with Mick Fleetwood. Not only was he a brilliant bass guitarist, but he was an incredibly funny man with a very dark, cynical sense of humor. At that time the two Johns and myself were obsessed with the Harold Pinter play The Caretaker. I had seen the film, with Donald Pleasance as the tramp Davies, as many times as I could. I had also bought the script, a lot of which I knew by heart. We would spend hours acting out scenes from the play, swapping roles. So that sometimes I would play the character of Aston, other times Davies or Mick. We would piss ourselves with laughter,\u201d Eric Clapton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, Clapton\u2019s concerts were canceled due to the pandemic, but he still reunited his band and recorded some performances. A series of songs played live were released, including a rendition of \u201cBlack Magic Woman\u201d. That classic was written by Peter Green and released by Fleetwood Mac in 1968, later being covered by\u00a0Santana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9cF4gBGw0Nc\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9cF4gBGw0Nc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the most talented and successful British guitarists of all time, Eric Clapton made his mark on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":20184,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-20183","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-musician"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
