Great News! "God" is not dead; in fact, he's going on
tour with Roger Waters!
That's right; old man Eric Clapton plays guitar on
Waters' new album "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking",
and he's touring the USA with Waters this summer.
Hearing the great one play David Gilmour's guitar parts
in some of the old Pink Floyd stuff ("Money","Comfortably
Numb") is going to be very interesting.
Lots of people have attacked Clapton recently for being
too laid back, but on this album he plays with as much
RAW EMOTION as anybody I have ever heard. The lead work
on the title cut of this album put a lump in my throat
like I haven't felt since the days of Derek and the Dom-
inoes. Say what you want, but the man can absolutely
blow away the current crop of Metal Morons when it comes
down to what counts: getting the FEELING across.
