You right
Eric Clapton ( Hov) pulled jimmy page card in front of an audience

They stole music from black artist

And they only have two classic albums

Eric Clapton always has had a problem with black people who are not submissive.

It was 5 August 1976 and Eric Clapton was drunk, angry and on stage at the Birmingham Odeon. 'Enoch was right,' he told the audience, 'I think we should send them all back.' Britain was, he complained, in danger of becoming 'a black colony' and a vote for controversial Tory politician Enoch Powell whom he described as a prophet was needed to 'keep Britain white'. Although the irony was possibly lost on Clapton, the Odeon in Birmingham is on New Street, minutes from the Midland Hotel where eight years earlier Powell had made his infamous 'Rivers of Blood' speech. But if the coincidence was curious, the hypocrisy was breathtaking: Clapton's career was based on appropriating black music, and he had recently had a hit with Bob Marley's 'I Shot the Sheriff'.

In usual circumstances his comments would have been merely ill advised, but it was the social and political context which made Clapton's intervention so chilling. The National Front had won 40 per cent of the votes in the spring elections in Blackburn. One month earlier an Asian teenager, Gurdip Singh Chaggar, had been murdered by a gang of white youths in Southall. 'One down - a million to go' was the response to the killing from John Kingsley Read of the National Front. Sid Vicious and Siouxsie Sioux were sporting swastikas as fashion statements. David Bowie, who three months earlier had been photographed apparently giving a Nazi salute in Victoria Station, told Cameron Crowe in the September 1976 edition of Playboy '... yes I believe very strongly in fascism. The only way we can speed up the sort of liberalism that's hanging foul in the air... is a right-wing totally dictatorial tyranny...' In that same interview Bowie claimed that 'Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars.' This was Britain then in the sweltering summer of 1976, and in that context Clapton's comments were potentially incendiary.

Red Saunders was a rock photographer and political activist who had been inspired and radicalised by the events of 1968. When he heard Clapton's comments he felt compelled to register his opposition. 'I was outraged,' Saunders tells me. 'I was a fan of the blues and had seen Clapton playing in the Sixties at the Marquee Club, I couldn't believe he could now be saying what he was.' Saunders decided to pen a letter of protest to the music press. In the letter, published in the NME, Melody Maker, Sounds and the Socialist Worker, Saunders and other signatories including his friend Roger Huddle wrote: 'Come on Eric... Own up. Half your music is black. You're rock music's biggest colonist... We want to organise a rank and file movement against the racist poison music... we urge support for Rock against Racism. P.S. Who shot the Sheriff, Eric? It sure as hell wasn't you!' The letter urged those readers wanting to join Rock Against Racism to write to them. Within a fortnight there were more than 600 replies. Three months later, in November 1976, Rock Against Racism held its first ever gig, featuring Carol Grimes, in the Princess Alice pub in east London. 'We had friends who were dockers who had become anti-racist after the Powell speech,' Roger Huddle recalls, 'and they provided the security for the gig because the NF were really active in the area.'

At least Jimmy Page,if he was a punk, he kept his racist views in silence when he was high. The twisted logic of Eric is, "ahh everybody's invading" at the same time you have a career because of "The foreigners" You hopped on that reggae bandwagon for one Bob Marley cover, looks like the foreigners helped broaden your appeal with the record buying public. How many Robert Johnson covers can you goddamn do? Why don't you just do the whole goddamn catalog and get it over with.

Lol at two, I-IV are classic, HOTH and Physical graffiti are all classics.

And I don't get this stealing shyt, just cause cacs were inspired by us doesn't mean that they stole from them. That's like saying Nas stole from Rakim, or anyone that inspired him. They pushed the genre forwards. Some stole, others didn't.

John Lennon I think or Paul McCartney once said that the British were inspired by/took inventions from African Americans and American cacs took it from British cats. They started off covering AA artists before they started making their own shyt.

Id rather listen to the O'jays and certain blues artists...just get it from the source

 

[Wiles]

This thread is #facts the Zep goes hard

I'll consider your opinion if you can point to why you would rather listen to


than



instead of enjoying both, that are completely different.
Do you also say, no thanks to Pac and Nas cause you would rather listen to the original like LL cool j and Run Dmc?

It's like saying I'd rather have a mozzarella, basil, tomato pizza than one with salsiccia too. Just cause the original didn't have meat, matter of fact i'd rather just have bread with olive oil and cheese cause that's the original original, or why not just bread with nothing, that's the original original original.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Let's not cosign Eric Cacton in here. Racist punk and coward. Unfit parent.

No one says you cant listen to both


70s Soul and 70s rock are made for entirely different settings.

Soul is about unity, and love... Sometimes you get like a dozen singers on a single track, including the background singers who compliment chorus harmonies

Rock is all about about being on your own and handling disappointment. No extra shyt
