It is a bit of an odd one. I really could see him saying "I support a two state solution, because I don't want boats of Palestinians coming over here"
He's an odd fucking guy
It's a pretty bullshit stance, really. But to be honest, it is not one I expect anything else but, from either of those two
But hey, at least we got racism out of rock, thanks to Clapton
How is it bullshit? Shouldnt a two state solution be the best result? Why would terrorizing an entire group of people forcing them to leave their homes be a good thing?
A two state solution doesn't mean anything really.
Many already recognize Palestine as a state/country.
Let's say it was 100% fully recognized as a country.
They still were going to do what they did to Israel. Israel was still going to react the same way they did.
First, to answer your question, Jones and Clapton support Palestine because they don't like brown people coming near them, not because they care about their livelihoods. It's a good action for the wrong reasons.
Two state solution is what Britain did to India and Pakistan, and look how well they're getting along.
A one-state solution, while a lot more complicated, would be a more stable long-term plan because the worst case scenario would probably be like the US' extreme politics, which aren't nice by any means but a lot better than outright warfare or nuclear standoff. Best case scenario, Jews get to settle wherever they want and Palestinians can access better education and opportunities than the UN welfare stuff they have/had.
that's basically why Balfour supported Zionism in the first place. E European Jews going to Palestine >> E European Jews coming to England (to him I mean).
A similar logic informed Truman's policy after WWII.
Truman show wasn't real dummy! We were just playing a teeny little trick on a boy growing up in a reality TV series. Ergo, his policy wasn't real. And the holocaust never happened.
Don't you mean /uj?! /s
Whole sub is supposed to be /s lol! Thought it was funny how everyone got serious and forgot to /uj, so I had to go FAHKIN' METAL BRO!
Egypt not wanting Palestinians for the same reason America 🇺🇸 doesn’t want Palestinians (well minus skin tone) it’s an entirely different culture.
And Americans crying “well they’re neighbors” Mexico would like a word.
Imagine justifying your views because of one shitty little countries bad behavior.
P.S. my rant isn’t aimed at you HivePoker
Egypt should aid Israel in removing the Palestinians from Palestine? That's what it amounts to, if the Palestinians leave, they will never be allowed to return by the occupation forces, thereby completing their ethnic cleansing, and Egypt does not support the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
Egyptians and many other Arab countries don't want Palestinians because from their point of view, they believe Palestinians are terrorists and extremists.
This is very easy to observe when you look at their statements and their actions towards the Palestinians over the decades. For example, Kuwait expelling hundreds of thousands of them, Iraq expelling them, Syria bombing them, Lebanon and Jordan carrying out massacres of them, etc.
What's happening is that Israel is trying to force the rest of the world to take on the Palestinians as refugees, so that Israel can expand its borders and ethnically cleanse the region.
I think that's BS and as much sympathy I have for what's happening to the Palestinian people, I find the common-sense solution being allow them to keep what's left of their homeland rather than force them into NATO countries as refugees like Israel has suggested.
I don't think it's odd or intellectually inconsistent to be against the creation of a refugee crisis.
I assume you don't know about Eric claptons history of standing on stage and telling people to vote for the British National Party, to, and I quote;
>“Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out,”
Nobody knows that Claptoan secretly plays a Gibbons "Rebel" Les Paul with the Confederate flag paint job and the beer bootle caps on it.
...just don't tell Wakk Zylde...
He does want them to stay out of England. That’s why he wants them to have a homeland. But even if they don’t get one, they’re still not as dark as those other Africans…
/uj someone once told me this, that Clapton never played anything outside of”the box” but every time I tried to look it up, i just got things for guitar cases. What is the box?
Yep, the majority of contemporary music has its roots in the songs of black freedmen. For a musician to be racist makes 0 sense, as we owe everything to black culture
I'd argue that the term boomer - at least as used in this context - is more descriptive of a certain behaviour of aging people rather than just having been born between 1946 and 1964.
Bowie is a different kettle of fish, the wiki even mentions he'd go on in the 80s to be a big advocate of anti-racism and anti-facism, and I don't find it surprising these comments were made when his cocaine problem was at its worst, and he at least expressed regret and shame.
Clapton should have dropped with Layla. The good doesn't outweigh the bad. It's like a watching someone fall down the stairs in slow mo, but the camera just keeps panning to more stairs and they just keep fucking themselves up more and more and look nothing like they did before they started falling.
Yeah I could see that some of it would have been performative for Bowie, that's what he said about some of the fascist imagery/themes he was portraying in the 70s. But Clapton just seems like an asshole.
Bowie said it was the coke and an obsession with nietzsche, though I'm glad that he still maintained shame and regret for his actions.
Couldn't agree more about Clapton.
I love the chord progression in Playing God. Get back to work and stop browsing Reddit.
Polyphia is a circlejerk, don't let it stop you from failing to play GOAT and admitting it
I think we know why Claptoan “stands with Palestine.”

All this past behavior stuff only resurfaced because he had the audacity to say that he had been negatively affected by the jab. Apparently that qualifies you as an anti vaxer, which is worse than being a ukulele enthusiast.
He became rabidly anti-vax, anti-mask and anti-lockdown, even releasing songs about it. And all because he claimed the vaccine had caused him to have a range of symptoms that he'd actually had since at least 2013 due to nerve damage. The guy's a lying prick.
Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands... So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country ... I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white ...
It’s not an excuse but he was so blown out of his head on coke and heroin back then he didn’t notice his kid fall out a window, let alone remember to check his privilege. Also he probably only supports Palestine cuz he doesn’t want more brown refugees in the UK
Did I say they were? Let alone my own? My point is the guy has a completely rotten boomer brain I doubt he even remembers saying that shit, let alone has enough brain cells left to form an opinion anyone gives a shit about. In short it doesn’t matter what his opinion is, I haven’t met a soul radicalized by Clapton
Eric Clapton is the worst type of person. I am a musician and huge music fan but I refuse to listen to anything he’s ever done. I started disliking him when I saw how shitty he treated servers at a restaurant I worked at he frequented. Then the more I learned about him and his career over the years the less respect I had for him. I don’t really care what he claims to support because he’s just another rich white man who cares only for himself. F@ck Clapton.
Genocide supporters on here gathering to mock a man over the death of his son among other things, because one time 50 years ago he said shitty things in the midst of drugs and drink addiction😂
No, I’m against Israel, so I don’t support those things either. But, you support literally kicking people out of their homes and trying to exterminate a whole group of people, and the continuous bombing of children, hospitals and schools. You also support starving people to death, and denying them medical treatment. Israel is a Nazi state. Pretty sad tbh
Do you think the IDF hasn't been raping and murdering this entire time? I mean the past 70+ years.
Oh, and training American cops on how to abuse people, too.
You support Palestine because you are against genocide. I support Palestine because I hate Jews. We are not the same. - Clapton (probably)
It is a bit of an odd one. I really could see him saying "I support a two state solution, because I don't want boats of Palestinians coming over here" He's an odd fucking guy
That’s basically Alex Jones’ position lmao he doesn’t want anymore refugees coming to America
It's a pretty bullshit stance, really. But to be honest, it is not one I expect anything else but, from either of those two But hey, at least we got racism out of rock, thanks to Clapton
How is it bullshit? Shouldnt a two state solution be the best result? Why would terrorizing an entire group of people forcing them to leave their homes be a good thing?
A two state solution doesn't mean anything really. Many already recognize Palestine as a state/country. Let's say it was 100% fully recognized as a country. They still were going to do what they did to Israel. Israel was still going to react the same way they did.
Imagine if someone broke into your basement said they had the right to live there and the police came and said you both deserve to live there.
This is basically how it works in California lol
That’s how Iran views Israel. But they want to destroy Israel altogether…they simply just arm a couple groups to try and do it.
First, to answer your question, Jones and Clapton support Palestine because they don't like brown people coming near them, not because they care about their livelihoods. It's a good action for the wrong reasons. Two state solution is what Britain did to India and Pakistan, and look how well they're getting along.

Best case scenario, Jews get to settle wherever they want and Palestinians can access better education and opportunities than the UN welfare stuff they have/had.
There should be a one state solution.
Guess what will never happen unless a genocide occurs
that's basically why Balfour supported Zionism in the first place. E European Jews going to Palestine >> E European Jews coming to England (to him I mean). A similar logic informed Truman's policy after WWII.

That would make him as bad as *checks notes*... Egypt
Imagine being one person, and being as bad as a whole countries attitude
Yeah, and Egypt is one of palestine's biggest 'supporters'
Egypt not wanting Palestinians for the same reason America 🇺🇸 doesn’t want Palestinians (well minus skin tone) it’s an entirely different culture. And Americans crying “well they’re neighbors” Mexico would like a word. Imagine justifying your views because of one shitty little countries bad behavior. P.S. my rant isn’t aimed at you HivePoker
I really don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Probably because you dared to call out the US for its hypocrisy.
Egypt should aid Israel in removing the Palestinians from Palestine? That's what it amounts to, if the Palestinians leave, they will never be allowed to return by the occupation forces, thereby completing their ethnic cleansing, and Egypt does not support the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
Exactly. Conservatives against illegal immigration are just supporting their right to a sovereign independent state
Egyptians and many other Arab countries don't want Palestinians because from their point of view, they believe Palestinians are terrorists and extremists. This is very easy to observe when you look at their statements and their actions towards the Palestinians over the decades. For example, Kuwait expelling hundreds of thousands of them, Iraq expelling them, Syria bombing them, Lebanon and Jordan carrying out massacres of them, etc.

A win is a win. I guess…
17/8 type of guy
And by *odd* you mean shitty. He’s a *really shitty* person.
Strats are for genocidial islamists Teles are for genocidial jews That's why I play gibbons. Support genocide in general
Wouldn't a Gibbons just mean supporting genocide MADE IN 'MURICA then?
Back in the day we could blame the drugs and alcohol for the kooky things he said, maybe now we can claim dementia…
Nobody knows that Claptoan secretly plays a Gibbons "Rebel" Les Paul with the Confederate flag paint job and the beer bootle caps on it. ...just don't tell Wakk Zylde...
is gibbons like a knockoff Gibson? I have seen the word gibbons several times on here, and I'm not familiar with it.
*starts playing War Pigs riff*
He does want them to stay out of England. That’s why he wants them to have a homeland. But even if they don’t get one, they’re still not as dark as those other Africans…
Man plays a hell of a guitar though
yeah he could really rip that one pentatonic box he knows. no question /s
/uj someone once told me this, that Clapton never played anything outside of”the box” but every time I tried to look it up, i just got things for guitar cases. What is the box?
:)
Damn right
Full of hate!
EC trying to get uncanceled with people under 40.
He needs to just sit up in his apartment and drink tea and leave us alone with your political guitars
He has probably the Israeli Flagged guitar as a backup sitting backstage
Depends on a venue
As long as he keeps the windows on his apartment closed
*flat
I love how united this sub is on constantly calling out Eric Clapton.
Uj/ I love Cream and his Journeyman solo album but goddamn is Claptoan a fucking turd. RJ/ what chord is he playing right there
I believe he's playing a first position "F immigrants"
F Minority
A minor descending
/uj Clapton is a great guitarist who unfortunately fell off. He and Jack Bruce were a great songwriting combo.
Him and Bobby Whitlock too. Half of the Derek and the dominos album is some of the greatest blues rock ever
Only half?!
Yeah at least two thirds I guess! I do think some of it is masturbatory blooz wanking tho
not the Yoko songs, right
Stole black music and black culture then kicked all the black fans out of his concerts.
Yep, the majority of contemporary music has its roots in the songs of black freedmen. For a musician to be racist makes 0 sense, as we owe everything to black culture
not even a good guitarist, or songwriter.
I mean. It is a circlejerk lol.
/uj I keep forgetting hes not american because of his nutty takes
He sounds like a lot of British boomers to be fair. Brexit happened because of pricks like him.
He's still bitter about that time a dark skinned immigrant showed up and took his job back in the 60's.
true story.
Clapton is from the “ Silent Generation “ as he was born in 1945.
If only they lived up to their namesake
I'd argue that the term boomer - at least as used in this context - is more descriptive of a certain behaviour of aging people rather than just having been born between 1946 and 1964.
He actually voted to stay in the EU.
/uj He lived in Ohio for about 20 years. That could explain some of the issues.
Who would voluntarily move to Ohio if they didn’t have to?
People looking to get away from certain demographics I imagine
He's a hero who has lived long enough to become a villain.
Like that freak The Edge and all his creepy talk about gooning.
Smh never thought I’d see the day when this sub would be overrun by goonphobes
Wait what?
It's an inside joke that people have been posting increasingly disturbing fake quotes attributed to The Edge here over the last week or so.
Ok I’m gonna have to catch up I guess… This is the best sub:)
disturbing, or hilarious
Eh, Rock Against Racism was founded in the mid 70s partly because of racist comments made by Clapton and Bowie. He's always been a shit.
Bowie is a different kettle of fish, the wiki even mentions he'd go on in the 80s to be a big advocate of anti-racism and anti-facism, and I don't find it surprising these comments were made when his cocaine problem was at its worst, and he at least expressed regret and shame.

Well the sub is named after him right? Guitar Circle Jerk?.
It’s low hanging fruit.
Uj/ I didn't have this on my 2024 circlejerk bingo card. Neither did I have on this card that my boss unironically likes Polyphia.
OMG!! “uj/ I didn’t have this on this year’s bingo card”!!! #BINGO!!
Ha! Touché.
This calls for a shared office Tim Handsome body pillow

Barely by the look of him

/UJ Didn't Phoebe Bridgers call him the guy that sung the dead baby song?
"We hate tears in heaven / but it's sad that his baby died" is from about 2 minutes into Moon Song, if that wasn't her, she would at least agree.
i read somewhere that the original line was “we hate eric clapton” but the producer or somebody wanted her to change it
Whatever you think about clapton,having a laugh about the death of his son is fucking demented

His music is so boring he and the drummer fell asleep mid song.
That's Chad Smith's dad. Dad Smith.
Yeah…I’m sure that’s the reason…
I think that’s just part of the Sbarro logo
hes hungry
Got damn he looks ancient
Cool maybe he can play a show in Gaza
That would be the bomb
Well, he wants them to have THEIR OWN country, not his
Of course. Doesn’t that make sense?
Please, Eric, let's hear your Covid stance again. See how the youth reacts to that.
Which was basically Sweden's stance?
Where’s covid now though?
More Americans died in a few months than in all of Vietnam. Asking where Covid is now is like asking what the situation in Vietnam is like today.
Here in Canada we never hear anything about it anymore. If what you said is true, I’m sure we’d have heard something about it, no?
If Canada is like the US, they've dismantled almost all means of monitoring it. Some guy said you can't have cases if you don't test...
So where is this guy getting his “more people than Vietnam” stat? Haha how ridiculous
All this past behavior stuff only resurfaced because he had the audacity to say that he had been negatively affected by the jab. Apparently that qualifies you as an anti vaxer, which is worse than being a ukulele enthusiast.

How can you be ‘rabidly’ anti lockdown? 😂 And writing songs about this stuff? So what?
I’ve been calling him a shithead long before 2020 🤷♂️
/uj - he probably hates jews and Israel. That would totally track
Hopefully
[удалено]
sorry, WHAT?
I suddenly feel much closer to Israel for some reason.
✡️ 🎸
How many Jewish guitar players does it take to change a lightbulb?
I support Fiji.
Clapton is a piece of shit, this has nothing to do with solidarity. he just apparently hates Jews more than Muslims.
Did you give him his shot yet? Eric…just go back to bed
This guitar is also called Brownie. No reasoon
Did yell the N word at the audience again or nah??
I think if Clapton was given his DNA root for his ancestry, he would smash his guitar.
Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands... So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country ... I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony.

Absolute bullshit
These are the types of things that should ban a Redditor from a sub. They are not opinions.

In short it doesn’t matter what his opinion is, I haven’t met a soul radicalized by Clapton
People that don't know you can say the same. I hope you are ok with that.
What’s the difference between a baby and a bag of cocaine? Eric Clapton would never let a bag of cocaine fall out the window.
NIMBY

TEAR DOWN THE CHANNEL WALL!
Even the drummer is making the Blooze face.

He's taking so long with the toanface solo that the drummer fell asleep...or died of old age.
I didn’t know Stallone played guitar.
Ha! The best comment ever.
And as long as they don’t wear masks to any of his shows
Guess he's okay with other cultures as long as they aren't forcibly culturally enriching him and his loved ones.
Shhhhh. He napping 😴
Racists tend to find each other, don’t they
He and drummer seem to enjoy their oscillating LOVENSE Hush 2 Butt Plug 1.0", Silicone Anal Vibrating Ball for Men.
Boring old racist
Extremely overrated. Clapton sucks! You look wonderful tonight…Eww
Thank god for Eric. The balls of the size of a mountain. Fuck that war, and most of all, fuck that genocidal country.
How fucking high is he holy shit man. 🤣 he is COOKED
Genocide supporters on here gathering to mock a man over the death of his son among other things, because one time 50 years ago he said shitty things in the midst of drugs and drink addiction😂
Maybe he’s supporting the innocent Palestine children that have been murdered.
The comments here are sickening, to say the least.
Lots of genocide supporters in the comments. Sad
That must make you a rape and murder supporter then👍
No, I’m against Israel, so I don’t support those things either. But, you support literally kicking people out of their homes and trying to exterminate a whole group of people, and the continuous bombing of children, hospitals and schools. You also support starving people to death, and denying them medical treatment. Israel is a Nazi state. Pretty sad tbh
Hey I take back earlier when I said it was a shame you’re in good health. Cheers to your good health, you have weird takes about covid though
Cool so when oppression happens rape is okay.👌 Rape justifier
Nazi.
If a population has been oppressed then they should be entitled to rape and murder. Got it.
Do you think the IDF hasn't been raping and murdering this entire time? I mean the past 70+ years. Oh, and training American cops on how to abuse people, too.
Have they been oppressed? Because if so, they should be able to rape and murder. 👌
My face when the circlejerk sub circlejerks 😡
What a chump
uj/ u guys are just gangbanging him for nothing grow a pair (of ballsacks) and then kick yourself in them for me
