    His tone sucks.. his best days are gone.. too predictable.. nothing good in the past 25 years blah blah blah.

    I realize that these are opinions, we are all entitled to them and that opinions are like a$$ho7es, everybody has one.

    I would be quite happy to be as predictable and suck as bad.

    I don't get it, someone enlighten me please.
    Perhaps I aswered my own question.
    It's mostly because they're bored, have nothing better to do and think clapton sucks, I know, it surprises me too I don't know where they got it, maybe they were beaten too many times in childhood by their drunk parents and now they're taking it out on clapton. I do know this, I have nothing better to do and I occaisionally make a pun on pete wentz, but then again he has no bass skills, and I have nothing better to do.

    There are lots of "players" that I could care less for, but as a musician, I'll always give talent it's due respect, whether it's my style or not. I save my true loathing for the one finger power chord hacks that somehow bubbled up on the radio in the late 90's, spouting their "solos are wanking. It's all about the song" mantra to every guitar mag that pandered to them - justification for their complete and utter lack of talent. Thankfully, most of those folks have faded into well deserved oblivion.

    If they play better than me, then they are all good players. So that means there are a lot of good talented guitar players. Music covers a lot of venues. If I don't like it, I do not knock it. What I think is good, some one else may not like it. I don't dislike them for their taste in music. Nor do I dislike a player for what he plays. I just don't listen to that particular style of music. The airwaves are full of different kinds of music. To each their own.
    Guitars:

    Electric: Washburn HB-30, Squier Tele Custom Deluxe, Jay Turser Strat.
    Acoustic: Seagull S6.

    AMPs: VOX AD30VT, Peavey Envoy 110.

    Modelers: V-AMP 2, Digitech RP-100A.

    Pedals: Boss RC-2 Loop Station, Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, Digitech Bad Monkey, Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo, DOD VFX40B 7-Band Graphic EQ, Ibanez CS-5 Super Chorus.
