Eric Clapton
Eric Clapton is one of the best classic rock artists in this time. When Eric was young he was really into rock and roll and that is because in 1958 rock and roll exploded in Britain and For Eric's 13th birthday he wanted a guitar. After he got that guitar his life changed; when he was 16 he when to Kingston college of art. When he was there the only thing he did was play the blues on the guitar.In 1963 he was in the band called the yard birds he had little success with the band. But he being only to years with the band he got fed up with the band and left! Later that year Eric Clapton joined The blues band John Mayall & the Blues breakers.In the next year recording they named their album The Blue breakers and Eric Clapton and in this album Eric got the praze of being the greatest guitarist of his age! Even though everything was going good in this band Eric Clapton left and a month later He joined up with jack Bruce and ginger baker to form the band cream. When Eric Clapton was in this band he had a lot more success with his guitar playing stills and that The band had three great albums and they were called Fresh cream, Wheels on fire and Disraeli gears. That this band did a lot of touring in the united states and they got the status of the international Super star. But like all bands that Eric Clapton is in they broke up and they broke up this bands is because everyone egos were getting way to big so Eric left the band.
