Eric Clapton always wanted to come out onstage with a stuffed parrot on his shoulder.

Eric Clapton is my dream guitarist.

And Roger was crazy with his robots and everything.

I've heard the stories. Like, Eric Clapton said he wanted to burn his guitar when he heard Jimi Hendrix play. I never understood that because, when I went and saw a great drummer or heard one, all I wanted to do was practice.

I decided early on that I wanted to be Michael Bloomfield, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton - not George Harrison.

I love Eric Clapton.
