“I found a pattern in my behavior that had been repeating itself for years, decades even. Bad choices were my specialty, and if something honest and decent came along, I would shun it or run the other way.”
With striking intimacy and candor, Eric Clapton tells the story of his eventful and inspiring life in this poignant and honest autobiography. More than a rock star, he is an icon, a living embodiment of the history of rock music. Well known for his reserve in a profession marked by self-promotion, flamboyance, and spin, he now chronicles, for the first time, his remarkable personal and professional journeys.
Born illegitimate in 1945 and raised by his grandparents, Eric never knew his father and, until the age of nine, believed his actual mother to be his sister. In his early teens his solace was the guitar, and his incredible talent would make him a cult hero in the clubs of Britain and inspire devoted fans to scrawl “Clapton is God” on the walls of London’s Underground. With the formation of Cream, the world's first supergroup, he became a worldwide superstar, but conflicting personalities tore the band apart within two years. His stints in Blind Faith, in Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, and in Derek and the Dominos were also short-lived but yielded some of the most enduring songs in history, including the classic “Layla.”
During the late sixties he played as a guest with Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan, as well as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and longtime friend George Harrison. It was while working with the latter that he fell for George’s wife, Pattie Boyd, a seemingly unrequited love that led him to the depths of despair, self-imposed seclusion, and drug addiction. By the early seventies he had overcome his addiction and released the bestselling album 461 Ocean Boulevard , with its massive hit “I Shot the Sheriff.” He followed that with the platinum album Slowhand , which included “Wonderful Tonight,” the touching love song to Pattie, whom he finally married at the end of 1979. A short time later, however, Eric had replaced heroin with alcohol as his preferred vice, following a pattern of behavior that not only was detrimental to his music but contributed to the eventual breakup of his marriage.
In the eighties he would battle and begin his recovery from alcoholism and become a father. But just as his life was coming together, he was struck by a terrible blow: His beloved four-year-old son, Conor, died in a freak accident. At an earlier time Eric might have coped with this tragedy by fleeing into a world of addiction. But now a much stronger man, he took refuge in music, responding with the achingly beautiful “Tears in Heaven.”
Clapton is the powerfully written story of a survivor, a man who has achieved the pinnacle of success despite extraordinary demons. It is one of the most compelling memoirs of our time.
埃裏剋•剋萊普頓:
有史以來最偉大的吉他手之一,人稱吉他上帝;傳奇的布魯斯音樂大師,《蕾拉》、《淚灑天堂》等都是廣為流傳的傑作;他嘗試過多種音樂風格,布魯斯、迷幻搖滾、雷鬼樂、每一種都獲得瞭巨大成功;他獲得過19項格萊美奬,3次入主搖滾名人堂。
剋萊普頓是第二次世界大戰時一個加拿大士兵的私生子,幼年失怙,命途多舛。他一度沉迷於毒品和酒精,感情生活長期混亂,其間還經曆瞭很多好朋友的死;50歲育得一子,卻在四歲時夭摺。
現在的剋萊普頓住在倫敦郊外,享受著天倫之樂。另外由於追悔自己的吸毒和酗酒經曆,他建立瞭吸毒酗酒者的救助機構“十字路口中心”,並為這件事忙得不亦樂乎。
前两天看完了陈震老师译的埃里克·克莱普顿的自传《天堂十字路口》,总觉得要说点什么。我自认为还不够格来评论一部如此激动人心的摇滚巨作,因为我听摇滚乐的时间很短,对摇滚乐的认识也还很浅,所以这篇文章不能称为书评,只能算是一点琐碎感受吧。 一直以来,阅读外文作品时...
評分原文刊于《新京报》 我从来不是Eric Clapton的歌迷,尽管他从60年代起便被尊为了“吉他上帝”,至今已经三次入主摇滚名人堂、收获了十九座格莱美奖杯,在任何一个吉他英雄榜上都名列前茅,但我依然只把他看做杰出的吉他匠人而非具备超凡创造力的艺术家。加在Cream(Clapton为...
評分要有这样一种鲜活的生命--既不是菜市场鲜活蹦跳等死的鱼类,也不是舞台上哗众取宠贴满标签的人类。它总是光着身子,就这么光着,像刚出生的婴儿一般,勇敢,无畏,不顾一切。 它走在街上,所遇所见的都对它不停的摇头。它知道摇头对它来讲就是最强烈的攻击,是杀人不见血的武...
評分吉他之神的记忆、噩梦以及所有 ——关于《克莱普顿自传》 编译/Chasez(登于非音乐) 这是摇滚历史上最具神秘色彩的感情纠葛。60年代末艾里克•克莱普顿爱上了挚友乔治•哈里森的...
評分我对克莱普顿的音乐,实在不怎么感兴趣,不插电是不错,泪洒天堂也着实在播放设备里循环了小半年,但其余大多数作品则听不出味道。 首先我不是一个纯正布鲁斯迷,而是一个摇滚乐爱好者。其次即使是摇滚乐范畴(不管真的假的,反正自打六十年代后一切流行音乐都有了摇滚血缘)...
