Short and sweet I think i read it in a recent classic rock. Yeah, it's one of my favourite songs. Probably clapton's best work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Of course it was called Badge because one of them (can't remember if it was Clapton or Harrison) wrote down "Bridge" on a piece of paper and the other mis-read it as Badge and said "Oh that's a goo title.

Alan Cynic Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I know his stuff has been patchy with the early 70s stuff prob the best (Ram and Band on The Run) but his last two albums have been really good (interesting and fresh). He suffers through his lack of quality control rather than ability coupled with his range of output (kids pap to Classical to ambient and all points inbetween). Live he is outstanding, really great show and it really shows his quality.I think he gets a really raw deal IHMO..I liked the second-last one too. I'm hoping with all the turmoil in his personal life over recent years he'll come up with his solo masterpiece soon.I saw him at the Capitol with Wings (mid 70s), although the only bit I recall with any clarity was him doing 'Blackbird'.I did a cover of 'What's the new Mary Jane' for a German Beatles tribute (suppose this makes me a 'Tribute' Band...erk!!!!), but the record only got as far as test-pressings (of which I have one).

And no I don't think that makes you a Tribute Band that would mean The Beatles were an Isley Brothers tribute band for Twist and Shout ha ha. Plus it's not exactly predicable...And I hope there is a masterpiece around the corner too. His best solo work is when in turmoil e.g. Band On The Run and post Mills. Contented Macca = going through the motions with the occasional classic dropped in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
