Eric Clapton has hit out at Coldplay and U2.Clapton has slammed the bands for putting stardom before their music.The 61-year-old rocker told Britain's The Times newspaper: "Right now, the power of music sits with Simon Cowell and Coldplay and U2, who are really people who just attend awards shows."From just listening I can't tell the difference between Coldplay and U2. The one in Coldplay even dances like Bono."Clapton, who is currently touring the UK, is worried that modern musicians are forgetting the roots of rock 'n' roll.Clapton said: "I think what it shows is how incredibly detached all the current stuff is from its roots."What worries me about what's going on now is that people don't know where it's all come from, and I don't suppose they're that interested."0Comments | Be the first to comment!
