Sorry,there is no translation in English.
but for our Dutch Stones fans or people that can understand dutch...
I share his thoughts about Clapton & N Young by the way.
Didn't see this clip before though..

I think it's a fragment from a Dutch TV special about Gibson Les Paul.
I remember seeing it on TV about 1993 or 1994.

His remark about Neil Young is brilliant: "He must take care his fingers do not get stuck
between the strings"
And later: "He bought a complete Les Paul for that!" and "That man must have suffered as a child".

On Clapton:"He made the blues popular in the west",that's the good thing about Eric,but as a bluesguitarplayer he is far from the best"
Keith reminds him of Paul Kossoff (the Free)&Joe Walsh.

Jan is great, one of the best guitarists who has just stuck at it - like John Mclaughlin. Jan sold some of his guitars in 2005 - including his esd 1275 double neck. I get a lousy rate to the Euro now, so thank goodness it was 3 years ago.

Haha I like him.. he has a big mouth but that's ok. He has the right to. He doesn't recognize Keith though!

At the end he says there's different kinds of good.. but the best good is Reinhardt and Montgomery.. I can't help but agree!

I think Akkerman is just an arrogant guy, I always have had that feeling and the way he disrespects Neil Young and Clapton proofs it once again.
What he has to say about Clapton is so very minimal, so not true to the facts, and also he says BB King introduced certain things in guitarplaying that already were introduced by others so he's bullshitting.
