This is a really good one!
At the time of 1974, I truly assumed that Clempson would join in place of Taylor.
– What about the double guitar situation? Steve wasn’t only a singer but a guitarist as well.Clempson- That’s right, but at that stage he’d only really been a rhythm guitarist,
and that had been a bit of a problem with Steve before, because he always felt that Peter [Frampton] was the lead guitarist
and that he was encroaching on Peter’s territory if he played anything other than rhythm guitar.
So I was happy for Steve to develop his playing and I tried to encourage him to.
And I was happy to learn something about playing rhythm, because that was an area that I didn’t understand much about
– you know, the big, heavy, powerful chords that people like Steve and Pete Townshend, and Keith Richards did and got such a fantastic sound –
and I learnt from Steve about that. I’d always been just as fascinated about rhythm guitar playing as by lead.
