By the way, in Plastic Ono Band Eric remained downstage. But it is also true that the band didn`t last long...

I don't think "Clapper" did much stellar playing backing John.  Even on the Dirty Mac's "Yer Blues" Eric's playing is pretty perfunctory.  I've never been much impressed by Live Peace (even beyond Yoko's caterwauling)--John's music wasn't really Eric's.  Don't ya step on my Blue Suede Shoes?  

Quoted from Geoff

Sure, he was "technically proficient:" and that slide guitar style of his is one of the most recognizable sounds of the late 60s and early 70s. George wasn't flashy, but he had style and soul, which to my mind is better.  

if your talking about the slide on for you blue that was john....john usually played the slide on beatle tunes...

POB was just made up of whoever Lennon could cobble together quickly enough. A vehicle for his non-Beatles work in 1969/70, and a name to hide behind.

Quite true; and John's repertoire as a guitar player is more varied than people give it credit for: he played the solo in "Honey Pie" as well, I think.

Were there any other well-known rockers in the POB?
