No. They were both in The Yardbirds, but they didn't play in the band at the same time
clapton auditioned...he among others went to play with the rolling stones in auditions, but instead of him, Ronnie wood of the faces got the slot.
Yes.
No, Rod Stewart was not in the Yardbirds. His one-time bandmate (and collaborator on a new album), Jeff Beck, was in the Yardbirds as a guitarist. He replaced Eric Clapton and was later replaced by Jimmy Page.
Once because he were drunk. To prove to the police that he really was Eric, he asked them to give him a guitar. Then he could get out.
No one has covered "Layla" other than "Pickin On" and that doesn't count. Layla is unique and no one has the skills of Eric Clapton and late Duane Allman to pull it off. Best Rock Song Ever.

Yes.
Huh? I thought that was Eric Clapton's song? lol

Bluegrass singer Alison Krauss has recorded one duet with Eric Clapton. It was featured on the Crossing Jordan soundtrack, titled, "Can't Find My Way Home." Eric Clapton plays the guitar for the song, but does not sing.

He did. Not sure which album,I think it is on the Crossroads 4 disc set.
Freddie King did it first in 1960. His didn't do so well.
Jimmy Page was in The Yardbirds, The Firm, Coverdale And Page and Page And Plant. He has toured with the Blacke Crowes. He has also worked with The Who, Donovan, Them, The Kinks and The Rolling Stones. Jimmy Page has also worked with or been a session musician with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, The Who, The Kinks, Van Morrison, Joe Cocker and many more of the greatest musicians that ever were.
yes
I would put them about the same. Clapton, though is the far better musician and is can out play Dylan. I saw Dylan in concert and it was the worse concert I have ever been to. Some of the songs he didn't seem to know. I would love to go to a Clapton concert.
