Even though the legendary band, Cream which had Eric Clapton (guitar), Jack Bruce (bass) and Ginger Baker (drums) only lasted for two years… the band’s music was still unforgettable and amazing. Sadly, we learned today that one of their members passed away which is their legendary bass player, Jack Bruce.
Cream was partly responsible for starting the psychedelic movement in rock music back in the late 60’s.
Jack was the one who wrote the main riff to “Sunshine Of Your Love” and it became one of the most important riffs in rock music history.
I love the music of Cream and we just lost one of the greats. Below are two videos of Cream’s reunion show at the Royal Albert Hall.
Jack Bruce former bassist of the 60’s psychedellic hard rock band Cream, defends his nasty comments bashing Led Zeppelin. Jack explains he just did it for fun and humor, says it wasn’t to be taken seriously that he was just messin’ with the media for his own entertainment. Later in the interview, he explains how much he actually loves Led Zeppelin.
Bands bashing other bands for humor is a normal thing. It even happens with local music as well. When I see a local band at a bar, another musician from the audience will yell out, “YOU GUYS FUCKING SUCK”, then everyone will start laughing ’cause they know it’s a sarcastic joke. That’s where Jack Bruce is coming from.
Try to understand that. I understand the humor in this thing totally.
