Didn't notice whether they did, but besides Pete Brown's poetic lyrics, mention should be made of producer Felix Pappalardi, future and amazing bass player of Mountain, who wrote, or co-wrote, a handful or more of the Cream songs and played on a few of them. RIP Jack, Ginger (and Felix and Leslie West).

In terms of musicianship alone Cream are probably the greatest band of all time. Jack Bruce is sometimes overlooked when people talk about great bass players; but many of the great bass players themselves have said how much they admire Jack's ability. Eric Clapton has been at the top of his game right from the beginning, his playing has been admired by fellow musicians right from the early days of the yardbirds and John Mayalls bluesbreakers. Many people say that Clapton was inferior to Jimi Hendrix, but they are wrong. Hendrix was amazing at what he did, but that's all he did. Clapton on the other hand has a much bigger repertoire across multiple genres, in his early days he was fiercely loyal to only playing the blues but when he started playing different genres he once again showed the world his greatness. I love the blues and love what Cream were playing with the mixture of massive heavy blues and psychedelic rock. But after cream and blind faith Eric played with Delanie and Bonnie playing multiple styles and genres which Hendrix never did. Then there was Ginger Baker, by far and away the greatest drummer ever to play the drums. I'm a drummer myself and I also play piano and cello. I promise you that as a musician who knows what he is talking about. John Bonham, Keith Moon, Buddy Rich, Mitch Mitchell none of them come close to Ginger Baker because Ginger Baker understands time, all drummers think they understand time but none do like Ginger Baker does, the reason for the heavy sound of Cream was Gingers knowledge of time and how to create musical arrangements and the way time can change the way a piece of music sounds massively. The two years they were together was enough to show the world musicianship that is still admired 55 years later.

What Jack Bruce said about Hendrix that he thinks the reason he’s not with us is because no one cared about him enough and that no one really cared about them back then either is very sad because things haven’t changed. Artists are still being exploited by management and corporate contracts. And then Ginger starts talking about Felix Pappalardi who was another great musician who also left us too soon (by murder)

I think the thing that sets Eric’s amazing guitar playing apart during the Cream era and which contributed to the magic of the live recording on Wheels of Fire is … look at the guitars he used: Gibsons! The incredible sound out of, for instance, the immortal Crossroads was his use of I believe it’s a Gibson ES 355, a lovingly crafted instrument made by talented artists. Not some bolted together machine. The story is he switched to Strat’s because Hendrix played them. Got an Afro too hoping the mojo would rub off, I suppose. His playing was still great but that thin sound afterwards was never as magical as those days with Cream. Ok, he got older and some of those early Les Paul’s with inimitable old growth wood are heavy, but the price of one built between ‘56 and ‘60 now, if they can even be found, are astronomical. A Fender? Not even close musically.

Nothing like Eric on a Gibson. On the other hand, he went on to define the classic Strat sound as well. Apple and oranges. Love them both. Would have loved to hear him more with the Gibsons. Saw him use the 335 a lot between ‘94-‘97. Saw him do Layla with the LP in Portland in the early 2000s. Wonderful.

@user-gn9mx3mb7k2 ай бұрын
The way I see it, rock music had been pushed to its boundaries by the end of 1968. From 1969 and onwards, there was certainly good music but nothing that could be called as original or ground-breaking. Nothing anyone has ever done since 1969 can be deemed as original, revolutionary or ground-breaking. Even The Beatles' Abbey Road album is derivative of The White Album. The culprits who were responsible for shaping and defining rock music as we know it were The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream and The Who. Led Zeppelin brought nothing new to the table because their music is derivative of what was already done before. Led Zep fans make me laugh when they claim that Led Zep was somehow revolutionary.
