Eric Clapton...Jack Bruce...Ginger Baker...WHOA! Check out White Room, Sunshine of Your Love....anything by Cream. Some of the best music from my childhood ♥️
It's funny that you say it sounds like a fight because that is exactly what these guys did. They fought..It came out in the music..Very aggressive..These were 3 guys with colossal egos, and ideas about how things should be done..In most cases it added to their mystique and their innovative sound, which was, in a word, POWERFUL!...Believe me. I was around back then and there was no one quite like them.
G 333 Well sute ! You do know the Devil is a myth. However it seems to have to bean spread by other bluesmen who could not believe how good he had become in a short time.
This song changed my life. 14 years old learning the bass. Into things like Madness and The Jam...then I heard Jack Bruce on this. Changed my whole musical outlook.
This song is actually worth listening to about 3 times, once to listen to it as a whole, once for the guitar, and once for the bass. It's basically just one long bass solo, but somehow still keeping the 12 bar bass notes going in the background. Not surprised it changed your outlook. I heard this in my mums car aged 9 and I had to have a guitar. It's still possibly my favourite guitar solo 25 years later, even though I can now play the whole thing note for note.
Yeah, one of my favorites along with "White Room" and a short one called "Badge"..Clapton wrote that one with a little assist from George Harrison. And for some reason it always brings a tear to my eye. I once made that comment on another channel & someone else replied it always hits them the same way. Not specifically the lyrics or melody, just an overall feeling.💙
You said it seems like a fight..Bam!..Exactly right!..You nailed it!..Clapton and Bruce were known for battling it out on stage in what could only be called battles...Each of the 3 had very volatile relationships with the others at different times..I believe it gave their union a distinct edginess to their music...Often sounds angry and aggressive, but beautiful at the same time.
Sunshine of your love, this song and white room really got me hooked on Cream. Then i got into Spoonful, Tales of Brave Ulyssess and then all the rest 👍🏼
From this album (Wheels of Fire) try the slow blues song Sitting On Top of the World - these guys draw it out, take it slow in 3/4 time, and it slow rocks very nicely - plus Jack Bruce the bassist sings this one, and he has an unparalleled R&B voice, very impassioned
RIP Ginger Baker. Hey RapRat, nice react! you might like this one, based on a true story: Frank Zappa's "The Illinois Enema Bandit". Check out the live version "w/Intro". It's crazy fun tune with a kickin' Zappa solo, peace out.
It is a remake of a Robert Johnson song. Might want to check out the original sometime. A lot of the English bands remade songs from Robert Johnson, Leadbelly and Son House. Rock came out of the Mississippi Delta.
Yup, early Clapton was best Clapton. He became Old Man Clapton much too early, much too polished and boring for my taste. Early Clapton still had that rawness and aggressiveness to his playing that I love.
@@scottcrosby-art5490 I think the newer stuff is OK and there's a few really good songs but the early stuff really is where Clapton was shining. Young Clapton created the cliches that old Clapton is following
Got to see the Cream Reunion in ‘05 in London.. id already seen Clapton solo twice.. once just him which was awesome (@ MSG) & then at a Blues festival with BB King, Jeff Beck, & various other’s and i Hated that show omg... i can dig blues influence, but straight up blues, ehhh, & he was hardly the best one of that group etc.... that said, i love Cream & most old Clapton bands.. the Yardbirds (with Jimmy Page pre-Zeppelin, Jeff Beck) which is arguably the band with the best guitarists of all time, Mott the Hoople, Derek & The Dominos, Blind Faith, besides his solo career... this is an awesome song & my personal fave is White Room which is now my son’s fave, as it’s featured in Joker which is his fave movie too... great song man 🤟🎸🎸🎸🎸
All I know is 1) this is a cover song of an early 20th-century blues song, 2) Rosedale is a town in Georgia (?) built by freed slaves for freed slaves, and 3)the crossroad is supposedly a place to meet the Devil.
No problem Story of the bluesman, the Devil, and the deal at the crossroads, as retold in Stephen Davis's Hammer of the Gods.. In the delta of the Mississippi River, where Robert Johnson was born, they said that if an aspiring bluesman waited by the side of a deserted country crossroads in the dark of a moonless night, then Satan himself might come and tune his guitar, sealing a pact for the bluesman's ...
When Ginger, and all 3 were youngee,,their song Toad , Ginger did a solo in, he had an odd poly rhythmic kind of thing, kinda African feeling, lotsa people didn't get it.. I feel safe saying John Bonham got it. I got it. I liked it. Nobody talks about Baker much anymore,,shame , if you're a drummer, and you only understand where you came from by one step away from yourself, you're cheating yourself.
@@ltrane81 yeah i felt foolish and sad when I heard from another commenter a few days ago. Thanks. I dunno why Baker isn't a more referenced person in the scheme of things. He was a little brash but, most us musicians are, especially on their level.
Masterofsparks Hwy6 you said it, he was brash to put it lightly from interviews I’ve seen on him. Eclectic, introverted & as the Brits would say “Mad”. Fine line between genius or crazy. 1 of the most recent videos I’ve seen of him prior to his passing. Was him, Jack Bruce & idk who the other musician were but in the middle of the song he got up & left the drum riser. Apparently he was not happy wit that “version or sound” of Cream. Was like eff it, this sounds like shit I’m out.
& another OG drummer Carmin Appice. He’s played wit everybody!!! I’m partial to the drums, i somewhat played on my older bro’s set in the day. But that was it. Rage Evil Empire, AC/DC back & black albums & GNR a few songs. Would attempt to play along wit the CD. Rewind when I’d mess up. Spend hours playing while he wasn’t home. Carter Beauford of the Dave Matthews Band another who doesn’t get the shine he should from the masses but actual musicians know his skills. Carmin solo th-cam.com/video/eHxPkQAcgdM/w-d-xo.html
Lynyrd Skynyrd did a live version at a concert to save Atlanta’ s Fabulous Fox Theater this I believe I like even better. I love Clapton’s version, too, of course.
Cream has always been one of those bands you forget how much you like their style until your listening to them again, i am always drawn to the bass. 6.5 outta 10, they have better songs, but this is classic jam style
I have over 500 hundred videos not all of them are exciting and sometimes your not focused might have other things on your mind. Unfortunately not every video is a great experience but I do appreciate your time and feedback ✌️
Jack Bruce's bass playing on this track is beyond sick.
He played lead bass guitar.

Robert Johnson song about selling his soul to the devil at the crossroads to improve his guitar playing.
Myth

Came up in the 60s don,t remember much but I remember the music and this was great

Jack Bruce killed it on that bass.
the fighting was actually between the drummer and bass player. literally.
Fat lips, bloody noses, skinned knuckles and all.
Go deep with their next track from the ‘Wheels of Fire’ double album (One studio, one live), their 15 minute version of ‘Spoonful’.
Excellent choice. Cream is fantastic my man. I think you'll dig em.

I cannot believe how few reactions there are to this INCREDIBLE song on TH-cam! Wake up, REACTORS!!!
Thats cause people have them do wimpy shit like Christopher Cross and stupid third tier stuff
Probably brain dead from Rap.
That mean comment came Justine Thyme 😩😃😁😂✌️
@@themightyfp thanks RRT that's my pseudonym, just in time as I'm 82 years young this year 😎🎵🎶🎵🦘
😆 congratulations on reaching that age I hope to get there one day 😁✌️
Another excellent video, glad you enjoyed it 🥂

Cream is a phenomenal band. They have so many great songs like White Room, Tales of Great Ulysses, Sunshine of your Love, and many others!

The Drummer recently passed away,
Damn.. I didn't hear... how did I miss that? I knew Baker wasn't well, but i didnt hear, I feel foolish AND sad.
How recent ? Like weeks , a year? I'm just picking at myself now . ...
You should do a reaction to Toad as z tribute
Ginger Baker passed away Oct 2019, JAck Bruce the bass player passed away 5 years ago. Clapton is the only member of the group alive.
@@jima6545 Yeah, the used the intro to Toad by Cream as the bumper music for Boston Bruin games in the late 60's, got me pumped for the games. LOL
Imagine a steam locomotive barreling down a stretch of open plain with a gun fight going on in the carriages. That's what this sounds like.
Such a full sound for a 3 piece band. Epic stuff
There was a reason why they called themselves "Cream".....it rises to the top.
Eric Clapton at his face melting best 🔥🎸
Yup, early Clapton was best Clapton. He became Old Man Clapton much too early, much too polished and boring for my taste. Early Clapton still had that rawness and aggressiveness to his playing that I love.
@@saschaschneider6355 I love all of his phases, don't understand people who don't like the newer stuff
@@scottcrosby-art5490 I think the newer stuff is OK and there's a few really good songs but the early stuff really is where Clapton was shining. Young Clapton created the cliches that old Clapton is following
Scott Crosby There’s some newer stuff that is great but there’s a lot more stuff from his earlier years that are great
The lead singer and guitarist is Eric Clapton who did Tears in Heaven around 1990 which you reacted to a while ago.
Review Bob Seger's 2 + 2. Also look into MC5's first album.
Yep, you defined it your own way, but this is why we like power trios. Everyone has to give 150%.
Got to see the Cream

Try N.S.U. from Live Cream, Volume 1. Makes this look tame.
These are really just way up tempo blues licks. Works surprisingly well.
GREAT song!
The Little Red Riding indoor thing makes us wonder if you mask up in the shower? Hmmm.
🤔

Rosedale, Mississippi. Near the 'crossroads' where Robert Johnson met the Devil.
"On the riverside", refers to the Mississippi river.
Rosedale Ms.
@@1bigrowdy Thank you for the correction.
No problem

and why the hoodie mute between his head and the headphones???
Lose the hoodie. You'll be able to hear better.
Cheers
Want to know what a well oiled machine sounds like. = Cream
(slip off headphone) "HUH? WHADYA SAY?" (slip off headphone again) "WHAT? WHADYA SAY?" How dare you talk over the greatest rock song of all time?
😞 ✌️

Do yourself a favour. Listen to Spoonful on the Wheels of Fire album. Will blow your mind.

Can you please react to Genesis song called Silver Rainbow 🌈
Please
GG ALLIN live video review!!
Listen to some SRV
Robert Johnson
Harvester Of Tone yes this is a cover crossroad blues by Robert Johnson.
RRT give it away mate if you are that bored doing these reactions just give it away. Totally boring

Go deep with their next track from the ‘Wheels of Fire’ double album (One studio, one live), their 15 minute version of ‘Spoonful’.
