The definition of an essential 60’s hard rock anthem. All 3 members are universally acknowledged as among the very best of all time at drums, lead guitar, and bass guitar. Top tier. Cream.
I love it when I know a song is KICK ASS and someone listening to it for the first time is hesitant at the beginning...then there's that moment where it picks up and you can see on their face they've decided it's awesome. You didn't disappoint!
Hey, I saw CREAM and had to watch this! Thanks for a fire reaction, I really loved the way you went deep into this tune… Yeah this is one helluva song from that time…I reckon you’ll appreciate more of their catalogue. Eric Clapton, using his sweet wah wah pedal on this guitar solo, Jack Bruce on vocals, Ginger Baker on drums…they are legends, all three of them, and those psychedelic rock times were heady ones… White Room - a sterile place free from disturbance and pollution - the lyrics refer to what went on in their lives at that time; trying to change unhealthy relationships, also one of them had started going clean from alcohol/drugs, trying to set up a new life -it referred to all sorts of things. The Black Roof Country - a part of town where the trains run through and all the roofs are black from soot and dust and fumes…. Also in the end it also was meant to have some mystery to it :) That track featured in the 2019 Joker movie with Heath Ledger - I think in some other movies as well…. I hope you’ll enjoy diving into the Cream catalog, especially Eric Clapton’s. He’s truly one of my biggest guitar heroes, saw him live in concert and he blew me away!! Another group you would really enjoy: Dirty Loops, a contemporary trio from Sweden. “Work Shit Out” -a truly amazing track of theirs (link below.) The way you listen to music, eyes closed and vibing along, I’m sure you’ll be blown away by these three dudes 🔥🔥🔥 I’d LOVE to hear what you think of them :D Thanks BizMatic 👍🙏☺️
Cream's catalogue is absolutely worth diving into, they are one of the most influential bands of the 20th century. They were one of, if not the first psychedelic rock band. Eric Clapton on guitar and backup vocals, Ginger Baker on drums, and Jack Bruce on bass and lead vocals, all of them masters at their instruments. If you come back to them, I recommend checking out Tales Of Brave Ulysses or Strange Brew.
"Tales of Brave Ulysses" from "Live Cream: Volume II" sets the bar for proto-metal, and Eric Clapton's wah-wah solo will melt your face. th-cam.com/video/I32Wwfv8v1U/w-d-xo.html
Love Cream, totally worth diving into, they are truly legendary despite only having 3 albums worth of material...this song is probably about something specific, but the psychedelic lyrical rambling is majestic, one can actually feel the late '60s hippie love-fest grooves..."far out man, far out!"
The wah wah pedal was the newest cool thing that Clapton was using. Their catalog IS Rock history. They weren't together very long, but they put out some great music. Video of "Sunshine of your Love" is a must see and "Tales of Brave Ulysses" is another must see.
Yeah I vividly remember my dad sorting out the seeds in his stash while this song filled the room. LOL. The good ole 70s (although I believe this song was released in 1968). Love me some Clapton. Great pick!
Cream were my favourites as a teenager in the 1960s. They didn’t make many albums as they were only around for a couple of years 1966-68. Really they only had four albums during their lifetime, Fresh Cream, Disraeli Gears, Wheels of Fire & Goodbye. Wheels of Fire was a double album, one studio,one live. Goodbye was a single album with a mixture of studio and live cuts. After that there were a couple of official live albums released and since then some more live albums surfaced, but for me nothing beats the live album from Wheels of Fire. Happy listening.
This album came out when I was a young girl. Cream was amazing! Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker continued to create together. Part of the British invasion, as the media dubbed it, had a circle back relationship with America. Our blues history and Motown music were definitely acknowledged as major influences for many bands. Eric Clapton was nicknamed slow hand, an ironic nod to his unbelievable skills. I still sing this to myself (as an old lady 😹) one, because it's fun and also the pictures it paints in one's mind are such a trip. Dark moods happen yet few can deliver a gift such as this in reflection. Thank you for sharing young man! 😽💋🎶
Just to continue song by song. This song + the full Album Disraeli Gears. To make the impression of a generally educated person this is one of the more important groups of the late 60s you should have heard... cream is the substance floating on the top. Peace love flower power
Another great reaction Biz, it's so fun to see you really get into the music. The lyrics are mysterious to me too, but you can blame that on the times. People were high af.
When I first heard of Clapton, it was Layla. The soft version. Throughout my journey listening to everything, I eventually found out this bad ass solo was the same Clapton. Clapton was a badass on guitar from the getgo.
Cream: Eric Clapton on guitars, Jack Bruce on bass & vocals, and the amazing Ginger Baker on the drum kit. The OG power trio. Try "Swlabr," "Badge," "Strange Brew" or "Crossroads" for seriously tripping blues.
For me it's about depression. The station is your head and the station are the thoughts coming through your head are the trains, especially the bit about shadows hiding from themselves. They represent dark/negative thoughts
When Wheels of Fire album came out, I went and bought my first electric guitar!. Lyrics by Peter Brown, about hanging in a dismal room at a train station.
I think the lyrics are about the end of one relationship and the start of anew one. Girl gets up gets dressed leaves on a.train. Narrator says goodby at the train station and is lonely and depressed until he goes to a party and meets a new girl.
Hey Biz. Yeah man, the Cream catalog is definitely worth checking into! That's Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce on bass and vocals, and Ginger Baker on drums. They are all great players individually and as a group they are iconic. Check out "Sunshine of Your Love", "SWLABR" and "Badge" just to name a few. Peace.
Definitely a legendary band, Eric Clapton is probably the greatest guitarist ever after Jimi Hendrix. “Wheels of Fire” and “Disraeli Gears” are both incredible albums. 2 of my all time favorites
Yes, Biz, yes! Check out the whole catalog. Whew! Clapton, where to start? Eric Clapton is a guitar god. Vast amount of work, many, many collaborations, Legendary bands, deeply involved in rock history. Like, 10th degree Blues Master. His musical relationships, forbidden love (he fell in love with his best friends wife, George Harrison, and refused to act on it), love attained (they were eventually married), addiction, divorce, tragedy , triumph over addiction, all went into his music. HOF with 3 groups. One of the most influential guitarists of all time. Yes, Biz, yes. P.S. He did a Bob Marley cover. Seriously.
Cream was truly in their element on stage: Among the myriad essential cuts in their catalog are the live versions of "Crossroads" from "Wheels of Fire" th-cam.com/video/rIgX4e2Z9Qk/w-d-xo.html , "Tales of Brave Ulysses" from "Live Cream: Volume II" th-cam.com/video/I32Wwfv8v1U/w-d-xo.html , and "Sleepy Time Tie" from "Live Cream" th-cam.com/video/l664JvhC2NY/w-d-xo.html
You dont know anything about music.. and u dont even know what hip hop is... shut your bitter @$$ up. And hip hop is the number 1 genre rightnow and has been for awhile and will be for awhile 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤷🏾♂️
The original power trio.
every single kid with a guitar.... wanted to do this 🎸🎸🎸

Just in case you didn't know Biz, they were called cream because they were the cream of the crop of British musicians at this time.
First supergroup power trio! Clapton was on fire back then!✌🤘
Definitely worth diving into Biz
3 piece powerhouse from the `60`s.
Love Cream, totally worth diving into, they are truly legendary despite only having 3 albums worth of material...this song is probably about something specific, but the psychedelic lyrical rambling is majestic, one can actually feel the late '60s hippie love-fest grooves..."far out man, far out!"

Their performance in 2005 Royal Albert Hall is astounding. In their 60's and this version might be their best!
Yes, the technology back then was pretty primitive, but damn, we knew how to use it!
Tales of Brave Ulysses is a trippy one ✌️

Lol high people make great music
Their bassist Jack Bruce wrote this song with Poet Pete Brown, whose lyrics are often obscure.
Clapton goes to overdrive on the guitar. Using the Vox V846 Wah-Wah Pedal. Genius.
Cream are an awesome legendary band!
Love ginger baker as a drummer. Anchored them superbly. Him and Keith moon set unprecedented drumming patterns
Dude gets "Cream". Effin' awesome.
They are definitely worth digging deeper.
JACK BRUCE!
When I first heard of Clapton, it was Layla. The soft version. Throughout my journey listening to everything, I eventually found out this bad ass solo was the same Clapton. Clapton was a badass on guitar from the getgo.
Flawless.
Cream: Eric Clapton on guitars, Jack Bruce on bass & vocals, and the amazing Ginger Baker on the drum kit. The OG power trio. Try "Swlabr," "Badge," "Strange Brew" or "Crossroads" for seriously tripping blues.
the intro and outro on this song is amazing
For me it's about depression. The station is your head and the station are the thoughts coming through your head are the trains, especially the bit about shadows hiding from themselves. They represent dark/negative thoughts
Waiting in a cue is waiting in a line. British
💘 your reaction. Your neck muscles are getting stronger.
🤣🤣🤣
When Wheels of Fire album came out, I went and bought my first electric guitar!.
Lyrics by Peter Brown, about hanging in a dismal room at a train station.
I think the lyrics are about the end of one relationship and the start of anew one. Girl gets up gets dressed leaves on a.train. Narrator says goodby at the train station and is lonely and depressed until he goes to a party and meets a new girl.
Eric Clapton on lead guitar
Wow, not too many rock songs use timpani drums. What do the lyrics mean? Fill in the missing word: Sex, _______ , and Rock 'n Roll.
Any band that has Eric Clapton is guaranteed top shelf, that's him wailing on the guitar with Wah-pedal. I suggest Crossroads 🔥
Tales of Brave Ulysses is great.
❤❤❤
Locked in and loaded
Que is waiting for the train. Shadows run from themselves. Nightfall.
Cream old school
Hey Biz. Yeah man, the Cream catalog is definitely worth checking into! That's Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce on bass and vocals, and Ginger Baker on drums. They are all great players individually and as a group they are iconic. Check out "Sunshine of Your Love", "SWLABR" and "Badge" just to name a few. Peace.

Sorry but Stevie Ray Vaughn is the GOAT.
RIP💔 SRV🎸
I don't know what it's talking about but it sure sounds cool.
🎸💯 Clapton shredz it‼🐐 Cream killz it‼🔥
❤ Biz, you've gotta check out "Crossroads"‼
‼DIVE BIZMATIK DIVE‼
that was eric clapton dude, check out moody blues, night in white satin, procol harum, jefferson airplane white bird
This one was a goodie ♥️👍
☮️💜

Classic tune !!! An 8 minute video has a 23:56 long ad halfway through - LOL

Listen to wah wah by George Harrison it's about Eric Clapton stealing his wife
What is this song about? Spark one up and think about your dreams... :-) Great song.
Ginger Baker...Neil Peart's hero! Cream...another "big sound" trio! Definitely dive Biz... Cheers.
Well? Do you think their catalog is worth the time?
kick ass 3 piece band that influenced many on the road to stardom! way to short lived for my liking but egos tend to get in the way.
The only problems with this song it that it is 3 minutes too short and is missing a 2 minute guitar solo in the middle
Boomer music. True musicians and their instruments and voice.
Way way beyond shitty bullshitted hip-hop and rap music.
You dont know anything about music.. and u dont even know what hip hop is... shut your bitter @$$ up. And hip hop is the number 1 genre rightnow and has been for awhile and will be for awhile 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤷🏾♂️
