Cream have always been one of my favourite bands. RIP Jack, one of Scotland's best musicians.

End of an era is just upon us.


It amazes me how everything that came before the mid sixities is forgotten and much of what came after is irrelevant.

Cream was classic rock in 1980, think about that.

Oh man, sad. 1st song i ever learned to play beginning to end was 'sunshine of your love', Claptons eccentric little solo was tough for me to wrap my hear as a beginner.

Great bass player. When I started playing bass as a kid, I had the Zeppelin and Cream bass book.
Great way to learn. Always did Cream covers in bands as well. RIP Jack...

Eddie Van Halen always claimed Clapton was his biggest influence - even more so than Hendrix.

Can't believe Ginger didn't go first. He looked 50 in the 60s.

yep.

Unfortunately super groups rarely last.

I was in a metal band for a while with all the best gigging musicians in our area. The music we created was amazing, polished, tight, and well pruduced. When we started gigging, the bands we played with were floored. (And these were legit bands gigging professionally in a mahor metropolitan city, not crap garage rock playing for 10 people in the local dive bar)

Unfortunately, as happens with many bands comprised of extremely talented induviduals, egos clashed, women, drugs, and tempers tore us apart within months.

It was sad, we had real potential.
