Or are the Isle of Wight Festival 2012 going to book the Cream reunion band with adam88356 on guitar instead of Eric Clapton who they shouldn't have had in the first place because he's never really been very good
Clapton's good because he gives them space... he's not all over them (as Jimi or Jeff Beck would've been). I think at this time Clapton was a team-player.
Jack & Ginger were having a war in the background using distorted bass & double-kick kit as heavy weaponry!
i agree clapton was only a 3rd of the band and not the best 3rd either . i read claptons biography and wot a boring cunt he is, ya wudnt want him at ya party thats for sure sober or not . nope , the boys bruce n baker made that band, clapton was good but as ginger said :a good band wiv a great drummer are a great band. mediocre drummer is a mediocre band.
Anyone who says blues is 'easy' to play does not appreciate the complexity of the genre, it's 'easy' if you think a three chord slow 12 bar is what it is but it os not, not in a million years. You ask any blues guitarist and they'll tell you they're just scraping the surface of the music, even if they've been playing for years.
@tasossx Well, there are musicians like that in our times. Maybe a little less, but they happen to exist ;) You could check Doyle Bramhall II out for example. He's Claptons "backup" guitarist and makes great music with his two bands the Arc Angels or Smokestack
@tasossx I think it's because not many people are actually musicians anymore. Tits and ass thrust onto a stage and strung like puppets. It's a sad state of affairs.
Great performance, shame it's spoilt for posterity by the unbelievably bad film work. E.g During Eric's solo (on a Gibson ES335) the camera stays on Jack Bruce's bass, ffs. And 'groovy' in-and-out of focus shots.
Just awesome! Love this footage. It takes me back, I had the privilege of seeing Cream Live in concert in Des Moines , IA back in 1968. Third row center seat and to this day it is still the most amazing concert I've ever been to in my life. Saw Janis Joplin at the same venue, saw the Doors at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis and the Who at Anaheim stadium all great concerts but Cream was the best ever.

Raw schreeching abandon- NOTHING like his present lazy successfull and un-hungry persona. This is when Clapton was a Robert Johnson fan blistering it out to the world. Now without people like Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Felix Pappalardi producing he's just another multi-millionaire, imitation bluesman, self satisfied, phoning it in. BUT! Those were the days when he could hold the stage with anyone alive on earth.
@dav4art What about page, gilmour, vai and even mark knofler who is just outstanding. Come on there are no best guitarist. Let me tell you a thing, i went to spain with my guitar last summer and i never was so frustrated of all my life. I thought i knew everything with my blues licks and met a lot of young kids playing flamenco and let me tell you they could all be greatest guitarists of all time. hendrix, clapton etc are amazing but the best guitarist doesn't exist
This is WONDERFUL I believe this from Royal Albert Hall. The Wheels of fire Version at Winterland in San Francisco "The Perfect Live recording" Clapton is Playing a Gibson SG
Unbelievable. I heard Cream live when I was just a young one - Madison Square Garden, NYC, '68 (this might even have been the exact show). I've listened to the version of 'Crossroads' on "Wheels of Fire" for years, but this... Where the heck has this footage been all these years? Thank goodness for youtube. This is very cool!
Thanks for posting. (It may dispel notions that those only familiar with "Unplugged" or "Lay Down Sally" may have that EC's rep as a badass bluesman is undeserved.)
@zakkphatt--Crossroads is one of the best, if not the best live rock/blues performances ever seen. WHEELS OF FIRE version has been called "the perfect' live recording.
It's not true that all of the today's music sucks. Sylvian (Japan) and Fripp (King Crimson) made a good album couple of years ago, so did Iggy Pop (his "Preliminaires" in 2009.) :))
GREAT MUSIC, SHIT CAMERA WORK-(SIGH). IF ONLY YOU COULD SEE WHAT BAKER IS ACTUALLY PLAYING INSTEAD OF THE WANK CAMERA GUY ROLLING FOCUS THROUGH GINGER;'S DRUM KIT. ASSHOLE!
Got to meet Jack Bruce on 1/13/11 at Winter NAMM in Anaheim. Told him my band still plays Crossroads. He looked at me and said 'Probably better than we did'. I told him that wasn't possible. Saw Cream live in Oct '68 at the Inglewood Forum ... man they rocked.
@Rich6Brew .... Can't remember exactly which day unfortunately ... they played two days ... I was in High School (Lennox) and went with my older brother. I think it was the second day (19th). The forum wasn't very big and Cream sounded huge. A drummer friend of mine sat very close to the stage. He said Ginger had cut his hand and was bleeding a little (blood on the drums). Also, GB dropped a stick and grabbed an alternate without missing a beat. Gingers son now lives very close in Costa Mesa.
Eric is the only artist to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times. He was inducted as part of The Yardbirds in 1992, as part of Cream in 1993, and as a solo artist in 2000.
@jasonteten Great answer, early I was lucky enough too find the Three Kings !! BB,Freddie,and Albert...All great....but gimmie Albert !! ......talk about Feeling the blues....He's Amazing...!..He makes you feel it too!!
@jasonteten right on the money! people say cream was hard rock or heavy metal -- not even close. they were a blues band. sitting around with some friends in the 60's listening to music and somebody said what's better than rock? without missing a beat my brother looked up from his guitar and said one word -- BLUES.
@jasonteten it's very true. some people will even never be able to play blues right, and some are just born right with it. like Johnny Winter, the god of blues.
We heard what you said many times and i regret to tell you that it's not true ( i'm talking about fast playing ...) many guitarist play fast, very fast and they also possess the right notes .I think it's more a question of temperament and personality, which some like to play very fast and also because they have the technology to do ..Beck , Hendrix , G Moore , McLaughlin ....etc they all know how to play the blues ... with taste and have a great harmonic and melodic mastery
@jasonteten no way! Clapton was just a good compromise: reasonably good guitar "touché" and bluesy voice but without enough technical ressources to express all the blues moods in a guitar solo (It is kind of the same riffs over and over, and is getting worst with age).
Cream was a great band and Clapton was only a third of it.
how long will people play the "feeling" card when promoting blues ? Who the hell cares if the performer "feels" the music ? Moreover, how the hell could you tell when a performer feels the music ?
@reghin79 Who cares if they feel the music? You poor fool. Music is all about feeling- guitar playing especially. What do you do in life if you can't feel? You're a fuckin zombie. Clapton can play one note and you feel it in your soul.' And you can tell by the way he plays. Go watch some Paul Kossoff live footage and tell me he isn't feeling every note. You are a sorry excuse for a human if you get no emotion from this music
@reghin79 "Who cares if they feel the music?" Wow, dude... music IS feeling (most music at least) Like this performance, its just pure emotions converted into sound. If a musician doesn't feel what he's playing, it simply wont sound good. Lots of musicians spend a long time practicing finger skills and techniques etc, until one day they realize a fact: IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FEELING. It's impossible to explain rationally, but any1 who has ever been put to tears by a song know what I'm talking about.
I suppose drugs help. I mean, there is a significant structural difference between playing one note and playing 10 notes. A difference that the use of drugs could be able to erase; either that or the use of marketing on the producer's side.
What you refer to as "feeling" is a briiliant invention of the music industry that compensates for lack of creativity. Thus, the more basic a song gets, the more "feeling" the audience will read into it.
Blues is all about simplicity. That's fine, let's leave it at that. No need to bring up the "feel".
In fact - money aspect aside - how could a white man play the blues and "feel" it ? The whole concept is ridiculous. Where are his centuries of opression ?
@reghin79 Blues, while coming from the Delta, is not necessarily to do with black oppression, it's just about having the blues. Anyone can feel that. Heard Peter Green? Your comments about feeling being an invention are bullshit. Some songs are rubbish and rely on a sort of 'epic' feel, like that Muse shit, but feeling is something that people have noted in music for thousands of years and it cannot be taught. Don't tell me Robert Johnson had no feeling. It's not something you see, you hear it.
Would you stop avoiding the issue ? I've told you in three posts allready, if you want to talk to me about feeling, then make an effort and try to define it as unambiguously as you can.
And yes, I've identified oppression as an underlying motif for the blues (poverty, the limited possibilities of the black man etc.), whether mentioned overtly or not. Even Robert Johnson's background involves work on a plantation.
The bible has also been followed blindly for thousands of years.
@reghin79 For one thing, I'm not the same person you've been talking to in the recent posts, for another thing I said it is not necessarily to do with anything black even though the tonality is distinctly African and it came from African Americans. You said earlier that white people can't play the blues, and I don't agree with this at all. In terms of feeling, I can't explain it, how am I avoiding any issue? In saying it doesn't exist, you're saying robots could make music just as well.
I did not say earier that blues can't be performed by white people. Notice the nuance: I said that if there is in fact such a thing as a "feel" for the blues, then only an African-American performer could possess it. As it happens, I believe that is not the case because I don't believe there is a "feel".
@marketanarchist2011 sorry dude just really don't dig Muse. I think all their music sounds the same, and they just don't do anything for me. Sounds flat and lifeless. I've heard their blues, and sure they're playing a 12 bar blues jam but that doesn't mean it's the blues. Has no feeling. But that's just me.
@reghin79 Skin color or origin has nothing to do with this, feeling is something undefinable that doesn't lay in your blood. Yes there is a difference between playing 10 notes and playing one note, but one isn't better than the other. So "feeling" is brilliant invention of the music industry? Are you saying you've never felt anything listening to music?
@reghin79 "The mote basic a song gets, the more 'feeling' the audience will read into it." I'd rather say the more basic a song is, the more feeling will it take to make it sound good. That's not always true though. I suppose you're not that into music, and I find it hard to belive you play any instruments since you don't seem to understand how important it is to really feel the music while you're creating it.
Not that it makes any difference, but I play the guitar, the violin and the keyboard. And I happen to know from experience that simple compositions need more marketing than complex works. Or, as you would put it "the more basic a song is, the more feeling will it take to make it sound good".
For instance, my skills on the piano are basic. Thus I need feeling (= gimmicks) to make people like my song. I'm more experienced with the guitar, thus I need no feeling in order to entertain
@reghin79 First of all it makes a big difference if you actually know music or if you're just another troll. Secondly feeling and gimmicks are not the same thing. Thirdly I'm not a native english speaker so I'm having some trouble keeping up with you in this conversation. But I maintain my opinoin: feeling is essential for all music and it's NOT an excuse for lack of creativity, but something much deeper and more important.
@reghin79 You're getting feeling and techniques confused. Vibrato isn't a "gimmick", it's a technique that has been used in music for centuries. Gimmick's are things like playing with a violin bow or behind your head. Both of these may HELP with the songs feeling, but playing with feeling is something that literally cannot be explained so stop asking for it. I can see you're into over-intellectualisation by the way you say he doesn't leave the pentatonic scale. If you knew anything about...
@reghin79 blues, you'd know that the tonality is NOT just the pentatonic scale. You would also know that playing an Eb mixolydian scale doesn't make you any more valid as a musician. Are you trying to tell me that the music that GAVE BIRTH to the blues, such as spirituals, gospel, fife and drum music, folk tunes etc which is drenched in feeling, literally has EVERYTHING to do with feeling, and nothing to do with 'techniques' has no feeling? This is before marketing remember. Old blues singers...
@reghin79 didn't think "oh I know, I'll do a vibrato here". Lots of them didn't even know these terms, so don't tell me they were relying on techniques, or gimmicks as you call them. They were a fully integrated part of their style. You know what that means? They didn't see the sounds they made in their field hollers or work songs as being any less relevant or important than the notes themselves. If anything they cared less for the notes. That's in order to portray FEELING. If you say it's not..
@reghin79 didn't think "oh I'l put some vibrato in here", they didn't even know these terms. They were just fully integrated elements of their field hollers and work songs. They took these portrayals of feeling as being just as, if not more, valid than the notes, unlike today where it's all about the notes and then you put in a little vibrato to make it pretty. If you say feeling doesn't exist in these songs, which existed before marketing, you're undermining the lives of hundreds of people...
@reghin79 who formed the music. Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, Robert Johnson, Charley Patton and hundreds of others who never got recognition. They didn't play for any marketing reasons, they played because the blues was their way of life and they knew nothing but the blues. All they were trying to do is express the emotion of their life in their songs. That involves feeling a certain way about your life and it finding its way into your music without any of the bullshit you describe...
We're not talking about the delta squadron here Slim. I was in fact speaking of our main man Clapton. But to extrapolate, yes, I believe that to speak of "soul" and other similar mystic nonsense is to use marketing gimmicks or, on the consumer side, to justify a choice in music to oneself and to others. And marketing has been around since before the cotton soloists or bands were formed.

And marketing has been around since before the cotton soloists or bands were formed.
It's more like the sound in the voice, the hesitation or early note playing, note choice, echoing of vocal qualities in the instrument (which is a technique taken directly from West Africa, in a society where the whole point of their music is to portray their feeling). There are hundreds of these techniques, yes I said techniques, but it's how they use them. I don't know how you can't understand this when hearing music. What about soulful music? Does that not have any soul? You just don't get it
Your view on music and society is rather romantic - all about the feeling, soul and so fourth.
To draw legitimacy from the old country (i.e. Africa) is a popular branding technique, employed for various reasons (various - I will admit it's not always about the money, at times it's about affirmative action movements, or just plain old "here's what new elements I bring to the industry" etc.).
Maybe all of these reasons combined: take an Italian restaurant for instance.
@reghin79 it's not romantic. I understand what you're trying to say, but it's not romantic. All music is about nothing more than expressing what you feel. Sure, these days it's about marketing, but the essence of music is nothing but telling others how you feel. I don't care about most music today, and I understand that music in the 60s was also heavily marketed, but the essence of modern music is the music blacks created in the south. That's what I care about, and that music is 100% feeling
@ShakinSlim Agree with you. Reghin79 is totally wrong. I wonder if this guy plays some instrument, maybe not, that's the reason about his statement. Music means, feelings and deep emotions from your heart. Musicians are not robots or andoids.
@reghin79 Note choice, Vibrato, Phrasing, Articulation are all used to convey feeling through playing. Have fun being a zombie your whole life you kretin
Every musician chooses notes, you misguided hippie. Many use vibrato (Clapton is not one of them by the way) and the phrasing is just fucking plain with Cream/Clapton just like the note choice (stuck in pentatonic), it's common, ordinary, without twists, been done before many times over.
You know it's funny, because in marketing, it's you that's referred to as a mindless zombie consumer, for adopting reasons to worhip your idols even more ("soul"), or even inventing new ones.
@reghin79 First, you didnt listen to clapton ONCE if you say he doesnt use vibrato! He has a specific vibrato, different from most guitar players. THe phrasing is very different from what guitarists used to do at that time and he doesnt use only pentatonics.
Show me a guitarist with a better note choice and phrasing. REally, I really want to listen to such a guitar player!
@reghin79 man. i've been cruising this site for years and you are hands down the most ignorant useless fucking piece of shit cunt i've come across. I know more about guitar and guitar techniques than you ever will. "every musician chooses notes" this proves you have no fucking idea. note choice is about choosing carefully what youre going to play before you do it. Clapton has impeccable note choice. Ever heard of less is more? Man. You're lucky this is the internet
You're very hostile; I'll admit I provoked you with my last comment but you were also very hostile before my provocation. Do you heate me for not worshiping Clapton ? That would be very strange indeed.
I wouldn't presume to know more about the guitar than you do, because I've never watched you play or compose for it. Whch reminds me, did you stand by Clapton when he was [carefully] adding notes on his sheet ? For all you know, the notes came from jamming with his friends.
@reghin79 Man I'm just surprised. You've have missed the point so spectacularly. I don't expect anyone to worship anyone in particular but I can't accept someone saying that feel is not an essential part of music and that blues guitar has no feel. There is no other guitar style that conveys feeling through solo improvisation more than blues. But it is clear to me that you are not at all musical so there is no way i can explain to you what feel is because you're a zombie
@morpheusxnyc Everyone keeps going on about Beiber you have to be the one on all his videos masturbating like a little faggot.. Go hang yourself you weird bastard.
@morpheusxnyc Who said anything about liking Justin Bieber?? You're the one on a Cream video talking about Bieber.. Seems a bit weird that a 38yr man would be talking about a kid like that.. You big pedophile.
@DoWhtYaLike86: You come rushing to Beiber's defense like a lovestruck teenage girl, with your face face beet red, beating your little pink fists against the big mean man's chest for saying that people that thumbs downed this vid are Beiber fans and throw their same words back at them like a child parroting a grow up.
So you're either a preteen/tween who's got a Beiber lunchbox and posters on your bedroom walls or you're an adult with those things as well. So you're either a tween or a perv.
There was a generational gap and a cultural void between the generation that knows Cream and those that follow the exploits of He Who Shall Not Be named and by uttering his name,I'm introducing them to the nightmarish, 15-minutes-of-fame- gone-horribly-awry cultural cesspool this country's become.
"The reason that this version is "different" is that the comerical version from "Wheels of Fire" was spliced together from two shows taped at the Fillmore West."
No true. I have a bootleg recording of that version, and it is identical to the commercial release. The WoF Crossroads was recorded at Winterland, not the Fillmore.

Unbelievable. I heard Cream live when I was just a young one - Madison Square Garden, NYC, '68 (this might even have been the exact show). I've listened to the version of 'Crossroads' on "Wheels of Fire" for years, but this... Where the heck has this footage been all these years? Thank goodness for youtube. This is very cool!
Thanks for posting. (It may dispel notions that those only familiar with "Unplugged" or "Lay Down Sally" may have that EC's rep as a badass bluesman is undeserved.)

@Rich6Brew .... Can't remember exactly which day unfortunately ... they played two days ... I was in High School (Lennox) and went with my older brother. I think it was the second day (19th). The forum wasn't very big and Cream sounded huge. A drummer friend of mine sat very close to the stage. He said Ginger had cut his hand and was bleeding a little (blood on the drums). Also, GB dropped a stick and grabbed an alternate without missing a beat. Gingers son now lives very close in Costa Mesa.

you dont have to play fast fingers in guitar playing,.because fast
fingers will take you only hours of practice,.but the feeling of
blues music will take you years and even decades to get thru
it..blues is easy to play but it is hard to feel..its not how fast
your finger is,it is how you play the note..thats why eric clapton
is i think one of the best guitarist in the world.

@jasonteten no way! Clapton was just a good compromise: reasonably good guitar "touché" and bluesy voice but without enough technical ressources to express all the blues moods in a guitar solo (It is kind of the same riffs over and over, and is getting worst with age).
Cream was a great band and Clapton was only a third of it.

@reghin79 Who cares if they feel the music? You poor fool. Music is all about feeling- guitar playing especially. What do you do in life if you can't feel? You're a fuckin zombie. Clapton can play one note and you feel it in your soul.' And you can tell by the way he plays. Go watch some Paul Kossoff live footage and tell me he isn't feeling every note.

Well, that was a bit harsh... Anyway, you haven't told me, how exactly do you identify the feeling invested in a performance ?
Could it be the dramatic way one shakes his guitar when getting stuck on a single note ?
The inefficient guitar strumms that require the whole arm to be in motion, instead of just the wrist ?
Or the funny faces that some guitar player make when using the wah-wah pedal or whammy bar ?
The foaming at the mouth and falling over backwards bit ?
What ?

@reghin79 "Who cares if they feel the music?" Wow, dude... music IS feeling (most music at least) Like this performance, its just pure emotions converted into sound. If a musician doesn't feel what he's playing, it simply wont sound good. Lots of musicians spend a long time practicing finger skills and techniques etc, until one day they realize a fact: IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FEELING. It's impossible to explain rationally, but any1 who has ever been put to tears by a song know what I'm talking about.

@JamWithJimi
I suppose drugs help. I mean, there is a significant structural difference between playing one note and playing 10 notes. A difference that the use of drugs could be able to erase; either that or the use of marketing on the producer's side.
What you refer to as "feeling" is a briiliant invention of the music industry that compensates for lack of creativity. Thus, the more basic a song gets, the more "feeling" the audience will read into it.
reghin79 5 months ago
@JamWithJimi
Blues is all about simplicity. That's fine, let's leave it at that. No need to bring up the "feel".
In fact - money aspect aside - how could a white man play the blues and "feel" it ? The whole concept is ridiculous. Where are his centuries of opression ?
reghin79 5 months ago
@reghin79 Blues, while coming from the Delta, is not necessarily to do with black oppression, it's just about having the blues. Anyone can feel that. Heard Peter Green? Your comments about feeling being an invention are bullshit. Some songs are rubbish and rely on a sort of 'epic' feel, like that Muse shit, but feeling is something that people have noted in music for thousands of years and it cannot be taught. Don't tell me Robert Johnson had no feeling. It's not something you see, you hear it.

Would you stop avoiding the issue ? I've told you in three posts allready, if you want to talk to me about feeling, then make an effort and try to define it as unambiguously as you can.
And yes, I've identified oppression as an underlying motif for the blues (poverty, the limited possibilities of the black man etc.), whether mentioned overtly or not. Even Robert Johnson's background involves work on a plantation.
The bible has also been followed blindly for thousands of years.
reghin79 5 months ago
@reghin79 For one thing, I'm not the same person you've been talking to in the recent posts, for another thing I said it is not necessarily to do with anything black even though the tonality is distinctly African and it came from African Americans. You said earlier that white people can't play the blues, and I don't agree with this at all. In terms of feeling, I can't explain it, how am I avoiding any issue? In saying it doesn't exist, you're saying robots could make music just as well.

I did not say earier that blues can't be performed by white people.

As it happens, I believe that is not the case because I don't believe there is a "feel".

@reghin79 Skin color or origin has nothing to do with this, feeling is something undefinable that doesn't lay in your blood.

Are you saying you've never felt anything listening to music?

@reghin79 "The mote basic a song gets, the more 'feeling' the audience will read into it." I'd rather say the more basic a song is, the more feeling will it take to make it sound good. That's not always true though. I suppose you're not that into music, and I find it hard to belive you play any instruments since you don't seem to understand how important it is to really feel the music while you're creating it.
JamWithJimi 5 months ago
@JamWithJimi
Not that it makes any difference, but I play the guitar, the violin and the keyboard. And I happen to know from experience that simple compositions need more marketing than complex works. Or, as you would put it "the more basic a song is, the more feeling will it take to make it sound good".
For instance, my skills on the piano are basic. Thus I need feeling (= gimmicks) to make people like my song. I'm more experienced with the guitar, thus I need no feeling in order to entertain
reghin79 5 months ago
@reghin79 First of all it makes a big difference if you actually know music or if you're just another troll. Secondly feeling and gimmicks are not the same thing. Thirdly I'm not a native english speaker so I'm having some trouble keeping up with you in this conversation. But I maintain my opinoin: feeling is essential for all music and it's NOT an excuse for lack of creativity, but something much deeper and more important.

@reghin79 You're getting feeling and techniques confused. Vibrato isn't a "gimmick", it's a technique that has been used in music for centuries. Gimmick's are things like playing with a violin bow or behind your head. Both of these may HELP with the songs feeling, but playing with feeling is something that literally cannot be explained so stop asking for it. I can see you're into over-intellectualisation by the way you say he doesn't leave the pentatonic scale. If you knew anything about...

@reghin79 blues, you'd know that the tonality is NOT just the pentatonic scale. You would also know that playing an Eb mixolydian scale doesn't make you any more valid as a musician. Are you trying to tell me that the music that GAVE BIRTH to the blues, such as spirituals, gospel, fife and drum music, folk tunes etc which is drenched in feeling, literally has EVERYTHING to do with feeling, and nothing to do with 'techniques' has no feeling? This is before marketing remember. Old blues singers...
ShakinSlim 5 months ago
@reghin79 didn't think "oh I know, I'll do a vibrato here". Lots of them didn't even know these terms, so don't tell me they were relying on techniques, or gimmicks as you call them. They were a fully integrated part of their style. You know what that means? They didn't see the sounds they made in their field hollers or work songs as being any less relevant or important than the notes themselves. If anything they cared less for the notes. That's in order to portray FEELING. If you say it's not..
ShakinSlim 5 months ago
@reghin79 didn't think "oh I'l put some vibrato in here", they didn't even know these terms. They were just fully integrated elements of their field hollers and work songs. They took these portrayals of feeling as being just as, if not more, valid than the notes, unlike today where it's all about the notes and then you put in a little vibrato to make it pretty. If you say feeling doesn't exist in these songs, which existed before marketing, you're undermining the lives of hundreds of people...
ShakinSlim 5 months ago
@reghin79 who formed the music. Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, Robert Johnson, Charley Patton and hundreds of others who never got recognition. They didn't play for any marketing reasons, they played because the blues was their way of life and they knew nothing but the blues. All they were trying to do is express the emotion of their life in their songs. That involves feeling a certain way about your life and it finding its way into your music without any of the bullshit you describe...

We're not talking about the delta squadron here Slim. I was in fact speaking of our main man Clapton. But to extrapolate, yes, I believe that to speak of "soul" and other similar mystic nonsense is to use marketing gimmicks or, on the consumer side, to justify a choice in music to oneself and to others. And marketing has been around since before the cotton soloists or bands were formed.

It's more like the sound in the voice, the hesitation or early note playing, note choice, echoing of vocal qualities in the instrument (which is a technique taken directly from West Africa, in a society where the whole point of their music is to portray their feeling). There are hundreds of these techniques, yes I said techniques, but it's how they use them. I don't know how you can't understand this when hearing music. What about soulful music? Does that not have any soul? You just don't get it

@ShakinSlim
Your view on music and society is rather romantic - all about the feeling, soul and so fourth.
To draw legitimacy from the old country (i.e. Africa) is a popular branding technique, employed for various reasons (various - I will admit it's not always about the money, at times it's about affirmative action movements, or just plain old "here's what new elements I bring to the industry" etc.).
Maybe all of these reasons combined: take an Italian restaurant for instance.
reghin79 5 months ago
@reghin79 it's not romantic. I understand what you're trying to say, but it's not romantic. All music is about nothing more than expressing what you feel. Sure, these days it's about marketing, but the essence of music is nothing but telling others how you feel. I don't care about most music today, and I understand that music in the 60s was also heavily marketed, but the essence of modern music is the music blacks created in the south. That's what I care about, and that music is 100% feeling

Every musician chooses notes, you misguided hippie. Many use vibrato (Clapton is not one of them by the way) and the phrasing is just fucking plain with Cream/Clapton just like the note choice (stuck in pentatonic), it's common, ordinary, without twists, been done before many times over.
You know it's funny, because in marketing, it's you that's referred to as a mindless zombie consumer, for adopting reasons to worhip your idols even more ("soul"), or even inventing new ones.

@reghin79 First, you didnt listen to clapton ONCE if you say he doesnt use vibrato! He has a specific vibrato, different from most guitar players. THe phrasing is very different from what guitarists used to do at that time and he doesnt use only pentatonics.
Show me a guitarist with a better note choice and phrasing. REally, I really want to listen to such a guitar player!
