If you've ever read anything about KISS, you will know that Ace had absolutly no control over what they did. He was just the guitarist who sang a couple of songs. Paul and Gene were in charge of "KISSco."
@kylemcgrath14 Lolno, Jimi Hendrix is the fourth best and the other two on your list don't make it to the top five. They're still good but Jimmy Page, Alex Lifeson and Pete Townsend beat all on your list.
Man, Eric started out good and just kept getting better and better. I saw him in concert here in Vegas a few years back and he had two other great unknown guitarists on stage with him. No ego at all. He knows his place is set in rock n' roll history so why worry about the up and comings?
@hammondleel94 I agree. I don't really like the way they blended in psychedelia here. The original blues verrsion is the best. imo, the only person who could properly blend blues and psychedelic music so far was jimi hendrix. This is still very good though, not enying that :D
Jack Bruce's voice is just unbelievably perfect for the blues, he's a bluesman's blues singer. its ironic how he's a white guy from scotland and yet his voice is just as bluesy as a BB king or Bo Diddley.
Clapton tears it up here, yes, sustain and control of the feedback, but with the awesome vocal richness someone may wonder that, perhaps due to the pure and super drugs, maybe they meant to say that 'Jack Bruce is God' as his voice sounds like the Almighty !! One of the best male vocalist like Greg Lake imo
@kakuify he is the holy spirit. And he the holy spirit and god gave lessons to his son: Jesus (David Gilmour). But alas thy holy spirit had an indian cousin by the name of Mahavishnu (John mcLaughlin) who went on to shred-eth like no other. And yea did another rose from the fiery pits of hell's inferno, Satan (Tony Iommi) who rejected the techniques of the holy ones and created his own dark sound with serious
"shred-a-tude". And among mortals was the merlin (jimmy page), who also rock-ethed.
Ow sorry, i didn't know there is a whole mythology concerning guitarists :p
Anyway, did you see the recent scientific discovery? No, certainly not... some astrologic experts just discover that the universe has the form of a fender stratocaster... coincidence? i don't think so... xD
@dat7vid You know it man!!! Still at 0 dislikes!!! I mean, realistically, you can't dislike Cream!! Come on now!!! You got Clapton, Ginger, and the third dude, whom I can't think of his name right now.
Who are all of these people with the angry words and very bad vibes?! What in the world is so important about these fine musicians that would engender such vicious exchanges? You folks all need to take some chill pills or go out and find some alligators to wrestle, or javelinas to taunt, or big buffalo to intimidate, or some Bengal tigers to piss off! Get yourselves together!
i recently discovered that "the big, wonderful and marvelous" Eric Clapton likes to hunt animals... such a dissapoinment. Since that day, i don't even listen to his music. What's so brave in killing an inocent animal? Fuck him forever, i hope he dies from testicular cancer
@ballyawful i'm pretty sure you think you are more man for killing a animal, right? Why don't you try fight with someone who can hit you back? Because you're a fucking faggot, that's why. You don't have the balls to fight without a gun. No matter what you do, think or say, you don't have the guts, my friend. You are nothing but a fucking pussy. I'd wish too to die from testicular cancer, but you don't have testicles, just have a pink little pussy. Fuck you!!!
@ballyawful no, i'm not a vegetarian. And I knok what you're thinking: "you eat meat, so you kill animals too". Right? Well, I do eat meat, just like any other animal, just in order to survive, because nature is like that. But, you and other faggots like you kill animals for pleasure, wich is not only cruel but coward too. So, again, FUCK YOU, PUSSY!!! You're nothing but a loser, REAL people don't need to probe that kind of shit to anybody. You'll never be nothing more than a fucking loser.
I only shoot for the pot, I've never been on a hunt. I take the morale choice to know how the animal is killed myself, and make sure animal is killed in a way I think is acceptable.
@ballyawful in a way YOU think it's acceptable???? And who the fuck are you to decide that???? Are you God or something??? Let's do this: I'll go to your house and I'll shoot in the knee. I think that's accpetable, and according to your understanding, that'll fine for you to, right? Because, just like you said, I think it's acceptable... I repeat what I said before: if I was one of your parents, I'll shoot myself in the fucking head. I honestly think you couldn't be more stupid.
@ballyawful and you know what it's truly sad..? That you have the power to choose to do the right thing, but you deliberately choose the wrong way. And that just makes you more stupid than you think. If I was your father, I'd shoot myself in the fucking head for having such a stupid human being as my son. Think about it next time you shoot an innocent animal, you fucking douchebag.
@ballyawful jajaja I'm done with you too. For a while, I tought you were clever, but now I see you took the way of the stupid people: you have nothing to say and then you start to insult, wich is fine to me, 'cause I don't give a shit for pussys like you... You think you're a big tuff nigger for comment here, but the truth, my friend, is that you're nothing but a fucking loser, and that's not going to change, wich is pretty sad. Fuck you, fuck Clapton, and fuck your mother too. Fucking loser...
@skbricker 1- first, we weren't talking about music. I never said nothing about Clapton's skills as a musician. I was talking about Clapton killing animals. 2- I actually play music, so I can talk about it how much as I want to. 3- I wasn't talking to you, so SHUT THE FUCK UP and GET LOST. Fucking idiot.
@tcarabellese I'd never hurt a human bieng just because, what makes you say that? I honestly can't understand how you people still worship clapton KNOWING what he does. It's so difficult to understand that I don't like him 'cause he likes to kill inocent animals..? You said that whales and polar bears kill too and not to eat, but whales and polar bears are not RATIONAL ANIMALS. Jesus... and if you think I have anger in me, that's because I hate people like that, but I have a goog motive to.
@tcarabellese besides, I got angry because I have to argue with idiots (like ballyawful) about simple things, things that even a 5 years old boy would understand, things like "it's bad to hurt inocent animals...". Man, they taught you that in SCHOOL, it's not that hard at all to understand. But you seem more human that this fucker, so why are you saying I need medical help? Don't you think that him AND clapton need that medical help instead, for the animal killing without purpose or reason..?
@renzoxeneize Polar Bears and Killer whales hunt and sometimes kill, not to eat, but "just because they feel like it"... Should they all get cancer too? You don't have to agree with him (Clapton), but wishing him a fatal disease seems a bit mean spirited,
Africans needed western harmony and whites needed the soul & rhythm. The simplest but most essential thing needed that the blacks supplied was the blues scale.
Music doesn't care what colour your are. Nor does your ear. Blk music today sucks anyways, how does color and taste correlate? It doesn't... You are racist if you think so BTW...
@Screamingdk Hmmm.... you don't make sense. I cannot distinguish any arguement here. You've got to be a jackass. BTW I just happen to like music from all over the world to include Africa. This song doesn't have anything to do with racism. If people like this version, they aren't racist. But you sure seem to have a thing against whites... Make some damn sense! Or just try and bottle up all of the "blk" music you can so whitey can't steal it.
@Screamingdk Ok, read many of your posts. Your racist. You don't like clapton b/c he's white; take a lesson from history before its too late. You can learn to love whitey if you can see that other people's talents do not detract from your talents. Oh and Hendrix's singing sucks...
@SuperGlooBand Timeless in that it will always be "right"... truly .But, in fairness to you allow me to clarify. When I said that" time stood still " when heard Eric's solo - it was a 'Twilight Zone " style Epiphany of the 1st order !
I don't want to hear all the mainstream Justin Bieber crap that everyone is hearing today, I want to hear the 1960's! The entire Fresh Cream album is awesome (especially the original mono mix), so go and buy a copy if you can!
@OldMusicOnVinyl1 Agreed!!! Justin, GaGa, Taylor, and whoever else is big these days definitely need to pay attention here, cause THIS, kiddies, is music!!!
@TimBirkenholz How? I can respect hiphop and rap as expressions of individuality, but people who make rap and hiphop aren't musicians like people who actually play instruments
@MrMattTheKnife why are you calling people idiots then if they like hip hop XD. O get where you're going tho. Crap on tv nowadays are really idiots who don't make music at all. But back in the day hip hop was actually music. Real good hip hop beats actually have real bass, guitar, piano and drum tracks in them. I just don't like it when people call names on other people because they love a certain music genre. If I say Run dmc or grandmasterflash, I hope you get the idea why people like hiphop
@TimBirkenholz If you can point me to specific songs by those guys that are good, I'll check them out. To be honest, though, I don't have much hope. I've heard some of their stuff, and it sounded silly. But I'm open to suggestion if you can find songs that are good.
Was this version cut a bit too soon? I belive this is the recording where Bruce ends with a final spoonful sentence, yes?... // In any case, another solid classic -- of all time. Thanks MiNnEy.
you know what the spoonful means....it was written around the time they started experimenting with heroin so its easy to work out the true meaning behind the lyrics
@denisetsimpidaros I thought exactly the same thing -don't want to gross you out but that Spoon"full" had another meaning according to an old bluesman /junkie who set me straight ...
@ben909ben Eric was using the unofficially nicknamed Marshall "Bluesbreaker" amp (50 watt ? head w/ 4 x 12 in. Celestions ) don't shoot if it is a 100 watt :) together with the Les Paul (later ripped off by some cretin)
In '68, I saw a mind-boggling concert by Cream in New Haven, CT. At the end of the show, Clapton left his Gibson Firebird leaning up against his stack of Marshalls. I asked one of the Roadies if I could "carefully" check it out. He thought about it for a moment and said "yeah... alright". The strings were almost a half inch off the neck at the octave, and as thick as telephone cables. To this day I have no clue how he played what I heard - whole step bends, vibratos, the works. He's a legend.
@scottmackeen Saw Cream in "68 front row center. Took me about a half hour to get up out of my seat after that show. My friends did the light show for it. Went to Chicago to see them 2 weeks later. The opening act wasFrank Zappa & Mothers of Invention. WOW!!!
@GusJohnsonGotTheKey It was amazing. The Mothers covered the stage with popcorn during their set and during intermission Clapton came out with a push broom & swept the stage before Cream came on.
@2711913 No shit ! ? Kinda shows you what a gent Clapton was - no BS just make it like you want it. Zappa ? you were a genius but you could be such a jerk RIP :)
Right on about the heavy gauge strings! S.R.V. always used them! Matter of fact,growing up learning to play blues, an older (bro friend) of mine ALWAYS used them! I was a skinny little white boy using (light gauge crap)! It's all about hand strength-much better tone with thicker strings!!
A friend of mine got this album in fall of '66 and we used to listen to regularly. He had heard about them... somewhere.. We were 14. It was this and Revolver, the Seeds, Jeff Airplane, The Electric Prunes.... Although this version of Spoonful was not on the American version of Fresh Cream...... In the late '60's, the west coast was the place to be.......
@Aldebaron9 That's interesting. Too, when 16 I got the eight track from my cousin's husband when my family visited them in South Carolina. Her husband was a Highway Patrolman. He got eight tracks from the wrecked car he persued for speeding. When are bell bottoms coming back in style?
@doc998 The speeder was involved in a high speed chase with my cousin's husband who was a member of the Highway Patrol. For your liberal, left wing, pro communist, pro Taliban anti American attitude go screw yourself and your communist comrades. The driver chased was a burnt -out drug addict. Maybe he was like you!
@Aldebaron9 in 1966 I think I bought this album???I lived outside SF,CA. It could have been later but I am sure I was in Jr, High. I remember this song cause we were so freaked by the "spoonful". Acid was not addicting, the safe drug. Yes! But not now. Do not drop acid now.
@twoslices and the truth is brother, you had to know somebody who happened to "inside" to who EC was in 1966 to even know about Cream...if you were in middle America it was pure luck you knew they were touring and had the schedule...u probably just ran into them at a gig not knowing who was about to change your life...u have to remember what was going on in 1966. all we do now is laud how great this was. back then you HAD to be a London sound devotee to understand what was coming over in this.
@talpajam Didnt quite understand what you were going on about....However, I saw Eric Clapton with John Mayall a few times at Klooks Kleek,The Ricky Tick in Windsor and The Flamingo,and I saw Cream twice at The Marquee club in 1966 and quite a few other places in and around London during 66 and 67.
@talpajam back in the day, I am from CA, what we were listening to out West, people on the East Coast never heard. It was once called "underground" music. You had to get it from someone. I moved East in 70. No one heard of my music. so sad a time. I had my albums.
@twoslices have u heard of jj cale then? most ppl dont even know he wrote cocaine and gave it to clapton who was his good friend at the time, jj cale is amazin i advise u listen to him if u havent :)
@Metalhead001122 Crap? How did you come up with that after reading my post? Hendrix was the Master. Nobody knew of him in London in 1966. That was one of his first gigs,hence the small audience.
this song goes good with a spoonful of ganja

This song doesn't have anything to do with racism. If people like this version, they aren't racist. But you sure seem to have a thing against whites... Make some damn sense! Or just try and bottle up all of the "blk" music you can so whitey can't steal it.
Thecogsy1 1 year ago
@Screamingdk Ok, read many of your posts. Your racist. You don't like clapton b/c he's white; take a lesson from history before its too late. You can learn to love whitey if you can see that other people's talents do not detract from your talents. Oh and Hendrix's singing sucks...

MrMattTheKnife 1 year ago
@MrMattTheKnife why are you calling people idiots then if they like hip hop XD. O get where you're going tho. Crap on tv nowadays are really idiots who don't make music at all. But back in the day hip hop was actually music. Real good hip hop beats actually have real bass, guitar, piano and drum tracks in them. I just don't like it when people call names on other people because they love a certain music genre. If I say Run dmc or grandmasterflash, I hope you get the idea why people like hiphop

@TimBirkenholz If you can point me to specific songs by those guys that are good, I'll check them out. To be honest, though, I don't have much hope. I've heard some of their stuff, and it sounded silly. But I'm open to suggestion if you can find songs that are good.

In '68, I saw a mind-boggling concert by Cream in New Haven, CT. At the end of the show, Clapton left his Gibson Firebird leaning up against his stack of Marshalls. I asked one of the Roadies if I could "carefully" check it out. He thought about it for a moment and said "yeah... alright". The strings were almost a half inch off the neck at the octave, and as thick as telephone cables. To this day I have no clue how he played what I heard - whole step bends, vibratos, the works. He's a legend.

Right on about the heavy gauge strings! S.R.V. always used them! Matter of fact,growing up learning to play blues, an older (bro friend) of mine ALWAYS used them! I was a skinny little white boy using (light gauge crap)! It's all about hand strength-much better tone with thicker strings!!
skbricker 11 months ago
A friend of mine got this album in fall of '66 and we used to listen to regularly. He had heard about them... somewhere.. We were 14. It was this and Revolver, the Seeds, Jeff Airplane, The Electric Prunes.... Although this version of Spoonful was not on the American version of Fresh Cream...... In the late '60's, the west coast was the place to be.......

@Aldebaron9 That's interesting. Too, when 16 I got the eight track from my cousin's husband when my family visited them in South Carolina. Her husband was a Highway Patrolman. He got eight tracks from the wrecked car he persued for speeding. When are bell bottoms coming back in style?

@doc998 The speeder was involved in a high speed chase with my cousin's husband who was a member of the Highway Patrol.

@Aldebaron9 in 1966 I think I bought this album???I lived outside SF,CA. It could have been later but I am sure I was in Jr, High. I remember this song cause we were so freaked by the "spoonful". Acid was not addicting, the safe drug. Yes! But not now. Do not drop acid now.

@twoslices and the truth is brother, you had to know somebody who happened to "inside" to who EC was in 1966 to even know about Cream...if you were in middle America it was pure luck you knew they were touring and had the schedule...u probably just ran into them at a gig not knowing who was about to change your life...u have to remember what was going on in 1966. all we do now is laud how great this was. back then you HAD to be a London sound devotee to understand what was coming over in this.
talpajam 2 years ago
@talpajam Didnt quite understand what you were going on about....However, I saw Eric Clapton with John Mayall a few times at Klooks Kleek,The Ricky Tick in Windsor and The Flamingo,and I saw Cream twice at The Marquee club in 1966 and quite a few other places in and around London during 66 and 67.

@talpajam back in the day, I am from CA, what we were listening to out West, people on the East Coast never heard. It was once called "underground" music. You had to get it from someone. I moved East in 70. No one heard of my music. so sad a time. I had my albums.
