  • How in the hell can 6 people dislike this song? Nothing that a fattie can't cure.

  • absolute sickness...can ya dig it!

  • I think Venetian Snares (aaron funk) used this for an album title, rossz csillag alatt született (literally, "bad star birth")

  • 6 deaf people.

  • music from the time before simon cowell and his crummy circus.

  • 3:00 to 3:10 is bluesgasm.

  • Me liked and likes them.

  • PERFECT GUITAR TONE...

  • @ColeDrankWilly I know. I'd like to know how slowhand got so much twang out of beano.

  • @thefaketahare ...a good treble-booster pedal

  • @ColeDrankWilly Theres so much creamyness to it though. Its reedy and dry and chewy but fat and sexual. wtf I'm higggghhh getting an epiphone dot its gonna send my tone skyhigh.

  • this song is messy...

  • Who could dislike this?

  • @MusicIsDeadToday i think pete is almost totally deaf now, man thats fuckin brutal, to be that great a musician and to be deaf! he definitely ruined his hearing over the years, daltry has said hes afraid every time that pete plays live, he fucks up his hearing even more, i dont think he can take the loud amps anymore, what a shame!!!

  • @jroxx11211 Check out Evelyn Glenni, very mostly deaf since age 12, a percussionist who listens by feeling the vibe, most pronouncedly thru her feet. But yeah, it would suck big time, and let that be a lesson to us all, vs assaulting or ears. Or even just being in front of a big wailing amped speaker...what i've felt cant be ... healthy, let's say. music can be healing too tho. Like any such thing, as music, can be a double edged sword

  • @reforest4fertility i'll check her out, thats so cool she overcame her disability and got into music, must be very hard, look at beethoven, he was totally deaf by the time he wrote all his major symphonies, he did it from memory,thats dedication and talent! ive been playing guitar and giong to concerts since i was 16, thats 35 yrs of loud music, plus being a carpenter and using power tools, definitely fucked my hearing up, but whatcha gonna do? i love that music FUCKIN LOUD!!!

  • sho nuff born unner a bad sign

  • pure groove by baker, smashed it.

  • @MusicIsDeadToday I Got to see bonham with zeppelin at the garden in NYC 6/7/77, he was a beast behind those drums, sadly, i didnt get to see moon, i saw one of the first who shows after he died in '78 and kenny jones stepped in, the who was great too but obviously could never be the same without moon the loon behind the kit, definitely the 2 greatest drummers that ever lived! and both died way to young!!

  • @MusicIsDeadToday thats cool bro, i think bonzo was the best anyway, baker wasnt that great!

  • @MusicIsDeadToday he was in blind faith and they had a #1 album in england and the US at the same time!

  • @MusicIsDeadToday black coffee with cream isnt black coffee

  • @MusicIsDeadToday Dude, you have to listen to Baker Gurvitz Army. Ginger Baker isn't just a one-trick pony. He also did some amazing stuff with the Ginger Baker Trio (with Bill Frisell and Charlie Haden) and BBM (Baker, Bruce, Moore), among others.

  • Born under a totally bad-ass sign. Regards, ' 62 Mathew St. (Total Retro Rock)

  • it was just great until they got the supergroup status. then it went to their heads and they went shit. especially clapton. his solo stuff isnt even worth mentioning

  • @drew23ski ; the supergroup "status" was bestowed upon them during the Cream era. Clapton never thought his playing was that great. He listened to live Cream tapes before shows to try to figure out what the audience wanted.

  • @MusicIsDeadToday you' re talking out of your arse mate three legends made up cream!

  • Bullshit

  • Why don't you make this available on mobile devices?

  • just like they all suck when they arent on smak

  • @MusicIsDeadToday What about blind faith?

  • Hmm, needs more cowbell.

  • @MrStuuuupid there is no cowbell. the cowbell is a lie.

  • @MusicIsDeadToday

    Personally I prefer Ginger Baker's solo carreer over Clapton's. Have you seen Ginger Baker's Airforce? While Clapton kinda sold out,

    but "serious matters" on the side, good joke though ^^

  • Best blues rock song ever!

  • my life story song if it wasn't for bad luck i wouldn't have no luck at all, i been down sense i began to crawl , ^5

  • @MusicIsDeadToday no respect...

  • What kind of fuzz? 

  • @joewalshman96 I'm pretty sure its just a Marshall 50 watt combo cranked, no fuzz.

  • Albert wrote and recorded it,and countless thousands of white kids on both sides of the Atlantic were introduced to it,and,indirectly,to him,by this recording. I know this LP like the back of my hand,I still have the vinyl pressing of it from '68, and I just now noticed two things: Baker's drumming is sort of the "soul" beat of the era turned inside out; and Eric's fills never intrude on Jack's vocals (as B.B.'s and Albert's never intrude on their own), as if E.C. and J.B. are sharing a brain.

  • @tuxguys "Born Under A Bad Sign": Music by Booker T Jones, organ/piano w/"Booker T & the MGs", the "Stax" recording band, who played on all of Albert's late-60s crossover hits. Lyrics by great "Stax" records soul singer, William Bell. Produced by Al Jackson Jr, drummer w/Booker & the MGs".

  • @tuxguys Ginger's playing it way James Brown would've had his drummer do it.

  • @lazur1

    Great info, both posts, my compliments. (Incidentally, I sat in with Jabo, JB's drummer, at a gig in Mobile, AL about 30 years ago, and not surprisingly, he, like Baker, played great jazz.)

  • @t:Last I did before finding your response: Listened to 'Dont Cry No More' , Bobby Bland, with Jabo -killing- it. Very 'live'-sounding set, not all that different from Baker's.

  • First time I played collection "Heavy Cream" for a group of stoned buddies at a Marquette High School party which included this masterpiece cover they all owned some vinyl by Cream within the week.

  • fucking fantastic!

  • OK, this is the most butchered song in blues

  • Old Man Again: Cream was the Highest Eric Clapton ever reached...Cream's music trancended R&R...Coccaine????? I Shot The Sherrif  ???? Realy...! He, Ginger and Bruce were the best.... Before heroin...

  • Old Man Again: Cream was the Highest Eric Clapton ever reached...Cream's music trancended R&R...Coccaine????? I Shot he Sherrif ???? Realy...! He, Ginger and Bruce were the best.... Before heroin...

  • takes me way back when !! love it !

  • i love eric i have been a fan for over 35 years theres no one else like him !!!

  • @sundance4400 Hendrix!!!!!

  • @TimMoraal88 i didnt care for hendrix as much as i like eric and his music and bands like traffic, blind faith, cream, etc hes just my favorite thats all although i do love all amazing guitarists dead or alive srv, bb king, santana etc

  • @sun: Hendrix, Clapton, & SRV would've been dramatically different players if they'd never heard & emulated Albert King. Clapton talks mostly about BB King & Buddy Guy lately, but as far as influences you can actually hear in the playing on his best old stuff, it's Albert King, Freddy King, & Otis Rush that made Clapton Clapton. All due credit to him for forging it into his own original style

  • @lazur1 Bout time somebody made some sense out of all this bullshit and their petty arguments! You can hear Albert King's influence is Clapton's "stinging" attack on guitar which was a hallmark of Albert King! Thanks!

  • @konked True, true.

  • @konked True, true.

  • @MusicIsDeadToday Try a little Blind Faith, man!

  • I don't mean to sound like a snob but Albert kings version is honestly way better...

  • @gbennett1987 Really? And now tell us what's better, strawberry or chocolate ice cream? Or maybe that's just a matter of taste as well...

  • @azul8811 VANILLA!!!!!!

  • @azul: You make a good point: Closest thing to resolving matters of taste is agreeing to disagree. But really: When taste in blues is the issue, chocolate's usually better ;-)

  • @MusicIsDeadToday dude that was too funny

  • When I first heard Wheels of Fire in 1973 when I was 13 years old I thought it was so "ground breaking." By the way it was the first L.P. I bought. And it turned out to be by mistake. My brother knew that I liked to play the drums so he suggested Wheels of Fire to me because Billy Cobham was great on the drums. It was suppose to be Birds of Fire by the Mahavishnu Orchestra instead of Wheels of Fire by Cream. He couldn't think of the name of the band, but he thought the album was Wheels of Fire.

  • @jeffreygaudreault But with Ginger Baker on drums, not a bad choice after all :)

  • This is so fucking cash.

  • The blues, as Robert Cray calls it, a gentleman's piss and moan club.

    I LOVES IT!!!

  • @Dougie75348 Ha how would HE know???

  • GOD BLESS THE BOYS

  • Looks like five people were born under a really bad sign....

  • I do like paul rodgers version on the muddy waters cd. if you havn't heard it people then try it. the album is fucking ace

  • This song is so great it reminds me so much of my own self. Definatly up there in my top 10 favorite songs of all time

  • @ Matt74: Look up.

  • Can't decide which version I like best :/

  • no suits and ties...no smiles on their faces...walked out and kicked yer ass... listen to the base line...boom boom boom boom boom.boom! and add ..."i been down since i began to crawl . ...what a hook.. and ginger baker and clapton... every cream tune that jack bruce sang....will kick yer ass..slick

  • Ginger lays down such a fat ass groove on this song, it just blows my mind.

  • Jack is the BEST

  • try hard not to have avisceral reaction to this song you have to at the very least air drum to it

  • Seattle $5 @ Eagles Auditorium and a teenager. Man I'm glad I have lived when I have lived. The best music ever. The little band Blind Faith wasn't too shabby either, nor Derick and the Dominos hahaha.

  • Jack Bruce was Clapton's perfect foil.

  • 4 people don;t know what it's like to be down.

  • Muito bom...

  • Bad luck and trouble been my only friend, i been down ever since i was forty seven...Born under a Baad Siiigggnnnn...

  • great cover

  • The relentless Mr. Ginger Baker......

  • viva le fuzz

  • No one mentioned the cow bell?????????????

  • @paisleyization It's not a cow bell. It's the bell on the ride cymbal. I also hear a tambourine.

  • Story of my life right now .... Sheesh !!!!

  • @jbills2007 Same here.

  • Albert King, just sayin'

  • i want your hand, because hendrix, although amazing, is overhyped and doesnt touch clapton

  • @greasyzach i don't think clapton feel the same about hendrix(sorry for my english i speak french)

  • @greasyzach Hahahahahahahaha!

  • @greasyzach

    Clapton would disagree. There was that one fateful day when Clapton jammed with Hendrix for the first time, and threw his guitar down 15 minutes in, yelling at his manager "You didn't tell me he was that fucking good!"

    True story.

  • @yamamonkey actually your telling the overhyped version of the story all that really happened was clapton stood there and watched he never fainted or went OMG HE IS FUCKING GOOD he just stood back and watched.

  • this song is too true

  • please listen to jimi hendrix version is 10000000 times beter if not i will give you my hand

  • @TheVoodooochile Ugh, one's instrumental and this one isn't, so im calling it a no .... so give us your damn hand

  • @TheVoodooochile Jimi is just letting it flow on his version. This is a SONG. Jimi's is more of him just showing us that he is not only the greatest rock guitarist ever, but also the greatest blues guitarist of all time.  Hands down. Now, Clapton is FUCKING AMAZING, but sadly, still doesn't touch Jimi. Just think of EC as Kobe and Jimi as MJ.

  • that song reminds me of my dad

  • Gingers bell ride is what makes this song...during the verses - how it carries the rhythm chugging along...what a groove mang.

  • Sometimes I feel like this should be my theme song lol..

  • @BONOBOS48 me too lol

  • Fuck yea. This song is an amazing mix of new and old. Love it when Jack Bruce sings "Big fat woman's gonna carry me to my grave". Just awesome

  • @want2beSRV That line's much more believable from Jack than from Albert: It'd be pretty easy for some fat chick to carry skinny little Jack, but Albert was a big, big man. I can't see it happening.

  • @SRV: re: "mix of new & old". Albert's original recording was a considered a drastically new way for blues to be played, just as much as Cream's later version also was. The kicker: Albert's was released in '67, Cream's came out less than 12 months later in '68. So much for "digging way back into the old blues vault" ;-)

  • HEAVY.

  • I can relate to this song.

  • @crashroader i can relate to your relating of this song

  • @shawallabop can you now. . .

  • hey! this vid was uploaded on my 12th birthday!! lol

  • awesomeeeeee

  • Clapton at his best...

  • UUUHHHH!!! so GOOOD!!!

  • this isn't even the original

  • @zues2451997 Oh my god, who cares?! That doesn't make it any less good.

  • @zues2451997 Oh my god, who cares?! That doesn't make it any less good.

  • @ezekialwheel Yeah I'm gettin older by the hour . Anyway Kieth Emerson played keyboards , Carl Palmer , drums , & Greg Lake ,Bass & vocals . They were a true 'Supergroup ' .Dontcha think ??

  • great cover

  • @ezekialwheel freddie king is well underated man, he's a genious. muddy was a full grown m-a-n. i found a record the other day by someone called T-bone walker, you should check him out. i only brought it cos his face looked funky.

  • Eric's really ripping it up on this one!

  • fuck ya

  • @Anonomous108

    one person made a stupid comment about the like/dislike bar.

  • born under a bad sign too. i feel you your pain

  • Next to greg lake ,Jack bruce has the best voice in Rock & Roll . Their also both awesome bass players.

  • not as good as ol' albert

  • @Anonomous108

    STFU.

  • Comment removed

  • Clapton...dude...how do you do that, man?

  • erg saai.....

  • "a big bad woman's gonna carry me to my grave" - can't live without 'em, but they can shorten your life :)

  • Somehow Cream took a song like B.U.A.B.S,and managed to make me feel well,..........every time i hear it . I'm gonna light up,and hear it once more.

  • that proves that covers can be epic

  • My first rock concert was at the Avalon, Cream, John Mayall and the Blues Breakers, Nov 1967. I was 17....Later I and some friends ran the Poppycock in Palo Alto, Ca, High and University ave. 1969. We were 19, we had the place to ourselves!! Those were the days my friends....Lighting Hopkins, Dan Hicks, New riders of the Purple Sage, you name it.....

  • clapton's tone in this song is like, christmas

  • @RugerRedHawk25

    Hahaha, true. It sounds like a horn section in the beginning. I never noticed.

  • @RugerRedHawk25 haha, awesome!!

  • @RugerRedHawk25 yeah, and Jack's bass sounds like it could walk through stone

  • @mccurryburg Man Jack Bruce's bass makes stone crumble to dust. Clapton's slow hands and Bruce's bass..... Only thing that is a bonus at my age is that I got to see them live

  • @simeondark Ditto - they played my college and I stood at the edge of the stage, a few feet from Clapton's knees. They're still paragons of bluesy power. I'm digging my sixties and these guys still move me down to the marrow.

  • What a great blues riff i play this a lot soooooooo coooool !

  • @ezekialwheel check out the gayness that is (ezekialwheel)........ To be blunt, I'm watching this vid because I know how fucking awesome it is. I dont need 13 yr olds sneaking outa bed to post shit on youtube..... I'll give u 1 thing, u do have good music taste!!!!

  • @MrGeltabs this isn't a video

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!  I love Cream!

  • I'm a rock climber, if you hadn't guessed by my handle. There is a pretty darn hard big wall climbing route on Yosemite's most [in]famous big wall named Born Under A Bad Sign, and which I have climbed. Thanks for uploading this!

  • Dope wine and women is all I crave....

  • Hi ezekial.Yes you can type in "four until late" and it pops up, try the first choice,i.e.

    watch?v=W1WZqt6pgLQ

    That should do it for you.This was two years ('66) before Wheels of Fire came out.They really were the hottest thing smoking at the time.

  • hi

  • Ginger's best groove ever!

  • Perfect song!

  • Ungh, DAMN! That voice reeks of sex and swagger.

    It's just... Mm! Damn!

  • after 0:03 I added the song to favorites ;)

  • Search for a version of this traditional blues song played by Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

  • love Clapton's tone and this one, and the solo is awesome as usual!

  • Caution: This song makes the listener feel as bad ass as humanly possible, stay away from sharp objects while raging.

  • @ingeniousblues litteraly was just holding a knife to my wrist and loving it

    i do not condone suicide it kills everyone you love just saying

  • @1foot2winVidMag You have NOT reached the suicide hotline. You are listening to Eric Clapton and Cream on YouTube. Drink some water or gatoraid and watch the most mindless tv ever. The shrooms will stop freaking you out sooner if you do that. Also recommended is a bunch of B vitamins and maybe a small bite to eat., Best wishes. And if Cream makes you hold a knife to your wrist, I don't think you should listen to Dead Label Society.I am serious.

  • That is not Bruce singing!

  • @BonjourHetalia Yes it is. :)

  • @forzamilan189925 wow it doesn't sound like him... cool...

  • @BonjourHetalia Maybe you think it doesn't sound like Jack Bruce because he's singing in a lower register than usual. The guy has an incredible range - either that or he'd been on the Jack Daniels the night before.

  • In a discussion with my fellow classmate i had said that pop artist do not last and she responded by saying they are going to last so i said do you know the Bee Gees? and she said no so i got up and said

    Discussion Over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Clapton was at his best with a Gibson, in my opinion. I'm more of a Strat fan myself, but his guitar playing with Derek and the Dominos and on his solo albums simply never matched his work with Cream.

  • BRUCE IS GOD

  • @tehwasabiking : - )

  • An Albert King original redo by one of the baddest MF power trios ever! Long live Cream and Jack Bruce the underrated Jack Bruce!
