    The trouble with the band Cream is that despite all being brilliant musicians and they really were.. They didn't get on with each other.. Well mostly Ginger and Jack.
    Eric was happy to just go along with it all.. It's such a shame because they were definitely England's first supergroup and us fans would have loved to see a few more years out of the band.. I don't know enough about Jacks character. Some say he wasn't an easy guy to get on with.. Despite being an exceptional bassist and vocalist.. But from everything I have read and heard about Ginger... Again despite being one of the best rock /blues /jaz drummers we had ever seen and heard he was a hard person to get along with

      The fact that they all did speed back then to get through the grind would not have contributed much in terms of getting along. Crashing on speed is brutal and having to be locked into a tour for months would have been over the top brutal. This was not unique to them. Speed was pretty common back then an most bands did it to be able to survive the grind of the road.

    pleased to hear Eric say what he did about the post-Waltz Band
    saw them half a dozen times, mostly in small venues, twice w/in 20 yards
    and fully agree with what he says here ...
    2 person marriages take care, patience, effort to sustain, it ain't easy
    the divorce rate is what it is for real reasons, triangles are even harder
    a band on the road is a 3, 4, 5 or whatever #persons marriage
    so no surprise the divorce rate is what it is, &
    even the kindest+closest split up
    bands that last for decades impress me, & even those have casualties

    So Baker and Bruce already couldn’t stand each other before Cream was even conceived. That I did not know. Thank goodness they got past it. Because as decent a singer as Clapton is, Jack Bruce was far superior. Without that voice, the band would not have been nearly as successful

      Jack and Ginger were actually in a band together before Cream. They hated each other so much even then that Ginger had threatened Jack with a knife once. Nevertheless, they agreed to try to work together again as Cream because they respected each other's talent. They tolerated each other for the music--or maybe it was the money and fame.

    Only trio in rock to be in the same thoughts would be Jimi. But-What Cream had was both respected- and seasoned jazz musicians who were trained on ensemble playing. So in my opinion the -interaction between Eric, Jack and Ginger was (and never will be surpassed ) in the realm of rock and blues. They were a rather loud jazz trio - with a touch of amplification …What a wonderful time to be exposed to a remarkably great band as the beginning guitarist. ❤

      Not taking anything away fror Eric, but he was not a jazz guitarist, such as a John McLaughlin was.. Eric at that time period basically was copying Freddie King and as Eddie Kramer said in Mojo Magazine years ago, Eric was fortunate that hardly anyone had heard Freddie King and his aggressive style of playing either. Jack and Ginger were trained jazz musicians. You all should listen to Brian Auger and the late Chris Squire speak about the impact that Hendrix had on Clapton, Beck. Alvin Lee when he first arrived. Here was a black American playing black American music and therefore, he could get deeper into that style of American blues that English boys could who got their blues by listening and copying American blues musicians,

    Eric pushed a blues based agenda in the beginning - I still think Fresh Cream was their best album. After that the messing started with a greedy management trying to move them to a pop agenda. They were always a well oiled machine and did some great music.
