Lex doesnt have a different kind of energy going on...she has a rock n roll soul!
Truth :)
As the AC/DC song said. Girls got rhythm!
True story...
Lucky dude
Amen.
Lex is becoming a pro. Knows good music 20 seconds in!
Imagine listening to all these great classic songs for the first time again tho 😂 I would be the same way I'm pretty sure. I was too young when I first heard these songs to remember my reaction.
Hope they gonna buy a turntable and vinyls one day , so they can smell and listen to vinyl, old school rock n roll
Lex should have married me-Not him!
yep, like she said. sometimes, you just know.
He focuses too much on lyrics.
LEX you are really a child of the 50's growing up to the music of the 60's... You make me smile EVERYDAY!! I'm 73 and am dying of cancer, and you keep me hanging on!!
Makes me happy to know people still have good taste, I'm young but this music has been a huge part of my life! Hope your doing ok man.
Hang in there, Baby!
Right on!!!! Hang on, man!
Sorry to hear that . May you be blessed
God speed friend 🫡
Lex knows good music instantly. She noticed the dramatic opening immediately! Very quick witted.
She's the best reaction person out there by far.
@@johnpeniell9709 I like Lex a lot but she falls just short of Jamel aka Jamal for me personally. He’s another good reaction channel. He’s pretty funny and goes into the lyrics/meaning a lot. He covers a lot of the same songs as Brad nd Lex, like The Who, Bob Seger, Cream etc. Both are awesome of course, I enjoy his reactions a little more though
I literally ran her reaction back three times and about to do it again. She's crazy in a great way. I could see Lex putting up some interpretative dance numbers together for these songs she's finding!
@@allbottledup9513 everyone has their own unique style, just like the bands, that we all love to see one is better than the other misrepresents opinion
Lex bursting out "I love it" as soon as the lyrics came in, and Brad questioning her was just too good. "You love it already???" (0:40) You rock Lex!
Lex didn't even watch the lyrics. Just drop back and ride the vibe. Awesomeness 😄
@@jeffparker6844 she’s hot too
Brad can't love anything until he can read the lyrics and interpret them. He doesn't hear or feel music. It's just noise to him.
@@Danimal77...Yeah he should just stick to poetry.
@@Danimal77 unfortunately, he grew up on rap and it shows… give him time to hear real music, and he’ll know the difference and feel it as well
For me, the greatest thing about this song is Ginger Baker's drum work. Listen to it again and concentrate on the drums. Outstanding.
I always thought of this as a drum song, even with the great Clapton doing guitar.
Absolutely, the drums are the best part!
Yes! I don’t think that he has ever been given enough credit for his work! There aren’t drummers like that today! I like to call them very musical drummers! On a different level
Did you see that documentary on hima few years back? it was really good, even though i dont remember it well.
@@dorianleakey I’ve actually watched it a couple of times. Seems a bit like a miserable old man. Kind of sad. Interesting and a great drummer. Just didn’t seem to do well with people. Living in Africa.
Lex always impresses me with her breakdown. She really has an ear for what the artists are doing.
Lex always gets it. Brad switch your brain off; sometimes there's nothing to figure out.
It's hilarious. Lex always gets it right away, and grooves to it ... and Brad looks like he's trying to figure it all out, with a look of anguished puzzlement on his face ... Rock 'n Roll isn't a test .... it's music to make you feel good, without having to think a lot ... you just groove to it and forget about trying to figure out every little word or sound ...
Amen it come natural to some
Bless you. 👍🏽
anguished puzzlement is the least of his worries with these songs, lol.
you cannot fake the funk, he does not understand the feeling. i love her reactions get it young lady.
Well said
Gotta love early Clapton... I second those that suggested Sunshine Of Your Love, Crossroads, and Strange Brew
Tales of Brave Ulysses.
Cream,Led Zep, Floyd ... We gonna get Hendrix and Jethro Tull soon
Early Clapton was sessions and The Yardbirds!
@groovytankmain420 5th Beatle was Billy Preston, Eric was 6
The power of Clapton's solo... is so full and satisfactory
You 2 are the most honest reaction team on the web. Genuine responses. Others seem staged or just fake.
Personal note to Brad: ever let go of Lex. Never. You are a lucky man. Follow her lead to have fun in life and enjoy the fabulous experiences of the world. Never let her go.
Fr she's a real ass person! And any man would kill for a woman like that.
Claptons guitar, ginger on drums, Jacks thumping on base…….Magic!!!!!!!!
That sound you said you loved is simply Eric Clapton on the electric guitar. He's magic.
@Johnny Cooper - he is not. Where do you come up with that bullshit?
@@williamh4172 everybody is a nazi these days 😆🤣😂
@@williamh4172 Young Clapton WAS amazing. Trt listening to Crossroads live, or anything from his Derek and the Dominoes era. Theres a reason he's the only person inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 3 times for his work with different bands. And why he was almost a Beatle before they broke up. But yeah, nothing special.
@@WhizzingFish12 - I know, I'm quite familiar with all of his work. I believe he is still amazing. My comment was in response to some clown saying that he's a white supremacist. Speak out against the narrative and this is what happens.
@@williamh4172 Anyone using terms like ´white supremacist´or ´white privilege´ disqualifies himself automatically. No time for such rubbish.
such an amazing song!!!...next "Sunshine of your love" please!!!!
Lex has a 60's and 70's soul! Cream were the first rock supergroup and had 3 members.
Now I know why relationships are so hard. You guys just showed us! Brad wants to know "What are you telling me?" Lex is simply focused on HOW you're saying it!
After SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE , this was the band's second huge hit . It fried alot of minds that were more used to Elvis Presley .
Lex would go nuts for this one
@@ck240sx definitely, I hope they listen to it too.
Lots of pop on the radio at the time, Cream was a welcome change from that.
When Eric Clapton is giving us decorating recommendations and Jimi Hendrix was his biggest fan. He was doing something right. Lex was at Woodstock in a past life for sure.
Yes, and she didn’t need any drugs!
Clapton was a fan off Hendrix, Clapton had seen Hendrix playing in a London club and knew he was no longer a gitar rock god.
@@love-vy1ry story goes that an RnB great was staying at same hotel as Clapton, heard him practising and went to to find the soul brother…
He should of included some fly screens on the windows though...
Damn, I wish I said that.
In a Songfacts interview with Pete Brown, he told the story: "It was a meandering thing about a relationship that I was in and how I was at the time. It was a kind of watershed period really. It was a time before I stopped being a relative barman and became a songwriter, because I was a professional poet, you know. I was doing poetry readings and making a living from that. It wasn't a very good living, and then I got asked to work by Ginger and Jack with them and then started to make a kind of living.
And there was this kind of transitional period where I lived in this actual white room and was trying to come to terms with various things that were going on. It's a place where I stopped, I gave up all drugs and alcohol at that time in 1967 as a result of being in the white room, so it was a kind of watershed period. That song's like a kind of weird little movie: it changes perspectives all the time. That's why it's probably lasted - it's got a kind of mystery to it.”
So the truth is the meaning is best known to Pete Brown, but the thing that Brad needs to keep in mind, especially with music of the sixties, is that the meanings of many songs are vague and esoteric and it’s best to not get too hung up on them. The lyrics can be deep, they can be meaningful and they can also be the product of some drug-addled state of mind bullshit. In the case of White Room, the musicianship is the thing that makes this so memorable from the power of the Ginger Baker’s drumming to Clapton’s overdubbed guitars and wah-wah, to Jack Bruce’s driving baseline, it’s the seminal performance from the original power trio.
True that, the musicianship is so tasty, but the words wrap around it like a boa constrictor lovingly caressing it's prey, but not to hard mind you...just enough to say "honey, I'm home"
"Sometimes you just know" was also what I thought the first time my dad showed me Cream and Clapton.
I listened to Cream a lot when I was in high school! Strange Brew and Wrapping Paper pop in my head all the time! Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker had a big sound for a three man band!
Getting high right now
Jerry Archer yep
Somebody else that enjoys "Wrapping Paper". YES !
@@billbeliakoff5589 Hahaha!! When someone mentions the band Cream it’s the first song that comes to mind!
@@christym1974 It's my 2nd fav after "I Feel Free"
This song has been on the radio all my life and I still have no clue what it’s about and I don’t even care. Just good vibes, I agree, Lex
...Me either!...but it does sound good Dee
I'm 53 and have been listening to rock all my life. Even if I could tell what they're saying, a lot of the time it doesn't make sense - and it doesn't matter. Robert Plant is the James Brown of rock but of course I love him 😂😂
I love watching Lex feel the music! And Brad …. well there’s Brad.
haha... right on
lol
Well, there has to be someone to fill the left side of the screen, and he does a good job of that.
@@ianbrooke6342 ...Are you really sure about that?? He's running the pause button.
ya ,,NOT ever much from him ...Dead Head that he is !!!!
Jack Bruce and Pete Brown - a great song-writing combination, and that drumming! The genius of Ginger Baker. Clapton on guitar - perfection. Lex picked it out as a classic in seconds.
Folks, if you ever have one of those days, come here and watch literally ANY of their reactions...Lex will always lift your spirits. I LOVE these two!!
"Badge" is another great song of theirs. Deceptively simple but magnificent.
Co-written by George Harrison and the word Bridge on the music score was misread as Badge and the name stuck
@@ChrisDunlop67 By Eric who said What is it Badge? George renamed it Badge.
@@michaelboyce9373 he read it upside down from across a table.
Brad - "you love it already?" - Be careful man - she knows!! Lex - you've really got it.
Lex, you nailed the guitar sound. Clapton used a pedal to create those "wah" sounds. It alters the tone as he works the pedal and sometimes creates a "hollowed out" tone. I personally think the lyrics are about the oldest topic in music. Lost love and sadness (vss 1&2), and then finding a new love (vs 3).
I'm not sure i've ever disliked a song with wah-wah in it
I agree that the song is about a girl her description at first was horses and moon beams, then the hurt. then the new description of yellow tigers crouching in jungles, as if waiting to ambush.
@@ugaladh kirk wahmett
Lex, 25 seconds in "I love it". She knows good music already 👍
Gotta do Strange Brew!!! Honestly the whole album (Disraeli Gears) is legendary but its that first track that crops up in my head the most.
I'd go with "Tales of Brave Ulysses" from Disraeli Gears, and "Badge" from Goodbye Cream.
Strange brew and tales of brave Ulysses are my two favorites
@@that44rdv4rk was going to mention the tiny purple fishes run laughing through my fingers.
@@clous081
My favorites too! This record is so great!!! I listen to it all the time.
Maybe the greatest album of all time GEARS!!!
The music was by the Scottish bass player Jack Bruce, who was singing on this song, and words by his usual lyrics partner poet Pete Brown, who is English. The drummer was Peter ‘Ginger’ Baker and the guitarist Eric Clapton.
"Oscillating inside of itself" is exactly right, because the guitar was being played through a wah-wah pedal, which alters the tone as its rocked back and forth by the player.
CREAM is part of the soundtrack of my life! SO many GREAT songs!
Besides Eric Clapton on guitar, you have one of the greatest drummers EVER in Ginger Baker and spooky vocals and bass from Jack Bruce!
They really were the Cream of the crop!
Yessss!! Now you're into Clapton. Guitar deity. 🙏
And Ginger on those drums does not hurt! Total jam
Ginger Baker is one of my alltime favorite madmen. Have you heard his African Force album?
...dont forget Bruce....the original "supergroup"
Bruce on bumping bass accompanied with his magnificent voice…yes!
Who sang and played bass?
@@mochiebellina8190 Jack Bruce, great singer
Lex got it absolutely right (as usual). That oscillating sound you heard was Eric Clapton playing a guitar that's going through a wah wah peddle. Every time you step down on the wah wah, it gives the guitar that kind of oscillating sound. Great job!
Peace
As good as Clapton's guitar is in this tune, Ginger Baker's drumming is out of this world!
The song is so good that it's tough to focus on Gingers brilliant drumming. But if you do focus on it, you will realize how great he really is. RIP Ginger, you crazy old maniac.
@Biggie: C'mon, man! You are so RIGHT! Ginger's playing is an example of playing only what's needed in a song; real musicians don't NEED to "hotdog". Ginger's hi-hat technique blows me away in this song as well as his syncopation, stings and accents. Young up-and-coming players would do well to study Ginger; their playing would greatly benefit.
@@user-ee2dj3sw2l , ya know something, seeing these reaction videos and with better sound equipment and masters, I am picking up on things that "back in the day" I missed, due to inferior audio quality, like bad radios, AM, original masters, etc. Now I hear things that blow me away, and in this case I also watched a video of "White Room" live and my eyes told my ears to pay more attention...🤔
Oh yes Lex...the way you reacted to this song was the way I reacted to it when it first came out in 1968. It still sounds so fresh and awesome now. You are a rock goddess now Lex and Brad is on his way .I really love your reactions and dig your channel. Peace and love 👍✌️🤘
The first super group, high quality music from a proper band.
I love how Lex is IMMEDIATELY all in, like this this is her jam, 100%.
Lex has it nailed! "I’m feelin’ some drugs…hippie vibes". The words make more sense when LSD is applied. Cream is a great band. The first supergroup. More, please, I feel my youth returning.
Lex is feeling it .. she’s a rocker through and through !! Love it
Lex has gift for description."His voice sounds like a pair of old leatherboots"
"This sounds like carpet. Warm and comforting,but a little crispy on the outside".
Love it. Dont stop. More.
Clapton is the goat! He can literally play everything psychedelic, blues, rock n roll, soul and reggae! He kills this song!
The drummer lived right down the road from my house several years back. RIP Ginger Baker!
A perfect “hippie drug vibe” for Lex would be Robin Trower’s Bridge of Sighs.
Trower 🤘
Too Rolling Stoned for the win!
Yep
loved the Album but saw them live few times and thetywere dire...so stoned they could'nt play
@@Flare4roach too f..king right 👍👍
She actually nailed it the wah pedal gave the guitar that oscillating sound... an acid Trip!!!
Brad perceives the music via his ears and his brain analyses it out of sight, while Lex absorbs it through her whole being and responds physically immediately 😎.
You guys have the best reactions vids ever 🤗👍.
It means Lex has a very high IQ !!
I love lexs reaction to every song
Agreed; cause she cares. And is alive.
She nailed it!!! Psychedelics, hippies,.... and 1968
When they dropped this song in the new Joker movie it was perfect. He’s in the cop car watching mayhem go on everywhere around him.
It just makes your ears feel good and you don't even have to know why!
Try “Badge”…gorgeous song.. the first real power trio.. with a 20 something Eric Clapton on guitar
.."I feel free", Swlabr", "Tales of Brave Ulysees" some of my favorites, but, its all good
Quite possibly my favorite Cream tune, yeah.
Badge is written by Eric Clapton and George Harrison & George guests on guitar on Cream's "Badge" recording - something which was reciprocated when Eric guested on the Beatles "While my Guitar Gently Weeps."
"Gorgeous" is an accurate description for Badge. Heard it a few years ago and thought "How the fugg did these guys not become legendary?!". Then I found out it was Cream and was like "nevermind". It's a time machine song fo sho.
Ginger Baker one of the greatest drummers of all time!!! 🥁👌
"Whatever instrument that was, that was crackin"🤣
It's kind a weird when you reckon that this track is more than 50 years old. Sounds still very fresh and relevant. Loved both your reactions.
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more Cream plz. keep it up guys!!! I'd suggest tales of brave ulysses, sunshine of your love, crossroads, or strange brew
Tales of Brave Ulysses is a great one.
Politician…
Deserted cities
Lex would totally fit into the 1960's! otal flower child !!
Cream are the cream! Sunshine of your love, Strange Brew. ✌🌼
I love watching Lex's reactions! She's so joyful!
Growing up in the late 60's /early 70's was amazing. Truly the love era.
Lex, after 3 seconds:I love it!!...
Brad: how can you love it after 3 seconds??
Lex: sometimes, you just know!!...
yup, Lex is a straight metalhead... 🌷🔥💖😎🤘
6:36 Proof positive Lex should be the reference reviewer for every song ever made. Spot on observation. Love it.
Loved this reaction. Lex got it right - Cream is 100% of the hippie scene. The members were some of the best musicians. The guitarist, Eric Clapton is a brilliant artist - though he is a horrible, truly terrible person - don't look him up; it will only depress you. And the drummer, Ginger Baker, is legit legendary. He was huge in jazz as well. Because they're so psychedelic, it's hard to be sure what any of their songs are about. I think this one is about a long-distance relationship - maybe a kind of "commuter" relationship. It talks about meeting and saying goodbye to a lover at a train station. Gives the impression that it's an ongoing thing, maybe. Talks about meeting this person at a party, falling love, getting over past heartbreak. It seems to blend the lines between what it's like to be with this person intimately and what it's like to be waiting among the crowds at that train station all the time. This is one of my favorites from this period. I like the way each verse sounds like a poem, almost like haiku (though not real haiku poetry).
I played lead guitar in road bands during the 70's and 80's. It is obvious that Lex is a natural musician. She moves with the beat while feeling all the other sounds so she thinks in 3D spatial terms.
Lex’s energy 📈 My love for her 📈😍
Such a cute laugh
Jack Bruce a legendary bassist.
She totally gets my favorite music. Watching that young lady get 'turned on and tuned in' makes living a bit more bearable
🤗
Cream was basically a some of the premiere brit blooze players of that era getting together to expand their horizons. They did a lot of psychedelic stuff, White Room being pre-eminent.
The first rock Supergroup - the best of the best in 1965 - the “Cream” of the crop! You’ve probably heard of Eric Clapton on guitar 🎸. Jack Bruce on bass and lead vocals. Ginger Baker on drums. The key inspiration for all hard rock bands that followed.
That track is 54 years old and it is still phenomenal great reaction folks👍👍👍👍👍👍
That, my man, is poetry of the most eloquent order set to music. In a word: sublime.
heck she's astute, with many tracks, she reacts at those special places in the music that touches and gets you. She's definitely got the vibe and feeling! Wow. Switched on girl.
Never get tired of hearing this song great instruments great voices
Lex is an "Old Soul" and more specifically an "Old Soul Classic Rocker"..... I love watching her smile and facial expressions when she is feeling the song. Nice reaction once again !
This is more of a "feel" song than a "meaning" song, a poem with a story one can only feel.
Lex got it. It's trippy. And Jack Bruce on vocals switches it up. Great voice. Thank you.
One of THE BEST JAMS EVER 🎸 🙌🏻💜
Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton. Freaking Badass. Love Ginger's drums at the end with Clapton's solo. So Good.
Agreed, total vibe song. I’ve listened to it for years and have no clue what’s it’s about and I don’t care. It’s just good vibes.
Totally agree. Always loved it, never did catch the words.......till Brad and Lex streamed them. Then Oh - I'm getting a linear story.
I’m with Alex here. She is totally feeling the trip here, late 1960s. I’ve heard White Room a hundred times over 50 years and it never grows old.
God I was so lucky to be a teenager in this era, there was all the history of European symphonic music and jazz and blues and then rock came along.
One of the best songs of all time, let alone from Cream
Lex's reactions are wholesome 💎🖤😁
Straight psychedia by 3 of the greatest musicians in rock history - Clapton, Bruce, and Baker. They pushed the crap out of each other musically.
Lex loves her wah-wah pedal on the guitar...know this!
Ever heard Tracy Chapman? Fast cars for you and mountain of things great songs but that whole albumn is a masterpiece with life messeges she is one of my favorite sings and writers of all time
I loved her whole first album, every song, especially “Fast Car”. “Give me one reason” is my favorite song by her.
@@baileybowman2449 for you is the song that gets me the line no longer the master of my emotions and that verse then fast cars then mountain of things then talkin about a revolution but another song she wrote for another album is another sun but sade is the female vocalist I hold above all others
Cream is one of the all time great Acid Rock bands.
One of the best drumming tracks ever. Also from the point the long pause hits into the fading solo at the end? I wanna be buried to this song. It’s like a farewell at the end of a film. Genius
Eric Clapton and his wah-wah pedal Lex. Three man band and unfortunately two have since passed away (Ginger Baker - drums, Jack bruce - bass and lead vocals). If you are interested check out their reunion concert Cream Live at the Royal Albert Hall. You'll love it.
Brad: So,what are you feeling?
Lex: Drugs.😂
Lmao
😂
Guitar through a wah-wah pedal...Lex has great insight and feeling for the music. Well done, Lex.
You go Lex! I like the way you absorb the energy instead of analyzing it first. Keep up the nice work folks.
Yep. Play jazz influenced bass on a rock song and it pulses. Spot on, Lex.
You gotta hear them live. They were one of the kind! Plus watching Ginger playing 'Crossroads' all in sweat and with crazy eyes is lifetime experience :)
What?!! You do know that there last live concert was in 1968, don't you? In the UK. I agree with your statement, but damn.
@@patpulis9922 I was thinking: live recordings, not actual concerts, I mean: it's rather obvious they won't be playing together on this side of eternity any more.
It’s amazing how just three people could make such great music.
One of the all-time great songs and bands from my era! The wah wah was hitting its stride in this one. Ginger Baker had the drums really going.
You 2 are perfect together, listening with 2 different ears. But thinking together with one mind.
The 'guitar' sound was Eric Clapton playing through a wah-wah pedal to give a 'talking' effect. The tune was composed by Jack Bruce (vocals and bass) but the lyrics were written by Pete Brown, a performance poet, who also sang with his own band 'Pete Brown & His Battered Ornaments' until that 'ensemble' threw him out of his own band, whereupon he formed Pete Brown & Piblokto!
Lex you are both amazing and beautiful. You possess the innate soul of a natural poet.
Lex at 2:38! So much communication with 0 words. Love these two reactors.
Strange Brew is another great Cream tune. Great band. Takes me back to when I was a kid and all the teenagers were blasting this vinyl. Oh yeah, and drugs.
