Members crossroads69 Posted May 3, 2005 Members Share Posted May 3, 2005 Strange guitar choice by EC....i mean i knew that 99% he would play a strat irrespective of how much we wopuld have loved a gibson and marshall stack but this particular black one...... It reminds us of blackie.....which brings back pictures of solo EC in the 72-85 period which ws very non-Creamy.My bet was he'd use of those psychedlic graffiti crashocasters...in fact there was an article in Guitar magazine last yr showing that EC had about 10 of these graffiti strats painted by various artists....that would have gone much better with CREAM....... 3 more shows to go......lets see if we see anything else.

Members darkest_fugue Posted May 3, 2005 Members Share Posted May 3, 2005 i saw jack bruce singing sunshine and the white room on the guitar legends expo 92...his voice was tired he was slightly off pitch with his fretless bass at times...the worst of it though was phil manzanera who was playing guitar with him.....his solo in the white room was so incredibly {censored} i thought jack bruce was going to run across the stage and stick the neck of his bass up phil's ass......its a hoot.....i wouldnt pay that kind of money to see anyone.... not even if i could sit on the stage....not even if they set up in my living room....im not that fond of clapton anyway..listening to brian may dave gilmour mark knophler and brian setzer all my life clapton though very good sounds a bit predictable to me....people are people though...theyll pay whatever for their trip back down memory lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would improvise away until they remembered how they started, then they would wrap it up. The new Cream is apparently delivering tight, focused, shorter versions of Crossroads, White Room, Sunshine, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When asked what plans for the future, he said Waters was working on some solo stuff but that he was most excited about the Cream Reunion and already had his tickets.

Damn, Ginger doesn't look a day past 100! lolMan, not seing him being a kit of Ludwigs with 2 bass-drums just ain't the same.I also kind of wished that Jack would bring back his Gibson SG Bass. Awesome tone! Eric should have played a 335 or at least a LesPaul. Crossraods on Wheels Of Fire is awesome. Eric plays a mean solo in there. But Jack Bruce makes that song!!! Whenevr I listen to the song, I almost only listent to the Bass....and I'm a guitarist!!!No wonder Ginger once said that he was lucky to have 2 lead guitarists in his band!

Members crossroads69 Posted May 4, 2005 Members Share Posted May 4, 2005 I was too hopimg to see EC get the gibbys out but from what i get reading the reviews,his tone is thick an creamy and thats what matters....so if he can get it out from his strat why not?he's always spoken that he finds it much much more comfortable.......maybe he's now just not used to having heavy les pauls over his shoulder for two hrs!! but then his tone kinda sucked at the John Mayall 70th bday bluesbreakers concert.......it was that typical strat neck tone oh so different from that "Beano" album.that was one time i wish he had gone for a les paul and marshalls!! Some reviewers say crossraods was a slow blues version(EC past 1970) whereas some say it was similar to the CREAM version.......I want the latter!!

Members ZenFly Posted May 5, 2005 Members Share Posted May 5, 2005 Lets hope the DVD is in DTS ES and widescreen! I can't wait. I'm esspecially happy that they are doing "odd" songs like "Pressed Rat..." That band was (and is) the true some of their parts. BTW, you can get that tone off of just about any guitar these days...I believe his strats may have "Stacked" humbuckers..add a bit of overdriven distortion....back off the tone knob....and add EC voila..CREAM. We still play a couple of tunes from them in our cover band: Strange Brew Outside Woman Blues Sunshine of your Love and Crossroads (duh)... Lots o fun. I remember paying 5 or 6 bucks to see the Who in 1970..my first concert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
