βάλαμε την λεζάντα στα αγγλικά οπως την "πείραμε" απο NME News.
Ο Jack Bruce βρίζει τους Led Zeppelin με χυδαίο τρόπο (κατά την αποψή μας)Νομίζω δεν επιτρέπεται να βρίζονται καλλιτέχνες και πολυ περισσότερο οταν μιλάμε για τους Led Zeppelin και τους Cream.
Σε συνέντευξη του ο Bruce μπασίστας των Cream έδωσε στον Dave Ling του Classic Rock Magazine που ούτε λίγο ουτε πολυ διαμαρτυρεται επειδή ενω το 2005 έκαναν επανένωση οι Cream κανείς δεν αναφέρθηκε στο γεγονός .ενω τα "μεσα" ενδιαφέρθηκαν για τους Zeppelin και την επανενωσή τους διαβάστε παρακάτω στην Αγγλική αυτά που είπε ΕΜΕΙΣ ΔΙΑΦΩΝΟΥΜΕ ΤΟ ΤΟΝΙΖΩ.ΔΕΝ ΜΙΛΑΜΕ ΕΤΣΙ ΓΙΑ ΕΝΑ GROUP ΟΠΩΣ ΟΙ Led Zeppelin.
"Everybody talks about LED ZEPPELIN, and they played one
fucking [reunion] gig [at London's O2 in December 2007] — one fucking lame gig —
while CREAM did weeks of gigs; proper gigs, not just a
lame gig like ZEPPELIN did, with all the [vocal] keys
lowered and everything. We played everything in the original keys. [Becoming
animated]: Fuck off, ZEPPELIN, you're crap. You've always
been crap and you'll never be anything else. The worst thing is that people
believe the crap that they're sold. CREAM is 10 times the
band that LED ZEPPELIN is."
This morning (Wednesday, November 5), Jim
Johnson (a.k.a. J.J.) and Lynne
Woodison of the Detroit rock station 94.7 WCSX called
Jack at his home in London gave him an opportunity to
clarify his comments.
"I was just having
some fun with the press gallery, really," he said. "[I was being] fairly tongue
in cheek, but it's also the truth…. I mean, obviously, those gigs that we did
are now three years ago, so it's ancient history now. And they did do that gig,
but they also hijacked that gig 'cause that was supposed to be a tribute for Ahmet [Ertegun; the late founder of
Atlantic Records and mentor to many music icons], and we
were going to be playing it, 'cause it was gonna be at the [Royal] Albert Hall,
and it was gona be all sorts of people — the [ROLLING] STONES and all sorts of people were going to be playing —
but then they kind of hijacked the gig and made it into a ZEPPELIN gig, and Eric [Clapton; CREAM guitarist/vocalist]
and me decided that we didn't want to be a part of it — 'cause it moved to the
O2, which is a quite large venue in London. And we thought it had gone in the
wrong direction for us as a tribute to Ahmet . . . 'Cause
we were really happy to be doing it, and it was going to be fun, because Ginger [Baker; CREAM drummer] was going to come from South Africa. And then
Eric called me up and said, 'What do you think about
doing this now that they're moving it to O2?' And I said, 'Well, I'm not very
happy about doing that.' Because I don't really see CREAM
in a place like that. We are more of an intimate sort of a band. We don't like
playing vast places. The Garden is about our limit."
Bruce continued, "The thing about ZEPPELIN is that obviously it's a little bit of jealousy on
my part — or more than a little bit — because the audience was created by CREAM and JIMI HENDRIX… this sort of
very large audience… Then ZEPPELIN came along and had a
very easy ride in that way. We were the pioneers and pioneers don't always get
the recognition they deserve, maybe. But, on the other hand, it was true that
they didn't play [the songs at the O2 concert] in the original key, and let's
face it: Jimmy Page ain't no Eric
Clapton… no matter what anybody thinks. . . I mean, the only decent guy, the
one good guy in that band is dead… so what are you gonna do? [Laughs]"
He added, "You know my sense of humor… I
have a terrible sense of humor. . . I was just having some fun. The trouble is
if you say anything about the establishment… In Britain, you mustn't criticize
the Queen or LED ZEPPELIN,
basically."
When asked for his opinion on
the possibility of LED ZEPPELIN going out on the road
with someone other than Robert Plant on vocals, Bruce replied, "Well, I always thought Robert Plant used the wrong kind of fertilizer, anyway, so I
think he might be an improvement… I'm just joking. Robert
is one of the all-time, if not THE all-time, great rock singer — I'm not in that
league; I'm more of a blues-type singer — and good luck to him."
