Controversial Opinions

Pedal hoarding is OK hoarding

[Chankgeez]

Blues is the death of electric guitar. A famous/respected guitarist entering their 'blues phase' is the point to stop buying their albums. Eric Clapton has been shite since Cream for this very reason. That and his racism.

Wouldn't it mean that Cream is shite too since he was in a band called "the Bluesbreakers" before that?

[BetterOffShred]

Blues is the musical equivalent of Phoenix or Florida.. you get old, you move somewhere comfortable.

[Chankgeez]

So, you're sayin' he was old, he got young again and then he once again got old?

[MechaGodzilla]

Also blind faith, layla, 461 ocean blvd are all great records and not 100% strict blues.

I think Wendy’s is better than In and Out. There... I said it...

Controversy pt 2: Ginger Baker was the only redeeming feature of Cream. Cream were a bit on the shite side.

[Chankgeez]

No argument there.

(Jack Bruce falls somewhere between shite and redeeming.)

[Dapper Bandit]

Jack Bruce is the wild card, for sure. I read an interview with him once where he described Cream as a group formed by him and Ginger to trick Clapton into joining a jazz trio, so he deserves props for that.

The documentary on Ginger is completely worth a watch even though he is objectively a terrible person. When asked about John Bonham's abilities he replied "Swing? He couldn't swing a bag of shit."

i like I/O sandwiches better, but IMO their fries are terrible. given that i'm in VA now it's not like i have a choice anyway.

the guys I know that actually play traditional blues treat Clapton somewhere between a joke and a bad word. His Robert Johnson album seemed to really offend them...

male pattern baldness is the new mohawk and shred is the new punk rock.

But you're not allowed to question the mighty Zep, the prowess of any member at any instrument can never be ranked lower than godlike! And you're certainly not allowed to mention that whole "Jimmy Page kidnapped a 14 year old girl" thing. Mudsharks are fine though.

Didn't know he did a Johnson album, that must be awwwful.

Don't tell your friends about this beauty, then
