Default Led Zeppelin, you’re crap

'Led Zeppelin, you’re crap. You’ve always been crap and you’ll never be anything else'

Quote:
Jack Bruce (above) picked up the Classic Album gong for Cream’s Disraeli Gears at last night's Classic Rock awards.

After the ceremony Dave Ling grabbed Bruce for a quickfire interview – and was stunned when the legendary bassist launched into an extraordinary anti-Led Zeppelin tirade.

Here's a transcript of what transpired…

The million dollar question: Are Cream going to do anything again?
Oh yeah, I’m sure we will. But we’ll have Todd Rundgren [who’s just walked by] in the band by then.

It’s good news that there might be more from Cream.
Well, the trouble is that I’m doing so many amazing things on my own. Cream is just a band from many, many years ago, and we did do something [referring to the reunion shows in 2005]… Everybody talks about Led Zeppelin, and they played one fucking gig – 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.

That’s a bold opinion.
What? You’re gonna compare Eric Clapton with that fucking Jimmy Page? Would you really compare that?

To be fair, they’re different kinds of player, aren’t they?
No! Eric’s good and Jimmy’s crap. And with that I rest my case.
Damn!...

When I grow up, can I be as bitter as this guy?...

I was one of the very few SRV fans in my neck of the woods who actually listened to his music while he was still alive. Then he dies and now everyone and their dog is suddenly an SRV fan who never even heard of him while he was alive. Sometimes the best thing you can do to acheive immortality is to die early. (now if that isn't the paradox of paradoxes)

Me too. I heard him on an AM station out of Austin, and at first I thought they were playing some Hendrix song I never heard, then I thought, this has got to be Hendrix' son or nephew or something taking it to a whole 'nother level.
People were like "Who?" I was like "listen-just listen."

Led Zeppilin is the greatest. Eric Clapton has always been overrated I know. I have been a guitarist for over 40 years. He is a qualified guitarist but he never crreated anything new on guitar. Neither did SRV for that matter. He was good a copying Hendrix. And I do like kistening to him. But Jimmy Page and Hendrix made their own rules. Just like Jeff Beck. These guys are and were innovators. If you really pay attention to Clapton he is actually a pop guitar player. He even could be classified as country in some respects. Lay down Sally isn't rock. He stoled rock songs from Bob Marley. Cocain and I shot the Sheriff were pure rip offs. I could go on but one more thing. Rory Gallagher was rocking Ireland like a real rocker but wouldn't do pop singles for the money.

Jack Bruce is a putz. His only claim to fame is his connection to Clapton. Otherwise he is completely forgettable.
