Interview from 1991

[jamesheath]

Amazing guitarist
Amazing bassist
Amazing drummer
Brilliant band

[monty]

For my money, the greatest trio ever.

[johnn.]

A blip of two years as a band, and they're still one of the best bands that's ever been. So, yea. They've stood the test of time...

[Chappomusic]

Ginger was right when it comes to know if Cream will stand the rest of time. He was right . As he was often when it comes to music . Great man .

[stuartberesford]

Amazing what they achieved in the brief time they were together. Especially compared to the output of today’s artists.

[noelstaar]

First time I"ve ever heard GB speak positively about something

[geraldhenrickson]

I liked them then and...I like them now. A mainstay of music.

[maximilliancunningham]

Thanks Ginger, for all that you gave.

[fossilmatic]

So many have tried to replicate it, but never managed to get the elements, context or serendipity right. That’s why they are remembered and cherished… and dissed too😅.

[gerardgough]

Just enjoy the music folks- marvellous

[Smokey_da_Bear]

Ginger made the drums talk. Jack made the bass talk. Eric made the guitar talk. It was 2 thirds improvisational jazz, 1 third electric blues, and another third (impossible, I know) shear balls.

[andyzehner]

Oh, yeah. I just never can get enough of that "Sleepy Time Time."

[stlrockn]

One of my great disappointments in life is that I never got to see them live .

[craigalden]

The test of time? That's funny...
For the Original, and decades later still the greatest power trio and 'Supergroup' of all time, with all three members being brilliant virtuoso musicians.

[michaeldavid]

"It did. And it will." Amen.

[alanwann]

Watching cream live bootlegs here on Y.T. Clapton just after the Beano album is shattering thr 3 are, well cream

[MrFchank]

The best three piece rock band of all time. Sit down and listen to Wheels of Fire, from start to finish, and you'll know I'm right!!

[pabloperez]

Of course they stood the "test of time". But nowadays, the reality of current music is the factor which is making every band of the 60, s (not onlt the best ones), stand it. There is nothing good today😔

[wecandobetter]

Clapton got sick and tired of all the drama between the other two

[tattyshoesshigure]

Truly great band whose phenomenal live performances have become the stuff of legend! I think Stigwood may have toured them rather too intensively in the U.S., which must have exhausted them. Eric has always been a restless soul musically, so I guess he would have left at some point anyway! ❤
