The Only Decent Guy in Zeppelin Is Dead
11/06/2008
.
(Metal Underground) Cream bassist Jack Bruce recently did a radio interview in which he clarified what he meant by the remarks regarding Led Zeppelin he made at the Classic Rock Awards on Monday night:"I was just having some fun with the press gallery really... being fairly tongue in cheek... The thing about Zeppelin is 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. On the other hand, let's face it: Jimmy Page ain't no Eric Clapton... no matter what anybody thinks." He also had this to say (jokingly) about Zeppelin: "The only decent guy... the one good guy in that band is dead... so what are you gonna do? The trouble is if you say anything about the establishment... In Britain you mustn't criticize the Queen or Led Zeppelin." - more metal news
