Cream's Jack Bruce: 'Fuck off, Led Zeppelin, you're crap'

Jack Bruce isn't impressed with Jimmy Page's guitar playing

I don't think you can compare Clapton and Page as guitarists. Clapton is almost exclusively a blues/r&b player, whereas Page turned his hand to many different styles with Led Zeppelin. In terms of playing live, Clapton was more about feeling than speed, and in my opinion he seemed to able to always play the right note at the right time. Page was a better out-and-out rock guitarist and riffmaker, and his sloppyish playing seemed to suit Zeppelin's live playing. I love Cream and Led Zeppelin, but my preference is for Page. It just seems a shame that Jack Bruce had to stick his oar in like that. Fuck knows what his problem is. They're both among the greatest rock & roll bands of all time, just leave it at that.
