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

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

Anyone who understands music (theory), and I don't mean a wanker who can play smoke on the water using three power chords knows that Cream was musically superior to Led Zep. Cream utilized collective improvisation, and was responsible for the push towards fusion in the 70's. I used to love Zep when I was in junior high school. But the more I studied music, the less they interested me. Mostly because Bonzo's drumming, he is pretty mediocre after you hear really great drummers like Baker, Williams or Billy Cobham.As far Jack's comments, if he even really did say these things, they do seem a bit childish. Someone as talented and unique as Bruce does not need to be bothered with such tripe. He did after all turn Page down for the job in L.Z. when the first formed. Cream's reunion was outstanding, Led Zep's was good at best but they were never close to begin with.
