BassManGraham Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Very sad day indeed. Jack Bruce was a genuine legend and a huge ground breaking influence from the golden era of rock. Four of my all time favourite players have now sadly passed (Jamerson, Edwards, Entwistle, and now Bruce). Sadly no-one in the last few decades has come close to the bass playing talent that emerged in the 60s & 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essexbasscat Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) The news has put my chin on the table. Working out Jack's bass lines to Cream songs launched my bass playing in a new direction as a young teenager. I'm stunned. Thank you Jack, for so much RIP Edited October 26, 2014 by essexbasscat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paultrader Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I can only agree with all the rest. When I bought my first bass guitar in 1970 it had [u]everything[/u] to do with Cream and Jack Bruce. I remember seeing the Jack Bruce Band at a free gig in Hyde Park in the early 70s - I'm sure the sun was shining. Thanks for tons of inspiration Jack.

Chezz55 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Very sad news - the inspiration of a generation of Bass Players - my best wishes to the Bruce family. Thanks for some great music Jack - especially 'Badge' and 'White Room'. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] +1 I figured that if Warwicks were good enough for John Entwistle and Jack Bruce, they were good enough for me. Now they are both gone, and so is my Warwick The clock is ticking!!!.....

toneknob Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 BBC Four are showing this Jack bruce documentary tonight: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01c6hw2 I think it's been on before, if so it's well worth a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Will try to catch that. A couple of weeks ago I popped in to a local jam night and as they got me up to do some blues i made them finish the 3 song set with Crossroads. I didn't play it anywhere near the live Cream version but it was my little tribute to the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I had a strange fantasy that when he died I'd be in band that could play Theme for an Imaginary Western as a tribute, but when the time came I wasn't even in a band.
