how many are on his level?......i saw cream on their goodby tour and saw Bruce when he was with West Bruce & Laing.....the guy played like he was doing a solo the whole song and sang on top of that.....he was great Harmonica player too.....saw them live gregg lake was a major guy on stage.....One is tempted to name ELP in such a list but let's be honest, that really means Keith Emerson. In the same way that the Jimi Hendrix Experience really means JImi Hendrix.
Me too, yeah he was big. Matter of fact I think he died of bigness.
And no slouch in his parts but not on the level of a Jack Bruce.
saw ZZ Top around 73 at the L A Sports Arena.....i have never seen so many people in S.Cal dressed up in their country best.....lots of Stetsons and that Southern drawl......still lots of pot floating around though....yea great concert.....

He-he, Hot Tuna, "I didn't think that smelled right", GOOD one!hot tuna wasnt a trio.....I'd put Hot Tuna a squeak above Rush ...
I like ZZ Top better than The Police ... let me go listen to some of their music again, The Police never struck me as being all that great musicians but then again I didn't really listen to them all that much ...
Thank you, I didn't think that smelled right.

Yeah I saw that tour too. Did not see WBL but did catch Derek and the Dominoes.
you forgot Bruce......One is tempted to name ELP in such a list but let's be honest, that really means Keith Emerson. In the same way that the Jimi Hendrix Experience really means JImi Hendrix.

Well, "tasted" woulda been a bit strange.

There were only three guys on stage every time I saw them at the Keystone Berkeley ... mid to late 1970's ... this is after Spencer Dryden moved over to NRPS ...

Okay so ya got Clapton and Hendrix on guitars, Bruce on bass, Baker on drums and Emerson on keyboards. And everybody gets a solo.

Here's my story and I swear it's true ...
Of course I had heard of ZZ Top ... didn't honestly think much of their music ... but they opened for the Rolling Stones at the Cotton Bowl in 1981 so I was kinda "oh well" ...
I didn't know it was just three of them ... beards down to their waists ... Lord above they made a hell of a lot of music ... they put on a great show, almost stole the show from the Stones ...
I've been a BIG fan ever since ...
Spencer Dryden?.....i think you have the wrong band.....he was never in tuna......hot tuna wasnt a trio.....
There were only three guys on stage every time I saw them at the Keystone Berkeley ... mid to late 1970's ... this is after Spencer Dryden moved over to NRPS ...

Yep, one of the best and certainly, LOUDEST hard rock/metal bands ever! Nice pick and RIP, Lemmy......
Lemmy remarked one time that he and his bandmates were SO loud, they could make the neighbor's lawn die. Or something to that effect. Now THAT'S loud!

Another Lemmy story. He was on VH-1, I believe, years ago, when they were spotlighting metal bands. They did an interview with Lemmy, he and his band were on a long tour of the States. When asked what he missed MOST about home in the UK, Lemmy remarked, "A nice hunk of cheese". He lamented not being able to get the same quality of cheese he could get back home. Hilarious.

He WAS with them on the record album, but he MAY have died before Pogo got to see them.
