Cream was an awesome band. Too bad about Jack Bruce's death. Although I think he'd been suffering from liver cancer for over a decade, so maybe it was a welcomed relief for him.
The Cream reunion was partly inspired by JB's failing health, not to mention his and Ginger's need for capital. He'll be missed.

One of my top five '60s fave performances^^^
What is incredible is that he (or anyone else from that era) is outlived by Ginger Baker (or Keith Richards, for that matter)
Thanks Malmo. Haven't even thought of "Badge" in years. My favorite Cream song.

Absolute best Cream song. Love it. Everyone gets old, and everyone has their time. Thanks, Malmo.

Baker's dislike of Bruce was so strong that he willed himself to outlive him.
Listened to that song a few times...definitely NOT one of the most memorable bass riffs in rock history. WTH?!?!
That was the golden era of rock music. I have listened to Disraeli Gears so many times! Bands don't make music like that anymore.

I'm 12 years old. I don't know anything about music or rock history. I don't know who Jack Bruce is. I don't know what Cream is. I listened to that song a few times and determined it is not one of the most memerable bass riffs.
Can you put up a video of Beyonce or Lil Wayne?

http://mic.com/articles/102354/5-videos-to-remember-rock-legend-jack-bruce-byI agree. It ain't such a great bass rift. BTW I'm 60 and listened to Cream back in the day. Jack Bruce was one of the greats though.
Hope Baker and Clapton have only great things to say about him. May be hard for Ginger,though.
Tal Wilkenfeld just moved up a notch

He didn't say it was a great bass rift, he said it was memorable. And yes it was one of the most recognizable and instantly identifiable rifts of an era.

You're not fooling anyone. You aren't 60 and you don't really know what a riff is. It's riff, R-I-F-F. A memorable riff, by default, is a great riff. Riffs are a very basic unit of notes repeated, that set the tone, pace and mood of the song, and lay the foundation over which melodies and harmonies are laid. Perfect examples of great guitar riffs are "Satisfaction", "Walk This Way", "Layla", "Whole Lotta Love", "Smoke on The Water" "Sweet Child o Mine" etc etc.
Great bass riffs include "Low Rider", "Green Onions", "Walk on the Wild Side", "The Real Me", "Mississippi Queen", "Guns of Brixton", Peter Gunn", "Fire", "My Generation" etc.
Yes, "Badge" has one of them most memorable riffs in rock history.
