Alvin Stardust dies (who?), a maker of plastic pop and he gets his own thread (yes yes I know contributed) .

Jack Bruce dies and nobody bats an eyelid Folded arms

As a member of Cream and writer of "Sunshine of your love" , I would of thought some of you more forward thinking music lovers would be a little more moved.

Not a massive Cream fan but was more bothered by Bruce passing than Alvin. Lot of Cream songs on the jukebox before/after the gig I played last night, well done that pub.

Monkeysphere springs to mind.

That and a hundred other important musicians have died and you yourself haven't battered an eyelid. Laughing

First I heard of this was on here. Very sad to read it tbh. Crying or Very sad

He was a bassist that I have admired for many a year and was someone I used listen to a lot when I first started learning to play bass some 25+ years ago. To say that he couldn't play amazingly well is quite frankly bollox.

Not only was he technically a great bassist but, he also had a great feel for what he played, a purely natural talent that can't be taught and as already mentioned, a great songwriter too.

RIP Jack Bruce. Thumbs Up

He sang on most of the Cream tracks. A properly important and talented musician who ought to be always mentioned in the same breath as Eric Clapton.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
