Eddie Van Halen was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands back in 1955 and moved with his family to the United States a few years later. So the music from the 60s affected him a lot, especially bands that appeared when he was a teenager. Over the decades he talked about many groups from that era and one of them was the supergroup Cream. What is Eddie Van Halen’s opinion on Cream Cream is considered the first Rock supergroup in history and it was formed in London, England back in 1966 by Eric Clapton (Guitar, vocals), Jack Bruce (Bass, vocals) and Ginger Baker (Drums). They were one of the first bands to make heavier songs that would later be an important inspiration for Hard Rock music. Eddie, of course, became a big fan of the group especially because of Eric Clapton. Over the years he called the British guitarist his hero but noted that he only really liked his work in Cream. He explained in an interview with Steve Baltin in 2009 why he loved Cream. “The only band I was really over into was Cream. And the only thing I really liked about them was their live stuff. ‘Cause they played two verses, then go off and jam for 20 minutes. (Then) come back and do a chorus and end.” “And I love the live jam stuff, the improvisation. ‘Cause it was nothing like the record, and that is why I loved Cream. ‘Cause Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce pushed Eric Clapton. I almost feel bad for Eric because half the time he probably didn’t know the one was because these guys were jazz players playing Marshall amps and loud as s**t. Listen to 'I’m So Glad' on Goodbye Cream. If that doesn’t blow your f**king mind I don’t know what will,” Eddie Van Halen said. His two favorite Cream albums After becoming a fan of Clapton's work with Cream, Eddie went to buy the record the guitarist had previously recorded with John Mayall. That album was also an influence to him but Cream continued to be his favorite band that Clapton played in. Back in 2016, Eddie listed for Guitar Tricks Insider some of his favorite albums of all time. Two of them were Cream albums: "Wheels of Fire" (1968) and "Goodbye" (1969). He also praised those records in an interview with Rolling Stone in 2011. “Actually after Cream I dug back a little bit to the Bluesbreakers stuff. But my favorite stuff was when he was in Cream. Which was only a couple, three years. It wasn’t a very long run. But what I really liked was their live stuff, like 'Wheels of Fire' and 'Goodbye', Cream and stuff like that. Because then you could really hear the three guys playing in their live element,” Eddie Van Halen said. Why he considered Eric Clapton his hero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hSiqy9v9FM&pp=ygUKaW0gc28gZ2xhZA%3D%3D The late legendary guitarist said many times that he would slow down the records and learn just by hearing every note that Clapton played. Although he loved Clapton, he also noted once that it was Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker who made him sound even better. But after Cream, Eddie really didn't like what Clapton did, because according to him it was quite different from what he did when he was part of the power trio. He had the chance to see when he was young Clapton as part of Derek and The Dominoes and he didn't enjoy the show at all. During a session of questions and answers with What It Means to Be American in 2015 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage), Eddie explained why Clapton was his hero. “As a guitarist, Eric Clapton was my hero because he was a straight-ahead guy. (He) must plugged his guitar straight into an amp and it was very organic, so to speak.” “Not putting a lot of “bs” (bullshit) in between. So, yeah, I liked him during Cream.. After Cream, I kind of lost interest in him. I basically stopped listening to music altogether. I didn’t listen to much of anything after that. (So) I was so busy and wrapped up in my own little world that I just didn’t eat.”The post Eddie Van Halen’s opinion on Cream appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

This world is a 100% deception, and I realize that's hard for a lot of people to understand. As we progress further into the end times it would seem the truth is being revealed like never before and we can clearly see the deception is at an all time high. Our true history may be hidden for now, but you can be sure the Father will reveal everything in his perfect timing. For now we can just pray for discernment, and seek Truth through developing a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Many people don’t like small talk because it forces them to have conversations about trivial topics such as the weather, what they saw on TV the night before, or their weekend plans. Other people don’t like it because it causes them anxiety to talk with someone they may not know well.Either way, research shows that small talk actually is a big deal. Julia Korn at Forbes says that small talk enables us to find common ground and shared interests, build muscles to overcome social discomfort, and lays the groundwork for transitioning into more serious, deeper topics.It also makes us feel good. Studies show that a quick exchange with a barista while getting coffee can result in feelings of belonging and increased happiness.So, how can we get more out of small talk and make it more comfortable? Stanford lecturer, podcast host, and communication expert Matt Abrahams told CNBC that one small phrase does both: “Tell me more.” He learned the phrase's value by listening to his mother, who had “impressive interpersonal skills.” “Her favorite phrase was ‘Tell me more,’ and it happens to be one that people who are good at small talk always use,” Abrahams wrote.The Stanford expert says that the simple phrase works because it is a “support response” that encourages what the speaker is saying instead of being a “shift response” that brings the conversation back to you.Suppose you’re talking to someone at a party who’s complaining about a lousy dinner they had at a local steakhouse. “The steak was overcooked, and the service was terrible,” they tell you. A proper support response could be, “Tell me more about the service” or “What else didn’t you like about the dinner?"“Comments like these give your partner permission to expand on what they said or provide deeper insight,” Abrahams wrote.On the other hand, a shift response that brings the conversation back to you would be something like, “I once had a bad dinner at a steakhouse…” and then you told that story. People who overuse the shift response are often seen as self-centered or the type of folks who have to make everything about themselves.That’s a rather annoying personality trait that doesn’t make people a lot of friends or an enjoyable person to work with in the office.Support responses such as “Tell me more” or “What happened next” are a great way to guarantee that you follow another proven conversation strategy, the 43:57 rule. A marketing whiz over at Gong.io took a deep dive into 25,537 sales calls with the help of AI and discovered a cool tidbit: sales went through the roof when the salesperson chatted 43% of the time and lent an ear for 57%. They've dubbed it the "43:57 rule."Now, while this gem of wisdom came from business calls, think about our daily chats with friends. It's all about tuning in and showing you care about what the other person has to say. Everyone loves to feel heard and valued.In the end, the trick to being a great conversationalist isn’t all about being witty, charming, or informed, but simply knowing how to listen.This article originally appeared last year.
