| joelbb | Posted: Nov 12, 2012 - 22:55 I own Wheels of Fire in vinyl. I must have repressed this cut. The drumming is superb, but the tune is S-B. Clapton lights up, but then the silly voice comes back. Is that Jack Bruce? |

I was in high school and I loved most of their stuff. I was "soaking up" music like a sponge. I guess you had to be there at the time. |

| paulmack (the hissing swamps) | Posted: Dec 08, 2009 - 12:00 Well, guess what?! I like this song. I always have - from the day I first bought it from some long-defunct discount chain in southern California as a mere pup of a 10th grader. I was so desperate to get that thing home and play it that I could barely see straight. I still remember the excitement of that day as though it was yesterday. And though, like many who've posted below, I liked some of the other tracks more - "Crossroads", of course, is still the greatest Clapton solo I've heard personally - I like the TTWTD solo and overall sound very much. The bells probably sound corny to many but I like them. I'm surprised by the '6' average. I gave it an 8, myself. |
| keller1 (In A Gadda Da Vida, Baby) | Posted: Dec 08, 2009 - 11:50 bluedot wrote: Haha. I remember having this exact same argument in high school in 1970. The thing about Ginger Baker's drum sound was that he was pioneering a style based on DOUBLE BASS DRUMS. That's why he sounded like that. He's actually an excellent drummer. He had a cool group called the Ginger Baker Trio in the 1990's which included Bill Frisell and Charlie Haden. More jazz than rock... Louis Bellson "pioneered" double bass drums when Baker was still in diapers. |

| ottojschlosser (Coarsegold CA) | Posted: Oct 22, 2009 - 10:34 Easily my least favorite Clapton solo of all time. 'Generic' is the kindest thing I can say. Fortunately, there are so many good ones that the bad taste is soon gone. |
