Cream - Star Factory


It's rather amusing to think that Cream formed over 40 years ago.

They were so revolutionary, just about everything they did left a huge influence on rock bands to come.

Ginger Baker is an insane drummer, and was one of, if not the very first, to use a double bass drum.

Jack Bruce invented and perfected that fade-in bass technique and Eric Clapton...well, when you hear the man rip it out , you know these guys were something special.

Cream were a very good hard rock band that influenced many other hard rock bands.

You can listen to Cream over and over again and never get bored.

Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven


" Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven "


This lyrics was written by Eric Clapton after his son's Conor Death at the age of 4.5 years old.

Conor fell from a New York apartment building because his nanny had left the window open.


The song is very touchy and sad.

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory ?


Linkin Park was originally called "Hybrid Theory" but when they found out that there's already a band called "Hybrid" so they didn't want to go through legal stuff, so they changed their name to Linkin Park.

First album "Hybrid Theory" was a succes.

Thier "new" album's called "Meteora".

Personally, Linkin Park's one of my favourite bands. They have pretty decent music and good music video clips.

David Bowie & Mick's Jagger Hair


Back In 1963, David Bowie saw the Rolling Stones open for Little Richard .

He recalled that show and someone heard him say:


"The Stones were so funny. They had, like, only four fans at that time who rushed down the aisles to the front. These four chicks in the front there.. It was so funny..

"And some guy - I'll never forget this - some guy in the audience looked at Mick Jagger and said :
'Get your hair cut!'…


And Mick shouted back:


'What, and look like you?'


It was so funny! We just collapsed in our seats!"
