Cream's Jack Bruce says Led Zeppelin are crap

Cream bassist Jack Bruce has criticised Led Zeppelin in an interview with Classic Rock, amid speculation about a Led Zeppelin tour.

Cream bassist Jack Bruce is obviously as sick of all the Led Zeppelin tour speculation as I am, because he's had a sweary outburst criticising the band.

Bruce told Classic Rock: "Everybody talks about Led Zeppelin [reforming], and they played one fucking gig - one fucking lame gig - while Cream did weeks of gigs [during their 2005 reunion]; proper gigs, not just a lame gig like Zeppelin did, with all the [vocal] keys lowered and everything. We played everything in the original keys. Fuck off, Zeppelin, you're crap. You've always been crap and you'll never be anything else. The worst thing is that people believe the crap that they're sold. Cream is 10 times the band that Led Zeppelin is".

As you know, there's been a lot of talk about a Led Zeppelin tour. Seems safe to assume that Bruce won't be buying a ticket.
