At one point Baker was playing a solo and then Clapton, Bruce and maybe some other people crowded around so you couldn't see and then the really opened up and took off. The rumor was that someone in the group shot him up with speed because the heroin was wearing off. I think it was just part of the act. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31126728 You must be getting up there in age yourself, Anon...)) Cream, the original powerhouse trio. Clapton's best playing with the SG & ES335. Interesting to see some of the 'Reunion' clips, they could still play those tunes so well after so many years live, something Led Zeppelin had problems with even when they were relatively young but fading as the 70's went by. Baker was more of a rhythmic rather than a power drummer. Quirky guy, no doubt, but may he RIP. |

What does that tell you? When Elton dies, we'll be more polite than you have been. You are baiting me to combat you so you can report me and get me banned but instead i am going to just again say: who cares if some dumb ass celebirty dies? Any celebirty. Who cares? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78038679 United States 10/06/2019 06:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As a young teenage musician, I liked Cream better than Zep because Cream gave me my first introduction to good Poetry, used with Rock music. I Loved it. Bruce was a cool,classy, bass player/lead singer with a deep, loud, voice, who didn't need to prominade around like a screeching rooster. Clapton was/is one of the best period. And Ginger, will always be one of a kind and one of my fave Rock drummers, (although maybe he didn't mean to be), simply because I like crazy, bad, mysterious, versatile, drummers with some OCD going on. There will never be another band in History like this one again. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73490254 United States 10/06/2019 07:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ginger Baker, the volatile and propulsive British musician who was best known for his time with the power trio Cream, died Sunday at age 80, his family said. Quoting: Jon Titor ™ Born in 1939, Peter Edward Baker was the son of a bricklayer killed during World War II when Ginger was just 4. His father left behind a letter that Ginger Baker would quote from: "Use your fists; they're your best pals so often." Baker wielded his blues power and jazz technique to help break open popular music and become one of the world's most admired and feared musicians. With blazing eyes, orange-red hair and a temperament to match, the London native ranked with The Who's Keith Moon and Led Zeppelin's John Bonham as the embodiment of musical and personal fury. Using twin bass drums, Baker fashioned a pounding, poly-rhythmic style uncommonly swift and heavy that inspired and intimidated countless musicians. But every beat seemed to mirror an offstage eruption — whether his violent dislike of Cream bandmate Jack Bruce or his on-camera assault of a documentary maker, Jay Bulger, whom he smashed in the nose with his walking stick. Baker continued to perform regularly in his 70s despite arthritis, heart trouble, hearing loss dating from his years with Cream and lung disease from smoking. No strangers to vices and not a fan of modesty, he called his memoir "Hellraiser: The Autobiography of the World's Greatest Drummer." "John Bonham once made a statement that there were only two drummers in British rock 'n' roll; himself and Ginger Baker," Baker wrote in his book. "My reaction to this was, 'You cheeky little bastard!'" [link to www.sfgate.com (secure)] As a drummer myself, he never impressed me much. He was solid, in the pocket, but that's to be expected at that level. John Bonham was leagues better. Hell, even the drummer Santana was using at that time was much more polished with technique and rudiments. Baker will be a legend because of the guitar player in a band he also happened to be in. Like winning big on a scratch off. It’s funny cuz it’s true MItch Mitchell was also far superior (when he wanted to be) Watching Bakers solo was like watching 20 minutes of repetitive yawning He was famous, but now he dead Anyone else miss Lemmy? |

Fucking no talent moron's... Quoting: Carbonus The funny thing is that Ginger Baker started out as a jazz drummer, which is probably the most technical and demanding style of percussion. There are negative people that come to GLP just to vent their spleens. They trash everything. This was a pinned thread a few hours ago when Trinity unleashed the VPN psychopaths so it was an obvious target. |
