Ginger Baker RIP

[Paul Cannell]

Great musician.

 

[Foley]

Yes great musician.
Bit of an odd character. Once drove Clapton to tears through one of the many fights he had with the base player.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

'Odd' is being kind by all accounts! Obviously a wonderful drummer though. RIP

 

[AbbeyOx]

Clapton - Baker - Bruce. brilliant band
RIP

 

[Manorlounger]

Hard to believe he was 80 years old! An inspiration to so many that followed him.

Anyone who hasn’t watched Beware of Mr Baker should do so. A brilliant film about an amazing drummer and deeply flawed individual.

Being of that generation I saw him play several times. Undoubtedly a talent but then I read an interview with him where he said that Keith Moon was rubbish. You what? That marked him down as an arseh*le to me, and when many many years later I watched 'Beware of Mr Baker' that confirmed it. Personally I'd rate Pete York as the best drummer I've seen live, not GB.

Not heard of Pete York! But quite a back catalogue I see
