Ginger Baker

Were you a fan Gallus?

Must admit, I never liked their music.

I'm sorry to hear he died but wont miss the music at all. We went to see Air Force and found it very self indulgent.

Yes I must admit I was lemongrove, influenced perhaps by my older brother.

Oh dear , it's always sad when someone from your youth dies - I liken myself to a melting iceberg !

In light of the causing offence thread we should probably call him Strawberry Blond Baker.

Another part of my youth lost RIP Ginger Baker

DH was a huge fan of Cream seen them in the 60’s in concert when they were just starting out .

Thankyou MissAd.
As for their music, that era passed me by as I was well past my teens.

We saw Cream as they just started out 2/6d at The London College of Fashion.I seem to remember in those days they always left the drummer to do an endless drum solo while Eric sloped off to do goodness what. Amazing they have lived so long RIP.

Wasn't a huge fan but knew people who were, White Room was always my favourite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR90gQ-SIaY
RIP Ginger

I never liked them but it's sad that he's died.

Not a fan of the music but Ginger Baker was one of the best drummers in the business. Magic paradiddles.

Another fan here. Amazing that he lived to be eighty though after all the drink and drugs!

I am a massive fan but I liked Jack Bruce the best. RIP Ginger Baker and also the late great Jack Bruce.

Sadly missed. Huge talent.

My cousin will be sad as he was a roadie for Cream, among others.

RIP Ginger . I’m pleased that I went to every night of the reunion gigs at the RAH in 2005 .

Love it MissA I was just thinking ‘oo-er’ when I saw the title of the thread. Different times I suppose!

Yes. Definitely different times.

I'm quite partial to the odd Cream tune.
Like trisher, White Room is my favourite.

I was an Eric Clapton fan from his Yardbird days and saw Cream often in clubs around London. It was frustrating when the others sloped off leaving Ginger Baker to his endless solos.

I think he is now somewhere else singing ‘Bo bo bo b bo bo,
I feel free’.
RIP ??
