BAKER: 'NO MORE CREAM REUNIONS'
Legendary drummer GINGER BAKER insists he will never agree to another reunion of 1960s supergroup CREAM, because he can't stand to be the same stage as frontman JACK BRUCE. The SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE star insists Bruce has a split personality, and has dubbed his personas DR JEKYLL and MR HYDE after the famous book by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON. Baker was thrilled to take to the stage with Bruce and guitarist ERIC CLAPTON last year (05) in London, because it felt like a return to their heyday, but subsequent shows in New York City proved less enjoyable thanks to Bruce's behaviour. He says, "When he's Dr Jekyll, he's fine... it's when he's Mr Hyde that he's not. "I tell you this - there won't ever be anymore Cream gigs because he did Mr Hyde in New York last year. "He shouted at me on stage and turned up his bass so loud that he deafened me on the first gig. That was the end. "The Albert Hall gig was like 1966 - wonderful. And the first night in New York, Jack became Mr Hyde. He sort of took over, and he played so loud it was ridiculous."

LOL!!!!
yeah, gawd knows ginger never did anything weird.
well, i think jack bruse is circling the drain, isn't he? didn't he have a liver or kidney transplant or something which is why he is that weird color, and that kind of illness can fuck up your thinking and your personality.
too bad. i did get a nice bootleg dvd of the msg concert, and it was quite good. it's a shame we won't be hearing from them again. |

Screw Ginger Baker. He looks like a Martian and sounds like an illiterate DR Seuss when he tries to sing and play drums at the same time. |

Perks, I happen to be aware Joey does not particularly care for your avatar.
Ginger must have made enough money on the New York shows. |

What does that mean? He still sounds like an ass when he tries to sing and play at the same time. He isn't God.
Dude, good drummers, good guitar players, good singers, are all a dime a dozen. There are thousands of them. Yeah, Ginger is a great drummer. Big deal. I have played with guys who are great drummers. I'll bet if I had a recording of Baker and a couple of the guys I have played with you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. |

You guys can rip on Ginger all you want,but the fact is that everything that he said concerning Jack Bruce is true. Jack Bruce is,and always has been,a major league asswipe! It's true!

No kidding. From what I hear he's pretty much a confirmed psycho as well. Guess it's all relative. |
