Spoombung Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 [quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1437857459' post='2829618'] When I used to work the social club scene as a singer I worked with dozens of comedians. Pretty much all of them were the most miserable and boring people I have ever come across off stage [/quote] Agreed. Comedians are another level of miserable and obnoxious altogether.

Bilbo Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Ginger Baker was a poor man's Elvin Jones. Like a lot of Rock God's, he believes his own press and forgets where he came from. Baker was great Rock drummer but a poor Jazz drummer. Like a lot of young men who use drugs heavily during their early years, their emotional development is often compromised and they don't learn how to cope with the emotional demands of ordinary human relationships. Add the artificiality of the world he operated in and the people who induleged him and you get a perfect storm to arseholedom. Arseholes is arseholes, whoever they are. And, to finish with a[b] mahoosive[/b] name drop, I played with Simon Kirke once (I had forgotten that!!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkgod Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 [quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1436510286' post='2818649'] Obnoxious old bastard and not as good a drummer as he thinks he is. [/quote] [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1436462855' post='2818383'] No amount of talent excuses being that obnoxious.

Len_derby Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Thought I'd revive this with some news. A drummer friend of mine went to the Jack Bruce memorial concert last night. "Morning all. Fun and drama last night at the Roundhouse Camden. Ginger Baker stormed off early in his second song when the other drummer Franky Tontoh continued to play along in classic Cream tracks! So I only saw the great man briefly :- " PS seen the film and enjoyed it, especially the animated links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
