I can't help thinking of the NME April Fool gag at the start of the '80s, big headline... Ginger Baker to join Public Image Ltd. Fans went nuts, this was heresy, a punk band (even though they weren't) with a drummer from an old farts band, it just wasn't on.Of course the next week they revealed it was a joke... panic over. Then he really did join for the album "Album". Everyone thought this was John Lydon's idea of a joke but in reality it was producer Bill Laswell's idea, he also brought in Steve Vai! (Imagine that in 1981) and a few others when he realised Lydon's new band of kids were actually shit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post veloman Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 First saw Peter ' Ginger ' Baker in about 1964/5 at a B/ham club called the Whiskey A gogo - later The Crazy E - upstairs corner of Navigation Street. He was with Graham Bond and I had never seen or heard anything like it. It is one thing to be a great drummer but it is another to have an instantly recognisable style - and he did (IMO). The nearest today would be Steve Gadd I think. Saw Cream every time they came to the West Mids/B/ham area. From reading about him , he had fairly outspoken opinions; I believe he was quoted as saying' John Bonham couldn't swing a bag of sh#t - possibly because Baker was essentially a jazz drummer - see him with Art Blakey on You Tube. Also a good cyclist (track pursuiter) so that's a bonus. another part of my youth gone. RIP 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
