😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍

You mean the colossal cunt that was Ginger Baker…great drummer…terrible human being.

Yeah don't call him a "rock" drummer. He would fly into a rage to anyone who called him a "rock" drummer. There is a film that was made late in Ginger Baker's life when he was living in South Africa (?). and he did not suffer fools gladly to put it mildly,

@@mandobob Didn't matter what anyone said or did, Ginger would fly into a rage. He was a rage monster...and this is why Cream lasted such a short time even though Ginger went with Clapton to do Blind Faith - which lasted one album. You'd think that being able to beat on the drums would smooth out the man's edge, but uh-uh -- he was a living, breathing series of human cymbal crashes, and the greatest rock band drummer of his time, regardless of his wider aspirations which he did pursue after Cream and Blind Faith had gone their separate ways.

Completely agree . Monstered both roles .

And yet when Bonz debuted just half a year after this song, no one had heard anything like him. He made Ginger, Moon, and all the rest of them sound anemic and pedestrian in comparison.

I love Ginger’s heavy deliberate drumming. It’s so simple but no one does it like him.

​@@Cosmo-Krameryou are simply delusional Bonzo is cool, but hype like yours is just wrong

@@gingerbaker_toad696 Thank you. Ginger Baker isn't second to anyone. He's his own artist. Neil Peart may have more speed, precision and transition, but Ginger Baker has a connection and pulse to everything he ever did that is fantastic. He's like Keith Moon but more precision than Keith Moon. Bill Ward gets overlooked as well. John Bonham is about #8 on all time best drummers. No shame in that.

@@mjb0183 Ginger Baker is the cleaner, more accurate version of Keith Moon is how I think of Ginger.

@-R.Gray- Jack Bruce later played in West, Bruce and Laing.

@@warrenbridges1891 Yes, and also on the 1988 Leslie West album "Theme", where he played bass and sang on his "Theme For An Imaginary Western", and on a live performance of "Spoonful".

My Generation. Carry on 🏝️

Living Legends Forever! 🎸🎤🎸

But the old tube equipment had that warm sound.

Jack Bruce went on to play with The Tony Williams Lifetime, a pioneering jazz fusion group.

Yes, I remember them, saw a few jazz rock shows back in the day.

Yes it was TOO short!

Just compare Cream's "Toad" to Zeppelin's "Moby Dick".

Bonham made it clear that Toad was inspirational to his later solos.

Ginge always come across as an impossible man to work with

No they are not underrated!!! The first power trio that paved the way for hard rock!! And the first “supergroup”. Apparently you weren’t alive yet 😮

Underrated? Are you high?? Well known as one of the GOATs.

Man, if you think that Cream are under rated then you must be mentally challenged. 3 of the greatest musicians in the history of the Universe that made the Beatles look up and pay attention. Lennon said to Ringo " Have you heard this Drummer, Ginger Baker?" Ringo said "Gear" Anything that was very good quality Ringo called "Gear" Ringo calls Marge Simpsons artwork "Gear" They were the catalyst and major influence of The New Yardbirds that brought Led Zeppelin into existence. Rock doesn't get any better than this, well apart from STATUS QUO that is. 1968 I was 7 years old, and I remember hearing "White Room" coming out of a neighbour's radio. I stopped transfixed, looking at the radio. This is called a music epiphany. I was drawn to the Drumming and became a competent Drummer myself. When you're a kid you only have a few epiphanies that stand out. I think I had several. "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors was another one. "Down the Dustpipe" by STATUS QUO 1970 was a major life changer. "Up Around The Bend" by CCR "Can the Can" Suzi Quatro, was the first album I bought with my own money, in hindsight it is one of the best Produced albums ever recorded. My cousin Greg had a copy of PILEDRIVER by STATUS QUO in 1973 and I heard my future /present favourite Rock Band. STATUS QUO had been a Psychedelic Pop/Rock Band from the mid-60's 'til they transformed into a blues-based Rock Band in 1969/1970. From a caterpillar into grand butterfly. "In My Chair" in 1970, is a filthy, dirty, grungy Psych/Blues song that sounds as if it could fall apart at any time. The best & greatest Rock Band of all time had declared their new direction, they had arrived. In a BBC interview in 1977 John Lydon told the interviewer why The Sex Pistols liked and respected STATUS QUO. QUO's attitude was very similar to the PUNK ethic, if not the same. Lydon said that if you don't like what QUO are doing, then you can F#ck off. CREAM were World changers for a couple of short powerful years. Have a listen to Cream's LIVE recording of "CROSSROADS" it is bloody awesome. The 3 greatest and most influential Bands in history are STATUS QUO, THE BEATLES & THE SEX PISTOLS. Then comes ABBA & NIRVANA........... That's just my experience and my opinion from a very passionate music lover...............

I think White Room is their definitive song!
