Absolutely no way would Ginger would ever do anything like that especially with Eric being one of his best friends. No way man
While I wouldn’t suggest anyone in the Clapton/ Baker entourage would be in anyway dishonest,
Let me tell you, I have worked in bands over years. When it
comes to money, or needing money, loyalty goes out the window.
No. It was me. I stole it.
If Ginger was clean then there should be no apparent reason for him stealing Eric's LP. That's the nice side. Except the world of hard drugs (and alcohol) is scary, viscous and full of low-life who expect payment.
Ginger's drumming was immense. But his reputation goes before him, and he wasn't good with money either. Desperate addicts would sell their mother for their next fix. Ok, he was clean at the time of the theft, but who knows whether Ginger owed money, maybe a lot of money?
How can you tell if a junky is lying? Are his lips moving? Not saying Ginger stole the guitar, but taking a junky at their word is a fool's game.
LMAO I hope he did steal it that would be hilarious
You wouldn't say that if you were a gigging guitar player making your way.
@@maxwellfan55 yes I would! You know how much I’d dine out on the story of Ginger Baker stealing my guitar? 😂
I think it's just people liking to hate on Ginger. It takes all of them to "get up" on him lol
I fully agree , Ginger loved Eric and his playing , why would Ginger jeopardise Cream too , it was Ginger’s baby -Eric was crucial to that success
but Ginger was known kind of as an A**hole, so who's to say. A moment & story lost in time.
@@popeye089stop,pretending you know what you’re talking about
@@user-ep3sv1ys5m I never said anything he himself had not stated. He was known to be a hard individual to not only work with but to know. His own words not mine, he stated in several interviews. A genius on the drums without a doubt, but a self proclaimed hard individual to know. Google is your friend if you want to read his interviews
@@user-ep3sv1ys5m and as I stated, who knows if he did or didn’t. It is a story and moment lost in time and only those involved know the truth. The problem with being a fan of anybody is when you delve into their personal stories outside of their works. My opinion, I try to stay away from the artist as a person. It only destroys their legends because we realize they are humans just like us. Flaws and all
@@popeye089 You are quite right. The private lives/habits of actors, artists, musicians often completely at odds to their stage reputation. Many tragic as well, the list endless.
The only man who knows for sure is dead
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Ramon ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
HIGHLY doubtful. The Beano burst location is known (as per Joe Bonamassa) and presumably the story. No way would Ginger jeopardize the band in those early rehearsals.
Yes, I heard or read that Joe B knows the location of Eric's Beano LP. I always thought that this was dishonorable or dodgy on Bonamassa's part. Joe knows where this historic instrument is, that was stolen from a player who he ostensibly copied and admired, tells the world he knows, but he didn't tell Eric where his guitar is? Maybe I've got it wrong, but I lost a lot of admiration for Bonamassa when I heard that story. He should clarify this history...
@@Hiwatt100W1 I do not think you heard the correct story. You'd have to find the video (twitter I believe) where Joe talks about visiting/playing the guitar. He knew all the details (some he did not reveal) and we all know Joe knows Bursts. Clapton was informed of the location and owner but for unknown reasons had no interest in getting it back. This was years ago.

Wow this is gonna be interesting!!!
Title a Bit Clickbaity
No it isn't... That's literally what he was talking about.
Just for anyone who doesn't know, Clapton and Ginger say that Ginger wasn't a junkie in the mid to late sixties. He was in the early sixties when he was strictly playing jazz. Ginger used over the years, but would stop often too. I don't know the truth, but that is something to consider. In the seventies Ginger became an alcoholic and he said it kicked his ass worse than heroin ever did.
I don't think that Ginger would have done this, or more importantly, really would've needed to. Ginger was a registered heroin addict in the UK, which meant that he obtained heroin legally from a licensed pharmacy. He did not need to steal to get money for narcotics. He was, moreover, under the care of a physician specializing in addiction medicine about this time- this according to "Hellraiser", his autobiography cowritten with his daughter, Nettie.
It would be interesting to dig into the rummers of where the guitar is now. Some claim to know, but will not come clean.
0:11 Would that be a rolling stone’s throw away? 🤔🤕
Love both “Sleepy Time Time” and “Sweet Wine”, which has a fantastic feedback infused multi-tracked solo from Clapton. Hoping to see Sons of Cream on tour 👍
apparently Ginger was clean in Cream but not for Blind Faith....
Not true. His actual history is not hard to find. He did spin some tales, but was generally honest in interviews. This whole content section is full of false statements.
Who Knows
It's an abhorent topic really. Gingers gone and not here to defend himself. It's done. I doubt the Guitar even exists anymore. Surely it would have surfaced by now? Not a good thing to remember or attach Ginger to with so little evidence. Circumstance isn't enough. RIP Ginger Baker.
I love these guys videos I don't think I've ever commented before, but I have to say after the first 20 seconds I was bummed out-well nobody likes the guitar thief... I think you have to admit to be kind of hilarious if it were true
Like I could hear his Cockney voice in my head: ' oi that's right innit Eric I traded that bludy guitar for som dope whatcha fancy do about mate'
I respect this guy cuz he's a great blues guitarist... And I'm sure he's right regarding the stupid rumor
**Right back to different regarding Ginger being clean while he was in cream... I've been around a lot of addicts that's the kind of stuff .. dude was stoned most of the time in Cream look at that pinprick pupil Annette interview they did with the BBC... Dude it was definitely smacked out of his mind... Actually goes to show how good of a musician he was that he can actually play like that
**stupid phone I was trying to say I take everything is true except for that Ginger was clean... I mean just look at the guy like come on man
Many thanks indeed 🙏🙏🙏
I guess Clapton didn’t know John Paul Jones if he thought Jack Bruce was the best Bass player In London.
😂😂😂😂 Ridiculous statement 😂
Needed a bit of an all rounder, big vocals personality and good bass playing and got on
( for a while anyway )
with the other two. JPJ was sensible.
I don’t know if JPJ would have fitted the bill.
