druid13 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Ginger Baker self proclaimed "greatest drummer who ever lived" or something of that sort anyway....I like his playing as much as the next guy but he suffers from great delusions if he thinks he is the greatest player to ever live. http://www.pentagrammi.it/batteria/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ginger_baker_hellraiser.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Author Jay Bulger of the Rolling Stone article is the same individual who wrote and directed the 'Beware Of Mr. Baker' documentary. Bulger also penned a tribute article to Baker in Rolling Stone here. Edited October 6, 2019 by RushFanForever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Neil Peart was interviewed by Classic Rock DJ Jeff Woods of Q107 Toronto in late 2014 to promote his book Far and Near: On Days Like These and the R40 – 40th Anniversary Collectors Boxset. Initially there was a truncated interview posted to hear. However a couple of years ago, Woods posted a unedited version of the Peart interview, which can be heard here. Peart discussed the influence of Ginger Baker beginning at the 24:35 mark. Edited October 6, 2019 by RushFanForever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Neil Peart was interviewed by Classic Rock DJ Jeff Woods of Q107 Toronto in late 2014 to promote his book Far and Near: On Days Like These and the R40 – 40th Anniversary Collectors Boxset. Initially there was a truncated interview posted to hear. However a couple of years ago, Woods posted a unedited version of the Peart interview, which can be heard here. Peart discussed the influence of Ginger Baker beginning at the 24:35 mark. Great interview. I thought that quote was familiar. I'm not sure Neil has made any public statements since his retirement from drumming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
