Eric Clapton Interview - Beware Of Mr. Baker

Even if you don’t like Ginger Baker‘s work in Cream and Blind Faith (among many other groups), the documentary Beware Of Mr. Baker is a compelling film. If you’re a music fan, you’ll enjoy hearing how his drumming influenced Neil Peart of Rush, Lars Ulrich of Metallica and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Of if you get a rise out of observing incredible amounts of drama in other people’s lives, you’ll be drawn in by the insanity of his personal life (you’ll be shocked to find out who he left his first wife for, why his second wife left him and how long its been since he’s been in touch with his son). Helmed by first-time director Jay Bulger, the film leaves very few stones unturned in the famously cranky drummer’s life.
