Transcript
00:00This film is about Ginger Baker, a man who stands for something in life that probably
00:14most of you do not. Love and appreciate, no matter how awkward this character may appear
00:24to you. God bless him. May the road rise. He helped me rise my road. Love you, Ginger.
00:33Johnny Rotten. I'll be a man.
00:39Ginger Baker is a motherfucker. That's it. He personally is what drums are all about.
00:55He is certifiably nuts. He is mad. I think he was kind of fairly consistently horrible
01:00to people and to himself. If they got a problem with me, come and see me and punch me on the
01:04nose. I ain't going to sue you. I'm going to hit you back. He's moved around the world
01:10getting thrown out of every country. He's a rogue. He's a lovable rogue. He was a fucking
01:14dope addict. He was into drugs heavily. Are you surprised that he's still living?
01:19Yes, I am. As the flame went down and there was one person going to get off, it would be
01:24Ginger. He was like a scary guy. When I would look at him, he looked like the devil.
01:28The devil takes care of its own. Yes. Like a great virtual also madman.
01:33Maybe you have to be a little mad to play the way he does. Probably the greatest drummer
01:38that any of us have ever heard. He was the hammer of the gods. He's a force of nature.
01:42The world's greatest drummer. He influenced me as a drummer, but not as a person.
01:47I'm going to fucking put you in hospital. What?
01:52Good luck. Oh.
01:53Good luck!
01:54Good luck!
01:55Good luck!
01:56Yes!
01:59Oh, oh, oh, oh!
02:00Oh, fuck!
02:02Ginger Baker just hit in.
02:03Her fucking nose.
02:04fucking knows
