Though he says Jimmy Page is a “good player,” Cream’s Ginger Baker has fired some shots at Led Zeppelin. “Jimmy’s [Page] a good player,” he told Forbes. “I don’t think Led Zeppelin filled the void that Cream left, but they made a lot of money. I probably like about five percent of what they did – a couple of things were really cool.

I think it is an abortion,” while distancing Cream from the genre altogether. Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
