# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | A really good band with a bad drummer is not a good band. A really bad band with a good drummer sounds better. |
2 | [About Cream's first single] 'Wrapping Paper' is the most appalling piece of shit I've ever heard in my life. |
3 | Living in L.A. [in the 1980s] was quite hard for a former heroin addict. It's the smack capital of the world! |
4 | Cream was doomed three months after it started [in 1966.] It was my band, and Jack Bruce tried to fire me! I didn't get any of the writing credits. It will piss me off for the rest of my life. |
5 | One day [while drumming with Blues Incorporated in 1962] this effeminate little kid [Mick Jagger] showed up, and I hated him. He was a musical moron! Alexis Korner asked me to give Jagger a chance to sing during the interval. But the interval was when I would go and have my fix! Me and Jack Bruce picked on him, throwing in jazz licks to confuse him. |
6 | People say Cream gave birth to heavy metal. If that's so, we should have had an abortion. |
7 | If you have a drug problem, Los Angeles is not the place to be. It used to be that I would hit L.A. straight and in 24 hours somebody would lay something on me. |
8 | [on his second marriage in 1982]: She got bored with farming [in Italy] and me being straight. Without drugs, I guess I'm not as exciting. |
9 | [on his days with Blind Faith]: I got messed up with drugs again and had a long holiday to get straight. When I got back to England, Steve Winwood told me Eric Clapton had run off to form Derek and the Dominos. |
10 | God is punishing me for my past wickedness by keeping me alive and in as much pain as he can. |
11 | I got involved with drugs for the music. I took some smack, and people told me, 'You play incredible.' So I took smack before every gig. Soon I was having trouble making enough money to feed my wife and baby. I'd turn up to a gig stoned and they'd say, 'What are you doing?' I'd tell them, 'I'm taking smack,' and they'd fire me. I used to think they were idiots. And this happened continually. |
12 | We were very poor. My mother worked in a tobacco shop to support my sister and me. I didn't get my first drum kit until I was 16. |
13 | I've used speed occasionally but never liked the effect. |
14 | People always put me as the drummer in the Dead Band with Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. What people didn't know was that until 1964, I was getting high and thinking it was wonderful. After that, I was trying to quit. |
