  • 8 Bands Where Every Member Writes Songs

    A great number of bands are led by just one or two songwriters, with the rest of the members never really contributing anything compositionally. However, these eight bands moved beyond this dynamic by featuring songwriting contributions from each one of their members.
  • Eric Clapton May Retire from The Road

    The Who have announced 2014 to be their last year on the road, Motley Crue has legally documented that it shan't tour anymore after its current run, and now it seems Eric Clapton, one of the most acclaimed guitarists in history, might be opting for the same plan.

  • The Rolling Stones, The Who, Bob Dylan: Cream's Ginger Baker Hates 'Em All

    Ginger Baker, the legendary drummer for Cream, has never been accused of being short-winded. Listening to live jams, or Music Times' particular favorite, his epic solo during supergroup Blind Faith's "Do What You Like." Many look to Baker and possibly Who drummer Keith Moon as the originators of the extended drum solo (even if it began with jazz percussionists much earlier). Baker's also notorious for not suffering fools lightly, a common theme during 2012's award-winning documentary Beware of Mr. Baker. Rolling Stone's Patrick Doyle had to deal with just that when interviewing the drummer last week.
