...before cream baker and bruce were both in "the Graham Bond organisation" (iirc) Baker fired Bruce by holding a knife to his throat and telling him "if you ever come back I,ll rather kill you"
They hated each other,and by all accounts still do. the arguments they had during the cream period were so severe they used to reduce clapton to tears.which is why he decided to split the group up.
Interestingly - cream, believe it or not were actually only together for less than 2 years.
turmoil/friction/angst pain.....often produce great art .
