There was a time in the 'White Album' sessions when George had had enough and buggered off for a bit, during which time the other 3 Beatles considered getting Clapton in to finish off the record. Of course, George came back and aside from 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' Clapton isn't on any other Beatles track officially, although he is the only person to have played guitar on a Beatles album, a Lennon album, a McCartney album, a Harrison album and a Starr album.
So he obviously gets on with them.
With the sad deaths of Lennon, Harrison, Bruce and Baker, it strikes me that if they are going to work together, time is of the essence - I know Clapton isn't in the best of health, although frankly I think I'd have died in the early 70s if I'd consumed half of what he is alleged to, so everything is relative.
Anyway - there are three of them left - a drummer, a bassist and a guitarist. That's enough for a Cream-sized band made mostly of Beatles. I think they should definitely do it - surely the only question is what to call themselves?
Do you reckon a Beam / Creatles album would be a self indulgent pile of rambling, totally forgettable, or surprisingly good?
