> With King Crimson I did about three or four gigs standing up, and said, "This is hopeless, I just can't play this way." Greg Lake said, "You can't sit down; you'll look like a mushroom." I felt it wasn't my job to stand up and look moody. My job was to play, and I couldn't play standing up.Was it autism?
>>128849254I saw KC on the ConstruKtion of Light tour 2000. Denver Gothic Theater. It was weird. Instead of a stool he just kind of slouched on an amp. He's always said that he's a "seated" guitar player.
>>128849254He could play, but not optimally, is what he probably means. Could've just practiced.
>>128849254>"Jimi Hendrix wasnt a guitarist"Fripp has the most based takes
>>128849288Got me looking online. Found this;The "No Stool" Element: While the ConstruKction era was more about the heavy sound, the later lineups emphasized intense, focused performance, with Fripp often standing and delivering fiery solos, adding to the dynamic spectacle.
Gimmick, anything to hide he was a mediocre player and carried hard by the people around him

>>128849254Greg LakeOn stageSitting down
>>128849254>sits down to peeTo be fair, he always had a lot of sand in his mangina
>>128849864>Practicing some basic scale warmups but drenched in delay, wow!
>>128849968you wouldnt be able to do that.
>>128849968Post your shit. Let's see what you got.
>>128849885Greg was tall and handsome before he got fat, it's different when a pockmarked goofball with nerd glasses and poofy hair does it
>>128849254relevant
>>128850756Is the repressed trauma from this event why he did those horrible things to James Crary?
they shouldve hung him upside down maybe it would have made his shit music more listenable
>>128850989Oh god. Seek professional help you miserable little waste of perfectly good sperm.
>>128849996>sound of cricketsWell. What a surprise.
>>128851163honestly put this chair wanker upside down and he'd be forced to play differently
>>128850902who?
>>128851499An innocent man, deeply wronged.
>>128849864I wanted to like this, but come oneven he is embarassed at the end
he can't play standing up and he can't play with rhythm
>>128849864
>>128849885chad mushroom
>>128852205>>128852276Still here. And you're still a tasteless samefag.
>>128849864well that was 1 minute 45 seconds of my life that I'll never get back
>>128849864The virgin Robert Fripp vs. the Chad Tony Levinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP_bXVyb2Q0
>>128849254For me it's Robert Fripp's League of Crafty Guitaristshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3dicKNdKa8
>>128852708this is how Ovation stays in business
>>128852708Tragic. These kids wanted to learn to rock and get chicks and Fripp sabotages them and sent them on the road to permanent inceldom.
>>128849254He's right about Clapton.
>>128849864Susumu hirasawa made a career out of this
>>128849864>Thank you very much, Rick JamesHe is the great funnyman of rock now that Ozzy croaked.
>>128853001this is what played right beforehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVvEZByp_6M
>>128853162God damn, imagine you just want to dance and party with chicks and right after comes on this geek with glasses playing with a tape recorder and absolutely slaughtering the vibe and killing the room dead.
>>128853403Imagine it? I've lived it.
>>128852823Yep it's a slippery slope. Fripp is high-octane vagina repellent. Once you start listening to King Crimson it's already over.
>>128853447Says the kissless virgin frogposter
>>128853403Imagine not being able to appreciate both like a birdbrain philistine.
>>128853403>is that 3 minutes of ambient music? Fuck my coke buzz is ruined! Im losing my mind right now because someone invited the cerebral music guy on stage. How the fuck am I supposed to feel good all the time to this shit?
Absolutely love Fripp's guitar work on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbU1zYzD-Tw
>>128849254If Gentle giant could all play standing up this talentless hack could do it
>>128849254>I don't think Jimi Hendrix was a guitaristWhat did he mean by this?>Clapton is excessively tediousHe's absolutely real for this
>>128849885looks more like David St. Hubbins
>>128849864>thank you all for letting me play even though you have no idea where this is going>hehe, if only you knew... maybe you wouldn't let me play anymore...>because what I'm about to do is so far out!!!..... well, I'll just leave it at that>check it out for yourselvesand he just plays a scale for 2 minutes on a loopit's pathetic how highly fripp and his fans think of him
>>128856888Boy your commitment to stupidity & anti intellectualism is actually quite impressive. Been up all night seething have we? Wow.
>>128857820listen to more music, frippchud, your autistic idol is just not that great
>>128857874Slash, Steve Vai and a myriad of other guitarists would disagree with you. Loudly & vociferously. We have a dedicated Fripp hater now. How droll.
>>128858352not a hater, he's alrightI just find his pedantic attempts at presenting himself as a high-brow experimental musician to be pathetiche's above average as a prog guitarist, but not among the greatest of the genre or of all time
>Slash and Steve Vailmao
>>128858937This schizophrenic samefaggotry you're attempting is beyond sad.Either that or it's the meth.
>>128849864If I wanted to see a nerd play boring stuff sitting down I would watch any classical guitarist who is at least much more proficient than that
>>128859349Then go watch Paco de Lucia. I'm not stopping you. Also this >>128859275
>>128859377Paco is not classical, dummy
>>128859402Then go watch Segovia Whatever floats your miserable little boat
>>128858611King crimson is the greatest prog band with the best most consistent discography. Cope and seethe all you want fripp is a brilliant artist
>>128860106worthless and meaningless genre for nerds
>>128860142
>>128860106>greatest prog banddisagree, but even if it was, it wouldn't be thanks to him, but rather his more talented bandmates, that he'd fire whenever he got the chance>the best most consistent discographynot true at allbesides, they haven't made a great album since Disciplinehalf their discography is dismissable, and they've become a parody of themselves>fripp is a brilliant artisthe aightnothing else
>>128861147apologyse
>>128861147The fact that he was able to take a rotating cast of artists and consistently make kino albums is admirable and a testament to his ability to lead and create. And The fact that you think discipline is their last good album is highly sus. Who do you think are the best prog bands?
>>128849254the best song he ever did was Solsbury Hill
>>128861147This guy knows ball
