Fripp is a great guitarist but I only really like his stuff with Bowie.

Aye that guitar lick in Heroes is a fave. Simple yet beautiful and really sticks in ones head.

the only prob they have is Nicky Wire is in them.

you mean, the bloke who writes most of the songs..?

Yes the very same.
Lyric writer I believe and JDB writes the music.

If it’s good as the Manics then it should be a good. He’s a good singer, good guitar player and songwriter and had the looks until he started eating all the pies.
The Manics are great but the only prob they have is Nicky Wire is in them.

FFS another musical genius has gone. Imho along with John Barry and Lalo Schifrin he was the finest composer of film soundtracks. His soundtrack to Fistful Of Dollars, The Good Bad And The Ugly etc was the 2nd album I bought after Black & White in 1978. RIP. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/entertainme...

No. I have heavily medicated resistant hypertension so it's not in my interests to contract CV19 and any form of social distancing is going to collapse in a packed boozer on a Saturday night - an atmosphere perfect for droplet inhalation and transmission. Doing this, the government might as well ca...

Can’t believe they didn’t film The Stranglers at Glastonbury. There’s one video on youtube of some folk walking up to see The Stranglers and filming as they do. When they get to The Stranglers it’s quite a wow moment, the audience is huge, it’s a headlining type audience and I believe they had a big...

Toyah & Robert Fripp's Sunday Lunch: Women Dancing to King Crimson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXErrpAHxkc

I’d like to see more dancing like that at Stranglers & Hugh gigs.

Hope it doesn’t happen for the youngsters but if it comes the ‘norm’ then they prob love it and won’t know any different. Very fuckin sad though. “Howay The Baz Warne plays tribute to The Stranglers are coming on!” “Put clutch on and put yer seat back and move yer head, I can’t see nowt and pass th...

In the Court of the Crimson King and Red are both top tier prog albums, IMO. The former is probably the first "classic" of the genre and was ahead of the pack with it being released in 1969. The breakdown in the middle of "21st Century Schizoid Man" is some absolutely top notch musicianship. Red, o...

I find doubling the Fripp doubles the hilarity.

Just watched that recently, yeah 2 Fripps for the price of a Fripp (no idea what a Fripp is or if it’s even a currency or not)

Im sure you all know Toyah and some may have heard of Robert Fripp and his band King Crimson. Amongst many things Fripp is the only constant member of King Crimson and also had a solo career and played that iconic signature guitar lick on Bowie’s Heroes song. You’ll prob know Fripp from his quite di...

So should ‘I Feel Like A Wog’, a song which can be easily misinterpreted be deleted from the No More Heroes album? Bring On The Nubiles will have to go too and Burning Up Times (the ending could be considered seriously dodgy) :? Personally I don't like the 'othering' connotations of the lyrics of I...
