What Do Prog Bands Think Of Each Other ?!

What Do Prog Bands Think Of Each Other ?!
Or Did they Think Of each Other at all ?
i am talking about English bands in particular like Floyd and Genensis ,Camel ,ELP ,King Crimson and the rest ...
The big guys in the business you know .
there's a lot more and they are from One country !
i think this might make a good topic to talk about .

I don't know what he thinks, but here are a couple of pictures of Keith Emerson after a Yes concert in Anaheim with the band, at least he goes to the concerts:

I know, it's spooky because of Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Rick, but they have to be good musicians not models. 

The only clear statements I read came from Phil Collins and were terrible, he said he rather listen some punk music instead of Pink Floyd or Yes, but he was not really a prog fan, just a drummer in a progressive rock band.

Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman are good friends i think, im sure Keith once helped Rick out on one of his solo albums by lending him some keyboards, i may be wrong!!

i know that i have heard many bands use the term "it's our dark side of the moon" when they are talking about their greatest album accomplishment. i remember on the classic albums: metallica dvd kirk says that about the black album

Hard to know much about this, without the ability to read minds....

Still, interesting -- WELCOME, kniprekcor!  Good to have an Egyptian here! (We had one before, but he seems to have left months ago.... tut tut!)

How about those pyramids, eh? Built by aliens, or humans? Paid workers, or slaves?

Too bad ol' Nappy's  troops blasted the nose off the Sphinx -- would-be world rulers tend to have precious little respect for history and culture....

Robert Fripp and Peter Hammill have long been mutual admirers - Fripp played on several Hammill/VDGG albums over the years.

Ian Anderson was apparently a big fan of Gentle Giant, who supported Tull on tour from time to time.

For the most part, I suspect the Spinal Tap 'This much talent!' moment sums up a lot of rocker's feelings about each other.

Also, I have heard Hammill and Fish were friends and I think even Hammill and Gabriel. Hammill is just a swell guy.

Yes and ELP will always be connected.  At one point they had major discussions about touring together.  Rick and Keith still talk about doing a project together.

If you're gonna show that picture.. might as well finish it off-- Here's Alan White attending a Keith concert...

Even Alice Cooper came to see Keith

and then Jordan Rudess with Keith, Rick and Bernie Worrel... Jordan said he was in 7th Heaven BTW

Looks even worse than my class reunion last year, and that's really saying something.
