 Topic: Great bands! Annoying musicians
Posted: October 03 2009 at 21:52 |

I was just on last.fm on king crimsons profile and went to view the pictures and
Images for King Crimson are unavailable
Due to certain legal restrictions imposed on Last.fm by King Crimson's Management, we are currently unable to display images or accept image uploads to this page.We apologise and are working to resolve this matter.
I hate to be quick to judge but my guess Fripp has banned us from seeing photos now of our favourite band as well as any music previews of any Fripp affiliation.And it has annoyed me greatly and instead of making a Fripp bashing thread,I wondered if any of you get frustrated by musicians from bands you like?Perhaps their ego or something as simple as bad musicianship.And does it change the way you listen to the band?
Also Axl Rose and Lars Ulrich anger me greatly for obvious reasons.
and yes I'm sorry I made a negative thread before anyone says.

Pretty much everyone in Dream Theater, especially John Petrucci. Seems like they all think (and sort of know) they're faster than everyone else.
And DT still haven't evolved past their whole "Look at me, mom!" phase.

 Ooops, sorry... Seriously, do you really think that album is purely emotionless complex music? Be honest here, don't be based on the fact you dislike Dream Theater... (just curious, of course)

I never said DT were void of emotion, and I think Hell's Kitchen is a perfect example of their ability to blend both pure emotion and technical brilliance. But to be honest, the thing I don't like about Dream Theater isn't really exclusive to Dream Theater at all. I just can't get into music that is (often) based around technical ability. I love DT's first 4 albums, but after that...

Looking at a picture of Robert Fripp is just like going to a store and shoplifing a poster.
What if you used that picture for a variety of unsavory purposes that Mr. Fripp does not approve of? What if you masturbated to it? You can understand why that would weird him out.

That's, a very "interesting" perspective

Not masturbating to pictures of Fripp is the equivalent to never being able to listen to King Crimson.

It might prevent Robert masturbating to it I guess.

Maybe you should go check out Classical music ... see a symphony orchestra play, or a solo pianist. You'll see that music is a lot about prowess and skill, like it or not, pretty much regardless of genre (except for a few which expressly oppose those virtues).

I think Robert Fripp is a very attractive man, but if he forbid me to look at his pictures, I would gladly obey.

It doesn't exactly fit the topic "annoying musicians" ... but it always annoys me when musicians make great albums and then make it hard for their fans to buy them. For example, I'm waiting for Indukti, Umphrey's McGee and Beardfish to make their latest albums available at Amazon MP3 or eMusic ...

Does it not annoy you that he takes away all pictures,videos & audio away?KC are going to become virtually completely un-accessible to any upcoming music fan (not that their music style is accessible anyway ).I suppose people will just illegally download it if their really curious and I can't say I blame them.

I just went to KC's last.fm page and there are a bunch of photos. What are you talking about?

No matter what is he is doing, I can't help but admire Fripp greatly both as a musician and as a person. While I lack his discipline, when I listen to him, I identify with him. His interests, perspectives and demeanour echo my own to quite an extent.
