Matching Fripp.

    I was reading that thread about Fripp and the couple of guys that were in a picture on some tour about guitar freaks or something like that. The thread turned into somekind of debate about how talented Fripp is and how less talented the other guys etc. Now, if you ask me, the only guitar player that could "own" Fripp is mr. Frank Zappa, since his way with the guitar is absolutely bezerk. The style of Frank Zappa's solos is so abundant, inventive and resourcefull, that makes me look at Fripp as just a very methodical guy. Off, course, that's a subjective impression. What is not that subjective is the fact that both of them are more than talented players, and that they both, on their respective approaches, also extended those talents to the field of intense composition. While Fripp experiments are somekind of Zen soundscape, Zappa's orchestral works are just incredible; very well manufactured, still representative of Zappa's very particular point of view (humor in music), and earn the respect of Pierre Boulez, wich is quite something.
