you're not even sure how to spell menace?

Well...

I've met Fripp, and actually spent some time talking with him, as well as having a beer with him and Eno.  Whatever he may be like "in a band," he is one of the most reserved, kind gentlemen it has ever been my pleasure to spend time with.  Perhaps he simply "doesn't suffer fools gladly."

Again, although I have no idea what they may be like "in a band," I've met the following proggers socially, with the following results:

Gabriel: Met him post-Genesis.  A truly sweet, even humble man.

Gilmour: Met him in 1995.  Kind, funny, engaging.

Yes (Anderson, Squire, Howe): Met them on The Ladder tour.  Nice, engaging people.  Actually also had a private dinner with Squire and his manager once.  Squire was a bit reserved then, but by no means unkind or mean-spirited.  He just seemed tired.

Belew: Met him during the Levin/Bruford Crimson years.  Funny, engaging, sweet.

Wakeman: Haven't met him personally, but spent quite some time interviewing him for the site.  My comments on him - honest comments, not "sucking up" - can be found in the preface to the interview.  He was also quite kind in a short tete-a-tete in which I had some more personal questions, many of which he answered quite humbly.

Re Emerson, Lake, Wakeman and others, you'd have to speak with threefates, who spent more time with them than I did.

Peace.

Heptade:

No, but boy have I tried!  I wanted to interview them, but that never happened.  I caught them live quite a few times, but never got to speak to him (or any of them, for that matter).  Given that they are among my five favorite bands in the world, I would very much like to meet them, especially Kilbey, whom I consider among the great rock poets (along with Dylan, Morrison, Mitchell, et al).

Who know?  Kilbey may still agree to that interview...

Peace.

P.S.  My review on this site of "Forget Yourself" was "lifted" into their official site...

Not really prog but Yngwie malmsteen pissed off the entire country of Brazil

edit-after looking at the thread again i see people already mentioned him so its not just me that thinks hes a jerk
