Is Robert Fripp Overrated?

I'd say Fripp is underrated if anything. :D

No, I was talking about articulation not about excellence. I only said that some say Kurt Cobain was an excellent guitarist which is also a personal opinion.

Frippy. Overrated? A little 

Okay, scratch that. THAT is the best post on this site.

My good man, there is no such single entity as a "bad self"......nor is there what one might want to call a "good self" for that matter......

according to RF, actually, (as well as several other so-called "philosophers" and "theologians" throughout the centuries) ..........there are an "infinite" number of selves wrapped up inside one particular human body.......

This particular admirer of Fripp, Crimso Output  may go ahead and bring an end to this conscious existence very soon,......

however, I doubt that Fripp would mind, BUT ONLY if he doesn't know who I am or why I am dying........

The chances are very good that Robert Fripp will not miss my little measly 41-years of existence on this planet anyway..... as if I'm not as worthy as his mother for an acknowledgement of death and mourning........perhaps because his mother died of "somewhat" natural causes at a "reasonable age", but my death was self-perpetrated.

I have a mother, and there is NOTHING that he will say to her, period,

and, honestly.....why should he say something anyway?  I would doubt that he would be interested in communicating with the mother of a suicide perpetrator.  ha!  For all that I know, he may feel extreme contempt for both myself and my family members!    hmmmmfph!

in fact, he most likely will not even be made aware that someone committed suicide with "Starless & Bible Black" playing in the background.......ha!

And forget about Bruford.......he would NEVER EVER come to the knowledge that someone admired his work for x number of years, then committed suicide..........think about it, and think about the general attitude of these 2 men specifically when applied to "enthusiasts" or "admirers".....lol.

I don't think Robert Fripp is overrated. Even if he was, who cares? I sure don't. I admire his work with King Crimson and think he's one of the more original guitarists to perform this music. For me, it's Hackett, Gilmour, Fripp, Lifeson, and Howe all the way. These are THE prog rock guitarists. I'll except no substitutions.

Can't decide if providing TMI or just trolling.

I simply disagreed with your statement that jazz is overrated. I never said jazz was a complex form of music (as a whole, though sometimes it is complex). Those are two different arguments, the latter of which you just included into this discussion for no apparent reason.

ok maybe I wasn't precise. But when I read all those prog heads, their ultimate argument is: jazz this, jazz that, jazz is a noble kind of music. No it's not, it was played in night clubs in the 20's and 30's America it was music to entertain people on the f... dance floor.
