Fanboy challenge for Amerigo Vespucci

[Fire Walk With Me]

Okay buddy boy, the gloves are off...which Robert Fripp release (with or without a specific "Band" involved) features a Monty Python sample?

1. JEEPERS, Fire Walk With Me, I have no IDEA which Robert Fripp composition features...

...a backwards excerpt from the flying sheep sketch.

Looks like you've stumped the master, Haaden Two...er, I mean, "Fire Walk With Me." I am truly humbled.

2. So you admit you're as bad a fanboy as myself? Oh, Thrak!

;) :toast::hi:

wait a second...did you Google for that? ;)

3. Not so fast there, tough guy...I never said I wasn't!

I was first exposed to KC via a group of friends who were heavily into Prog, but I think the moment I crossed the fanboy line was when I saw Fripp on Peter Gabriel's first solo tour...Gabriel introduced him as an "obscure country guitar player, Dusty Rhodes." He sat on his ubiquitous stool, while Steve Hunter (Alice Cooper, Lou Reed), dressed from head to toe in black leather, stomped around the stage making guitar faces and playing the "rock star" role. At one point Gabriel performed "Here Comes The Flood," but as it is performed on Fripp's "Exposure" album, not his own...very stripped-down. There's that moment that I believe comes right after the line "the hollow shoulder, across the water," where Fripp plays one note...and he bends and sustains the living hell out of it, a real thing of beauty. Well, he played that note. And a guy behind me bellowed

"FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!"

And I thought "Fripp INDEED."

After that show I pretty much wanted to hear everything he recorded before and after that show.

So THERE.

4. I also love Gabriel's version of "..Flood". Beautiful stuff.

Cool story :toast: :hi:

5. Here are two more...Gabriel walked out into the audience at that show

When he was performing "Waiting For The Big One," he slowly walked down from the stage and into the audience. He just sang the song, expressionless, but made a point to establish eye contact with people on the aisle seats as he slowly walked by. I had an aisle seat.

And, as I have shared here before, the opening act was INEXPLICABLY Yesterday & Today, before they became known as Y&T and had that MTV hit with "Summertime Girls." At this point in time they were just a tenth-rate hair band. The closest thing they had to a hit was their song "Alcohol," which was basically the braying Yeti of a lead singer howling "Al-co-HAWWWWWWWWWL, Al-co-HAWWWWWWWWWL, Al-co-HAWWWWWWWWWL" while his equally clueless and equally hairy bandmates thrashed around behind him. The Peter Gabriel audience did not fully appreciate this band. One of the friends I went with yelled "PLAY SLOOP JOHN B" repeatedly through their set.

They were booed off the stage when they finally finished...

...AND THEY CAME BACK FOR AN ENCORE!

Now THAT's confidence.
