Well, look who decided to show up!🙂

shadowmarlin15 said:I have to be honest, I’m totally lost as to why Robert Fripp is even bothering with those two boring hacks. Honestly, hardly anyone in the crowd even knew who that little suit-wearing guy was. Even Pete Penava (who leads one of the absolute worst bands out there) couldn't name a single song from that King Crimson set that these three supposedly "world-class" guitarists played—and by the way, what do you call that tool used to measure the quality of someone's guitar playing?
Robert Fripp (who I truly thought was untouchable) has really hit a new low here.

A buddy of mine who was over in Chicago mentioned that Robert Fripp only ended up playing for about 20 minutes!
Well, then again, he doesn't really know who he is either... so, you know how it goes...

Some people claim Steve Vai is the absolute best on the planet, and honestly, I can't argue with that—he’s definitely sitting right at the top with the all-time greats like Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, and John Petrucci. I am absolutely obsessed with his work; stuff like *Answers*, *Die to Live*, and *The Ultra Zone* just hits different. His technique is nothing short of miraculous. And really, is there any guitar player out there who hasn't heard of "Eugene's trick bag"? It's legendary.

Aha! That guy is incredible. I mean, "For the Love of God" is absolutely stunning, but my absolute favorite has to be "Tender Surrender"... man, what an amazing track. Just hits different!
Even though I’m usually more of a Satriania guy, I have to admit that Joe is just on another level for me. His songwriting feels a bit stronger, too. In fact, I’ve got "With Jupiter in My Mind" playing right now.

WHICH TRACK IS HIS MOST ICONIC—HOLLYWOOD? SAN REMO? SCHUMACHER? 🤣 🤣 🤣

PIGGY 👋 PIGGY 👋 PIGGY 👋 PIGGY 👋 PIGGY 👋

P.S. WHERE CAN I PICK UP SOME OF HIS MERCH?

You’ve gotta listen to that Schumacher song 🙂 by LOLcin

I think I heard some rumors about them coming to Mexico City; .. and they say Fripp is part of the lineup too, but honestly... I'm not entirely sure.

That’s true for the music itself, but if we're talking about the "vibe" or the emotional depth? They really need to step up their songwriting. Definitely. It feels like such a waste of Kevin Moore's talent. That's just my take.

Oh man, totally hit the wrong reply button, oops!

What about you guys??

Musically speaking, in a sea of mediocre bands, they’re definitely a breath of fresh air;
That's true for the music itself, but when it comes to the actual "soul" or emotional depth, they really need to step up their game with the lyrics. Definitely. It feels like such a waste of Kevin Moore's talent. There, I said it.

so what about you guys??

honestly, I'm not quite as big a fan myself

forget that 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠

neonhawk53 said:I caught them live recently and they played three songs from that album. The crowd was chanting for Operation Mindcrime the entire night. Even the guys in the front row were yelling, "Give us Mindcrime or nothing!"

Whereabouts did you catch the show?

quietpuma3 said:I’d really love to hear some honest, unfiltered critiques from people who actually sat down and listened to him. Honestly, I’d even prefer hearing from folks who aren't necessarily die-hard metalheads or genre fanatics, but just people who appreciate good music for what it is, regardless of the style.

Of course, I'm open to all kinds of feedback...

👋

That album is an absolute classic in the prog rock world. It's inspired so many musicians out there today.
Operation : Livecrime is also incredible, though sometimes when I watch them live, it feels like Geoff Tate isn't hitting those exact notes from the record—he occasionally pauses or seems to be catching his breath a bit! But man, what an amazing album!!!!!
I've had BMA spinning on my digital player for a full week now.
If you haven't yet, I highly recommend listening to the whole thing while following along with the lyrics..
My personal favorite track of theirs has to be the last one, "INTO The EYES of The Stranger" !!
