When you can’t find your copy of Amplifier Worship, this is the next best thing.

Rainbow is the best imo. Saw that one on tour andI think my hearing is still f***ed up from it.

Yeah, Michio Kurihara is an absolute beast. He also slays in Ghost too. He was using those cranked Twin Reverbs right?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Cranked Twin Reverbs? As in plural?

Hopefully he was playing out on a distant island.

...on the f***ing Moon.

Yeah, I've seen him with Ghost too.

Have you heard his solo album?

Well, when you’re competing with this:



you gotta pull out the big guns.

@Gurglesons, which one? Sunset Notes? That one’s beautiful. I gotta dive a bit more into his back catalog though.

Yeah Sunset Notes. That album rips hard.

I just got Out by White Heaven on vinyl. Guess they repressed it.

Oh dope, I gotta see if anyone out here in the boonies carries it. Love me some Japanese psych guitar meltdowns + pastoral tone poems.

Any other fans of Plini 'round here?

The new Iceage album is pretty sweet.

Yeah, I wasn't too sold on their first two albums, but the last 3 have been really good, IMO.

I don't know that I could name a single one of his songs by ear but Plini is one of a group of really good prog instrumentals that I like to put on while working during the day. Plini, Chon, Scale the Summit. Sithu Aye is pretty good as well although for whatever reason, I never really got into Polyphia at all.

1-Apologies for the potato quality but cmon, it was 1981
2-Fripp/Belew/Levin/Bruford were amazing in their way but they probably should have gone ahead and used the name Discipline as originally intended. Not sure the stuff they did really fit with the King Crimson oeuvre
3-The visual here is 100% a group of high school science teachers deciding to get together and form a band in their spare time
4-Just picture a teenage Les Claypool listening to this and taking furious notes

Fripp/Belew have to be two of my all time favorites on the guitar.

Maybe two of my favorite solos by each:

Just think, there's a whole generation of kids now that only know Robert Fripp because he releases weekly cover songs with his wife who likes to show off her nips.

"Who is this crazy old math professor and why is his wife wearing a see-through piece of red gauze?"

It's pretty terrific that he plays through what sounds like a 10 dollar practice amp he found in a dumpster somewhere, too.

Nippertronics!

Tony Levin is the dorkiest person ever.

Discipline is such a good record though.

This just in: The Butthole Surfers’ Locust Abortion Technician still f***ing rips.

That Chapman Stick fits Tony to a T. Gonna pull out Larks' Tongues in Aspic and dig on John Wetton. Coming up on its 50th year anniversary.
