This is the best comment section on UA-cam, hands down. Well done all you clever buggers.
Mine's the best.
Im half way through it and there are some juicy pineapples in there
This comment section sucks. Bunch of chads who want to give talented eccentrics wedgies. Harhar.
CFan What have you done lately? “Shit - goddamn - get off your ass and jam!” even if it’s an Ovation guitar pulled out of a dumpster, or tin cans and a drumstick. The big coffee cans are great - you can alter the pitch by where you strike it, or by using your thumb to add tension.
The side ridges are good for raking with a drumstick.
I love their music but the comments are great. Most Fripp fans make fun of RF and his over-the-top and often hyperbolic display of emotion when he performs live.
These were the King Crimson fans that never tried drugs.
The ones that did ended up in Tool.
😂
Haha!! That’s great!
Rumour has it that once Fripp is finished with teaching a new "League of Crafty Guitarists", he eats the best performer in the class in order to absorb their guitar prowess.
sweet genius?
@@3three3three3three lmao yeah
The immortal fripp
He eats them in order to mantain his guitar prowess.
He has gained a little weight over the past years
My wife from the other room "this is divorce music"
She's a keeper lol
Five minutes before I read this comment my wife said "Music to make your wife disappear?"
@@ScrapsG My wife's dead.
She ain’t lying 🤣😂
LOL
imagine them all walking together into an unsuspecting music shop saying " is it ok if we try out a few of these guitars ? "
That is seriously an incredible idea for a horror film scene!

I give this performance a sitting Ovation.

Brilliant! I'm floored!
Yea, it was kind of funny watching all of those people playing with their guitars on the side of their hips because the 1/4” jack input is usually placed in the crouch area of those guitars making it difficult to play without standing up.
an oddly tuned Ovation
Hilarious

ThePeanutButterCup13 Is the ? a classic passive-aggressive response, in order to shift the discussion and change the agenda? If you have something you want to say, why don’t you just say it? Does “brilliant” describe the music, or the comment? Know what you say, and say what you mean.

Sorry tan shirt, I only have parts for 27 guitars on this one.
Fripps sense of humor is impeccable
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He is there to provide silence.
You think I'm joking.
He's normally a Triangle player but it didn't fit the vibe on this one
I'm sure as a minimum 75% of those guitarists are being held against their will and the other 25% are clearly mentally ill
Notice how non of them tap their feet . That's because they have been nailed in place to prevent them from running .
Hahaha
so far you win, but it's only been 4 years
... and they've been forced to do finger exercises until they can't even hold a fork anymore
Fripps style is stoic discipline.they are following perfect direction.they are as classical musicians.
Gary Wordsworth you’re wrong they’re all android robots having been preprogrammed,. To make these exact sounds into songs or possibly clones of the frippery mind body concept...against their will? There is no will any more just emptiness in sound and such. I am watching further thinking just clones of the one real person Fripp,.. oh yeah, there’s nothing wrong with Fripp clones and it’s easier to do these days,..
Shit gets real at 8:37. Fripp is watching over all of them like a demon
😂😂😂
I would hate to be the guy directly next to him and make a mistake.
Far out, and you dare not look at the fretboard. Not even an eye movement. With Fripp watching over could be punishment probably via whipped with cat o' nine strings!

@@MrHaney..both the comments you answered to were sarcastic
While the League was known popularly for their guitar performances, their real work was in crime fighting, espionage and even the occasional covert toppling of dictators. The whole "guitar" thing was just a cover for Fripp's true passion: Justice.
Lore 🧠
Robert Fripp has the ability to be the god-like boss character in an RPG while also providing his own score
This is what I have come to expect from the dangerous brain of Robert Fripp and his gang of sympathizers. More please.
8:37... he looks like a Bond villain watching over his subjects whilst plotting and scheming world domination via dissonant progression.
his gang of (human sequencers) synthesizers?? :D
A truly whelming experience.
It’s just right
Surely whelming.
This is a very underrated comment.
I feel whelm in my cockles.
Loved playing this on Guitar Hero.
I tried, but my 12 year old nice still beat me.
???? Is this a joke
hahahaha as a fripp fan for forty years i laffed

Yeah... the Ovation guitar cult! ;)
Sounds Eno-ish? Or is it Oldfield-ish?
Frippish.
"He's just this guy, you know?" ;)
that comment was like being hit in the head with a lemon slice wrapped around a gold brick,
I would just sit there and try to jam regular blues pentatonic riffs and see how long I survived
You wouldn't. Pretty sure the guitars are tuned in NST. Fripp's "new standard tuning." BTW it's still not the standard...
Dude... sync up to the frequency residence. You must be strong of Cunning.
And slow to Wrath.
No you wouldn’t - first, you’d never pony up the bucks to attend a class like this, because you think you already know everything there is that needs to be known, that is important - and fail to notice that Things To Know only ratchets upward, when you know them, or think you know them. If pentatonic jams float your boat, and that’s all you need, why do you care that others are learning things that you don’t even want to know?
@@samandor1 I believe the comment was self-deprecating, not critical or dismissive of these players or their knowledge.
This sounds like stairs falling down themselves. I love it
But you're listening to the whole thing in reverse
You would really like a Jacob’s Ladder toy
I am sitting here at Bahrain airport, headphones on and tears of laughter running down my cheeks. No-one knows why. Brilliant comment!

a whole group of "that guy at work nobody likes" playing discordant polyrythms. great
there's a woman
Indeed. Were I not already happily married, I would propose!
LMAO. They really are all that guy
I've met most of the players here and they're actually some of the nicest people, sorry.
"discordant"? where did your ear learn music?
...don't worry. As long as we stay perfectly still they can't see us. They can only sense the movement...
So much expressionless rage behind his eyes, and the Himmler-esque eyeglasses are NOT helping him blend into his army of hell-bound acolytes.

Robert Fripp truly has an extraordinary odd sence of humour
@5:44 I CAN REMEMBER ITS IN BOSTON!
As your spelling.
Typically English, this sense of humour
I wore out my Crafty Guitarists tape, just walking around town... listening... and I was thinking... this is a dangerous place...
Are you a Cop?
Naah, musician… 😊
She was refering to a line in a King Cimson song. " this is a dangerous place..."
@@user-zt2wc3uh1l i know, it was a bad joke, my first comment was a reference to the same.
I believe this is the music from the final boss fight in Double Dragon II on NES.
are you the mean teacher from anne with an e
You can tell at around 10:30 Fripp is questioning all the choices that lead him to be the kind of person that would write and perform Darts. His eyebrow gestures must be regarded as a cry for help from a man consumed by a masochistic compulsion to practice.
"Oh god this song is horrible what have I done??"
Strong AC/DC influences
Coolest nightmare ever.
Seriously, Fripp has one extraordinary mind.
Its called schizophrenia

HAHAHAHA! Best comment yet!
If the only reason you have a guitar is to get laid, there are probably easier props to carry around. Maybe you just need to change your wallpaper, or listen to a different radio station. Or get a motorcycle, or a boat!
Samandor I sense that the joke was lost on you.

Robert Fripp. A very talented man. Very lucky too, having played with Bowie on one of his best albums and he gets to see Toyah coming out of the shower every morning.
The one guy in the front left doesn't do anything, he's just sitting there like he's storing energy to bust out a solo, but nothing...brilliant.
Why does he have to have a guitar if he doesn't play a note? My only guess is sympathetic buzz
That's the spare in case one breaks down.
He plays when he's not on camera, you can hear it if you pay attention
@@deanstanley2125 Fripp's said that guy is there to "play the silence that is a part of music"
@@adam_levine could be, but there were some folks on the King Crimson subreddit who said that was a passive-aggressive way for Fripp to say that the guy had messed up on a previous performance and had to sit out here. Idk though.
Fripp is like Phil Spector, but without the gun fetish and emotions. He's a highly functional sociopathic musical genius.
I mean, he used to be tone or rhythm deaf before playing guitar, later rearranging his whole musical thinking by himself with only his bare mind. It doesn't get creepier than that
long live to mental disorder
Fripp is no sociopath. Brilliant, introverted, pedantic, and obsessive-compulsive.
He has said that he was but I'm pretty sure that he wasn't actually tone and rhythm deaf, just not that great right at the beginning. If he was truly tone and rhythm deaf I'm pretty sure all the practice in the world wouldn't have made any difference.
You simply cannot be a sociopath with a Dorset accent.
Only Robert Fripp would invent a guitar tuning that about seven people in the whole world use and call it The New Standard Tuning...
Imagine Fripp and Philip Glass together.
not a bad idea...
Michael Cox, well, considering that violins, violas, cellos, mandolins & some other instruments are tuned to 5ths NST makes sense because it makes it easier for a larger group of musicians (i.e., classical musicians) to be able to pick up a guitar & play it.
If you know how to play mandolin you wouldn’t have much issue playing in NST.
@@ThrashRebel It's less about tuning in fifths and more about that he called it "New Standard Tuning" even though the entirety of guitarists using it fit into a single room. But then again, he also called a tape looping delay "Frippertronics" and a combination of effects and loops "Soundscapes by Robert Fripp", so I'm just surprised the songs aren't called "Fripping to Frippistan" and so on.
@@fredmachine fripping on frippistan
You sir, just Made my day
actually 8 people i'm using right now
When you put all the midi instruments on a track as acoustic guitars you get this
But seriously Fripp's effort to push guitar playing forward is admirable
Hahahaha so true 🤣
I heard when Robert Fripp heard black midi for the first time, he said it was too easy to play and added a Chapman stick.
@@alfsmith4936The Fripperman on a black midi track would be beautiful.
I believe this was Fripp’s big experiment with his rhythmic concepts and the New Standard Tuning he has devised. With a group of students to play his experiments, it allowed him to filter out what would go into modern King Crimson albums and what would go to the cutting floor. Quite a success I must say.
Agreed, for example: Thrak. Anyway, most of their repertorie was composed by the students, in this video Darts and Calliope are Fripp's authorship, but i think overall, if you listen to the live albums, 80% or 90% of the repertorie was made by students.
I saw Robert Fripp and the League of Crafty Guitarists in 1990. Odd vibe. Beginning of the performance was an uncomfortably long silence, meditation I guess. Then they proceeded to noodle on and on, just like they do in this video. I was dysphoric for weeks after. Kind of looks like they were taken hostage and made a forced confession video.
Under Fripp's system, properly doing nothing is a necessary precedent to doing something properly. It's about enhancing performance and proper body ergonomics through heightened self-awareness. It draws very heavily upon the Alexander Technique.
@@GwaliaMusic So I suppose these people were there against their will? No, my friend. This is Guitar CRAFT. It's an exercise in developing the CRAFT of playing the guitar. To be an inspired musician, it helps to develop your craft to the point where your hands can literally take you anywhere inspiration can possibly take you. Hence all of GC's emphasis on body mechanics and efficient movement. This is a level of craft that can be achieved by those who aren't stoned off their arses like The Beatles. I get it, there's more to music than the craft, but Guitar Craft exists primarily for this reason. It enabled many of these folks to be able to go off and do some really wicked stuff on their own. Trey Gunn is a good example. Some of his solo stuff is just savage and beautiful.
If I were to play under Fripp's direction I would absolutely pretend my participation is nonconsentual
"I was dysphoric for weeks after" ahahahaha
Maybe he was listening to a lot of Residents albums for a few years before.
What a bunch of nerds. Love em.
I like to imagine Fripp packs them up when he goes on tour just in case he needs them.
They can't wait to get home to their model train sets
If you see some people not playing... I believe Robert established a policy that if you were unsure about the level of any particular contribution you might make to the team's music... you did not have to play. Just sit and listen and try to learn. No pressure. This was in good degree a school for young guitarists, of course: a training program.
+John G. Lewis I recall reading - I believe it was in Eric Tamm's book on Fripp/Guitar Craft - that the gentleman in the lower right was asked by Robert to "provide the silence" in visual form, as silence is the source form which music emerges.
vealcutlet Ok...
Does anyone know if any of these players moved on to achieve any sort of success outside of this group in the way that, for example, Steve Vai did after Frank Zappa? Just curious.
It's not ability that gets success, it's the ability to write good music or improvise good solos when you're In a band. Cak is cak, even if brilliantly played.
David Scott , yes some went on to have lucrative careers. Google California Guitar Trio or Trey Gunn.
This stuff would go down well in North Korea.
Truth
except if would be played by 11 year old girls and not 40 year old virgins.
Yeah cause they can appreciate great music
The third set of guitarists were caught expressing emotions during the performance. I hope their families have been properly notified and their remains buried with respect.
LOLOLOL! trying to find a witty repost but i'm too busy pissing my pants!
I found myself humming this all day. A right ear worm!
The run that Fripp does at 8:50 is outstanding.

hmm
really? if that's a legit quote (and it does rather sound like him), you/himself might have just unlocked a big piece of my heart
Right. Said Robert Fripp one day in his life. The next day he said, "I'm not really interested in life - it's just something to do until you die."
Im not really interested in drugs. Drugs are just a means of creating a magical cult.
I was so relieved to hear some notes lasting longer than a 1/16th.... it filled me with deep joy 💥😜💥 x
HERETIC! THOU SHALT HAVE NO TIME VALUES OTHER THAN THE HOLY SEMIQUAVER, BLESSED BE THE SIXTEENTH NOTES, OF TAIN (Wink wink, allan)
the triplet piece towards the end! yes!
Alternate picking, polyrhythms, and no breaks. Just keep hammering away at that ovation.
Asperger's Shredding needs to establish itself again
Wow, this takes me back. I was at one of the Boston shows at the Paradise he mentions at around 6:30 i think? And yes indeed, there was someone onstage at every show he called the "Practitioner of Silence". I think they picked a different member each show to 'practice silence".
He'd get his guitar ready before each song, with the pick all poised and ready to go, and then not play a note. I even remember him checking his tuning between songs with the rest of them! :)
I also recall Fripp did his usual Q&A session with the audience and someone asked about his "New Standard Tuning" (CGDAED) and he wouldn't say what it was, but he did play each open string and said "Those with ears will hear" hahahahaha
The music track to my last prostate examination.
I introduced a buddy to King Crimson and after watching Fripp play for several minutes, he turned to me and said very seriously, " my god...he is just like little Stewey with a guitar.."
The way they glance at each other with knowing rhythmic eroticism and a wry smile is magical. "Ooh Yau!"
So this is what lack of love sounds like
lol
And countless hours home
My Bloody who? This is true lovelessness in musical form!
Ha that’s hilarious
Why yes Robert a glass of Kool-Aid sounds lovely right now.
This is one of the best comments.
You walk in the room late at night. You flip the light on in a dark house. 8:59 is the music you suddenly hear, the lights flip on. Everyone is staring at you, just like at 8:59. H O R R O R !!!

A guitar orchestra. Sounds mystic. Does sound highly innovative. This is vintage Robert Fripp.One of the most fascinating guitarists around today.
I had a chance to see Fripp and L.O.C.G. perform in Madison WI 1990.
It was Absolutely Amazing. This is so cool being able to stumble onto this again.
If Insanity itself could be converted into music and weaponized, this would definitely be it! Imagine an army of guitarists being able to use chord and melody structures to hypnotize and mesmerize any audience at will.
The riffs and melodies are so original and out of the box, that it goes beyond what the human mind can even conceive.
I love this. Getting that synth vibe from just acoustics is amazing
