G3 palais des congrés: avis sur Robert Fripp

Hello,
j'ai eu l'honneur de voir le g3 à paris, place offertes par mon épouse, et enfin le reve se realise:
10 ans que j'ecoute et travaille du bon vieux satch et steve!
J'ecoute aussi Patrick rondat que j'ai eu l'honneur de voir en demo à la fnac de nimes, et qui nous avait confirmé son invitation au boeuf du g3.
donc je monte à paris dans un etat d'allegresse totale, mais 3 idoles guitaristiques dans le meme concert.
Mais helas, surprise: pas de patrick
Bon, revenons à robert fripp: trés bon guitariste du groupe connut de nom mais peut entendu cim crimson (orthographe ? ? ?). trés grand travail de musique contemporaine avec Boulez (en france ) donc guitariste experimental de musique savante rock !
Je m'attendai donc à un truc un peu bizarre mais là, je reste sans voix!
Votre avis m'interesse beaucoup sur la prestation de robert fripp le soir du concert!!!
Merci et sorry pour la longueur du texte

Si tu fait une recherche sur le forum tu trouveras 4 ou 5 post traitant du G3 ( et de Fripp surtout )

Exact, j'ai lancer mon sujet sans consulter!
Mais je tenais à rajouter sur la prestation de Fripp au g3 que les boucles d'effets OK, la guitare midi avec sequenceur OK, mais au niveau de l'harmonie, il a toujours utilisé les mêmes notes, accords (3 si mais oreilles fonctionnent toujours) dissonants avec le même mode etc...
donc en plus cela n'a pas l'air d"etre une impro vu ce que j'ai lus sur les autres sujets donc j'ai pourtant l'habitude d'ecouté et de travailler la musique contemporaine ,mias ici c'etait plutot plat et rebarbatif!
Si ils cherchait la reaction du public,, quel plaisir à se faire siffler ? ?
Deja trop applaudit peut-etre, à la recherche de nouvelles sensations?
Donc pour du rock, c'etait moyen! pour de l'electro, c'etait moyen! pour du contemporain avangardiste, c'etait moyen et depuis longtemps depasser!
Alors????

c'est la question qu'on se pose encore

Ptet que sa femme l'a largué et qu'il en a rien a faire de la life

Précision : c'est King Crimson...

ben moi j'y suis allé mais à ma surprise , Robert Fripp était sur le coté et pour couronner le tout c'était méga-fort (le son , mais pas pour robert fripp) mais jdois dire que je préfère satriani .

A Note From Steve VAI
Greetings All,

So sorry I have not sent more updates. I’m working on a big one that covers the Metropole project, the new CD and the G3 tour but at this time I want to tell you a little bit about the influence that Robert Fripp has had on me. As a youth I used to hear a lot about this guy but wasn't introduced to his music until I went out and bought “Exposure” when I was about 18 years old. This record had a profound impact on me. It was completely different from anything else that was going on at the time. I felt I was hearing a real musician that was using his guitar as a tool to create his art.

His music was unique. It was obvious to me that he could play just about anything on the instrument but playing the guitar was not the only thing he was doing. He was creating sounds and atmospheres that sounded like nothing else. There was such an aggressive edge and yet at other times it was profoundly beautiful. It was also obvious that he was a guy who was doing EXACTLY what he wanted and what he was hearing in his head, regardless of what any genre or trend was dictating. That is the epitome of musical integrity. This was inspiring to me and gave me the courage to make a firm resolve that I would do the same thing with my own ideas. Then I finally was introduced to King Crimson and…. Game over!

If you try to consider the coolest band that you have in your collections right now, that’s what King Crimson has been since the 70’s to many. It’s impossible to quantify the effect that this band (Robert's vision) has had on contemporary rock musicians. There would be no bands like Tool, Dream Theater, Mudvayne, Rush and so many others including Steve Vai the way you know him. There are treasures beyond measure in Robert's catalog and I sincerely suggest you take the time to discover these jewels.There are not many musicians I consider a true genius of the art and he is one of them. His musical intuition is real without any excuses. We can only hope to have that kind of honesty in our art.Now, G3 is a celebration of the guitar in all its permeations, and it will continue to be so, with or without me. I believe that what Robert is doing with his Soundscapes is cathartic Divinity. It’s about restraint and patience. If you attend one of the G3 concerts with Robert, I suggest you open your mind and let go of what you may be expecting and let the beauty of this man's sonic tapestries just wash over you. Joe and I will fill the air with all the violent Mongolian string abuse you can possibly handle for one evening.

By the way, If you are fortunate enough to dive into Robert's catalog for his guitar playing, you may discover that the man can shred Joe and I if he wanted to.Robert is a total gentleman, a lovely man and all of us have bonded nicely on this tour and Joe and I feel a reverent honor in having him with us.

Warm regards,

Mouais mais Steve est un vrai gentleman. Je suis sur qu'il pense complètement ce qu'il dit, mais si on cherche, on trouvera un article où il dit la même chose de Malmsteen à mon avis (génie créateur, a révolutionné le monde de la musique rock, très sympa, fais sa musique à lui sans se préoccuper des autres etc... etc...)
Article intéressant malgré tout
