Highest paid tribute band?

View attachment 7255528

I knew that.

As I said in my comment about the members and their previous forays in King Crimson. I was be funny as Robert is not playing with them but kinda called the shots about the music, band, and suggested the name.

😊
Yeah, Robert doesn't want to tour anymore. Plus, he's busy supporting Toyah's stuff, propping up her musical forays. Gotta take care of the wife, right? Their "Sunday Brunch" posts on You tube were hilarious during Covid lockdown.

Fripp didn't do many interviews but every one is worth ten listen to's. The guy is an incredible genius. He has been behind the scenes of so many great bands and music, responsible or partially responsible for some of the greatest stuff of the 70's, 80's and even 90's.

Yeah, he still plays with Toyah's band. Interesting, he retuned his guitars to E and conventional scale when he started playing with Toyah a few years ago. He had to change everything, relearn how to play the power chords, etc. Belew always played tuned to E but Robert used some exotic tuning and scales that I never heard of, or probably couldn't pronounce properly if I knew what they were.

I have a hard time watching Toyah sing, she just isn't that great, but she is beautiful and the perfect blend for Robert's weirdness, and they have great fun together. Everyone should be that lucky, to find a perfect match like that?
