        Actually, you may talk about any of these as they fall 
        into the category of progmetal which I, in a departure 
        from some previous moderators, am allowing. And that's an 
        official moderator ruling. 
 
 CR> Robert Fripp, of all people, as the opening act.  I was kind of 
 CR> curious, does he play old King Crimson stuff anymore 
 
        He does when he's playing with King Crimson, as on his 
        last couple of tours with that band, captured for 
        posterity on the King Crimson _B'Boom_ album recorded 
        live in Argentina. It's not a bad album but neither is it 
        a great departure from _Thrak_ so if you have one you
        don't really need the other, IMO. 
 
        Anyway, if Fripp is listed as appearing solo it's very 
        likely he won't do any Crimso material but instead would 
        be doing ambient music of the Frippertronics type. He's 
        done some shows like that recently that supposedly are 
        very good *if you like that sort of thing* though if you 
        go expecting Crimso you might be very disappointed. 
 
 CR> ....(ya know, Vai would 
 CR> actually be on topic, wouldn't he?  He did play with Zappa!) 
 
        Yes, Vai is on topic because of playing with Zappa and 
        because of his first solo album and because of 
        sucessively smaller and smaller parts of each subsequent 
        solo album. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
