Robert Fripp Talks About Peter Hammill

King Crimson's Robert Fripp, interviewed by Martyn Ware (founding member of Human League/Heaven 17) for his podcast 'Electronically Yours', is asked about Peter Hammill of Van der Graaf Generator.

[@meetontheledge]

Hammill is the world's greatest unknown musician. He is a poet, a composer and a singer, all to the utmost of human capacity. It is telling that so few recognise this.

Hendrix was the Hammill of the guitar

[@theo9952]

Since 1982 Peter Hammill has done us several times the honor of comming to play in Greece. Robert Fripp on the other hand, never bothered.

It took me a couple of listens to get VDGG, but when I got it I Loved it.

The Vital live version of Pioneers Over C is the greatest vocal performance of all time 🤪

Peter Hammill major major talent. No comparison.

[@philipferguson8570]

Really like Hammill. I'm from NZ.

[@GravyDaveNewson]

VDGG and Crimson have always been by favourite prog bands, I think they both do the extreme dymanics better than any other bands and this is evident from what Martyn and RF are talking about.

“H to He…” was the first VDGG record I heard, back in the 70’s and I was hooked there and then.

Aerosol Gray Machine & The Least We Can Do Is Wave worthy mentions of VDGG discography

ジョンレノンの下りをもっと聞きたかった。

Hendrix was a singer.

[@fabrikk60]

He was, but he didn't use his voice as his main instrument, especially an instrument that would break ground the way his guitar did. Hammill used his voice as his main instrument, and certainly broke ground with it in a big way.
