In posts like this one, he also ridiculously claimed to have played keyboards for Fugazi:
Claytron as Wernhem wrote:Let me put it this way. For many years, I couldn't get into King Crimson. Everyone would say "Oh, 21st Century Schizoid Man!" I don't think it's very good at all... When I heard "Red" I was impressed by how timeless it is (well, half of the songs). We all have our opinions, but I'm not the only one who thinks "In the Court" is not a good album, yet the vast majority of KC fans I have met think it's their opus.
I avoided Genesis for many many years. All I knew was the 80's stuff. I just started listening to the 1970-81 stuff maybe 2 years ago. I had no idea it existed... in fact, I was ignorant of all the great progressive rock (Magma, UZ, Present, Henry Cow, oh, I could go on and on...). Why? Because 75% of people that say they like "prog rock" are talking about the most obvious (and really not that good) stuff like ELP, Jethro Tull, King Crimson (in the court), Yes (the song "roundabout"), etc.
What can I say. I mean, Asslie Simeon proves that most people like shitty music. The most popular music tends to be the shittiest crap ever. There are exceptions. I don't blame the people so much as the industry that assumes that most people are idiots...
That said, I can understand the hatred of Zappa. I'm sure many Zappa fans are into the "You can't do that on stage anymore" or other shitty stuff.
When I played keyboards for Fugazi, we'd often play "Little Umbrellas" for a sound check. Those guys knew the real deal.
