i agree and it may show how unplanned work may give rise to perfection; the constraint of playing a "solo" for fripp gives a grounding for his melodies that it missing on even his OWN output!
@@peroduanippa You idiot: the guitar solo on "Baby's on Fire" from the "Here Come the Warm Jets" album IS ROBERT FRIPP, you stupid, ignorant, assinine, f*ucking moron! Keep your stupid, uninformed, factually incorrect, half-wit thoughts to yourself! You incompetent dullard!
Stranded Though it was the first without Brian Eno, who had left the group after For Your Pleasure, Eno nonetheless later rated it as Roxy Music's finest record
@@MrScumwhisperer I've always felt Eno's influence & direction was all over Stranded like the 1st 2 albums. It's only after Stranded that they really noticeably started more divergence from their original sound :)
Let’s face it, this song is basically silly and funny, intentionally so, I think. On Warm Jets Fripp launched it into the stratosphere of legendary rock tracks.
Baby's on fire Better throw her in the water Look at her laughing Like a heifer to the slaughter Baby's on fire And all the laughing boys are bitching Waiting for photos Oh the plot is so bewitching Rescuers row row Do your best to change the subject Blow the wind blow blow Lend some assistance to the object Photographers snip snap Take your time she's only burning This kind of experience Is necessary for her learning If you'll be my flotsam I could be half the man I used to They said you were hot stuff And that's what baby's been reduced to Juanita and Juan Very clever with maracas Making their fortunes Selling secondhand tobacco's Juan dances at Chico's And when the clients are evicted He empties the ashtrays And pockets all that he's collected But baby's on fire And all the instruments agree that Her temperature's rising But any idiot would know that
Sorry no where near as good as the album version, that blows me away every time i hear it & i bought the album the day it was released, wow it still sounds like the future!
Indeed! Without Fripp on that stellar guitar solo, it simply is not "Baby's on Fire." It is shocking that anyone would fail to appreciate the transcendent brilliance of the album version (the entire album is a masterpiece).
Brilliant - infinitely superior to the Warm Jets version - faster , tighter and a much clearer production - did they ever do Seven Deadly Finns in a BBC session anybody know?
