brian eno baby's on fire

[theoldgeek1]

I remember that summer there was a neighbourhood party at the park. I was D.J. At the end I was a bit drunk, tired of playing top 40's pop and oldies, I decided to please myself, put the Baby's On Fire and danced the Fripp guitar's on fire. They all tought I was crazy or on heavy drugs or something. Man I was exhausted.

[unconsciouspilot]

The excellent Robert Fripp

I'm 13 and I am so in love with song my dad showed it to me we used to sing it together all the time but he got shot and now he's dead so I can't sing it with him any more :( r.I.p Roland Salvatore

[terrasweet]

@madrone61 cute~

[DaVooDooSnake]

2012 now, and this song still sounds fresh. Brian Eno at his best!

[movementsofhumanbody]

oh hell yea... 

[lyonslaforet]

There's something perverse in Brian Eno's singing!

[PhysicsForTheFuture]

Second hand tobaccos. The mind reels!

[youart06]

album got it's title from girl on cover squatting down having a pee while a guy holds up the back of her skirt -- "here come the warm jets"

[schmitty1977]

@youart06 that girl on cover is Brian Eno

[JDsmiffy1]

@schmitty1977 - he means the small playing card in the frame by the pack of Camel cigarettes. Eno's first 4 albums are the works of a genius.

[CMloveify]

I love how I discovered this song when I was like 15. And loved it even then.

[vintageification]

Fripp's riff is out of this world, his guitar is on fire!

[leonakita]

FUCKIN FRIPP RIPS THE SHIT OUT OF THIS AT 1:30 !

[maxmichaelhatling]

There is no time. Eno knows it. At least he came back for us. See ya when we get there/here.

[psychoteacher101]

@maxmichaelhatling as with much of Fripp's work from this time period (see "Heroes"), the guitar solo is totally improvised.

[CMloveify]

@maxmichaelhatling Because of things I've been hearing lately, what you just said makes some sense to me, and it never would have used to. Hmmm... I wonder if what I'm thinking is right.

[mce123]

"...and that's what Baby's been reduced to." Eno Rules

[DaniXDeathstar]

Juanita and Juannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

[NakedAndLaughing]

god i love this song i could listen to it over and over

[fanofprotopic]

this song STILL sounds futuristic even in 2011

[ragozhin]

my favorite guitar solo- this album overall was killer.... 

[Sibarit1973]

who are the three deaf people in dislike?

[dillinger9999]

bad ass song... I used to listen to this getting ready for school

[Jazmckay]

Fripp was posesed....



[klausgroi]

Robert Fripp's guitar is on fiaaaah, better throw it in the wataaahh

[JoeGroomlake]

@klausgroi hahahahahahaha true man true

[nextbid]

Maybe somethings wrong with my sound, but i got a lot of jumping (just little bits). This is Robert Fripp at his best. Actually we don't know what he was capable of. Imagine having a Jam with him 30 years ago when he was cutting loose!

[beachsided]

Its you,the sound is spot on,mate

@nextbid

[DaniXDeathstar]

And this isn't on Guitar Hero why?

[biscuitonia]

@DaniXDeathstar Cause Expert would break your fingers?

[DaniXDeathstar]

@biscuitonia Lmao! It would be so awesome though.

[finylvinyl66]

@DaniXDeathstar Because no Guitar Hero can play like Robert Fripp.

[barsness100]

I think this song is used in the lovely bones?!

[InvaderAlex22]

I love how 3/5 of this song is a guitar solo.

[Calvin12315]

LoveThis!

[vivemaker]

Baby's on FIAAAA!

[trilingual]

the guitar solo has peeled most of the paint off my ceiling . . .

[Anotherblackseason]

Robert Fripp is god, not Clapton!!!

[snake23ization]

@Anotherblackseason Clapton never was god...

[leaflettvideo]

best guitar from a guy in glasses brillialant robert fripp and eno

[kavazci]

GREAT TUNE

[Jofph]

Am still stunned hearing this track. Had the album when I was at highschool and still a teenager. How can someone come up with the idea to mold background noises into music? Well, Eno can. And then Fripp on guitar...what can we say? Great lyrics, superb future sound....

[interpolluter29]

The first time I heard this song was on Velvet Goldmine. I had no idea it was Brian Eno, to be honest, until I heard Her Come the Warm Jets at a museum exhibit. All of a sudden, I want to do two things: 1) buy the record and 2) get into using vinyl someday.

[katoklzmk]

rap, now off to look for Robert Fripp!! :D

[MrScotmac]

a soldering sondheim sissler

[kcufdam]

I associate this track with mind bending drugs and spinning out in clubs away back in the day!! Great fun.

[bunlandia]

@kcufdam i wish i was at a club that played Eno!

[kcufdam]

Bowie, Eno, Bolan, Can landed........... there has to be an odd one out?

[parapoly]

love that card picture. cheeky cheeky, naughty sneaky, crafty peeky

[bunlandia]

@parapoly album covers.... i mean real full sized, thought out, album covers, i miss them

[Guy4755]

Ferocious, blistering guitar solo from Fripp. And deliciously perverse lyrics from Eno. Loved it then, love it now. And note the playing card on the mantle, of the magician holding up the skirt of his assistant while she attends to the call of nature. Cheeky cheeky, naughty sneaky.

[TheSimonRowell]

@Guy4755

1st time i've heard this. It is great. if you have ever heard Robert Fripp being interviewed you would not believe he is capable of such a ferocious guitar solo. The bloke is a geek genius

[Guy4755]

@TheSimonRowell I've listened to this countless times since 1973, and I never tire of hearing it. Eno has said himself that he'll never be able to write lyrics like this again. And '73 was a good year for ferocious guitar, as demonstrated by James Williamson's playing on the Stooges' RAW POWER album of the same year. I saw him play with the Stooges in April of this year in Ann Arbor, and I was not disappointed.

[glamamy]

leaves me breathless...

[Weareinside]

the guitars on this track KILL!

Robert Fripp classic

[knarf935]

@Weareinside adrian belew

[krzbug999]

2011 and this song still sounds fresh. love it

[RiverPlateCavenaghi9]

@krzbug999 Daaaaaammmnnn, yeeeaahh....

[CMloveify]

@krzbug999 Any good artist will sound fresh through anything ;)

[SyphilisNoodles]

Better throw her in the water.
