And where are you reading in and getting all that?
Look, go approach Neil Young during a soundcheck and say, "Hey, Neil have you heard of Keiji Haino before? What do you think of his playing?" and he'll probably give you a nice, complimentary response. But say something like, "Hey Neil, I think Keiji Haino is great...he's even better than Jimi Hendrix," and Neil might just laugh at you, although he probably would greet your impetuousness with a bemused grin and his eyes rolling and honestly not know what to say to one such as yourself.
As for porkmarras' "pfft," I regard it with amusement because he shows that he doesn't know anything about Fahey. To disregard the obvious fact that Fahey played in open tunings just shows that he's unwilling to even acknowledge the most basic of facts. And again, although I do like Fahey (I think he's creative and I love his sound), the artists on the earlier recordings that inspired him would have probably not thought much of his playing.
