The OFFICIAL King Crimson Thread

Yeah, love King Crimson. Have to rate them in my all time top 5 progressive rock groups. Amazing musicianship. Need get a few more of their releases though . Right now I have Islands, Lark , Red , Lizard, Wake and Starless.

Starless... what a perfection?

The Night Watch happens to be my favorite song ever. In any genre. It's pure beauty and it's without a doubt my favorite song in general. John had such a great voice. Why he went to Asia is beyond me.

Well, UK was formed after a failed King Crimson re-union and then Crimson decided to make Yellow, Blue, and Red with Belew. Plus Asia was considered a pretty big arena thing for a while there so I'm sure he was raking in some good bucks.

Well they are recording a new album as we speak. 8 members now I think?

Well to sell millions of records and sell out concerts, something he did for a while with Asia.

Has anybody checked out "Live In Toronto"?
I love it. They finally sound as powerful as such a line up should.
I even have to say that Jakko sounds pretty damn good on it.

As for Jakko's voice, I'm still having a hard time with his
...kind of... ummm..."forced" 70's sound(?) ... is about the
only way I can describe it. Still, a keeper tho. (Remember
to pick up your camera only when Tony picks his up!)

I thought Jakko sounded boring and generic on the first live release, but he's doing just fine here.
Although he still makes Epitaph into kind of a snoozefest.

And yeah, Fripp's "feud" with people taking pictures is always amusing.

Well, I'm pretty close to your age, rostasi, but while most believe the Wetton albums are best, my favorite line-up is Belew-Levin-Bruford joining Fripp in the '80's.

Having said that, precious little KC outwardly sucks IMO
