King Crimson

[Mr. Josey Wales]

oh yeah did anybody notice michael giles' drumming on ITCOTCK???

showed bruford how its done

 

[Detric]

Best prog band in the world, mabe even better than Pink Floyd.

 

[Ebonic Plague]

What a Great band...

I think Trey Gunn is the Bass player to put your Dollar on for best Bassist.
They dont miss a beat, stay with the times and even get better. Bruford is in everything good, KC, Yes, Earthworks, Gordian Knot, to name a few.

Mikael Sounds more like Greg Lake From ELP to me listen to Brain salad surgery Mikael is just a bit deeper maybe because of the Death stuff, Influenced by many though i agree.

king crimson was best in their early 70s period (larks' tongues, starless, red)

but i think we can all agree that the best KC song is "elephant talk"

 

[deliverance]

KC is incredible. i would sound like a broken record, if i continued, however.
best albums: ITCOTCK, Lizard, Red, Lark's

i love king crimson. red is my particular favorite, although in the court of the crimson king is a close second. i hear ALOT of crimson in opeth. (mainly red-era.. there are times listening to a fair judgement' where i swear i;m listening to one of the tracks on red. and mikaels singing voice always sounded to me like a cross between king crimson's greg lake and john wetton)
another favorite band of mine, Tool, reminds me alot of a heavier version of adrien belew-era crimson. I missed the tool/kingcrimson show when they were on tour a few years ago, but that must have been amazing to see.

I once had a little respect for the band TOOL until I heard "Frame By Frame" by King Crimson. You'll notice at around the one minute mark of this track, a very familiar riff is played. TOOL ripped off this riff note for note. I know everyone rips bits and pieces off other bands, but 46 and 2 was the song that really broke the band world wide. Pitty.uke:

Err, note for note? Do your ears function correctly?

well what can i say, you're totally wrong

 

[Rick from Oddyssey]

'Red' is my current favourite of theirs

I agree, Red came out in 1974, but you can hear riffs on that album that could have come from Voivod, Opeth or Porcupine Tree... Very, Very avant-guarde.

Cheers !
