Robert Fripp's riff in this song is impossible... You can play like for 10-15 seconds at most and you lose it, but he just keeps going and going... Dann, that's just impeccable technique...
Haha I used to play it as part of my warmup. Don't forget that the bar set by the older generations is meant to be leapt over.
And then there's Fracture...
And Tony Levin.. come on...onnnnnnnnn
You watch him play and it's like he's a spectator. Not even really paying attention to what he's playing.
It"s super easy after a year :D
So both guitars are playing the same riff, but one of them's playing it with out the last note so it's in 13/8 instead of 7/4 right? And everytime they play the riff the second guitar lags behind by an extra note, and they get more and more out of sync until eventually they're exactly one bar apart and they start play at the same time again, it's crazy shit bro, you gotta hear it
Well, a good demonstration of this is Clapping Music by Steve Reich. Likely where Fripp got inspiration.
I thought Fripp was 6/8 and Belew was 7/8.
@@Blech319 Fripp drops a note on what would be two 7/8's, making it a 13/8
I was lookinf for this exact coment xD

This quickly became my favorite song when exploring King Crimson's discography
I've tried many times over the years to get into them and failed. Today I fired up Discipline on a whim, and immediately got hooked into this song hard. Maybe I'm finally going to get into these guys now.
@@matthoover111 listen to their album Beat and Three of a perfect pair.
same
King Crimson is a little beyond me at times. The first album is superb, a little bit of Larks tongues in aspic, the song starless, and discipline is absolutely extraordinary stuff. The other stuff.....still trying. All good stuff, I am sure 👍
Saw then perform this live in Phoenix
Ok, yeah, the guitar parts are pretty much the most permanently mindwarping thing I've ever heard, but how about Belew's singing? Just gorgeous. You can hear so much of his influence in Thom Yorke. Of all the aspects of King Crimson that get overlooked, the biggest one for me is Belew's singing on these records, when he actually sings.
Yes. This is the song in which he got the most out of his natural abilities
I also have to think of Layne Staley when I hear Belew singing. And that guitarpart from 1:07 is the blueprint for the intro of 7empest by Tool.
Im guessing you never heard Ron Jarzombek...
@@gashousegorillas1 I sure have. I just learned a long time ago that comparing musicians is pointless, it’s far more fulfilling to enjoy everyone’s accomplishments on their own merit.
@@TheKlausunderwin Well, Danny Carey has always been a huge fan of KC. Fitting, as he's joining them as their drummer on the tour that Belew/Levin are doing with Vai, lmao. Can't wait to go to that concert in october
This will always be one of the most impressive feats of guitar prowess ever committed to tape
Robert Fripp is very good.
Fripp is a machine on this album. Carpel tunnel just trying to play some of this stuff. And Belew is a sonic artist. Brilliant.
This song is a proof of Robert Fripp's genius.
Not saying you're wrong, but there is decades of his music proving that thing.
@@anonymousSWEBingo! Fripp is greatest prog musician ever by far!
And dexterity
That was apparent in 1969 with his playing on not just the whole album but right off the bat with 21rst Century Schizoid man. It's been up hill ever since .
Can't wait to see the Vai Belew Tsunami when they whip this out!
Oh yeah, got tickets for the October show at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC. So Stoked!!
And..,,Leviin!!!!!
Charlotte!
Got tickets to 4 shows 😅 😆 I'm ready baby
In the late 70's Progressive rock started dying out. The bands started to shift to pop or soft rock, or disbanded. Then came King Crimson Discipline around 1982 that basally saved the decade for music. This LP inspired so many and gave us hope that the music business could produce something interesting again. I had friends, young and old with diverse musical tastes and everyone that I played this LP for loved it.
Though some prog rock bands that shifted to pop did it wonderfully, like Yes. Some might not like 90125 because of that, but it's undeniable you can hear classic Yes and some prog mixed with pop there, and it's definitely interesting
@@ZaphiroAnejo Many of us thought the direction that Yes took was brilliant. The key was the addition of Trevor Rabin who, not only had the chops to craft commercially viable music, but was a huge fan of the band himself.
@@richarddavis5542 plus: he's a damn well skilled guitar player, unfortunately very underrated when taking a wider look upon the band's discography. See, Yes would keep him until Talk, and that album (in my opinion) is their perfect goodbye that a lot of people overlook, especially because some don't even know it exists
Sorry but Marillion saved prog rock in the 80s
Rush still pulled it through as a prog rock band
Such an underrated track
Just like almost every Crimson track
It's brilliant and it really needs "discipline" to play it. I love it. 😂
(Sadly I became handicapped and can no longer play the guitar... but I'm over the extreme sadness now and can enjoy listening to this without wanting to smash all my guitars to pulp. 😊)
@@suzycreamcheese2197
👍👍👍👏
@@guidomotshagen7541 That’s great! Well now I want to smash my guitar because I can’t play this because I’m a beginner. Maybe I should try it on a piano😄
@@suzycreamcheese2197 Don't give up - I know how much effort, emotional as well as physical, it takes. And it's so rewarding.
Fripp is an exceptional challenge - I fully admit that not everyone can reach that level of discipline 😂 but there's so much else to play... And with time you may find - oh, now I'm quoting Rolling Stones' "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime you find you get what you need."
😂
It's true, you know.
We all start crawling on hands and feet but sooner or later most of us can run. 😊
Wow “7empest” is my favorite King Crimson song!
Legit the first thing I thought when I first heard it
Yeah, 1981 7empest 😉
Has Genesis vibe to me.
Lmao
I imagine that all songs are favorites.
Yet another song that makes me wonder why King Crimson isn't as well known as they should be, at least here in the US.
Not everyone appreciates complexity. That's why you see mostly pop music topping the charts.
@@DUXALMUSIC it's like a ham and cheese sandwich, everyone enjoys it but it's so boring and easy
@@DUXALMUSIC Complexity = good, you say? th-cam.com/video/VfNdps0daF8/w-d-xo.html
@@BichaelStevens Not necessarily, no. What makes something good is a variety of factors, and your own subjectivity of course. On average, I think people prefer simplicity because it’s easier on your ears. Try listening to Dream Theatre for 8 hours straight and you may go mad. I’m not a big King Crimson fan if I’m honest, but I do appreciate the rare talent and work they put into their work.
@@DUXALMUSIC the video was a rebuttal to complex = good btw
Belew's vocals are outstanding here. My brother introduced me to this music. I am grateful.
This one is an underrated perfect pop song. It's so catchy, easy to remember, and the performance... These lads are a different breed of musicianship. Fkng song is ridiculously hard to play. Pick the instrument part... all of them are a nightmare to nail right. Belew live doing this one live playing guitar and singing it, one of the most impressive things to witness.
Every time I listen to this song I get chills.
dont listen to it in the cold then snartypants 😤😤😤😤😤
@@colefitzpatrick8431 this nikkkaaa
Same here
Every time!
The use of tension and release has an intuitive feel, as if you've heard some part of it before.
Sooooooo ahead of its time... still today!
This track always sounds to me like a JRPG battle theme. I wouldn't be surprised if some japanese composers of games like Final Fantasy and such were into King Crimson.
Edit: Tony Levin's backvocals here are great too.
Nobuo Uematsu AND Koji Kondo both cite ELP as an influence. Incredibly obvious listening to SNES and Playstation era Final Fantasy boss themes
@@nojons_ Yep the FF6 boss theme is hardcore ELP.
Not king crimson but the composer of one winged angel cited Jimi Hendrix as an influence for the advent children version of the song and you can definitely hear it
@@firebrand4074 And king crimson was Jimmy's favourite band.
It's not king-crimson like, but Dragon Saber's "Submerged City" has a very distinct neoprog vibe à la Pallas
Flowery guitar lines and booming, blossoming basslines, with love from all over the world!
Man the guitar lines are so sick in this one.
Thank you mister Fripp for allowing this to be put on youtube
I saw the Discipline Your in Atlanta in Nov. '81.
This interplay of guitars Robert and Adrian), stick bass (Tony) and drums (Bill) was an early highlight of that show.
Amazing musicianship!
I saw them on that tour at Rutgers. I was fainsicated by that stick bass. Never saw one before or since,
A friend introduced me to this album when it hit.
It went too well with our wild ways. Listen, party, repeat.
" I liked it ... I do think it's good."
Controversial take: I’d pick this album over In the Court man, let alone cuz of this song
this is the best KC album definitely
Based
I'm with you there. Court is insanely overrated. I mean... it's good. But Discipline is so much more dynamic and better paced.
What about Red?
@@timothyryan8983 Red is the most overrated in their discography. In the court of the crimson king is my fav and Discipline is a close 2nd.
Stefano Bollani is playing this now on tv in italy ..amazing
Two of the best voices on the planet just an amazing track
Belew's voice is so clear and melodic
King Crimson will always be too modern for the 35th century
Belew's twang bar pull-offs at 3:35, just _before_ as well as after the transition - just noticed just now after 40 friggin' years!
Well he is the Twang Bar King.
Bruford's machine-gun snare...🔥
It first starts at 1:07 and does a full cycle without lyrics or anything else again at the end starting at 4:19
❤❤
Tony Levine is absolutely amazing
Fav crimson song the guitars, drums, bass bombs, vocals - perfection
I've been listening to Fripp a good part of my life. His complexity, speed and repitition are totally unmatch
Totally tripping. I remember hearing this at 19 when it came out!❤❤❤
The guitar interplay is amazing. Simply stunning playing two similar parts that separated and came back together playing the same part is so difficult to pull off. Master musicianship
Adrian Belew 🔝
Met him about 10 years ago at a small solo under advertised gig. Super nice guy, got to have a chat and a drink with him after a mind blowing show to very few people. One of those life highlights that you dont forget quickly.
TOOL makes much more sense when you grew up listening to Red and Discipline.
Rich tAMB
:)
They really do. People joke about Danny Carey ripping off Bruford's style but for real, when I started learning Bruford's parts it suddenly became a lot easier to play Tools songs too...
@@Cobalt985 I can't take credit for the original observation. Danny made the connection for me in an interview, when he talked about the influence of those albums and some of the ideas he's been working on for a while.
He's the GOAT IMO
@@Cobalt985The Key To The Gate
I´ve been hearing King Crimson since ever. The more I hear, the more I love them.
I hear, Rush, Tool, the Police and Alice in Chain (for some reason the vocals have a layne staley vibe to me)
Radiohead (the "an...a...ly..sis.." vocal part)
Totally agree
Something definitely sounds familiar about this riff. I don't know if it's because I've heard this song before, or if it sounds like some other song.
Before tool and AIC.
All bow down to THE KING
My add and ADHD can't get enough of this
Huge fan of prog and I also have ADHD Lol
Same lol
My wife has ADD *and* minored in Music Theory in college. This song to her is like a laser pointer to a cat; she can't look away. >^..^
@@tommc4916 Well there's just so much to play with in our heads! Lol
i swear this is a recurring theme
I can't quite get over this song. It's so... revolutionary.
Love this track, and this album in general.
If you plan on doing a psychedelic, THIS is a song you should listen to. It's a life changing experience.
I want to hear more lol
The whole in the court of the crimson king album is a much better choice for psychedelic experience
@@Nick-ze8tq It is also a great choice, but this song oml.
I love the track as well as the whole album. Adrian Belew's influence on rhythm and energy along with oriental taste makes you enjoy the listening track after track.
One of the greatest musicians ever.
A Masterpiece!
Listening to this song as I animate frame by frame.
I was waiting for an animator to comment on this xD
I can hear the seeds that were planted which probably gave inspiration for the song 7empest.
One of the hardest guitar riffs ever
The day I found this song my life changed. Now when I'm with someone for the first time, this is the first song I play
they must be hating your music taste
Lmaoooo yeah it’s so overwhelming
"this is our song"
I saw this incredible version of King Crimson at the Savoy in NYC and a couple of years later at the Pier on the West Side ( I also saw the famous “Last Concert” at Central Park). The tightness of this band was extraordinary. The absolute highest quality musicianship possible.
I don't understand why King Crimson isn't in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. What a joke.
Exactly. RRHF is exactly that....a joke.
Most people who listen to King crimson and music like this really aren't interested in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame
those things are marketing
4:18 saving this so I can practice it
This is one of the most wonderfully marvelous and powerfull rock n roll song i've ever heard !!!
Despite the intensity, it is actually a relaxing listen too.
Universe: comes into existence by the big bang.
King Crimson: Hold my Beer.
Saw them 3xs
1974
1982
1984
This song makes me dance and breathe
This is masterpiece frame by frame
His right hand must find relief at the arpeggiated section! Wow
Amo esta formación. Para mi, sin duda la mejor.
it feels like this song is gonna break into three of a perfect pair at any time
Never understood why the Chapman stick hasn't been more popular in successful bands. Makes a bit difference to the hi fi quality like Peter Gabriels So.
Maybe it's too difficult to learn (not to mention it's quite expensive).
Sadly it might just be an obscure discovery left to the prog geniuses like Gabriel and Fripp, while most pop songs stick to the same safe instruments. If a pop musician was brave enough to start using it then I'm sure we'd see it more often, but that's just speculation
Anyone want to explain this for the uninitiated?
@@colefitzpatrick8431 Well Gabriels Sledgehammer and So was pretty pop based and for me the chapman stick really sticks out in the mix.
@@lemurpotatoes7988 The Chapman stick is a form of electric guitar, with 10 strings typically. Tony Levin talks about on a YT video on the Reverb channel. Check that out :). Its played two handed without strumming.
The singing and guitar is just beautiful
No human being could play the guitar like that without making a mistake in my analysis
This trio of albums ( red, blue, yellow ) are so next level... Awesome !!!
the end of this song reminds me of sitting at a traffic light, staring at two cars with their left turn blinkers on. The cars are different makes, so they blink at different speeds, but they always eventually synch up, for a second.
The use of Spoken Word while playing the experimental Rock Fusion guitar sound is mind boggling!
Esta cancion a 3 baterias en vivo en Chile fue una de las cosas más brutales que he escuchado en mi vida. Fue increible. Sin palabras
King Crimson es BRUTAL a todos nos deja sin palabras la primera vez que escuchamos su música, el Rey Carmesí siempre será una de las mejores bandas de todas, aún pasen generaciones, estoy seguro que nunca se pierde el gusto por la buena música.
Son God
ni 3 baterias son tan buenas como solo BrufordGOD 😎
@@toshinokyokosenpai9239 ll4 XD
Tuvimos suerte, creo que la presentación anterior no la tocaron
So many "wrong" riffs, hodgepodged together, sounds so right.
And pairs so well with Elephant Talk.
Awake The King Crimson post-punk.Great.
This album should be considered a new wave classic as well, instead of just being seen as prog. It embodies what it was so well.
I remember playing this at the end of year performance examination about 15 or so years ago when I was at university. The 7/8 and one other obscure time signature on the guitars was so difficult to play, but kudos to our guitarists for actually making it work and getting us through it.
So beautiful melody!
Best live performance I've ever seen! Even used this album cover at our wedding 20 years ago on our bulletin. As well as the Power To Believe for lightning the Unity Candle. kC's true masters of their art!!!!
You can hear where Alex got his guitar sound for Hold Your Fire and maybe Presto.
Such a beautiful composition.
I forgot how great this song is.
Never gets old.
une musique surrealiste mais tellement humaine, tribale qui nous prend aux tripes excutée avec tellement de talent
Mind Opening
: pro tip - count by six after you count two measures of seven - you'll find you resolve at a six you least expect and the riff begins in unison at 7 - Robert Fripp is a genius at counting to a rhythm completely separate from the band to do wild things in another rhythm, true meditation and the true blossom of the SWICTHED ON LOTUS - masterpiece
Good Lord, Robert Fripp can perfectly execute a busy as a bee guitar part!
What a majestic piece of art
Unbelievable track!
Saw them when they were touring this Album, at the Pier on 47th street Manhattan One of the best shows I ever saw.
Will see/hear CRIMSO Tonight in Michigan!!!!
When the bass comes in its amazing
Masterpiece, King Crimson is King
This...this is their best. They could repeat the whole thing and I wouldn't notice...and they could repeat THAT!
Very nice!!! 🎸🎸
an early example of totalism in rock music only this crew were capable of
glenn branca too
All music written by Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Bill Bruford. Lyrics by Adrian Belew.
gorgeous
Masterpiece. Fripp forever!!!!
Viaje desde mi infancia hasta ahora.
Armar algo que suene tan increíble con frases y sonidos aislados que aparentemente son ejercicios sin armonía, es la obra de los seres mas talentosos que pocas veces dió la cosecha de músicos de composicion. La disciplina de Robert, la determinación de Bill y las armonías vocales de Adrian y Toni (y ni hablar de su bajo) hacen de esta, una obra de arte por si misma.
Hahaha still love their musicianship. Just imagining having to play along Robert Fripp staring me down mechanically, while strumming some forbidden riff in a 7/17th rhythm, while I have to mentally calculate the third root of a prime number and question my sexuality makes me shit my pants repetitively. I guess my point is this still fckn kicks ass in 2023!
I’m a prog rock electric violinist. I cut my chops on this album.
46 and 2 ... Tool has said in a thousand interviews that they love this band.
After hearing this song, I knocked on my 21yo sons door and said, come listen to this... who does this remind u off..
Within 5 seconds he said tool...
Anyone else hear an Alice In Chains vibe here in the vocals?
I once took a Phish loving colleague who wanted to see Crimson to a show in Philly (early 00's, they were amazing that day), I think the fact that Trey is influenced by Fripp was the reason - it broke him, he never spoke to me again....
Loving this at first time of hearing .
I know Andy Summers collaborated with Robert at some point and being a huge police fan back in the day the likeness/style has jumped out at me .
Not dissing or promoting one over the other, just an observation .
So much collaboration in the 80's...
Fripp
Eno
Byrne
Bowie
Anderson
Belew
list goes on....
more obvious like Jagger...
The album is I Advance Masked. Bought it when it came out and I was a student a Berklee. Great album. Fripp and Summers wrote every song and played every instrument.
