Who are some artists you feel changed music? Share below! Watch King Crimson Part 2 here:- th-cam.com/video/c9giNzY8JRk/w-d-xo.html
They’re still pretty new but I’d say king gizzard and the lizard wizard
Genesis, supertramp, Elo
Metallica
This is a little off topic, but have you thought about doing influential independent record labels? Like Sub Pop during the grunge days in Seattle. I know labels aren't as important today, but it would be a pretty entertaining topic. Great video Warren, looking forward too part 2.
No joke, but how about Richard Blade? He did so much for getting new wave out to the masses locally and worldwide. The MTV VJs were great, but they really didn't focus on a specific genre - it was whatever video was hot. Maybe it was because Richard worked at KROQ, but I know he had TV shows as well. Anyways, just a thought.
King Crimson was the last show I took my late father to. He raised me on ELP and King Crimson.
Thanks for sharing! Your father had amazing taste!
To say Robert Fripp is ahead of his time the very definition of understatement. People today are still struggling to fully get their heads around what he was doing fifty years ago. I've had the pleasure of seeing King Crimson three times between 2001 and 2016. The first time, they opened for Tool at Red Rocks. I was so floored by them that I didn't think I could survive Tool. My entire band that I was in at the time went to that show. We were sat in the center just in front of the sound booth. About 10 minutes in, the bass player leaned over and asked "what do you think?". I just pushed him away and said "not now Rance, I'm seeing God!" I bring up the sound booth, because we also noticed that Tool was taking in the show from behind the Front of House desk just as astonished as the rest of us.
I was so excited when I heard the guitar part from Frame By Frame in Tool's cover of Led Zeppelin's No Quarter. I was already excited to hear that they'd covered No Quarter in the first place, and to hear King Crimson music on it makes the song a crazy trifecta of awesomeness!
when I went to red rocks I freaked out when I saw they played together, my favorite bands ..... I still dream
To say Robert Fripp is ahead of his time is to suggest that nobody was interested in him and his playing at the time he came on the scene. And this is patently untrue.
People today got their head up their ass. Listen to commercial FM radio today! Just a platform for advertising. Early FM radio was free form underground! I remember when the FM dial was dead air from 90 to 108 MHz. All music of all kinds was on am.
Thanks for your recollection Brett! KC is pretty amazing!
I really think Michael Giles is one of the most underrated drummers of this age. Like his dynamic ability through In the court of the crimson king is impressive.
Agreed …and I also want to mention that Bill Bruford is also extremely underrated.
Giles and Bruford are/were both well ahead of the curve. Outstanding performances by both. The isolated drum/bass track of 21st Century Schizoid Man absolutely blows me away.
Agreed too.
McDonald and Giles is an incredible record and must have for Crimson fans.
@@bennyshambles , absolutely.
King Crimson is one of the bands - together with ELP, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis etc, that at some point in time, many years ago, opened up my mind to absolutely new music genres. Of these mentioned, King Crimson was probably the most crazy band, breaking the limits of music the same way as freejazz and modal-jazz musicians did a couple decades before. Thanks a lot for bringing up the history of one of the most mindblowing bands!
Jerry well said Sergei! I really appreciate your comment!
Yeah Sergei! I was going to bring up ELP but you put it so much better than I could've. Birth of the Cool was another era as you mentioned that brought a lot of great music to the scene.
Honestly, I disagree with the other bands mentioned. They may have shown progress in terms of virtuosity, production, and what constitutes a 'song' in the rock vocabulary, but Crimson was the only of the main progressive bands (there were local scenes in UK and the continent that moved in similar direction, I just listened to the Neu! album, but they did not have the reach of King Crimson) to actually push the music forwards.
So very, very true.
I'd have to say King Crimson beats all of those! As much as I love every band you named, they were out of this world!
As a fan and expert on KC, I have to say your research was TOP NOTCH!!!!! Kudos to you and the team. I can't wait for volume two.
Thanks ever so much Ty! We are huge fans!
Been a Crimson geek for decades and the info was very incisive. The only point I'd quibble with is the assertion that Fripp convinced Bruford to leave Yes. Bruford has told the story many times if first seeing Crimson at their beginning. It's a great story if you're into the lore but he says that one of his takeaways from seeing them was how can I quit my band and join Crimson.
Hi, just came across parts 1 and 2 of Crimson. Thank you. I was studio tech and tape operator at Wessex Sound Studios during the Crimson sessions. Ironically, when they came to the studio, I recognised Greg Lake, who I went to school with in Dorset. Went to Robin Thomson’s wedding (plenty of photos). Would love it if you have any other photos of the studio and Robin and Michael Thomson.
Here's what happened. I was home sick from high school in 1982. My mom went grocery shopping and picked up an issue of a magazine called Music & Sound Output at the supermarket, thinking that it looked like something that might cheer me up. Inside was an article by a fellow named Michael Shore, about a band I'd never heard of, King Crimson. Not only had they recently released an album called Discipline, they'd already had an illustrious decade+ career behind them that was new to me. I bought the Discipline album and as a guitar playing nerd became obsessed with working out Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew's interlocking guitar parts. Long story short, I finally showed up for three of Fripp's guitar seminars in Spain, the US and Argentina, and established a nourishing musical practice that continues today.
I first heard "Court" in an English lesson at school as a 14 year-old in 1970 when our trendy teacher asked us to bring our favourite records in. I can still remember sitting mesmerised by Schizoid Man and the class looking round at each other in bewilderment. A life-changing experience. I finally got to see them in 2018, it was magnificent.
Nice one .
I chose Selling England by the Pound .
Presented to the nonplussed 4th form Common Room .
With talking between each track ,after clumsily raising the needle ( quaint ) .
Took great pains to explain ( aaaaagh ) what each track ' meant .
In the Court of the Crimson King is my most favorite album of all time.
I am luck to have 2 copies on vinyl, 1 signed for me by Greg Lake.
Wow! Amazing! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
That is some Album Cover 👌🏼
Starless was the music looping in my wife's head when she was in labor with our first child for 30 hours. Just shows how ingrained KC is in our lives. Catch the kids now pretty much grown up whistling various Crimson melodies without knowing what they are.
Listening to 'Starless' now as I write this!
Parenting done right!
if it was Fracture...
Great! Great to hear you literally brain washed your kids. Good job!
The Court of the Crimson King, is still one of the Best Albums ever. Michael Giles is such an incredible Drummer.
I saw Crimson during their Fripp / Belew / Levin / Bruford incarnation. In the middle of The Sheltering Sky Fripp suddenly went off on a solo that is not part of the original song. It was obvious from the expressions of the other band members that this came as a shock to them. The solo was insane. The entire venue went dead silent. A girl near me said "Oh my God!" and that was only sound sound from the crowd during the entire solo. When he finished Fripp looked at Levin (who still had a "what the fuck was that?" expression on his face) and just shrugged.
I became madly obsessed with the song Starless when I first heard it. I feel terribly sorry for all the people I forced to sit through the whole thing 😅
I am the same way with Lizard. Once a coworker of mine when meeting my new girlfriend at the time asked: "Did he make you listen to that song...?" hahaha
Starless is the song I want played at my funeral.
Red is one of my all time favorite albums. As a big prog fan, it really is the pinnacle of the “Rock” side of progressive. You can hear the direct influence in some of 80s and 90s rock when they get really angry!
Yes, complete and utter masterpiece of an album!
Red remains a unique album even today. I can't think of any album outside of King Crimson that sounds remotely like it or go to the emotional places Red goes. Its a masterpiece.
@@neile2001 Yeah, I pull Red out a few times a year, and it's always like listening to a brand new album. No matter how many hundreds of times I've played it, it's always fresh in my ears.
One more Red nightmare
The only other band that changed music imo is Emerson Lake & Palmer.Which sort of figures since Greg played a big part of ITCOTKC. Emersons genius musicianship AND live performances & Palmers incredible drumming blew me away. There are other prog rock giants like YES who deserve a place at the top of this short list.Thank you so much for all the hard work & research that obviously went into this documentary.
So glad to see you guys cover KC. Some of the best, well-performed, and most experimental music of all time.
Can’t wait to hear you talk about Discipline!
One of my favourite artists of all time
I absolutely love King Crimson. The trilogy from Larks' to Red is on regular rotation in my life. One of the most inventive, captivating groups to ever exist.
On tour in '72 we arrived at the State theater in Columbus, Ohio. The other band members hadn't arrived so we plugged in the wall of amps and with a roadie on drums, bassist on guitar, myself on bass, we turned up to 11 to see how the amps sounded. After starting a chaotic jam in 7/8 we were letting fly when we heard loud pounding at the side exit door. Being afraid we upset the management I went to the door and upon opening there were 4 Brits, Fripp and Lake and company. I apologized but Fripp asked were we his opening act. When I told him it was just the road crew jamming, he sighed in relief and said "I'm so relieved, you guys are really good " We all had a big laugh.
Outstanding job! "In the Court" was One of my first if not my first album in 1969. I bought it in K-Mart just because I thought the cover was the coolest. Little did I realize this album would push me into prog/symphonic rock. (No one knew what to call this genre back then ... LOL)
This music was termed "classical rock" by many people in the US back then, for obvious reasons, but there wasn't enough of it around in the 60's to call it a genre. The genre was recognized in the early 70's with the explosion of bands coming out of the UK.
It was also called "Art Rock" by many at the time.
Hi Warren, being a German historian I am really admiring your skills with regards to condensating the complexe history of King Crimson and presenting it very intelligibly. Congratulation, it is a very good and informative broadcast for any Crimson fan. By the way, I strongly recommend Robert Fripp´s humorous and for every guitarist very interesting TH-cam channel: Robert at home.
Vielen dank! I really appreciate your kind words!
Brilliant. I saw King Crimson perform their Larks Tongues in Aspic tour LIVE in Detroit in '73. They were just phenominal.
was there 09-27-73 Strawbs opened then Crimson, I left before Slade closed the show. also saw them 5 months earlier in Toledo and Eastown in '71
King Crimson, a.k.a, your favourite band's favourite band. 😉 Never been that much into their very early stuff, but from the Bruford/Wetton period up until today, this band has been hugely influential for me. Thanks for covering them up, can't wait for part 2!
"Red" (1974) is my favourite King Crimson album with "Larks' Tongues in Aspic" (1973) a close second.
Thank you for doing this!! King Crimson transcends generations. I wasn’t even born yet when these records were made but they are some of *the* most important albums in my musical development and life. As I toil in the modern music industry KC still stand as a beacon of hope that truly adventurous music can be appreciated and recognized 🙏
In the Court of the Crimson King is a brilliant album I was blown away by it when I first heard it.
Absolutely
When I was a teenager (25 years ago), I had a massive painted reproduction of the artwork of the Crimson King in the garage where I practiced with my band... such an epic album!!
King Crimson is one of a kind. I still remember when i hear Discipline, and form there i dive in deep in their music that change my creative approach as an artist. Also my firsts concert of the Robert Fripp string quintet and shake Robert Hand just after in 1994 and of course see them live in the 3 incarnation after. Thanks so much Warren to share this video , this band deserved it!!!!!
Just before the pandemic started I had the chance to attend a King Crimson concert in São Paulo city - the best concert I've ever been to! Fripp's demand for no mobile phones made it even better!!!
There´s no band like Krimson. Musicians on the highest level. Real progressive music.
maybe one is getting near KC, try Magma. that's weird, very creative and weird (oh i said that already). very talented musicians too. outstanding drummer and leader
You really should do a "what makes this song" on Starless. That song is incredibly complicated. And amazing.
Epitaph is, in my opinion, one of the best pieces ever recorded, Ive listened to it that many times and used it as ref track in my own productions too many times, everything i do has a bit of Epitaph in there somewhere unintentionally, first time i heard it, it totally blew me away and still does everytime, the sound of the mellotron is unmistakeable, only other album in that mood that comes close for me is 666 by Aphrodites Child. Great Channel Warren, fab content as always.
Fripp was my personal guitar hero, he pushed me to experiment with my instrument rather than just play it. I was at that concert in July of 74’ at the Wahlman Rink and walked out Gobsmacked. To this day and I’m now 68 they are my go to Progrock band when I need a fix of raw creativity.
Red was my introduction to this most amazing band. An astonishing album but witnessing them live has been the highlight of my concert going days from the first time I saw them while touring Discipline in the early 80’s to their most recent sensational incarnation before Fripp finally disbanded the band. What a journey it has been! Everyone should allow themselves to be fully immersed in the incredible musical voyage that Starless takes you on at least once in their lifetime.
Favorite live band I’ve ever seen! The double trio in the 90’s was particularly powerful and mind blowing
The best line-up!
I saw the Double Trio in Sunrise Fl .. I was 14.. my brain exploded
I saw and later hung out with the double trio. They just didn't do it for me. The material was mediocre.
Lament...got chills just typing it....
In 1969 or 70, my senior year in high school, a friend brought over the first King Crimson album, and we listened to it all the way through. I was an instant fan. Another friend and I did “Epitaph” as our English poetry interpretation project, and got top grades for it. Now, at 70, I still listen to the album frequently. Greg Lake’s bass work on 21st Century Schizoid Man inspired me to start playing bass myself, although at this age I’m still a novice.
Saw them 3 times. All the more modern version. Incredible. Plus saw Fripp leading a band called the League of Gentlemen. It was in a small club and I was looking at his hands and he turned his head and gave me a look of ICE that chilled me to the bone !!!! the guy is a live wire... decided not to stare after that. The guy is very aware of his environment and a great guitarist and band leader. Love these guys. Always play in good halls with good acoustics and great sound systems and I appreciate that. Not all bands do.
1970s KC is my favourite version(s) of the band with John Wetton.
I've seen the band many times in most of their line-ups and was in the audience the night Providence was recorded. Shockingly the theater was half empty that night. We walked in during Steeleye Span's closing number and chose seats in front of the mixing board figuring that's where the sound would be the best but we could have been a lot closer. It was a stunning concert that night.
I have mixed feelings about Crimson, but I loved them when I was a teenager. (I discovered their music shortly after the Discipline album was released.) The band and Fripp definitely broadened my understanding of what was possible in music. I rarely listen to them anymore, but I do go back to The Great Deceiver live box set now and again. It'll still knock your socks off!
Got into KC as a 16yo, and although they have an amazing catalogue, I still think 21st Century Schizoid Man is simply mind blowing. Haven’t tired of it in 53 years. Thanks for this review.
Saved under my "music documentary" youtube Playlist. Thanks for the inspiration! ✊🏾
Thanks ever so much
Extraordinarily informative. I became aware of King Crimson in 1982 with the Fripp, Belew, Levin and Bruford lineup. To me their music was mind blowing. Can't wait for Part 2.
Yes, amazing music! Me too, love Beat, Discipline and Three Of A Perfect Pair! Masterpieces!
I always took them as a more easily digestible captain beefheart. Stellar band!
I remember seeing King Crimson in 71 at the Eastown theatre in Detroit. They were great but refused to play "Court of the Crimson King". Detroit crowds could be really tough and insistent, however , So their encore was "Court" done like Muddy Waters " I'm a Man", lead by a furious Fripp. It was hilarious yet very good. They CAN do Blues!
Haha nice! I have no doubt that Robert Fripp can play absolutely anything he wants! Thanks ever so much for the wonderful comment
was there, Blues Project opened and Procol Harum was also amazing.
I just got back from taking a little drive in the country. Had SiriusXM on. They played "In the Court of the Crimson King". I had forgotten what a fantastic song this is. Groundbreaking at the time it was recorded and still timeless. The whole album is great.
Larks' Tongues is my favourite of theirs. Its so wild.
FINALLY!!! Man, I love King Crimson. It's been in my top 3 for at least 3 decades. In no particular order: David Bowie, Frank Zappa and King Crimson. Man, would I love to have a chat with Adrian Belew!
I can't wait for part 2. Thanks! ❤️
Great taste! Thanks for sharing!
Belew is a cornerstone to everything you mentioned, just throw in the Talking Heads to complete the arch.
@@danburnes722 : Indeed! The only reason I didn’t mention Talking Heads was the fact that it was my personal top three. But I absolutely love the Talking Heads! 😊
@@mariodriessen9740 here's Part Two:- th-cam.com/video/c9giNzY8JRk/w-d-xo.html
@@Producelikeapro : Aaaah thanks Warren!!! I’m on my way to work now. I can’t wait for the evening to come, so I can grab my iPad, put on my headphones and watch part two.
I’ve only seen them once live. It was in The Hague in The Netherlands. I remember it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, they played with my favourite line-up (the Thrak six piece), and I remember it was LOUD!!! I’ve seen a lot of loud bands in my time, but they would usually turn up the lower frequencies to fill the room with a wall of sound. King Crimson however was loud in ALL frequencies. Arguably the loudest concert I ever witnessed. But man, was it worth the experience!
I’m feeling nostalgic all of a sudden. I went to that concert with my little sister (and my only sister). We were both Bowie, King Crimson and Zappa fans. We always went together to see our heroes. Unfortunately she passed away 10 years ago. She’s the reason why I didn’t listen to these bands/artists in the last ten years as much as I used to, cause I know I’ll be a mess after even just a couple of bars of their music. But sometimes it’s worth it. I’m gonna be a mess this evening, but it’s alright. Anyway, I digress. Thank you Warrren! ❤️
Yeah, for them, they changed music. I love their stuff.
Thanks ever so much
Its amazing the list of names, i love almost everyone in their solo works, what an institution the band was
This is a really great video! Thanks a million for it. Looking forward to watching the second part.
If I could give this video 1,000 thumbs up, I would. In future years, KC will (hopefully) be seen as one of the most important bands of the late 20th/early 21st centuries.
Agreed 100%!
Mad excited for Part 2! 80s King Crimson is like a whole other beast. I mean all the eras of KC have "something" to them, but Fripp was firing on all cylinders when he came back with the 80s lineup.
This is exactly what I want to see. Intelligent and skilled guy talking about my favourite band. Simply marvelous
Thank you for shining the light on Crimson. Their début album literally blew our hair back when we heard it in the fall of '69.
For some of us, Crimson was our first concert experience: U.S. Thanksgiving night, 1971 at the New York Academy of Music. It was absolutely unforgettable.
November 25, 1971
Headliner: Procol Harum
2nd billing: King Crimson (material from first 3 LPs, plus a preview of "Islands")
Opening act: Yes (first tour with Rick Wakeman)
When Crimson returned to the NY Academy in 1973 we were, once again, in attendance:
April 28, 1973
King Crimson
"Larks' Tongues In Aspic" Tour.
Supporting acts:
The Strawbs
Spooky Tooth
Thank you Thank you Thank you for covering King Crimson!!!!! I've been waiting on someone to make a video about them , especially Robert Fripp. He is so important to the guitar in the modern era. Again , thank you so much!! I always felt , that in the back of my mind , that you'd be the one to do the video on them. I cant wait for part 2 of the video , as I'm a major fan of that line up 😊
Warren, Thank You for this! Your channel is such a treasure! Vital and immersive, education and entertainment. You never fail to bring the goods, not just these "Artist / songs that changed music" of videos!
i adore this deep dive video into the history of KC. my dad and i are huge fans and i grew up listening to the band but it wasn’t until college where i started listening to them on my own. can’t wait for part 2; it’s clear you put a lot of passion into these videos. thank you for your hard work!
Brilliant. Looking forward to part II.
Without the amazing voice of Greg Lake, I don’t think they would have ever achieved their notoriety early on.
Whenever I listen to Court of the Crimson King I am amazed at how good it is and I amazed at how amzed I am and that I seem to forget how amazing it truly is.
Amazing! 🙃
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Thank you ❤ King Crimson & Robert Fripp. The documentary was wonderfully done, looking forward to part 2.
One of my biggest influences, for sure. Looking forward to Part 2!
well done. the focus/time matched the best music. will head straight to pt. 2
Coming soon!
Yeah this is certainly a necessary addition to your videos...every era of Crimso is so important 👏
Thanks ever so much
So cool! Thx for the Video and I can't wait for Part 2!
This is excellent. Love that you've made this series on one of the most interesting bands of all time. Looking forward to the next part! Cheers :)
Wonderfully informed and marvelous clear delivery (with no daft background). A breath of fresh air- Thank you very much!
Wow! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks ever so much!
Brother, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Thanks for this wonderful, long-awaited episode on my all-time favorite band.
Thanks ever so much!
So glad you enjoyed the video
@@Producelikeapro they had their very first rehearsal on the exact day of my birthday. How awesome is that? My favorite band came together on my birthday, which was also the very day after my Jets won the Super Bowl. My very guitar hero, Jimmy Page, was born on Jan. 9. I watch "The Song Remains The Same" on my birthday, and I've been reading his new book which is really great so far.
What a wonderful summary and tribute to a truly unique band. It’s incredible how many bands and genres list King Crimson as an influence. I can see your personal love of the band coming through. Looking forward to part 2.
A great video - thanks for recording this. Crimson were my first band! Starless always one of my favourite songs!
I was at that 1974 Central Park show. I didn't realize that was the last show for MK3 King Crimson! Thanks for that tidbit, Warren!
Wow! That’s amazing to hear
@@Producelikeapro It was a memorable show. They were terrific, and we had great seats to boot! But I had no idea until I watched this episode that it was MK3's final show. I wonder if it was planned that way. Thanks for the great content!
@@musicmann1967 wow...again! I can only imagine, my mind fills in the gaps, great to know it was as great as I imagined!
Thank you for this. More people should know about this groundbreaking band.
Agreed 100%! Thanks ever so much!
Excellent! Thx Warren!
“Music is the cup that holds the wine of silence. Sound is that cup, but empty. Noise is that cup, but broken.” --Robert Fripp
So much appreciation for this wonderful video!!! Thank you thank you thank you ❤❤❤!
Can't wait for Part 2 which is my preferred time of KC, though I have to say Red/ Starless Bible Black are so, so good too. Nice work Warren, some tidbits I didn't know about KC like Elton John and Brian Ferry trying out for vocals.
Here's part two:- th-cam.com/video/c9giNzY8JRk/w-d-xo.html
@@Producelikeapro Just watched it. Wow!!!! Excellent again!!!!
Wow, two parts on King Crimson? That's definitely been worth the wait! I often wonder why Robert Fripp seems generally underrated as a guitarist. His name never really pops up in talks about guitar greats. Is it because of the lack blues influence? Because of his complex concepts harmony and time?
I really love his work with Eno (and Bowie, of course) and enjoy his solo ambient work. And anything he does with King Crimson plus his thoughts on life, music, and the music business command my utmost respect. His (and his wife's) TH-cam channel are are an added bonus of joy.
Warren, have you read Robert Fripp's recently published Guitar Circle book yet?
Fripp is in my Top 10 favourite guitarists! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
@@Producelikeapro ❤ As he should be!
Loved this- please make Part 2 soon 😳😎😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! One of the best and thorough looks at the early version of this great band. I've been to many of their concerts in the 1990s and 2000s and its one of those bands where the live experience is another level good, and as a bonus you have a very good chance of seeing famous musicians who are sitting in the audience as fans just like you, anticipating what will happen next. Its a band where generations recognize how special they are and both my kids who are 12 and 16 and with streaming have the opportunity to listen to anything, still really love them as well.
awesome, many thanks Warren!
Thanks ever so much
@@Producelikeapro totally biased! Have been a fan since the first album. You give them the kind of analysis and overview that i find really valuable.
King Crimson is sort of neck-and-neck with Frank Zappa as being responsible for a great deal of my favorite music over the course of my life. Larks' Tongues in Aspic was a sort of musical awakening for me, and I'll never forget the first time I heard Side Two of that album. By the time the final chord in LTiA 2 had died out, most of what I thought I knew about music had been blown out of the water. This is serious music that demands your undivided attention.
P.S. Please make haste with Part 2! Can't wait to hear what you have to say about the "color" albums, the Double Trio, the Double Duo, and the Nine-Headed Beast.
same here, I was shocked when I first heard LTINA, in mid 70tis
Zappa and Crimson are seminal when they are on song.
Excellent! Twenty eight minutes that passed like flying.
Great...can't wait for part II. KC was one of my earliest influences.
Great Part 1. Now I can’t wait for part 2! Nice job.
I'm working on it! Ha Thanks ever so much for sharing!
I was there at Hyde Park and every word you say about it is true - exactly as I remember it.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
so good of you to provide this information. i saw where fripp and eno are again collaborating
I've been looking for a comprehensive documentary on King Crimson for ages and this one is such a joy to listen to. So well researched and presented. Totally agree with the point made about Starless being the zenith of what Crimson set out to achieve musically. Really looking forward to listening to part 2
Thanks ever so much Simon!
One of best bands all time... my father's favourite song is “Epitaph” from their first album... We have grown listening to it, and is part of our musical approaches. We simply love it!
Me too.My Dad and I shared a lot of music but unfortunately we never got around to ITCOTCK. I miss him so much. GOD bless you & your Dad.
Very interesting! I discovered this band a little while ago and I have now the pleasure to discover this documentary that completes my understanding of the band and their work. Thanks a lot Warren!
This is literally the video I’ve wanted to see for years. Thank you
Thanks ever so much
Crimson's importance to modern music cannot be overstated. How many people can say they basically invented a new type of rock?
Very well said!
FINALLY
Thanks ever so much
Great vid. Thank you KC as you laid the groundwork for what led to my favorite band, Porcupine Tree.
Beautiful work on this doc!
Fripp used a Burns Buzzaround Fuzz which comes out of the Tone Bender family, but is a pretty distinctive circuit.
It was how he was able to sound like he was using an Ebow before the Ebow was invented.
Fabulous!!!
I recently found this out during my search for a favorite fuzz. Now I know I'm a Tone Bender type of musician, and why the Big Muff was so unsatisfying, even though it was David Gilmore's choice. Do you have a favorite modern equivalent?
@@hankjansen5544 I built my own. As far as good clones, I imagine there are quite a few out there. DAM, Pig Dog… If you do your research you will find something. Some of them can be quite expensive and if you just want a good performing version of the circuit, you probably don’t need to shell out for vintage parts, etc.. It’s a very saturated sound that can almost sound like a Boss HM-2 at times.
John Wetton is the most underrated bassist of all time
Wonderful musician!
Absolutely!!!
Closely followed by Ben Shepherd of Soundgarden
We had a band in the Netherlands called Earth and Fire. This band appeared to be one of the main influences for King Crimson's Starless and Bible Black.
Great overview of this incredible band. Looking forward to part two which I am confident three of a perfect pair will be discussed, another fantastic project.
Cat Food...again!!
