King Crimson


The only knowledge I had of King Crimson was my first LP bought self titled Bad Company, and reading the bass player Boz came from Crimson. Fast forwarded 50 years and I am now hearing for the first time "in the court of the Crimson King". I know I wouldn't have liked what I love today, when I was 13. Amazing players and composers! Court is not dismissed, please remain seated.

If you like King Crimson, listen to McDonald and Giles only album, a masterpiece! They are two of the original members of King Crimson. Fripp was very distraught when Ian McDonald left the band. Listen to the album and you'll see why. Ian passed away last week. RIP.

 

 

 

Greg Lake was also an original member who's no longer with us. IMO, his vocals on "Epitaph" were outstanding.

Also, April Wine did a cover of "21st Century Schizoid Man" that I thought was a little more raw and edgy.

April Wine? I’ll check it out. All I know about April Wine is, they were to appear in Toronto at a small club, couple hundred people but instead of April Wine, The Rolling Stones rehearsed for their upcoming tour. I would have loved to be at the bar that night!
