[JokeMorez]

[TallMikeBismuth]

What's this blues shit?

[TheZombieXecutioner2]

@TallMikeBismuth Trolling or just stupid?

[TallMikeBismuth]

@TheZombieXecutioner2 Trolling, but the bluesisms in this song really do irk me. Give me One More Red Nightmare any day.

[BassGuitarded01]

@TallMikeBismuth fag

[MrGreycharles]

Not a heavy metal band, but a major influence for many, many thrash bands including Kirk Hammett of Metallica.

[kfsfkakf]

We're in the 21st Century now and this still speaks volumes for such limited lyrics. The music is so evil it satisfies me and makes me feel weird in my underpants lol

[gabyroxs109]

@kfsfkakf

LMFAO! I feel the same way <3

prog rock for ever till the end of time

[kfsfkakf]

[jarlcarrerorl]

EVERY SINGLE INSTRUMENT IS DISTORTED!!! GOD I LOVE IT!!!

[3visInLeA]

Once you've listen to this you begin to understand that The Mars Volta are so fuckin' inspired by King Crimson! God bless for both of them.

[michealdark]

@3visInLeA Yeah, Volta is basically Crimson with some Santana-esque Spanish flourishes.

[The92161]

Yeah I heard if you see really big rabbits you have schizophrenia too

[XDPNOfficial]

how dare kanye west use this in his filth

[malachicrimine]

saturday night, after a lt of german beer...almost drunk....i'm flying with this song!

[webros16]

How does he get that crazy arsed voice distortion I want it!

[Imptheshrimp]

@webros16 He puts a distortion on the vocals. It's not too difficult.

[meucorazao]

GREAT. WHEN I HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS SONG I CLEARLY SEE THE FACES OF BUSH, OBAMA AND ALL THE NATO GENERALS, THEY ARE THE 21ST SCHIZOID MEN AND VERY DEADLY

[StupidNutter]

I always thought Mars Volta were quite an original band... I take that back.

[divisorplot]

ambassodor to Syria King Crimson called back they say maybe expelled King CrimsonCanis Major Canis Minor sirius star system!

[muso123456]

[BongHooitz]

[VikyHammond]

I know one who put "I do not like" this video!

[PinkyKillerCat]

"Twenty first century schizoid man." sounds exactly like fragment of the song from Saints Row 3 trailer. ^_^

[SuperRDAN]

@PinkyKillerCat it is just like a remixed version

also cant wait for sr3 to come out !

[Samubiche]

@PinkyKillerCat actually the song from saints row 3 is "power" by kanye west

[biznatchman21]

@PinkyKillerCat no the fragment from saints row 3 sounds like 21st century schizoid man... :P



[strader1234]

@biznatchman21 they use Kenye Wests song that uses that line that sounds like it was ripped straight from this song.

[TheFirstGroover]

we are in the 21st schizoid century...

[JMorgendorfferMp]

De Huevos!!!!!

[GavinS1965]

You're never alone with schizophrenia..

[joe5450]

@GavinS1965

Schizophrenia is not the same as Schizoid.

[GavinS1965]

@joe5450 Oh right,didn't know that,cheers..

[GavinS1965]

@GavinS1965 And neither am I.

[TheTurdmonster]

i look like the album cover when Im doing a big pooh

[richecco]

i was so born in the wrong era

[chriswilliamstool]

@richecco good sign your following the great role models of time thats passed, just like a path thats already made by music, your soo true, its a quality era for progression

[worrdawgg1952]

saw them play at massey hall in 1976 with golden erring

amazing concert

[HighwayStarRevisited]

damn this song is good!!!!!...........no words can discribe this Musical Masterpiece!!!!!

[valentynesuite]

that's why i play drums, mike giles was ne of the best, tasteful drumers of the rock gloden age

[belzlucek]

After all those years, King Crimson is still King.

[pantagruelification]

What the hell are Kanye West followers doing wondering about a classic rock site - piss off and listen to your own sites wit dat special jibe bro, which seems to have been adopted by every youf under the age of 18 no matter where day is fro in do world...hear what am saying maaan? Leave us to our music

[MrPils123]

I dont care how stole whos song but in my opinion i like Kanye West Version better

[MiGodDesign]

@MrPils123 Nobody stole anything from anyone. Kanye Used a 5 second sample, that's all.

[wombat989]

@MrPils123 You don't like Kanye's version better, because Kanye didn't cover this song. He used a sample from this song. Don't get me wrong, Kanye is a modern day Genius

[FooFighterFix]

@wombat989 would hardly call Kanye West a genius.. ever..

[wombat989]

@FooFighterFix And that's because you can't open your mind up to more than one or two styles of music? Seriously, I hate Rap as much as the next man but Kanye is an exception.

[FooFighterFix]

@wombat989 Musically I'm a very open person, and i do not hate rap, good rap is exceptional and near brilliant lyrically, but kanye west is no such thing.

[wombat989]

@FooFighterFix Well sir, while I do not agree with what you say I will defend to the death your right to say it.

[FooFighterFix]

@wombat989 Much appreciated.

[wombat989]

@wombat989 And sorry for assuming you weren't musically open minded, because about 90% of people on the internet are not.

[23animosity23]

@wombat989 It really is beautiful when people on the internet with differing opinions can actually get along. Thanks for increasing my faith in humanity by about 2%. It isn't much, but it IS an improvement, so kudos!

[blazedboi666]

@23animosity23 Only King Crimson can make such things happen.



[lPrawny]

@2cute3000 sorry mate, nothing with the genre being rap or hip hop can be better than rock. you see, that stuff is fake synthesized shit, whereas rock bands play their own instruments, which shows they actually have talent! Just sayin'...

[paquele63]

MIS COMIENZOS Q CARATULA

[quinttheskater]

kanye west is dumb for stealing this song

[2cute3000]

@quinttheskater its called sampling, not stealing, and thats legal....by the way the sample was even better than the actual song!

[mattoita]

@2cute3000 "better" XD enough with the jokes

[wombat989]

@2cute3000 >Doesn't realise music taste is subjective and you can't just call a song better than another

[GIANLUP0]

@quinttheskater

fuck kaney west

[quinttheskater]

@GIANLUP0 i ni right

[DeliciousCloe]

Questa è la vera musica.

[hewittdj1]

I heard Kanye West stole this song

[xXMandolinHeroXx]

@hewittdj1 well he uses a sample of this song. Surely the KC permit him to do that. By the way West's song is terrible and looks like a public handjob.

[n64wilbert]

@hewittdj1 What's it called? I know it sucks!!!

[gshrchs]

perfect.

[mat9054]

like it

[bobgreen623]

They say music can't change the world, but at age 13 in 1969 it certainly changed mine. One of the 5th years brought in Nice Enough To Eat and played it one lunchtime, and I was quite literally 'what the fuck is that', I was totally bowled over by it. Still am too

[kelamuni]

Check out Yes, Heart of the Sunrise 2:05 - 2:45; its reminds me of the section running from 2:05 - 2:45 in 21st Century Schizoid Man. Interesting.

[mattoita]

@kelamuni nice found man. It's really curious :)

[franceschetto626]

40 anni fà erano più moderni della musica di adesso!

[reddeathx1]

@lladsbid and you're a douche for saying it. There's no talent in taking another persons work and using it in your own. Enough said.

[lladsbid]

@reddeathx1 And you're definitely a douche for saying that. Saying that using samples requires no talent completely dismisses some truly great work, e.g. Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys, Three Feet High and Rising by De la Soul, Since I left you by The Avalanches, Low end theory by a tribe called quest to name but a few. A great song is a great song regardless what its made up of and using something in a new and interesting way does require talent.

[MrJippaLippa]

Now we can surely admit that back in 1969 they perfectly predicted the actual situation

[Drideonem]

@MrJippaLippa It was same situation back there, m8.

[LiveAndSolo]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[lladsbid]

it was put to better use in POWER by Kanye West

that's right, I said it

[facecomic]

@lladsbid It was put to better use as a sample?

[lladsbid]

@facecomic the song that sample it was better in my opinion, yes

[HumanJarv]

@lladsbid The sample may as well not be there. How can you compare them? I've got nothing against sampling, but to say it takes talent is to be quite liberal with the word 'talent'.

[lladsbid]

@HumanJarv In the case of Power, yes, it is a relatively inconsequential sample, in other songs, however, samples are put to ingenious use in songs that frequently surpass their source.

[HumanJarv]

@lladsbid I know, but to make any comparison is ridiculous, they are totally different types of music.

[lladsbid]

@HumanJarv I was stating a preference, not comparing as such. I prefer Eye Know by De La Soul to Peg by Steely Dan, but I'm not comparing them... not really.

[gordosproductions]

That's life intro sk8

[PolitoedNoise]

quel non mi piace deve levarsi da questo capolavoro,rovina l'atmosfera di PERFEZIONE!

[RRRockify]

@PolitoedNoise I don't understand you, but I clicked 'like'

[MrMarkoFarko]

Truly amazing - age has only improved this masterpiece

[nuttybongo]

As a 21st century schizoid man, i don't get it.



[geddes57]
