@zarakhast But 100 IQ is ideal for survival, and genius is often inhibiting of such (and few find it attractive in a mate) Evolution that made humans the smartest also provides a ceiling to hold us there. Sucks.
This song is sooo DAMN radical.... The total ROCK anthem of the 70's.... Brutal power... Tightly controlled... Best bloody 3-piece that ever existed!!! 'nuff said !!!
i re cremisi il primo gruppo a creare queste meraviglio che per quanto risalgono a 40 anni fa e per quanto le abbia ascoltate 31 milioni di volta non mi stanco mai di riascoltarle...
@Lightmane321 As do I, on Vinyl. But definitely going to get the DVD-A DTS 5.1 version remixed by Steven Wilson and Robert Fripp because I just got the Discipline DVD-A and that's awesome and Red is a better album.
My psych teacher commented on my Rush shirt and we got to talking about king crimson and he said i was the only high school student he'd had since the 90s who knew who they were. I'm sure thats not true, but its nice to make that connection with a teacher who i now really like and respect.
@pythonbyte Fripps 65 and I'm 67 an I been listening to him since we were both in our 20's.
Guys that can produce soundz like this and those that appreciate and listen to it, may get old, but never boring............ Sonny Fripps married to Toyah and my girls 32.
I have there album starless and bible black on vinyl it kicks ass and sounds amazeing for something from 1974 i love it and hope to find more of there records
ATTENTION PROG FANS! WE MUST OBEY KING CRIMSON! Every day, we will watch 21st Century Schizoid Man, by Hydra136!

King crimson is the king of progressive rock, many many rock bands have some sort of connection from or with this unit of masters and their affects in music. (Here is a thought !) I'm a big fan of Chris cornell and he has done some covers from time to time . Imagine Chris doing some covers or even playing with belew, or fripp with his wild loud sound of vocals.
I agree with you, hard does not make it better. I was only commenting on this song, some stuff I hear I am like" Whoa man a little less notes and more of something else".
IF ANYONE THINKS THIS MUSIC IS AWFUL, THEN TRY TO PLAY IT AND LET US HEAR YOU PLAY IT!! I DARE YOU. GO AHEAD. THIS IS GENIUS. IF YOU DONT THINK ITS GOOD THEN GO AND LISTEN TO SOMETHING ELSE BUT LEAVE THIS ONE ALONE. KING CRIMSON RULES!!
@blackmichael75 No thats not what I was trying to get across. To me, and I might be wrong, alot of people are saying its scale driven prog rock. But I see it different. When I play this song I can feel the emotions of this song. It has feeling, and character. Now no one has to like this song because its difficult(its not that hard to learn). But to me it has feeling which alot of bands and music lack. I am sorry if I was coming across like a music snob, but I think Fripp rules.
@blackmichael75 Among Crimson songs, this one isn't quite so difficult to play.... more straight forward than other KC--really dramatic, without any nonsense, like movie music, which is what i love about it.
@dotothenn I like this music, don't get me wrong. But just because it is hard to duplicate doesn't always mean it is good. Sometimes for that very reason it can suck. This song is not one of them, but I needed to point that out. Carry on...carry on....
@hollyfigueroa1980 Thats not actually what I was trying to get across with my comment. The song is not that hard to play, but if people dont like it, well thats fine too. I have always thought of KC full of feeling and mentally visual stimulating. I see myself in a car chase with people shooting guns at me, and a lady in the passenger seat and I am off to save the world, yea!! That is a big fantasy but that is what I look for in a good song. Escapism at its finest. But that is just me.
@bobbyjeffersonbobby Hey meathead, trolling is gay. "Dees fagots" are a helluva lot richer than you'll ever be in a thousand lifetimes, not to mention a helluva lot smarter, you self-loathing, little worm. Why don't you go suck on "dees nuts," you cerebrally dissonant fucktard!
@bobbyjeffersonbobby From the level of your comments and the standard of your English, it's quite obvious you don't have the necessary credentials to appreciate KC ie, a brain.
@BPSensemble Who ever said Camel were progressive? They were a comfy-cozy, afternoon pot of tea and plate of digestive biccies, Agatha Raisin mystery art rock. I would listen to them when I couldn't sleep. There is no way that they challenged the listener the way that progressive was supposed to.
Robert Fripp breaks my heart. This is my favorite album as it wraps up everything they were about since Lark's tongues ... that feeling ... like when you hit those wood blocks or gong ... or let those guitar strings sing out colors ...
My dad made listen to this song a lot of years ago. I didn't like it. A couple of months ago, something in my mind changed and I began to understand King Crimson.
This is complete shit. Why don't you fucking King Crimson fanatics listen to some real prog (you know, the kind that qualifies as music), like Yes, Camel, or Jethro Tull.
@TheBPSEnsemble poor troll... by the way, YES is boring and dull with very few interesting songs: i rather listen chill out, and im not really into that either. Jethro had his moment, and it was short: he exploited the sound of the pipe as much as it was possible, but when you get stuck with an instrument as lame as that, you cant go too far. Real classic prog mostly comes from the king and pink floyd. current cool bands: almost anything from stephen wilson, green carnation, opeth, and a few o
@ArturoDabdoub Dude, I can't understand what the guys problem is that you responded to, but seriously, you don't like Jethro or Yes? I love all prog, and this BPSEnsemble guy is retarded, but I also love Yes and Jethro, as well as many other prog bands, just as much as King Crimson.
@bbout19 well, in my case, i think jethro is a bit overrated (he started ok, but he quickly stayed in the same spot), just like nirvana when grunge was popular (nirvana had a few cool songs, but they werent really great; the smashing pumpkins is a similar case).
I also dont like Yes since i find most of their songs and style kind of annoying and most time a little too much "happy happy joy joy", but do respect their skills as musicians, even if as composers are in another place.
@ArturoDabdoub Well, I think that Yes and King Crimson are quite opposites in style, but both amazing technically and from a compositional stand point, and Jethro Tull is a band, not a person......I just can't seem to understand people who like King Crimson and ONLY King Crimson because they feel that their is no other band that can compete.....I beg to differ.....
Im not a big fan of king, but i do like them a lot more than yes and jethro, and as i wrote to the other guy, i currently like more (in prog) many things done by steven wilson, and also a band that is in limbo (since the leader wont let it die) known as green carnation.
@bbout19 The reason some people feel no other band can compete with King Crimson is that, on the whole, none can. The quality of the music speaks for itself but it's the longevity is where they've got the edge. King Crimson released at least six magnificent albums during a span of four decades. The fruits they bore in those various decades sound so dissimilar you might think four different bands did them. Other bands might be as good musically, but who can match King Crimson's catalog?

@TheBPSEnsemble don`t get me wrong, i love those bands, but are you fucking retarded? crimson literally invented prog. in the court of the crimson king, the first prog album. get you're facts straight dumb ass. rush, another great prog band, has sighted king crimson many times for their prog influences.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH sorry, but, the power of this song has just made my head explode
@MrMicaiah123 and you're the guy that everybody (not so) secretly hates so you try to be mainstream to get acceptance from others to feel almost good about yourself.
this music has nothing to do with metal, its about intensity in the music, mozart, gentle giant, music emporium, and many other musicians used that style in their music, they are not expressing any type of anger or "pumped" feeling (as not all metal is angry) that metal would give... its just unfortunate that its can be mistaken for metal...
they even have cellos in this song lol... progressive music at one of its best
there's this kind of independent band called Transam that I used to think had their own sound - like nothing I had ever heard a few years ago. I hear this song for the first time and realize that Transam ripped King Crimson off to the note.
I remember as a teen drummer in the mid 70's hearing this album for the first time and having my mind completely blown to smithereens listening to this music! UNBELIEVABLE SONG! I must have listened to the "RED" album hundreds of times. It was so unique and beyond my wildest imagination...True Musicians At Their Best!
@olmking You're thinking "singer." "Lyricists" write the lyrics. Singers just sing them. King Crimson had Peter Sinfield up through Islands and Robert Palmer-James from Larks Tongues through Red. But I think Belew has written lyrics since then, so that should be three.
In my opinion, based on the thousands of hours of brilliant music I've heard, this is hands down the finest piece of instrumental rock music ever made.
super !!

@TheBPSEnsemble don`t get me wrong, i love those bands, but are you fucking retarded? crimson literally invented prog. in the court of the crimson king, the first prog album. get you're facts straight dumb ass. rush, another great prog band, has sighted king crimson many times for their prog influences.

@progrocker9 Great quote. You know your prog. Best thing Bruford ever did. Although Yes did some fantastic music, too.

This is a great song, which kind of reminds me of a band I've heard a few days ago, Aperco. Hear the similarity at their channel apercoband

@MrMicaiah123 and you're the guy that everybody (not so) secretly hates so you try to be mainstream to get acceptance from others to feel almost good about yourself.

Bill Bruford is the Wayne Gretzky of percussion. He makes everyone in the band 50 goal scorers

this music has nothing to do with metal, its about intensity in the music, mozart, gentle giant, music emporium, and many other musicians used that style in their music, they are not expressing any type of anger or "pumped" feeling (as not all metal is angry) that metal would give... its just unfortunate that its can be mistaken for metal...
they even have cellos in this song lol... progressive music at one of its best

there's this kind of independent band called Transam that I used to think had their own sound - like nothing I had ever heard a few years ago. I hear this song for the first time and realize that Transam ripped King Crimson off to the note.

I always hear this song in my local musicstore and I wondered what it was.
So today I randomly typed in King Crimson because I had already heard of them.
And coincidentially I found the excact same song here and I love it.
It's very dark and progressive.

I remember as a teen drummer in the mid 70's hearing this album for the first time and having my mind completely blown to smithereens listening to this music! UNBELIEVABLE SONG! I must have listened to the "RED" album hundreds of times. It was so unique and beyond my wildest imagination...True Musicians At Their Best!

@mylesmonroe What about Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath? That's not probably not just the creation of doom metal, bur metal itself.

Dude, "two lyricists" ?? Greg Lake, Jon Anderson, Bill Wetton, Adrian Belew...
olmking 8 months ago
@olmking You're thinking "singer." "Lyricists" write the lyrics. Singers just sing them. King Crimson had Peter Sinfield up through Islands and Robert Palmer-James from Larks Tongues through Red. But I think Belew has written lyrics since then, so that should be three.

In my opinion, based on the thousands of hours of brilliant music I've heard, this is hands down the finest piece of instrumental rock music ever made.
