  • Ian McDonald needs to rejoin King Crimson along with Michael Giles and Greg Lake as soon as possible!!!

    Come on. It's their 40th anniversary.

  • Nope. Peter Giles played bass on the 2nd record, In The Wake of Poseidon. GL played bass and sang on the first album and subsequent tour. He left the band, but agreed to sing on some of the 2nd record. Ian McDonald was the flute/sax player, and wrote a good portion of the music on the first record.

  • OT but read the Andy Summers memoir One Train Later in which he gives an impression that Mike Giles was in backing band for Neil Sedaka's UK tour around 1973 and recommended Andy to him.

  • I love how Ian speaks of Crimson for 5 1/2 minutes in this interview and Foreigner for 2 1/2. When there is nearly nothing to say, best to say nearly nothing....

  • I love the first King Crimson line up.

  • Ian: Will there ever be a follow-up to "In the Court of the Crimson King" (with you and Robert, et alii) ?

  • @TuneInTurnOnDropOutt

    Ιndeed ! But it should have been in the market by now and i don't know why everytime i check at DGM mail order it's still  on pre-sale... I'm going to check again ! I can hardly wait !

  • @MrLizardisle That's great! Fripp and Jackzyk together? I guess he liked what he heard from the Schizoid Band and asked him to join, great!

  • I'm the 40 000th watcher of this video, do i win something ??

  • Nice interview, but I'd like to hear about Ian's contribution to Kg. Cr. with his flute. He was one of the few flute players in rock at the time, along with Ian Anderson, Chris Wood, and Peter Gabriel. His solo on "I Talk to the Wind" is smooth.

  • @TuneInTurnOnDropOutt indeed he is not until now, although in the new ''King Crimson Project'' -jackzyk,  colins & fripp, which is obvious that it will form the basis of the new KING CRIMSON, there is definately an ''aura'' of nostalgia in the title song (a scarcity of miracles). We will find out about the rest of the album as soon as it becomes available.

  • @nasmformyzombie really...never heard that 1.
