Yep!  Having listened only to ITCOTCK is not enough to tell KC rule; because you may like what comes after......maybe you won't!!!Confused
 
KING CRIMSON is not always talking to the wind with a Moonchild under its arm;
......... they fracture a lot of red vroom-wroom with a lizard under strict discipline as well, so be prepared!!!!!LOL
 
 
You'll have to excuse me, but it is probably with an Aleister Crowley novel under its arm!
 
Too subtle for rock fans that have to be told by Ozzie! Fans that will never read the book? Btw, Diary of a Drug Fiend is also one of the best anti-drug books EVER written!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

...that is the first thing that came to my mind as well!  

I particularly enjoyed Jakko's playing on old Crimson songs like "Pictures of a City" from ITWOP.  That was an amazing song live!!  

We shall see, I think this will be good stuff!  Bob was on top of his form in concert, I don't know that I've seen him better (and I saw LTIA in 1972!)

Fantastic news!  I like Jakko even better than Adrian, his guitar style is very much like Fripp's!!  

This is gonna be some killer stuff, based on what I saw when they played in Chicago on 26 Sept, 2014! 

those shows were otherworldly....but, the last Jakko/Bob writing was, in my opinion, completely dreadful, the perhaps more aptly named Total Absence of Miracles

Those are also my favorite KC albums.....and pretty much in that order.
I've always wondered why Fripp didn't let loose with a longer more traditional prog solo on a few of their albums but that's just not his style.
 
btw...welcome to the forums.

Yeah, I also find the second album to be repeating the formula of the first in most ways. But that isn't really what bothers me, what bothers me is that none of the songs is nearly as great as the ones on the first album, except perhaps the title song ("In the Wake of Poseidon"), which I still don't like as much as "Epitaph" or "The Court of the Crimson King", but I really love that song anyway. About how much has been said about Fripp never repeating his sound, I'm not sure I completley agree. Songs like "21st Century Schizoid Man" were used very often by him in later releases, and songs such as "Larks Toungues in Aspic 2" (and "Sailor's Tale" before it") even more so, even up to the last album he has used very similar songs. Some times with better success than others.

What manifestation is that...? The one that did Scarcity of Miracles or does he have a new touring band..?


The Scarcity Of Miracles band wasn't King Crimson, it was a Projekct.

I'm assuming that the new line-u that is touring is without Belew because Fripp wants to play older material & doesn't believe Belew suits that material as well as Jakko.

I love The Power to Believe.

It took me ages to get into KC, but I've not looked back. These days I would rank them up there with Genesis as y favourite band. They are truly remarkable in all of their manifestations, and they've not done a weak album imo. Very few bands can boast that!

King Crimson have a dark side that appeals to me after years of listening to 'nice' prog.

That is somewhat surprising that KC doesn't have a more active thread .....
yet the Flower Kings thread is still going strong.

Their activity is in polls and lists.

TFK rarely have either.

Wow, this thread actually went dormant in 2008.  I got hooked in the late '70's.  Saw them live for the first time on the Discipline tour.
