   I'm not a fan of King Crimson in general, but I love 'The Power to Believe'. So in that way, I think he's an important figure to the band.

	Big fan. Loved the Discipline-era, and I still have fond memories of seeing that band live near its end, on the Three of a Perfect Pair tour. Thought the Thrak-era was also marvelous, noisy and inventive. Lone Rhino and Twang Bar King also had a big impact on me at the time. Never fully understood all the hostility toward the man.

	I like his guitar and voice, his lyrics not so much. I definitely like what Adrian brings to KC live.

	To be honest I prefer the Lake and Wetton periods ...never been all that fond of Belew's vocals nor his guitar playing style. But being a KC fan in general I do listen to the Belew era albums and I enjoy them.

	I try not to, to be honest. I really can't stand his lyrics on albums like the Construkction of Light but really dig his rapid fire interplay with Fripp on songs like Level 5, but that's generally an exception to the rule.

	How do you feel about his influence on King Crimson?
