Favourite King Crimson moment

Cause I love me some Bruford gonna say those deliciously nasty cymbal sounds on the Red album, particularly from the eponymous track and One More Red Nightmare. Bruford said in one interview that he achieved that cymbal sound on 'Nightmare using one bent in the shape of an L that he once found in the trash can of a rehearsal room. He later tried to convince a percussion company to manufacture one to that design, but they weren't interested. On an old Genesis live poster with Bruford that I have laying around somewhere, the cymbal can actually be seen on his kit. I always thought it was a ripper of a china.........

It definitely gives off a china sound but something is much different.

Being blown away--over and over again--by how essential Tony Levin's contributions were to their music. (1982, 83, 84 tours).

Starless' climax.

That time they influenced a massive amount of the music that I enjoy.

I really like what they did between 1976 and 1980.

'21st Century Schizoid Man' - 1971, Academy Of Music, New York City.

Another one ... seeing the 21st Century Schizoid Band in Hollywood back in the early 2000s with a close prog friend. Like a lurch, I went right up to the stage and stood below Mel Collins and was in complete awe. One phenomenal show I wasn't foolish enough to pass up (although we did pass on the post-show autograph session as it was a week night and approaching 1:30 a.m. - I regret that now).

The moment I submitted one of my Children's Stories to a publisher in Montreal and found out the owner (Alison Fripp) was in fact Robert Fripp's Cousin. Other than that...nothing at all.

Well, enjoying all their music of course.
