Probably the only "classic era" band where this news would sound great to me.

Very excited. As far as I'm concerned, The Power To Believe was the last KC album, everything else has been KC ProjeKcts, which may have some similarities to various KC-albums. Similar to King Crimson-proper, but not the same, and not worth comparing to this new lineup.

Just hit the Discipline site and had to read this three times to be sure I wasn't dreaming 
Very excited to see Mel Collins signing on...next to Jaxon he's my fave winds guy. Interesting...no Belew...I always felt his personality was too dominant in the 80's/90's/00's Crimso and I'm very curious to hear what they write without his lyric and vocal input...if in fact this 7 headed Hydra has any room for vocals with 3 drummers!

That's why I love KC music so much, they always(Fripp) renew themselves.

This just made my day! King Crimson is my favorite, but I had given up hope a couple of years ago that they would ever continue.
With that lineup, it seems like something really new will come out of this, which would be great.

Certainly the best announcement this year!!! I'm surprised (and a bit disappointed) that Adrian Belew is not part of the line-up but I'm 100% sure that Fripp will deliver this one again. Can't wait to hear more news, it's gonna be awesome!!!

Well for starters they have to beat this one: |
I don't think that VDGG are considered one of the classic Big Six. Last decade: Genesis - no releases; Pink Floyd - no releases; Jethro Tull - no releases (unless you count Thick as a Brick II, but since Ian Anderson solo that is a short stretch; Yes - Fly From Here; ELP - No Releases. King Crimson - The Power To Believe (2003)

Wow!
That's excellent! I'm a sucker for multiple percussionists in a band, so this is some sweet stuff IMO.
Please, oh please, let their be a new studio album!

Really excited by this with a couple of caveats, not really sure about 3 drummers, I would have prefered a percussionist, seems like overkill, I hope Jakko's main input is vocal and not songwriting.

Cool. I hope this won't be just a bunch of old guys embarrassing themselves on stage. And I hope this means the new studio album.
