I liked the way the review just got progressively worse..., it was almost unreadable by the end.  I can imagine him sitting their, swigging on his bottle o' Bud and feeling merry, whilst typing this claptrap.

"I Talk to the Wung" that was a classic, I may have to use that sometime...

Is Wung a relation of So On and Stuff?

My favorite part was "I Talk to the Wung"

By the way EL, I'm an indirect descendant of the great composer Stuff.  It's about time he got the recognition he deserved.  He was almost as great as the Chinese composer So On. 

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Thanks. I never saw that button. That's the kind of functionality that I always wished there was on the forum but I never knew it existed.

I was smiling throughout the whole thing, but this part made me burst out laughing. The lack of knowledge of someone with no apparent knowledge of classical music trying to sound intelligent is funny enough, but I can just imagine a drunk person and their tone of voice as they go "like BACH and STUFF."

 ... classic.

STUFF was one of the most famous composers of the late 18th Century. Rober Fripp has often cited him as a major influence in the work of King Crimson.

The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.

"ROBERT FRUUP AND FRIENDS showed the stupid, filthy hippies how real MUSIC should be played."

I'm guessing he don't much like hippies?

The notion that only threads in the Prog msuic lounge is misguided and wrong. Some of the most popular threads are in other sections. If you use the "Active topics" facility, the section the thread is in becomes irrelevant to the reader.

"Many parents were afraid to bring their kids to rock concerts, as the moshing was the new fashion in the late 60's, and many who went to concerts never returned home."

Blimey - whose concerts were those?

And who is this Robert Fruup guy?

KING CRIMSON "In the Court of the Crimson King"
Review (Permanent link) by Chinwag Shall We
Posted 3:36:43 AM EST, 11/28/2005
5 stars   This is how DEATH METAL was born. Essential! Just when pop music became pop, KING CRIMSON showed the world the true, brutal side of music. Many parents were afraid to bring their kids to rock concerts, as the moshing was the new fashion in the late 60's, and many who went to concerts never returned home. ROBERT FRUUP AND FRIENDS showed the stupid, filthy hippies how real MUSIC should be played. When it was trendy to sing like you are a pedophile, Greg Lake's tortured, distorted vocals full of teenage angst exploded on the late 60's music scene.

The first track, 21st Century Schizoid Man, kicks a lot of ass. Decades after true metalheads will discover this masterpiece and play even faster and heavier. Without this track, no DEATH METAL would exist today, in the same shape we know it. Forget BLACK SABBATH and LED ZEPPELIN, now this is HEAVY! This song is really cool, it has some really funny jazzy moments, I always laugh at them wehn I am stowned or drunk(like right nwo!).

The second track shows what every METAL band should sound like: diverse and unpredictival. First they explode DEATH METAL bands, and then they play the FLUTE or maybe MELLOTRON(it's the same thing, right?). OPETH and FANTOMAS would later adapt this innovative iddea by fusing the brutal and the beautiful side of musi together. This isn'y rrally DEATH METAL, but without this song, the HEACY genre wuld be boring and every song wouls doiung the same.

The third song makes the listener fall asleep. I think it was FRUUP's intention to fall asleep the listeenr. If it is your bad time, then go to bad and turn it on, but if it isn't, skip the tracxk and listen to Epitaph.

Epitaph is very emotional and depressing. Without it, OPETH and AGALLOCH would never exist, if they did, it would be in some boring METAL shape, properly. I try not to listen to this song too much, it makes me cry, so I usually just skip ot track number 5 straight after I Talk To The Wung.

The last song is a masterfecei!!!!!! It combines ROCK and maybe METAL with SYMPHONIC elements(like BACH and STUFF). This is cool and innovative! While Beatles(tupid hippys)were wasting heir time doing dtugs and Yes were w**king their instruments, KING CRMSON and ROBERT FRUUP fused HEAVINESS and SUMPHONICNESS. EMPEROR, THERION and ETC. would later adapt this idea.

IN OTHER WORDS DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME IF YOU LIKE METAL YOU MUST BUY IT IT CREATED MUSIC GOOD MUSIC IM EAN


One of the best abuse reviews yet

This was the best part IMO:

" then they play the FLUTE or maybe MELLOTRON(it's the same thing, right?) "



Essential stuff.

KING CRIMSON "In the Court of the Crimson King"
Review (Permanent link) by AP Russo
Posted 5:51:30 AM EST, 11/28/2005
5 stars   I found the latest review of ITCOCK by "Chinwag shall we" exhilarating... as if the greatness of this record should be measured on the impact it had on "AGALLOCH".... he he, Fripp may be really proud of this one About the "stupid, filthy hippies" (I seem to perceive a slight hint of anthagonism towards left-wing politics here, probably Emperor's fans are not exactly illuminated socialists...) that have been taught by Mr """""Fruup"""""" how to play real music, just grow up man, and listen to some more music of the same period, just like the latest Beatles and the Beach Boys (oh, I forgot, they probably taught nothing to the likes of MESHUGGATH or IMPALED NAZARENE). here, now I'm depressed by having to submit my first review on this piece oh history of 2oth century music just by aswering another one. Long live King Crismon. And, oh, by the way, I thing that Lizard and Red are even better.
