Did Fripp come up with two-hand tapping, I think not Stern Smile

Yes that is the point I was making. Fripp's leads on Schizoid Man hold similarities to death metal soloing. I guess my Avenged Sevenfold comment was unnecessary since it would be Maiden and Metallica that they got their influence from as opposed to Genesis.

also Hackett did not invent two hand tapping.

I never thought of Hackett's lead playing as metal-related. It's very melodic and classical influenced with a big tone but I don't see how that's metal. I see more relation to metal in say Fripp's lead work on 21st Century Schizoid Man, what with all the experimentation with wild noises and atonal melodies, holds a lot more similarities to future death and thrash metal soloing. Hackett's soloing has more similarities with Avenged Sevenfold than death metal :P


Avenge SevenfoldLOL more like Iron Maiden and Metallica, death metal sucksShocked for the most part

Why do you think that?

I'm not a fan of the low growling vocals and drumming, it all sounds the same, but Death is good. I' more of a fan of Thrash and Classic metal and their solos are more fluid and there's more varietyWink. I know a lot of Thrash sounds the same too but at least it varies more

after a quick search it seems he was indeed one of the first for rock music, although Ritchie Blackmore claims seeing Harvey Mandel do it as far back as '68. Still, it was already used a lot in jazz guitar and other stuff prior to Hackett.

also would like to point out that I don't deny Hackett's influence on heavy metal soloing but we were talking specifically about the heaviness of Genesis and I don't think Hackett's soloing is enough for me to consider Genesis heavy ever

The Musical Box, The Knife,The Return of the Giant Hogweed to me sound like they influenced Prog MetalShocked. Therefore I think those songs are heavy as for the later stuff not so much but those song are indeed heavy in my opinion. The stuff is earlier than anything Crimson ever did besides Schizoid Man but even at that I don't that song is really that Heavy aside from the power chords and drumming it really doesn't have what I love about Metal musicEvil Smile

I suggest that you look up Metal Evolution the Episode for Prog Metal. Michael Giles is on it and he flat-out says that King Crimson is not Metal

nobody is saying King Crimson is metal. You don't have to be metal to influence metal. Genesis are not metal either. And Steve Hackett is not metal.

You're right, Rome Wink but you are acting as if they are though

I never said KC were metal. The point I'm supporting is that I think King Crimson's heavy sections are heavier than any time Genesis gets a bit heavy, because I don't really think Genesis is ever heavy

In this case heavy is in the ear of the beholder. I think Genesis has their moments of heaviness and they happened before KC pretty much

I had obviously made a comment comparing the track Red to Genesis or Yes, not KC tracks prior to Hogweed, Gates of Delirium, Musical Box.  So now you are just twisting the argument in a desperate bid to 'win' it.   If that does not characterise trolling, I don't know what does.   And I don't see how Gates of Delirium is anywhere near as heavy as Red, not even close.   Neither of those bands ever had such an industrial sound as that lineup of KC.   I do agree that Hackett's solo on Musical Box anticipates the approach of metal lead guitar but for heavy rhythm guitar, KC is a lot more like metal than Genesis or Yes ever were.

Nope, because Schizoid was even earlier than Nursery Cryme, to say nothing of Relayer.   In 1969, there was nothing as heavy as 21st century Schizoid Man and once again in 73-74, with Fracture and Red, KC made some of the heaviest rock music up to that point.
