I'm gonna second that ...
I think that we're actually Moonchildren here, all walking around with our heads looking at the ideals of "progressive" music ... and never once actually listening to it? .... something like that .... it's all about the idealism and the time and place ... and that song says it all!

Well, you have the kid with wealth in his life, with a guitar in hand, whose main interest is in Disipline and none of the other Crimso titles. Well That's like a whole group of Crimso listeners. A percentage which is high. Then you have a group of Crimso fans that are only interested in the Bruford/Wetton years. This is only because they were huge Yes fans and gained some interest in BB'S career after his departure from Yes. They for the most part, do not consider the early years of the band desirable or even consider the material to be musically desirable. Then you have those you put emphasis only on Red....because Kurt Cobain was influenced by it. Then there are the fans of 69-71 period who appreciate the Bruford/Wetton years but, consider the first 4 titles as the masterpieces But,....can not listen to them for feeling jaded.
Each of these groups should have a name of their own
I feel they overpopulated the Crimson cult with narrowminded attitudes. They of course have the right ! But, I strongly feel they may be missing certain points regarding the listening experience with King Crimson. |

Strange really, but in my head I've always thought Crimsonites. No idea why, and it's not used, as far as I know. Just a word I use to myself. Woops, just seen that it is actually used here, so I must have gotten it from these pages and it must've stuck at sometime in the past. |

*sigh* I met RF when he toured record stores in 1979, with Les Paul, pedalboard and "Frippertronics" Revox tape players in tow! He gave us all a rather curious talk about the "vampiric" relationship between fans and performer.... So, just call me a Crim-Sucker! Merry Christmas!

My kneejerk reaction is to say 'lemmings'. But then, that is a bit unfair in terms of the music played throughout all the albums, it is always interesting - anything that involves those musicians is bound to be. My problem with it - and with the 'fans of Crimson' aspect is that for my money, none of these albums are King Crimson at all, only the first one was. The following albums were all about Fripp & co using the fame generated by that first album to justify doing whatever the hell they liked, relevant to anyone else or not. It certainly wasn't a lot to do with 'King Crimson'. People are of course perfectly entitled to listen and enjoy all that followed that first album. But please don't be under the illusion that it has anything to do with the band that played 'In the Court of the Crimson King'. It was a glorious moment, and momentous for this archive. But it was gone almost as soon as it arrived. |
