...is responsible for the spastic and sinister-sounding "Facts of Life"??
By far, my favorite Crimson *sound*, even if it's not my fave *song*. It's just, well, "sinister" is the only word I arrive at every time. =0) It's almost metal, even.

The personnel on that were Fripp, Belew, Masetelotto and Gunn.

But, The Power to Believe, man I gotta get that.
Last I heard there were six in the band (incl both TLev and Trey) but I don't keep up with it well. |

This most recent lineup (Gunn/Mastelloto/Belew/Fripp), with all electronic drums and Trey's Warr guitar, is definitely interesting. But I can't quite call it my favorite Crimso. Seen that lineup twice, as well.
If you want the heavy metal version, I highly recommend the '73-'74 lineup, with the Bruford/Wetton rhythm section. Holy pants, but that's the stuff. Maybe you already heard that stuff though.... What I wouldn't give to have seen that incarnation live.
Anyway, I love "Larks' Tongues in Aspic", "Starless and Bible Black", the live "Night Watch", and "Red". All killer stuff.

The first time I heard a track off of Power to Believe, Happy With What You Have to be Happy With, I just yelled "YES!" I love the big rolling in your face sound of that song and of the new album in general. I really like the drummer that Mastelotto has become.

great great band, and they started out sounding a lot like red-era kc, but progressed on to a really unique sound all their own.

I changed it up quite a bit, but the song is (sort of ) still there. Besides, it's free! |

Ticket booth person: "Would this fifth row center seat be OK?" Me: "Oh, drat, I guess so." I love the recorded stuff from that era the most, but I think the first U.S. Discipline tour was my favorite live KC performance of the 5 or so I've seen. I don't know how many club dates that band did, but the one I saw was stupifying, in a good way. Hard to pick just one though, and that mid-70s show was truly remarkable as well. |

There's a DVD of the Power to Believe tour called 'Eyes Wide Open.'
Really love Trey's semi-hollow fretless Warr tone!
There's a DVD of the Double-Trio lineup called Deja Vroom, it's really nice too.
Just watched both of them a few days ago.
I like all the KC lineups, each offers something really different. Hadn't heard Trey was gone though. |

brad cook | You've never heard The League of Gentlemen, have you? It's Fripp and some younger cats doing a punk/dance band kind of thing. It's awesome, and hilarious. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
