His 1st claim to fame ( AFAIK) was being the original bassist for King Crimson, writing/recording bass on KC's first 1 or 2 albums, including "In The Court of the Crimson King"
In Emerson, Lake & Palmer, he was playing bass AND guitar...
I think in more recent years he's played more guitar than bass, but then I think he's possibly doing the singer-songwriter thing...
...I don't know what he's up to atm

I think he means Roger Taylor, Queens drummer, Who often played some guitar on some of his songs back in the Queen days, Like" sheer Heart attack" from news of the world.
AFter Queens demise for a while , after Fredie died He had a Band Called The Cross That released several Recordings in the UK with him on guitar and some one else drumming. |
