@@sigiligus Thanks for this. People who don't play guitar will never understand just how good some people out there are. We covered this in music college as a fun exercise to learn about time signatures, it is nowhere close to being properly impressive guitar playing.

@@sigiligus Maybe because it's an absolutely brilliant song and work of art. And it sounds awesome. Please do name a few songs that you think demonstrate "impressive guitar ever recorded".
Ok, yeah, the guitar parts are pretty much the most permanently mindwarping thing I've ever heard, but how about Belew's singing? Just gorgeous. You can hear so much of his influence in Thom Yorke. Of all the aspects of King Crimson that get overlooked, the biggest one for me is Belew's singing on these records, when he actually sings.
@@gashousegorillas1 I sure have. I just learned a long time ago that comparing musicians is pointless, it’s far more fulfilling to enjoy everyone’s accomplishments on their own merit.
@@TheKlausunderwin Well, Danny Carey has always been a huge fan of KC. Fitting, as he's joining them as their drummer on the tour that Belew/Levin are doing with Vai, lmao. Can't wait to go to that concert in october
I've tried many times over the years to get into them and failed. Today I fired up Discipline on a whim, and immediately got hooked into this song hard. Maybe I'm finally going to get into these guys now.
King Crimson is a little beyond me at times. The first album is superb, a little bit of Larks tongues in aspic, the song starless, and discipline is absolutely extraordinary stuff. The other stuff.....still trying. All good stuff, I am sure 👍
That was apparent in 1969 with his playing on not just the whole album but right off the bat with 21rst Century Schizoid man. It's been up hill ever since .
In the late 70's Progressive rock started dying out. The bands started to shift to pop or soft rock, or disbanded. Then came King Crimson Discipline around 1982 that basally saved the decade for music. This LP inspired so many and gave us hope that the music business could produce something interesting again. I had friends, young and old with diverse musical tastes and everyone that I played this LP for loved it.
Though some prog rock bands that shifted to pop did it wonderfully, like Yes. Some might not like 90125 because of that, but it's undeniable you can hear classic Yes and some prog mixed with pop there, and it's definitely interesting
@@ZaphiroAnejo Many of us thought the direction that Yes took was brilliant. The key was the addition of Trevor Rabin who, not only had the chops to craft commercially viable music, but was a huge fan of the band himself.
@@richarddavis5542 plus: he's a damn well skilled guitar player, unfortunately very underrated when taking a wider look upon the band's discography. See, Yes would keep him until Talk, and that album (in my opinion) is their perfect goodbye that a lot of people overlook, especially because some don't even know it exists
@@BichaelStevens Not necessarily, no. What makes something good is a variety of factors, and your own subjectivity of course. On average, I think people prefer simplicity because it’s easier on your ears. Try listening to Dream Theatre for 8 hours straight and you may go mad. I’m not a big King Crimson fan if I’m honest, but I do appreciate the rare talent and work they put into their work.
It's brilliant and it really needs "discipline" to play it. I love it. 😂 (Sadly I became handicapped and can no longer play the guitar... but I'm over the extreme sadness now and can enjoy listening to this without wanting to smash all my guitars to pulp. 😊)
@@guidomotshagen7541 That’s great! Well now I want to smash my guitar because I can’t play this because I’m a beginner. Maybe I should try it on a piano😄
@@suzycreamcheese2197 Don't give up - I know how much effort, emotional as well as physical, it takes. And it's so rewarding. Fripp is an exceptional challenge - I fully admit that not everyone can reach that level of discipline 😂 but there's so much else to play... And with time you may find - oh, now I'm quoting Rolling Stones' "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime you find you get what you need." 😂 It's true, you know. We all start crawling on hands and feet but sooner or later most of us can run. 😊
This track always sounds to me like a JRPG battle theme. I wouldn't be surprised if some japanese composers of games like Final Fantasy and such were into King Crimson. Edit: Tony Levin's backvocals here are great too.
Not king crimson but the composer of one winged angel cited Jimi Hendrix as an influence for the advent children version of the song and you can definitely hear it
This one is an underrated perfect pop song. It's so catchy, easy to remember, and the performance... These lads are a different breed of musicianship. Fkng song is ridiculously hard to play. Pick the instrument part... all of them are a nightmare to nail right. Belew live doing this one live playing guitar and singing it, one of the most impressive things to witness.
I’m so lucky I had a friend who introduced me to this album when it came out. I even got to see Robert Fripp through a presentation on music and stuff at the Berkeley campus.
I saw the Discipline Your in Atlanta in Nov. '81. This interplay of guitars Robert and Adrian), stick bass (Tony) and drums (Bill) was an early highlight of that show. Amazing musicianship!
King Crimson es BRUTAL a todos nos deja sin palabras la primera vez que escuchamos su música, el Rey Carmesí siempre será una de las mejores bandas de todas, aún pasen generaciones, estoy seguro que nunca se pierde el gusto por la buena música.
Met him about 10 years ago at a small solo under advertised gig. Super nice guy, got to have a chat and a drink with him after a mind blowing show to very few people. One of those life highlights that you dont forget quickly.
They really do. People joke about Danny Carey ripping off Bruford's style but for real, when I started learning Bruford's parts it suddenly became a lot easier to play Tools songs too...
@@Cobalt985 I can't take credit for the original observation. Danny made the connection for me in an interview, when he talked about the influence of those albums and some of the ideas he's been working on for a while. He's the GOAT IMO
I went into a record shop for a TOOL CD. Nothing. Knowing Danny was influenced by KC I gambled on Larks Tongues, and later came across this album. Both exceptional and something I can really appreciate even though my order of experience and listening is reversed.
The guitar interplay is amazing. Simply stunning playing two similar parts that separated and came back together playing the same part is so difficult to pull off. Master musicianship
I love the track as well as the whole album. Adrian Belew's influence on rhythm and energy along with oriental taste makes you enjoy the listening track after track. One of the greatest musicians ever.
I saw this incredible version of King Crimson at the Savoy in NYC and a couple of years later at the Pier on the West Side ( I also saw the famous “Last Concert” at Central Park). The tightness of this band was extraordinary. The absolute highest quality musicianship possible.
Never understood why the Chapman stick hasn't been more popular in successful bands. Makes a bit difference to the hi fi quality like Peter Gabriels So.
Sadly it might just be an obscure discovery left to the prog geniuses like Gabriel and Fripp, while most pop songs stick to the same safe instruments. If a pop musician was brave enough to start using it then I'm sure we'd see it more often, but that's just speculation
@@lemurpotatoes7988 The Chapman stick is a form of electric guitar, with 10 strings typically. Tony Levin talks about on a YT video on the Reverb channel. Check that out :). Its played two handed without strumming.
I remember playing this at the end of year performance examination about 15 or so years ago when I was at university. The 7/8 and one other obscure time signature on the guitars was so difficult to play, but kudos to our guitarists for actually making it work and getting us through it.
It's a dual lead, but one note is dropped each bar. It's actually a 13/8 when you break it down, a very unique time signature. I have a hunch that Fripp may have been a Dave Brubeck fan in his youth. Then he took that experimentation over to the guitar. Voila! KING CRIMSON!
Best live performance I've ever seen! Even used this album cover at our wedding 20 years ago on our bulletin. As well as the Power To Believe for lightning the Unity Candle. kC's true masters of their art!!!!
Saw these guys quite a few times. They are absolutely the finest live band I've ever seen. Their ability to re-create a studio sound while playing live is unparalleled. Mesmerizing song.
Didn't make that one, but I saw them at Toad's in New Haven in March of that same year. Stood about 6 feet away from Tony Levin all night. They ended that show with Lark's Toung in Aspic, Part 2. Incredible!
: pro tip - count by six after you count two measures of seven - you'll find you resolve at a six you least expect and the riff begins in unison at 7 - Robert Fripp is a genius at counting to a rhythm completely separate from the band to do wild things in another rhythm, true meditation and the true blossom of the SWICTHED ON LOTUS - masterpiece

The album is I Advance Masked. Bought it when it came out and I was a student a Berklee. Great album. Fripp and Summers wrote every song and played every instrument.

Robert Fripp's riff in this song is impossible... You can play like for 10-15 seconds at most and you lose it, but he just keeps going and going... Dann, that's just impeccable technique...
Haha I used to play it as part of my warmup. Don't forget that the bar set by the older generations is meant to be leapt over.
And then there's Fracture...
And Tony Levin.. come on...onnnnnnnnn
You watch him play and it's like he's a spectator. Not even really paying attention to what he's playing.
It"s super easy after a year :D
So both guitars are playing the same riff, but one of them's playing it with out the last note so it's in 13/8 instead of 7/4 right? And everytime they play the riff the second guitar lags behind by an extra note, and they get more and more out of sync until eventually they're exactly one bar apart and they start play at the same time again, it's crazy shit bro, you gotta hear it
Well, a good demonstration of this is Clapping Music by Steve Reich. Likely where Fripp got inspiration.
I thought Fripp was 6/8 and Belew was 7/8.
@@Blech319 Fripp drops a note on what would be two 7/8's, making it a 13/8

Yes. This is the song in which he got the most out of his natural abilities

Something definitely sounds familiar about this riff. I don't know if it's because I've heard this song before, or if it sounds like some other song.
Before tool and AIC.
All bow down to THE KING

this is the best KC album definitely
Based
I'm with you there. Court is insanely overrated. I mean... it's good. But Discipline is so much more dynamic and better paced.
What about Red?
@@timothyryan8983 Red is the most overrated in their discography. In the court of the crimson king is my fav and Discipline is a close 2nd.
