    Everyone keeps asking about fripp and bruford, guys bruford retired and fripp probably won't play crimson ever again, he himself said that playing any crimson piece requires months of preparation and is an Olympic challenge and he's just too old for doing tours. The fact that we got beat at all is a great deal since king crimson was already going silent, remember that this might be one of the last times we listen to live crimson

      @funkster007 Месяц назад +7

      I'm just glad Fripp is still playing at least. He's gigging with his wife, and he's having fun. Apparently Bruford has dusted
      off his drums and is back in action to some degree as well doing some local jazz gigs.

    • @slobberkissintl3548
      @slobberkissintl3548 Месяц назад +1

      I'd love to see Fripp try his hand at composing and find some unknowns who want to master the material
      Sort of like the Philip Glass Ensemble or Steve Reich' ensemble, people who will dedicate themselves to a unique composition language
      He should get that guy el Estepario to play drums.
      He's super limb independent so each limb could phrase with a guitarist.
      Four guitars, a singing bassist, Fripp doing soundbeds under it all, and el Estepario crushing everything with sticks and beaters.
      Sounds nice to me

      True. Saw him in concert many years ago, and noticed that his solos never goes the way we expect. It’s not that kind of shredding we often hear, where the licks are practiced at home for hours. And sounds just like practicing scales. Vai’s playing is unpredictable.

    3:46 - This sh!t is BEAUTIFUL. You know the best part? Danny Carey can't help but to BE Danny Carey. Bill Bruford went his merry way a long time ago (much respect, Sir!). I saw the THRAK tour twice in 1996. Once in Michigan, and then I moved to California and saw them again at the Greek in Berkeley. Amazing. The problem was that I didn't know anything about the Bay Area (I was in Chico), so I went there in shorts and flip flops. When the sun went down and the lights came up, the temperature had dropped 30 degrees and I thought I was going to freeze to death. We worked it out. I'm living in Wyoming now, and I'm killing myself because I won't be able to see this live. Thank God for RUclips. I had the same problem with Black Sabbath's last tour.
