    For a parody, you managed to capture the Wetton-era sound almost perfectly (safe of course for Wetton's voice but oh well). That, and this is a genuinely really cool song on its own! Really nice job! >:]

    At first, I was wondering, WTF?!! ....I know every Crimson song out there, how did this one escape my attention, and everyone else's! Extremely well done (and hilarious).. you must have channeled the 1974 band...

    A few more...
    "GOMS" wasn't yet released when I wrote this in 1999; the intro is more "Great Deceiver" than anything else (and has its shaker)...
    The "pretty chord, then UGLY chord" before the verse is from "Lament"...
    There's a sorta sideways version of the "Fallen Angel" riff right before each "Starlight... BLACK!" line...
    The middle section sorta suggests "Book Of Saturday"...
    But that's good sleuthing on your part, mate! :)

    1:10 was Fripp's response to this video.
    The riff at 0:43 is pretty awesome. Sounds more like 'Level 5' to me.

      I'm pretty sure he's seen it; he seems to be aware of everything Crim-related in the world. So I've always taken his silence about it as an indication that he didn't like it. :)

    Of course it is a fake, but this is hardly the point: the creator is obviously both very clever and a big King Crimson fan, which earns points in my book certainly. And of course now I see the posts confirming it is an original... keep it up mate you are a good musician.

    This is startling.... I'm a big fan of Krimson + I'm stoned right now. I've no words to say -- or rather vice versa : too many of them are craving to be spoken. Amazing job, Pete. My friend, a very gifted musician, arranger, sound engineer and poet came up with a similar "parody of/homage to King Crimson". I'm sure you'll like it if you watch it. Here's what you type in Search here : "COVER King Crimson ,,One more red nightmare" (Delirium waltz) by Viktor Goray" . Enjoy. Best wishes..... Amazing track, one more time. WHO SANG this? Or is this a meshup of lines originally sung by Wetton himself....? Well, hardly.... If this was sung by you -- accept my congratulations. Very good imitation of John's timbre and intonations. Just as well as the poetry , come to that...

  • @StarlessL5
    @StarlessL5 14 лет назад

    My bet is that it's some ingenious mishmash of Crimson songs with various effects on different parts. I'm hearing little snippets of stuff everywhere. The vocals are probably Pete's.

    I do... Just usually not much like this. But I actually just started recording an album of acoustic-based Crim covers. I'm planning to include these songs (or bits of them): Peace - A Theme; Pictures Of A City; Schizoid Man, I Talk To The Wind; Court Of The Crimson King; Fallen Angel; Starless and Frame By Frame. If everything turns out well, some of it should turn up on my channel sooner or later... :)

    I doubt that this is actually Crimson. The voice is not John Wetton as far as my ears can tell. The guitar lacks Fripp's distinctive signature. It is a parody in my humble opinion. Still, it is quite clever and has it's moments
