If your only exposure to King Crimson was this video, what catagory of prog would you classify it as?

1. No man would ever want to pretend that he had never heard king crimson cos they are incredible

2. how the hell can you just magically erase any knowledge of what they sound like.

YOU REALLY SUCK!

The point I was trying to make is that the actions they do in this video are really crazy and definitely aren't "symphonic prog", it's almost closer to rock in opposition or even post-rock than anything else I can think of.  I was wondering what everyone else thought as well.

Certainly would not put it on to pick up women with or right before sex.

 

It reminds me of the Waitng Room by Genesis off of the Lamb and Totus Nemesis off the First Proto-Kaw CD.

sorry MO.

KC are very hard to define as one genre indeed as their releases and different artists styles differ so much.

GREAT DECIEVER!!!

this is an excerpt from Deja VROOOM, tracks B'Boom and THRAK. Most people classify KC as symphonic which is only partial true, as the symphonic phase last only for 2 years (Islands is more classical sounding).
I’ve always categorized crimson improvised music as RIO, free-rock, avant-garde.

Frenchie didn't own me one bit.  I asked what this ONE PIECE would be classified as, disregarding whatever opinions one may have about King Crimson.  If anything, you just owned yourself.

owned? I want trying to purchase/adopt/obtain any one on this thread. Just the thought of even pretending i had to give up all my great krimson listening is insulting! I love MO really, i find him to be one of the posters on this forum who i always look out for cuz i know he's gonna say something intelligent, humourous and/or intruging and interesting. Perhaps this was one of the weaker posts of his.

I really just wanted to show off this video, it's a lot different than the idea that most people have of King Crimson.

I think KC also created the standard for the sound of symphonic prog with their 1st album, so they were stigmatized with that genre.
