Hope I'm not repeating a previous thread...

With the spectre of Fripp putting KC into mothballs again, how about this?

I found the interactive portion of the Live in Japan 95 DVD interesting...combining different vocalists and instrumentalists on the same song to create your own "fantasy" King Crimson...

Create your own Crimson with the following guidelines:

a. Fripp is always included
b. The band will be at least four members
c. A minimum of one previous member besides Fripp and a maximum of two previous members.
d. All "fantasy" members must be in the here and the now....no John Bonhm's, no Jimi Hendrix's, etc... you catch my drift...
e. Put aside any existing press about any personality conflicts or conflicting musical styles


My line-up, a seven piece:

Fripp - Guitar, Mellotron
Tony Levin - Stick, Bass, B. Vox
Trent Gardner - Trombone, Keys, B. Vox
Theo Travis - Woodwinds
Zoltan Csorsz - Drums
Barry Andrews - Keys, Lead Vox
Benoît Moerlen - Mallets

Nothing so complicated for me...take the 1972 Fripp/Bruford/Wetton/Cross/Muir line up and simply ditch Cross and replace him with Tippett (Ok, only a part-time collaborateur and not a proper member, so what!!)

Now theres a show

holy...  I thought I was the ONLY one who thought Zoltan would be the PERFECT drummer for King Crimson!    I even made a thread about it a while back!

As for myself...  I'd like to see

Robert Fripp - Guitar/Frippertronics
Zoltan Csorsz - Drumkit
Jonas Reingold - Bass
Fredrik Thordendal - Guitar/breath controller

Just picture that for a moment.
