I see no need for two extra drummers when they've already got one that plays like three at the same time...

Some Q&As from Belew:

q: are you in the new King Crimson planned for next september 2014?

a: no. after 32 years I am no longer in King Crimson.

q: were you asked to be in the new King Crimson?

a: no, I was not. robert informed me in an email that he was starting a 7-piece version of the band. he said I would not be right for what the band is doing.

q: so, how do you feel?

a: "happy with what I have to be happy with". which is quite a lot.

I'm busy creating something I've wanted to create all my life, something which has never been done. FLUX: never the same twice. creatively I'm exploding with new ideas, songs, and music. in 60 days I'll be touring south america with my beloved Power Trio and next spring I'll be touring europe with Crimson Project, which is a celebration of the crimson music
tony, pat, and I have help create. life is great.

q: what would you like to say to crimson fans about the new King Crimson?

a: my advice is to check it out and if you like it: support it.
and on that note: thanks to all of you for your continued support of my music.

3 drummers eh?LOL I'm taking a wild stab in the dark here, but this could prove to be the world's first prog stomp album....
 
And THAT, would be a nice and different for a while ... oh my word ... what we gonna do about the odd time signatures, and jagged guitars this and that ... gosh ... the only thing missing is Eno!
 
I would pay for that!
 
I would definitly not bother if Adrian Belew was in it. I still think that is the weakest link in most of the King Crimson stuff, and the least interesting of all.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I'm not even interested in hearing reinterpretations...new material is really what I hope comes from this.  I'm thinking that starting out reworking old songs can't help but lead to new ideas taking shape Wink

If they are not going to do any new material, I just hope they will improve on material that needs improvement on such as some songs from the Beat recording that may benefit from three drummers, just don't try to improve upon the classics like Larks Tongues ..., Red, etc.
 
Actually would like to see them interpret some of Slipknot's songs, whose technical proficency with three percussionists was often lost by boringly playing fastly intense all the time.
 
Hope they do some new material though.

I saw Belew in Japan earlier this year with Levin and Mastelloto during their Crimson Trio tour but now I don't know what he is doing...

well well well, retirement my ass, eh bob?

ive waited for a crimson with Levin to come back, and mel Collins can play, even wail, but im afraid that 'A scarcity of miracles' is the most accurate album title ever, they could have even called it 'no miracles at all', so I am very apprehensive about this effort



that being said, i'll likely attend if anywhere near boston

ugh, why couldn't it be like, fripp, muir, mastelloto, wetton and Levin, and Collins? that would be interesting if completely impossible

wonder whats up with Adrian these days, out of the NIN project, our of crimson, no info out there for a long time

Hmm, this appears to be the line up of A Scarcity of Miracles with two extra drummers, I'm getting a bit skeptical now if we need this.

I'm confident there will be a new album in the very near future and at least a couple of live releases.

I certainly hope new material will surface at some point.

At the very least I hope they officially release physical something if all they are going to do is tour. The three drummers thing is still too good a prospect to just throw away like that.

Three drummers?... Well, I hope at least one of them will play the gong and/or the triangle. Stern Smile

A new article showed up this morning on Ultimate Guitar where Fripp announces Crimso is preparing for "action of the savage variety":
