So from the recent voting you chose that the best vocalist ever in KC was Greg Lake, John Wetton the best Bass Player and Bill Brufford the drummer. Now vote for one of the 2 options> Present Crimson: Guitars - Fripp Vocals - Belew Bass - Levin Drum - Mastelotto or Crimson made from the voted musicians> Guitars - Fripp Vocals - Lake Bass - Wetton Drum - Brufford And PLEASE give your perfect line up! thanx! ------------- SMART preachers of our doom Telling us there is no room.

The 1st option.I don't like so much the fact John Wetton plays bass and Greg Lake sings.This situation would be uncomfortable for the two members. |

I would just add Peter Sinfield on lyrics to this line-up.

Take the second option and remove Greg Lake, give vocals back to Wetton, and I'd be happy. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

A replacement guitarist would spice things up a bit!  ------------- http://www.thefreshfilmblog.com/" rel="nofollow">  |

This, but then we'd have a great place for Ian McDonald to fill up! Flute, saxes, Mellotron and maybe additional guitars. However, that would have been better in 1975 than now. Now the current(-ish) line-up works better than I think that one would. -------------

Ah, just throw all living members former or present into one big band. Call it King Chaos. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

| I guess I would prefer the imaginary line-up, but (but just as they played/sang back in the 70's). As a matter of fact, that would be my dream line-up, just add Ian McDonald on Mellotron, flute, sax, and backing vocals; David cross on Violin; and Keith Tippet on Piano... and even more, add Jamie Muir on percussions and Belew on additional guitars and vocals. And I guess Lake could do some additional bass too. And then let them play songs from all the 70's using all this musicians... |

Anyone but Fripp. He's worn out his welcome.

Sadly I think even Bob himself would agree with you there......
I love your picture of [what I assume] is your album collection! But if it's not alphabetised I may just freak out on you  ------------- http://www.thefreshfilmblog.com/" rel="nofollow"> |
