Can't believe this hasn't been posted yet, but see here: http://www.dgmlive.com/diaries.htm?diarist=3 "So, King Crimson is in motion. This is a very different reformation to what has gone before: seven players, four English and three American, with three drummers. The Seven-Headed Beast of Crim is in Go! mode."  |

SAAAWEEEEET!!!!! 3 drummers eh?  I'm taking a wild stab in the dark here, but this could prove to be the world's first prog stomp album. Either way, I am really looking forward to it. Wasn't that big on the last KC project. Too much vaseline and no real zing. Pleasant but mostly forgettable imo.------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Just hit the Discipline site and had to read this three times to be sure I wasn't dreaming Very excited to see Mel Collins signing on...next to Jaxon he's my fave winds guy. Interesting...no Belew...I always felt his personality was too dominant in the 80's/90's/00's Crimso and I'm very curious to hear what they write without his lyric and vocal input...if in fact this 7 headed Hydra has any room for vocals with 3 drummers!

Very excited. As far as I'm concerned, The Power To Believe was the last KC album, everything else has been KC ProjeKcts, which may have some similarities to various KC-albums. Similar to King Crimson-proper, but not the same, and not worth comparing to this new lineup. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

Fantastic! I love Belew, but in some ways it's more exciting not having him involved in this lineup, feels like more of a real new KC era, rather than a continuation of the 80s-2000s (although, it of course will be that to some extent). Could easily be disappointing, but will doubtless be interesting. One point, relating to any live shows they do: is Jakko's voice high enough to cover Belew's range/songs? Could it be that instead, they do versions of some of the 70s vocal songs (which Belew didn't perform as far as I'm aware, except Schizoid Man) which are more in his range? Though I guess it's largely unlikely, three drummers would suggest continuing to move in the same direction they've been going, which wouldn't really fit with that, but you never know, there could be some rearrangements.

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.

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. http://https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10150326970014995&id=6696764994" rel="nofollow - source |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't a scarcity of miracles actually NOT a king crimson album? I was under the impression it was a different project. So I'm not understanding all the comparisons. As for the 3 drummers, I'd guess its most likely the 2 drummer set up that crimson had a few years back when they still toured with Belew, plus some guy who makes sound effects such as another Jamie Buir. Crimson has never actually ventured into so called world music so I doubt they'll do something as interesting as adding bongos, djembe, or tabla. |

Hi,
I like the 3 drummers idea.
One goes left, the other goes right and the other goes, who knows where, and he can take the guitar in any direction he feels like, and it will be a treat to see how well everyone goofs around and allows him the freedom to move around with the guitar, which I think is what he wants to do, something that would be a much more rock-like version of some of his solo albums without the song pretexts in the way!
If that is the case, this will be worth checking out! If it's just a bunch of songs, I doubt that this will be worth a nickel, though I trust Robert enough, to feel that it will be worth it.
I would like to see some serious free form stuff, and see the changes each night in concert. That would be a treat, and it would show that one of the game's best improvisational artists, is still at it, and not afraid to do it! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

I understand that Fripp is indeed particularly interested in touring, and and I'd really like to see them if they come close. However, I would rather get to hear some of the songs I really love that haven't been able to hear live. Some improvs during the concert would be very cool indeed, since it wouldn't be a Crimson concert otherwise. But if the show consisted only of improvs, I'm afraid I might just as well pass on it, it's kind of expensive and time consuming going on a 3 hour trip and back, plus ticket prices, and not be totally sure I'll love it. |

| I'm guessing they will tour otherwise why bother putting all this together. An album imo is less likely than a tour(look at the band Kansas for proof of touring as more lucrative than recording). Anyway, I'll consider seeing them if they play in my area. If there is going to be a new album then it goes without saying that should be an automatic purchase for many of us. |

Great news they are still kicking. I had a hold of a rare KC vinyl album and wanted some opinions from the Crimsonians out there. The album was the vinyl of second studio release In the Wake of Poseidon complete with Pink Island label so is original pressing. very good condition, dealer selling for another guy on consignment and wanted $70 Aus for it. Its a lot of money really for what it is tho I was tempted. Would anyone out there pay that much for it? I know it looked nice with gatefold and great cover art but pushing nigh to $100 for an album stretched it for me. I did like the copy the dealer had of vinyl Genesis TLLDOBroadway, and TD's Phaedra - both in exc condition and rare original pressings. Anyway just throwing it out there. -------------

| Yes. If you look further on the page, there's a brief clip of Rieflin playing A Sailor's Tale, and Schizoid Man and Red are also confirmed. Also, Rieflin also plays mellotron. |

Jeez! I thought one guy would be playing a full drumset, another a drumset with ethnic percussion and the other with percussion you couldn't play from a stool (gongs and whatnot)--not 3 full drumsets!

Very nice 3 drummers---but I think Bruford used to be able to do that and get the same effect with one hand tied behind his back
