King Crimson to reform

2013-09-24 by praise jimmy EMERITUS | 135 Comments
The 8th incarnation of King Crimson will be Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Mel Collins, Jakko Jakszyk and Robert Fripp.

Writing on his (not yet published) dairy for September 24th Fripp notes "The Point Of Crim-Seeing was of a conventional Back Line – Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin, Tony Levin and Pat Matstelotto - reconfigured as the Front Line, with Mel Collins, Jakko Jakszyk and myself as Back Line."

Robert goes on "All the Crims have expressed great excitement at the return to Go! mode. Given the considerable commitments of all members, it will take a year before Crimson is able to perform."

In his (not yet published) diary for September 7th Fripp begins "dear brother crims, we have one year to prepare for action of the savage variety, and be in Go! mode for september 2014… but essentially, King Crimson is in motion."

Robert expects that they’ll be rehearsing, in full and small group formations over that period.

Well, in terms of musicianship I'm not gonna debate that. But Fripp
was always the brains behind the band.

I'd say I prefer a couple drummers to Bruford, but I admit Red
wouldn't have been the same without him.

Yeah Fripp was obviously the band leader but in terms of musicianship drumming was always really important in KC, especially when Bruford was in the band.

for sure

don't get me wrong, bruford is probably the greatest prog drummer of all time

That's why I disagree that KC is all about Fripp. Bruford proved that who's behind the kit can make a huge difference.
