To this very day, i have not even heard 1 second of any King Crimson song (to the best of my knowledge).

How about this one?

Not a fan of quitters. Better to try and fix the problems instead of giving up and quitting. The best ideas are due to a necessity to change and offer a solution.


How can you fix a problem like this? Its like banging your head off a brick wall.

Not a fan of how the music industry - run by people with little interest in music and dominated by the combined anti-christs of Clear Channel, Simon Cowell, Reality Shows and the like - has killed rock music as an art form.

As a 'consumer', the public reaps what it sows. No wonder proper artists give up when confronted with what the industry has become.

Christ knows what its going to be like in 10-20 years when the current generation of veteran artists, who established themselves before the rot set in, have gone.


Well then he can try creating a new way, his own label and signing up the old acts that have fallen through the cracks. Lots of excellent material that is old isnt being distributed at all anymore. People like Ian Mac Lagan, his old stuff cant be bought new,and there must be hundreds of others just like him out there that the industry lost interest in because its not new and fresh, pop hip-hop crap. Maybe not big money makers but important overall. Someone should do it!

Good for him!!!

He owes nothing to anybody.
The current business model is something he wants no part of...
His music is being used legally, without his consent...i am sorry for that...It sucks...it really does...
He could try to pull a Michael Jackson and buy all the rights to his stuff...but that is a whole other game entirely.

Love Fripp...Belew, Levin, Pat M, Bruford, LOVE KC...Love The Sunshine Band too!!

VOO...were you at the Crimson shows on Pier 84 in NYC 1981 and 1982??

I was at the Savoy shows, NYC November 1981... what a great band it was

Later in 1982 I missed some shows from the next tour ("Beat"), I still lived in NYC but didn't know about the shows until a guy on a record store in Greenwich Village asked me if I attended them and I didn't

Then later I attended all the shows in Mexico City since the first three in 1996

Well maybe he should just fade away, unlike The Rolling Stones who will NOT FADE AWAY, and our love for them will never fade away. His fans love may fade away with him.

AGREED...THAT was amazing...

I wish the same thing could be said for the pojeKt2 thing...that was very self indulgent, IMO and rather boring
