King Crimson/Trivia: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Creator Backlash]]: Averted somewhat. The group will still play older tracks (Red, Larks' Tongues in Aspic Pt. 2, and some of the 1980's repertoire are still used in the recent lineups), but Robert (and probably the group) are sick and tired of [[Fan Dumb|the fans who only want to hear the old stuff]], [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|and completely ignore the group's new repertoire]]. Promoters who bank on the group's prog rock history to sell seats don't help either.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] / [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: King Crimson borrowed members from or to a number of other prog bands with its various lineup changes, but John Wetton is probably the most prolific outside the band (he was also the lead singer for Asia and UK, just to name a couple.)

** Fripp lent his guitar services to other groups on occasions, including:

*** [[Brian Eno]] - "Baby's On Fire", "Driving Me Backwards", "Blank Frank", "St. Elmo's Fire", "I'll Come Running", "Golden Hours", "King's Lead Hat"

*** [[David Bowie]] - ''"Heroes"'' and a good chunk of ''Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)''

*** [[Blondie]] - "Fade Away And Radiate"

** Jon Anderson from [[Yes]] makes a guest appearance on the "Prince Rupert Awakes" section of the title piece from ''Lizard''.

* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: [[Emerson Lake and Palmer|Greg Lake]] and [[Foreigner|Ian MacDonald]] were part of the original lineup.
