Sounds like they’ve been Fripped off, ehhehe… Can’t wait to see this! There has been lots of v cool previously unreleased stuff on Brufords YT channel lately.

Yep, really looking forward to it as well! King Crimson is one of my all-time fave bands and it feels like I know so little about them (compared to, say, Pink Floyd).

One of my influencers, so hoping to see this!
LOL, looking forward to a king crimson slasher flick.

I was fortunate to see this a while back as Toby the director is a friend of mine, and I must say what a thoroughly enjoyable film this is. I’ve been a fan since I was a teenager and didn’t disappoint at all. i was even interviewed after one of the shows but never quite made the cut, which is a relief as I just rambled on about how great they were

Bill Bruford’s book has some nice Crimson and Fripp stories. Fripp used to make Bruford’s children cry when he visited, lol, it’s pretty funny.

To me Robert Fripp is a mystic, godlike figure. For years I was reading that he played his parts at the side of the stage, maybe even behind the curtain.
That was until covid-era Robert Fripp turned up on Youtube doing crazy cover versions with his wife Toyah. 
Will have to find a copy of Bruford’s book at some point! Thanks for the recommendation, @psychetropic!

Looking forward to this one!
My dad played lots of Crimson in my childhood and youth. I remember being twelve on a car trip, listening to Discipline, when the poly meter thing suddenly clicked in my brain. Seminal music moment, haha.
15 years later I went to Copenhagen with my father to see the band. Great show! After the show we walked from the venue at Amager over to Nyhavn to grab a beer. And who was simply standing on the sidewalk outside a pub, as if waiting for us? Adrian Belew! He was up for a chat.

Waiting Man … of course
This is where i came in, never bettered (this incarnation/supergroup) … recommended viewing on late night in concert (bbc) by my art teacher at school circa 82/83 as he knew i was a guitarist … seminal moment

Haha, exactly.

I once ran into him in a small area outside the bathroom door at a bar they were playing. About 5 people suddenly crowded around him, and he reacted rather shyly, then people sensibly backed off of their own accord because it was a little weird. There’s a 1 in 4 chance that I peed at the same urinal as Adrian Belew, by the way.

I’m not very familiar with King Crimson’s history but is this yet another documentary about how 5 people can be dicks to each others while playing music, like the Eagles one?
More like two dozen dicks, of which Scarlett Johansson is not one.

Reminds me of the song Scarlett and Bible Black. One of my favourites.

Yes please! One of the best bands ever.
Nah. King Crimson is more like a musical project or a collective with one constant member, Robert Fripp. He’s been known to be a bit of a dick I guess, or has been a bit of a dick like 40 years ago, but mostly a visionary who’s had dozens of musicians join King Crimson. Sometimes for a single album, sometimes for a decade or two.

Reading this thread i suddenly remembered that i had a short chat with most members of the band during Thrak. We waited outside at the back entrance a few hours before the gig and there they were. They were in a good mood and we had some laughs. And still this reminder of that short meeting.
You do crazy things when you’re young
