>Mogs every other prog epicNothing personal kid
>>123604349they should have released Tarkus as a Single, the rest of the album is mediocre, ELP, Trilogy & Brain Salad Surgery are all superior.
>>123604349Yeah i love Jeremy Bender too anon!
>>123604409Yeah, unfortunate that arguably their best song is on such a front-loaded album. >>123604426Unironically this
>>123604349i think birdman is better. even though the original 1969 king crimson never played a full 20 minute prog epic (trees doesn't count) i feel like birdman, tarkus, and lizard all inherited a different piece of the band's essence. it's like if you were to duct tape those 3 songs together again you would have something sounding like itcotck

FULL SET FROM OPENING NIGHT OF THE BEAT TOUR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEv47eU-YEYTHEY DID MODEL MAN! :D
>>123604544no
>>123604557no Fripp = no King Crimson = don't care
>>123604557wow way to spoil it bro
is it really Model Man without our beloved Robert Fripp on guitar?
>>123604557its not the fact they're missing frippits the fact that they are 100 years old.I love belew but he is not sounding good these days.
>>123604722he's only 74
>>123604773>he's only 74Yeah nigga thats old as hell!!!!
>>123604792it's pretty young, what the fuck are you talking about? he has another 5 years to go at least.
So happy I got to see KC during their final tour, it was super cool seeing Fripp, Tony and Mel all jamming out. They sounded great
>>123604808fucker you asshole i fuck you mothewr
what are the definitive CD releases of the 80s King Crimson albums? i have the originals and they are way to bright. are the 40ths preferred over the 30ths?
>>123604804No he doesn't. Listen to him anon. He cannot sing nearly as well as he could even in the 90s. Rockstars cannot just perform forever.
>>123604574This your first king crimson spinoff rodeo?
>>123603998>>123605118

>>123604808Same. One of the last good memories I have with my bitch ex-wife
>>123605812prog before hoes
Peter Gabriel sounded like a black man compared to Jon Anderson who sounded like a gay robot from outer space.Tales and Lamb however are the very peak of the 33 1/3 vinyl record era White Anglo Knower rock stylings. everything after goes backwards like punk or worse, redundant pop ballads and synthesized pastiche.

>Univers Zero>Henry Cow why do they mog all of the reddit prog bands so hard?
>>123606134did he groon on her tight scrummy?
>Watcher of the Pies
>>123604722he's good for someone who's basically 75yo, just kinda stretchy for his high notes but then who wouldn't struggle to sing that high at that age?by that point Mccartney had lost his voice for 20 years, Roger Waters' vocal was basically done by 80s. sure you can name out singers who can still sing well into their 70s but big chance is they either 1) don't have many challenging singing on their songs to begin with 2) Jon Anderson
>>123607285i love that song
>>123606363Yeah, Sebastien has put on some weight over the years. It happens when you get older.The Musical Box is still great.
Just listened to pic rel. What did I think of it?

>>123607887no they need to give it up and pass the whole thing onto younger guys. like 10 years ago. it is getting silly up there on stage like a SCTV skit.
>>123610692Played by the English or sung in English?The only English Zeuhl band I can think of is Ga'an in America.
>>123611096are you homosexual? not judging
>>123611168>Played by the English or sung in English?Preferably sung in English, but funnily enough, I also think the charm of Zeuhl is not understanding the language; it sort of becomes an instrument itself. I'm just curious what English Zeuhl vocals would sound like. I've been listening to Universal Totem Orchestra and the non-Kobaïan Italian vocals are quite good. I have listened to Höyry-Kone, and most of the material is sung in Finnish, not Kobaïan.
>>123610392>groovy jam over a demon belching
So do we fuck with ELO here or is that too poppy?
>>123611739Correction: Universal Totem Orchestra's lyrics are sung in Italo-Kobaïan, so maybe what I'm looking for is something Anglo-Kobaïan.
>>123611769This is a /TIME/ board
>>123611769Depends. Their early catalog is quite proggy. Everything after Face the Music is kind of meh, with Time as the only exception.
>>123604557>totally forgot this tour was startingfuck, I should see if my dad got tickets for one of the Florida shows
>>123611793Yup.
>>123611793>>123611769Didn't play anything off Time but go see Lynne if he's in your city it's literally your last chance
>>123612112>not in my state I saw them back in 2019 but was seated next to two faggot boomers that clapped out of time to the music the entire show and just kinda pissed me off
>>123612180That should be grounds for expulsion
>>123611793RIP Richard Tandy...
>>123612225I swear when I saw King Crimson in 2021 I was going to kill the bitch behind me. During the improv section of 21CSM Gavin Harrison was going hard on the drum solo with some real quiet bits and this stupid cunt just kept shouting "WOOOOO!" at the top of her lungs while everyone else was silent. Also funny how many people my age/younger I saw there with JJBA shirts.
Why does every Fish era Marillion studio album cover feature bare feet?
>>123612384they were not far from steven wilson, must be something in the water
>>123612272It’s weird watching old talk shows where the audience is polite and reacts at the appropriate times. Nowadays you got retards shouting WOOOOOO! after every other line.

what happens to the "people" Robert Fripp disposes of?
>>123614084they cofound shitty arena rock bands
Robert Fripp has awoken me from my deep slumber.Robert Fripp is the sole reason as to why humanity should persevere.Robert Fripp is the reason good exists.Robert Fripp was the one who invented progressive rock.Robert Fripp channeled drama into music.Robert Fripp is the reason men should not be castrated.Robert Fripp was the one that showed us the light.Robert Fripp influenced modern theatre and films.Robert Fripp is the most powerful and majestic musician.Robert Fripp created toilets.Robert Fripp made /prog/ insane.Fripp.F.
what do you guys think the best 60s King Crimson album is?
>>123614142based, i will believe all of these as facts, even the ones i know aren't true.
>>123613750Done dirty by electricity
>>123612272I saw Roger Waters last time he was in Toronto, and for non-Canadian Anons who don't know, on that day one of our 3 major ISPs completely fucking died, so a ton of people couldn't use their phones, internet or debit cards. As a result, there were a fair amount of empty seats, since some people couldn't get to/into the venue, and I and others were able to move to much better seats than we paid for. Anyway, this couple sits down next to me, and they are super into the show, singing along to all the songs. Waters starts playing In The Flesh, and this couple belts out 'AND THAT ONE LOOKS JEWISH, AND THAT ONES A COOOON", and this older white woman sitting in front of them fucking whips her head back, and maybe a minute later got up and moved to another seat.>>123612272KC was one of the worst shows I've been too purely because of the audience. Getting up and walking around constantly, cheering and applauding during quiet parts of songs, it's like they hadn't ever heard the band before.
>>123614153arguably this>>123613865the moody blues should have fucking killed him

>>123614276Wait what? I almost asked as a joke how much of an asshole Moraz was to be kicked out so much, anything there?
>>123614959every moody blues album with moraz kinda sucked ass... his presence made no significant difference. They phased him out and he found himself destitute with no prospects. He sued the moody blues for royalties and official recognition of membership, and he won. I recognize the great work he did on relayer but seriously he never did a single special or memorable thing on any of the moodies albums and he should be killed
>>123614349Pretty neat.

>>123616120Very nice.
>>123616120Listen to Godbluff next
>>123616156thanks>>123616158i have already listened to all of their albums, i'm just relistening
>>123616120Ah yes, Van der Graaf Generator, and in particular, the breathtakingly intricate tapestry woven by Robert Fripp’s guitar work on "The Emperor in His War Room." Here, Fripp transcends traditional rock guitar, wielding his instrument as a conduit for existential reflection and emotional turmoil. His ethereal lines dance over Peter Hammill’s poignant lyrics, with each fluid phrase undulating with both aggression and vulnerability. The use of dissonance and dynamics creates an almost cinematic feel, as Fripp expertly builds tension that complements the song's narrative arc. His piercing, serrated riffs evoke a sense of impending doom, while haunting, echo-laden melodies float like phantoms through the mix, instilling a haunting quality that mirrors the lyrical themes of power and madness. Fripp employs a range of techniques, artful bends, delicate arpeggios, and rough, jagged chords, all contributing to an atmosphere thick with unease and introspection. The juxtaposition of sharp, staccato bursts against languid, melodic passages crafts a narrative of conflict and alienation, allowing the guitar to act as a vital character in this auditory drama. Fripp’s deft manipulation of tone and texture elevates the listening experience into a multilayered exploration of the psyche, with eerie yet compelling solos that echo the inner turmoil of the Emperor himself. This transformation of the guitar into a voice that articulates the unspeakable turmoil of the human condition cements "The Emperor in His War Room" as a profound testament to Fripp’s unparalleled virtuosity and the enigmatic essence of Van der Graaf Generator's oeuvre.

https://youtu.be/1H9gyYtrtNs?si=Yeea7cI7te9H9j4UHere it is. The moment. The peak. The finale. The epitome. Your chariot has arrived at the point of no return, you are now forever scarred, you are cursed with this theophany. Your body no longer responds to your command, for Fripp has taken control. Only "He" decides what is right and wrong, he is the judge, jury, adjudicator and executioner. No amount of pussies you fuck, no amount of drugs you indulge yourself in, will make you forget this Dionysian delirium. You have been castrated, both physically and spiritually. How do "we" the victims of a brutish rape comfort ourselves? How do we release ourselves from these chains? Fripp has squeezed himself inside you. You have no name or identity, you had abandoned these trivialities once your ears graced those guitars and imploding sound waves. Fripp. That is all. That is everything.

VDGGbros, why are pic related and The Quiet Zone so deprecated by fans?I avoided them for a while, thinking they weren't worth it, but they're incrediblenot as solid as previous VDGG's works, but full of great music, and very close to Hammill's solo career
>>123624982I watch saw an interview with Soft Machine from around the time Third comes out, and every time Wyatt is talking Ratledge is just fucking staring at him like he's from another planet or something, no idea what that dude's problem was
>>123625009i love The Quiet Zone, i prefer their first six albums to any of their later stuff, but those two albums are great, how do you feel about their later stuff?
>>123625076I know just the interview you're talking about, and yeah, Ratledge acts like a total douche towards him for no reasonI guess that has to do with their different views on music and personalitiesRatledge was a terrific musician, but comes off as a pedantic beatnik, while Wyatt was an easygoing extrovert, who enjoyed making strange music, but also had some pop sensibilitiesThis video is just painstaking to watch. Wyatt comes to the guys with some ideas on the song they're trying to record, and they just blatantly ignore himhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyR3qpt9U6E&t=26s&ab_channel=StinkfootI'll take Wyatt's side everytime, though. Not only he seemed like a down to earth guy, his influence on the Soft Machine sound was clear from the startwhich is why his work with Matching Mole and his solo career are far more impressive than anything Ratledge ammounted to after forcing him out of the band
>>123625117what later stuff, exactly? The Quiet Zone was the last of their albums I've listened to, but I've quickly grown very fond of itstill, my favorites are Godbluff and Still LifePawn Hearts is, of course, a masterpiece, but those two have the dissonant rage and tremendous riffs that made me fall in love with VDGG in the first placeWorld Record is not as solid, but it's full of those great ideas. I wish they'd taken a little more work with it in the studio to polish it further before putting it outthe whole Meurglys III guitar solo feels disjointed
>>123625131i thought wyatt was out already by the 4th album, was he kicked during the sessions?
>>123625165i meant anything after the The Quiet Zone, but i guess you haven't got around to listening to them? i really haven't either, i also really like Peter Hammill's solo albums like Silent Corner and Chameleon, i also really like The Aerosol Grey Machine even though it seems mostly ignored by fans.
>>123625212he was kicked out after Fourth, but by that time his ideas were constantly being shut down by Ratledgehis masterpiece, Moon in June, couldn't even take a lot of time in their live performances, as Ratledge thought it wasn't good enoughtheir relationship was clearly very tense from the get go>Yeah well I thought in a way, with the band in the ‘60s, that it was being taken in a direction more and more that was competing with the current state of American jazz-rock. And I couldn’t or didn’t want to do that. There was this feeling that because I couldn’t read music, I remember the organist [Mike Ratledge] once said to me, ‘Why don’t you learn to read music?’ And I answered, ‘So that you can’t tell me what to play.’ I think that was probably the nail in my coffin as far as that band was concerned.https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/robert-wyatt-interviewed-i-m-not-a-born-rebel-49/
>>123625249dammit i want to like ratledge (looked for a clip of the black and white footage of him soloing in Boot if at all but i didn't find it standalone, it's in some prog documentary i watched a while back and i don't know which), but...
what does /prog/ think of The Alan Parsons Project? Basic bitch baby's first prog or kino hidden in plain sight?
>>123625401Pink Floyd spin-off that generated a sports tv track
>>123625401my old buddy used to call them Alan Parsnips and only put it on when a woman was over and he had intentions of boinking her
>>123625232nice, his solo stuff is outstandingRed Shift is my favorite song of his
>>123625401they suck mad fucking cock
progressive rock is a kind of metal.
>>123625345yeah, he's a total dick, always has beenand not just to Wyatt, check out his interviews, and you'll see how much of a smug prick he wasstill, an amazing musicianhttps://www.disco-robertwyatt.com/images/Robert/interviews/Oz_1969/index.htm
>>123625672
>>123625693yes hreev yes there is even more new of this and when we say that there is even more new of that and even progressive rock takes of tarkus that does not make sense to Them that there would ever be progressive rock takes of tarkus■
>>123617584>are a becoming a menace
>>123625709based schizo
>>123625693I love playing the flute bros, it fits literally in ANY music.
Up rubbing my tarkussy
Gentle Giant > Yes
>>123626013Yes and I consider Yes the worst of the big prog bands
>>123626013skillwise, maybeGG could do more interesting and intrincate compositionsYes hits harder, though
>>123626013Yes just really makes me feel good/better than most of the other big prog rock bands even though I freely admit they're probably the least interesting.It's just extremely uplifting music.also sound chaser is their best song
Floyd is the best Prog band.No prog band has a run like Dsotm to Wall.Simple as.
>>123626129>No prog band has a run like Dsotm to Wall.A run as bad? I agree
>>123626013Of course.>>123626050That would be Genesis.
I think it's pretty good
>>123626013GG devolved into wanky sporkcore after the 4th album
>>123626210>GenesisThey at least had conststency for a bunch of years with solid material. Yes did the initial album trilogy ending with close to the edge, then hit or miss. (yes im simplifying a little)
>>123626129Jethro Tull has a solid run during the 70s, with arguably higher heightsYes has only made 9/10s and up from the Yes Album to Going for the OneGenesis absolutely mogs PF in that discussion as wellVDGG and GG have nearly immaculate discographiesface it, as good as Pink Floyd was, it came short to the greatest acts of prog>>123626237great albumBaker Street Muse is an underrated epic
>>123626284>Yes has only made 9/10s and up from the Yes Album to Going for the OneI had a phase of thinking topogrephic oceans was the best rock album, now thats long gone, I dont think its a good album, tracks keep going too long till it becomes tidious
Why does Topographic Oceans feel so tedious to listen to while Third is a delight to listen to?They're both albums that consist of 4 20 minute long tracks
>>123626542I love Tales, but agree that it could have been cut shortmaybe make it a single album of 4 10min songs, or blend a couple of them together, idk
What do y'all think about this LTIA Part II cover by a random Japanese band?https://youtu.be/9p-lIgt4E2U
>>123626483>tidiouswell that's how it goes with oceans
>>123610494man i want that so bad
>>123615373I kneel
>>123625672other way around>>123626013overall correct but GG doesn't have an album as good as CttE
>>123610494I'd fuck that tarkus
Bob Dylan is prog
Is there any (preferably good) jazz rock fusion that uses mellotron? I don't know why but that instrument is extremely rare in jazz or jazz-adjacent music.
