Fripp-Belew Disagreements Out in the Open Now

[Trane]

I don't think this was really about KC playing Belew-era songs. It was about how Adrian was dismissed from the band that he fronted for 3 decades. I know he was very hurt by that. Well done by RF to reach out to him again.

Three decades?! Uh, I think you're forgetting about the decade long break after the first three years, and then the second era was 14 years, so you're talking about Ade being in Crimson for more like 17-18 years.

I totally agree that it wasn't really about Jakko singing Indiscipline, but about venting his frustration about the way he was left out

And indeed it's more 18 than 33 years, but Ade presented it that way on the radio show with Copeland.

Adding AB to this current Crim could make things quite interesting indeed. Well, cross that one off the list. Now there is still David/Roger, Roger/Rick, Jon/Steve, Ian/Martin, Dweezil/Ahmet, Ludwig/Wolfgang, etc etc

Roger's probably close to no longer having negative feelings about Rick Wright.

Maybe he meant Roger Hodgson -><- Rick Davies

Don't forget Ray and Dave Davies, Gilmour and Waters, Daltrey and Townshend (hey, it doesn't get more contentious than the singer knocking his guitarist/songwriter flat on his ass), etc.

I think Gilmour and Waters have thawed a bit - didn't Dave turn up at a Wall show?

Pretty sure he did. And there was that time they played a gig together in 2010.

Correct, sir.

Yeah, that's right, he played Comfortably Numb at one of the shows, I believe.

Pretty sure he did. And there was that time they played a gig together in 2010.

I didn't know about the 2010 gig. Of coures, I remember the Live 8 thing, and how everyone was shocked to have Dave, Roger, Rick, and Nick performing together again. I loved Eddie Trunk's introduction during the VH-1 Classic broadcast, "I can't believe I'm actually saying this!"

Yes, I recall it distinctly. Tony Levin even talked about it from the stage, when I saw him with the Tony Levin Band. He didn't know what it really meant either, but he seemed to roll with it as another odd thing in a series of things when it comes to King Crimson, an odd band.

Levin mentioned that the time I saw him too, in 2000 when Crimson was in Europe. I remember Fripp writing something to the effect that he had no reason to want Levin out of the band, but that the four-piece lineup with Gunn as the only Stick player was effective.

Belew now back in the fold (sort of), although Fripp still being cryptic about the cause of the disagreement, mentioning B and D?

Knowing that Belew is back in the band but currently inactive makes it even harder to see the current 8-piece KC without him. But I'll see them in October anyway and will do my best to surrender to the music, or be present with it, or however RF puts it.

Really hope before I die, though, to see KC one more time with Adrian active.
