the masked drummer Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'm sure this has been posted before, but Ozzy covered King Crimson on his latest album. Neil Peart has often mentioned Michael Giles as one of his influences, so I thought it was worth mentioning here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandalorian Hunter Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yeah, if i remember, they left all the tricky bits out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the masked drummer Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yeah, THey left all the tough parts out like you said. I personally like the 1973-74 era and 1981-84 era myself. I've got the 4-disc live 73/74 shows and it's pretty cool stuff. They do cool versions of Schizoid Man... Hey, that's a cool avatar btw! Nice!

geddy alex peart Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 What people may not know is Greg Lake from ELP laid down the vocals for that song. Ozzy is not even close to Greg Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Rosso Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 yeah Lake, is an awesome rock bassist. He does a lot of fast runs, but you can't hear to well because he uses a Precision. You can't articulate that well on a P Bass. Maybe if he used a rick or Jazz like Geddy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow-Owl Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Seems ol' Ozz gets more and more into Prog first he did "Shock the Monkey" by Peter Gabriel and now that weird KC track Well...without the distortion Mr. Lake would have a problem with sounding THAT hard, he's mostly more melodic. And ol' Ozzy as a metal head surely knows how to sound "wild" Anyone has a soundfile-link? Same about that Gabriel-Track... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plodder Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 My Greg Lake alarm went off. ELP used to use Confusion in their set. Works fantastic with Battlefield in Tarkus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Peart has often mentioned Michael Giles as one of his influences, so I thought it was worth mentioning here... Haha, sounds funny... Ozzy covering Crimso. I hope I have a chance to listen to it someday. That particular song doesn't require any great vocal effort, so I should think Ozzy managed to cope... Nice to know that Michael Giles was an inspiration for Peart. He definitely should have stayed longer in KC. The only better Crimso drummer is Bill Bruford, in my opinion. And I just love King Crimson (particularly their 70's work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permanent Wave Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I love the song "One More Red Nightmare" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the masked drummer Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 one more red nightmare is indeed a great tune. May fav off Red album. They were just a 3 pc at that point, i think. Jamie Muir and David Cross had already bailed... betcha Rush listened to that album, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qball Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 'Red' is their best album, in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! I didn't hear the cover but if you say so much is left I don't think it's worth listening to at all. I guess Entombed made a better cover of the track!

rushgoober Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 for those that don't have it - get LIZARD - best KC album IMHO and one of the best albums by anyone ever IMHO as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I partially share your opinion of Lizard. It's a very good piece of work! Personally, though, I value "Red" the most! Great album. Each track has enormous energy and some expression! And 'Starless', preceded by an amazing introduction in the shape of 'Providence' is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Lizard, great to hear Jon Anderson on "Prince Rupert Awakes", but their whole back catalogue is amazing. Lark/Starless/Red - incredible body of music Discipline/Heartbeat/Three - ditto The 90's/00's albums are all excellent. And USA and Absent Lovers are two of the best live albums you're ever likely to hear. Have any of you listened to any of the ProjeKts, where Fripp split the band into various fractals? Heavy going in places, but always interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frouse Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Of the later KC albums, Thrak appeals to me the most! As for Fripp's fractals of KC, I like ProjeKCt 2 best! The rest is also quite interesting, but for me, there is too much elecronic experimenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
