Since their formation in 1969 and through myriad changes in personnel and musical approach: two things have remained constant: Robert Fripp, and the group\u2019s uncompromising commitment to originality. The group may or may not have played its final performance, and almost certainly has long since finished making its final studio recordings. But \u2013 as David St. Hubbins might say, its legends lives on.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been fortunate to see the group live a few times, and have interviewed quite a number of band members and alumni. Sadly, several of them are no longer with us, but the work they did stands as a testament to the lasting value of King Crimson.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24882\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/crimkopp.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/crimkopp.jpg 440w, http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/crimkopp-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here are links to my interviews with King Crimson members.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?p=6693\">Adrian Belew<\/a> (2014)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2017\/06\/23\/adrian-belew-twang-bar-king-in-a-trio-format\/\">Adrian Belew<\/a> (2017)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2022\/11\/07\/adrian-belew-and-celebrating-david-bowie\/\">Adrian Belew<\/a> (2022)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?p=618\">Adrian Belew, Pat Mastelotto, Tony Levin<\/a> interview #1<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?p=620\">Crimson Adrian Belew, Tony Levin<\/a> interview #2<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?p=444\">Trey Gunn<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2017\/09\/14\/king-crimson-iconoclastic-innovators\/\">Jakko Jakszyk<\/a> (2017)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?p=722\">Greg Lake<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?p=6552\">Tony Levin<\/a> (2014)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2022\/04\/11\/audio-a-conversation-with-tony-levin-of-stick-men\/\">Tony Levin<\/a> (2022)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2017\/11\/21\/king-crimson-dont-write-an-epitaph-just-yet-part-one\/\">Jakko Jakszyk, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto<\/a> (2017)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?p=4336\">Pat Mastelotto<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2021\/09\/20\/king-crimsons-brutal-finesse-part-one\/\">Pat Mastelotto, Mel Collins<\/a> (2021)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2018\/12\/27\/i-talk-to-the-wind-and-other-instruments-the-ian-mcdonald-interview-part-one\/\">Ian McDonald<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?p=578\">John Wetton<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to progressive music, King Crimson is the heaviest of heavyweights, the most gigantic of giants.
