[Tyrone Bigguns]

All great drummers....loved the Bruford/Belew/Levin/Fripp King Krimson.

It isn't some metal band....CRIMSON.

Oh....pardon me

do you think fripp woulda tolerated such a mistake? I think not...DISCIPLINE!!

Fripp was a perfectionist.

ty caught him when he toured with something like 30 other guitarists...think it was offshoot of crafty guitarists

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Was a very good drummer.

Best rock drummer ever IMHO.

Can't really disagree (argument could be made for peart), though stephen morris is my fav.

Great drummer, human metronome....and then stepped out from behind the drums and created the famous programmed drum beat in history.

Would RUSH be RUSH without the Professor on percussion ?

Would mint chocolate chip be mint chocolate chip without mint?

Since Peart was NOT the original drummer for RUSH, your sarcastic comparative is inaccurate.

Rush. Really?

Rush blows.

I saw King CRIMSON in the early 80s and bought my way in to the hall to watch warm ups.....I was just mesmerized by Fripp practicing...you talked about the drummer that was "the human metronome" well Fripp was just robotic while practicing. I have to say I have never heard another guitar sound like Fripp would produce with his synth guitar.

[Rastak]

I go all the way back to Greg Lake....

It was Palmer who was the drummer, Ras.

I saw Emerson, Lake and Palmer at the old Olympia Stadium in Detroit. Girl in front of us on the main floor was stoned out of her gourd on god-knows-what, wailed the whole time.

And then they didn't play Karn evil 9. I was too stoned to be bummed, though.

Palmer didn't play for King Crimson, Lake did.

Yep. the guys is a serious freak. I saw crimson as well. Ty actually had The Court back in 7th...around 78 or so.

Have you done any research on him..the alternative tuning? In a way he is like Zappa...i know he is really, really smart..but, sometimes it is just too smart for me and i don't really enjoy it. Think of the king in Amadeus "too many notes".

I had, years ago...the stuff he did with Andy Summers. He also was in the League of Gent with sara lee...who was the bassist in Gang of Four and later toured with the B-52s.

That is why i appreciate him..he isn't stuck in the past, playing with the same old prog rockers in "new" bands like asia, etc. He is out there with Blondie, David Byrne, Eno, and David Sylvain (japan...another hugely influential new wave/new romantic band).

His wife was a punker...talk about different gens.

Watching fripp brought back memories of my stern piano teacher making me do scales for hours on end. Precision, precision, precision.

Palmer didn't play for King Crimson, Lake did.

But I thought this thread was about drummers...or safeties.

Wait, Wasn't Carnell Lake a safety? For King Crimson?

[Rastak]

try to follow along Fritz.....

[Freak Out]

So who is/was an NFL player but was also a good drummer? Gotta be a couple out there.

[Fritz]

My subtlety is lost on you, Ras.

I connect drummers to safeties. I call up old school references, I immediately connect them to football players like Carnell Lake.

I'm a magician, I'm a writer, I show you this, you see that.

Try staying with me, Ras.
