King Crimson

A tribute to prog and rock pioneers

About Me

King Crimson has influenced many bands, such as TOOL, The Mars Volta, and Nine Inch Nails. They even played a tour with TOOL a few years back. Their most signature hits are "21st Century Schizoid Man," "Red," "Thela Hun Ginjeet," List goes on...
Adrian Belew has played with Frank Zappa, Talking Heads, and David Bowie. Robert Fripp has always been a member of the band and has played with David Bowie and Brian Eno. Bill Bruford has played with Yes, Earthworks, and UK.
King Crimson is known as possibly the most influential progressive rock band of all time.
Also, I have been getting many people commenting and mailing me saying how much they love my band and how great and innovative we are and such. I would just like to clear up that I do agree KC is endlessly innovative and amazing, but this is a tribute page. Kind comments are more than welcome, but I don't want anyone to think that this is Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, or anyone else in KC running this page, it is simply a page put together for all hardcore KC fans to enjoy, people to discover them, and add profile songs and such. I will do the best I can to provide for the heavy King Crimson fans for I am one myself. I will try to post tour dates soon as well.
In the meantime, please enjoy these great live clips that I know you will enjoy.
