Whaddya mean you’ve never really listened to King Crimson before? Ummm….dude, we’ve known each other for a while and all, and you’re my friend, so I’m just gonna tell you straight up….that ain’t right.
You gotsa check this jam out….yeah yeah, I know–it starts a little slow, but it’s pretty, in like an elvish acid trip kind of way, nawmean? And then when it shifts gears, around the four-and-a-half minute mark, into that simple jangly guitar thing, and you know it’s just gonna erupt….holy jeez….and then when it does, and it’s so fucking ILL…
O M G
The first time I heard that guitar solo, my heart almost exploded.
Crimson, man–they’re like, the best prog band ever. It’s either them or Yes.
You’ve never heard Yes?

Get the fuck out of my car.
