PG’s editorial director Ted Drozdowski sat down with Adrian in his home studio to talk about how these four great players came together, Adrian’s decades in Crimson, and Robert Fripp, Bowie, Zappa, Talking Heads, and more. Also, stay tuned for our exclusive Rig Rundown, coming soon!

You know what would be sick? If these guys made an album of original music. They could write it on the road at sound checks. Record it after the tour is over. 🙏🏼

@slimturnpike 4 дня назад

great idea

@Kulumuli 4 дня назад

Maybe they would. Lot's of bands make new material while touring. Why wouldn't they do it? But of course they have other obligations as they are all highly wanted musicians. Of course this tour will produce, if not new songs, ideas for new songs.

King's X was to play in the Sarasota Music festival, couldn't, Belew & Harrison filled in. After that I flew to Richmond, VA to see them again, Now Beat is playing on the 28th of Sept... lucky us.

@Mo_Ketchups 14 дней назад

What an outstanding interview. He’s the first guy I’ve heard ever address the beauty of Belew’s singing. I was an 11-year-old budding drummer when Discipline came out. The FIRST thing that grabbed me, covering my extremities in goosebumps, was HIS voice on “Matte Kudasai.” That was the beginning and end. 🙏👌

I was introduced to him on Lodger and loved everything else. Love Ted's articles for various publications over the years. Putting out positivity around art is a wonderful thing.

I once met Adrian at Syvian and Fripp’s concert in Chicago in the early mid 90s. Very pleasant and approachable guy. Moreover, he told me he was there to chat with Robert about reforming KC for the double trio. I was excited to hear that.

HANDS DOWN theeee most anticipated tour of the year for me. Only saw King Crimson once in 2003 but the Belew era holds a special place in my DNA; as that was my first exposure to KC as a 7 yr old in 1991. Thank you Thank you Thank you Mr. Belew; see you in Detroit!

Great interview with Adrian! For those that might be interested in the timeline regarding Fripp's "new standard tuning," the first time he used it with King Crimson was the VROOOM EP in 1994. The first time he used it on a record was the tune "Maquillage" on the album Bewitched with Andy Summers in 1984.

@frankperry1111 12 дней назад

When it came down the car I was driving had a cassette player. I had the King Crimson Beat album on cassette. Still have it. King Crimson's first album is a masterpiece, so they had to keep coming up with astounding albums to follow. Think of the astronomical number of bands from then and now, King Crimson easily in my top 25 all-time favorites and any of them could be number one or number 25. Beatles, Stones, Kinks, DC5, The Bee Gees, Ten Years After, Dire Straits, The Cars, Boston, Talking Heads to name a few others.

@marshallross3373 14 дней назад

LOL... Bill Bruford not a fan of life on the road, evidently. He might would have felt differently if he could have traveled in style, perhaps. But, life as a pro-musician may not be all it's cracked up to be. So cool to hear AB talking about his range of experiences and growing into his profession. Great interview.

@marshallross3373 14 дней назад

As a follow up: I wonder if Bruford would be open to performing at a residence like some acts do in Vegas, or Madison Square Garden. I don't know, of course. It may be more than an issue with the road life. He said he decided to retire when he couldn't think of anything to play that was inspiring. On the other hand, I've heard him admit that he does jam with friends on occasions these days. There are plenty of great drummers, of course, but overall Bruford's combination of skill, jazz influenced style, and all of the groundbreaking recordings he's worked on, including his time with King Crimson, puts him at the top of my list of the best.

@craigburner1296 4 дня назад

Row 4 Friday the 13th, I'm soooo excited. Adrian is a really nice guy. I opened for The Bears in Vancouver with Red Herring, and we shared a band room. It was awesome to have so much time to chat with such a great human who inspired me to my music career. Discipline really spoke to me so when I moved to Vancouver and became a soundman I was the guy for your band if you did weird stuff, or if you just wanted to sound good. But I really dug the weird stuff. So yes, those records changed my life.

Man, oh man! I am so jazzed for the Napa Beat show in a couple of weeks. Going with three friends of mine, including a guy with his own pretty cool local prog band, Blue Cinema (instrumental music, with various flavors, very imaginative), and an old friend who has been my buddy since high school in the 70’s, when we’d see lots of prog bands (he’s a ceramic artist and even a bigger KC fan than I am. I confess, I missed all of the 80’s-early 2000’s KC but he saw almost all of them. For me, this is sort of an “atonement” for missing all that awesome KC period. I checked out of KC in the late 70’s with the Wetton/Bruford/Cross era. I had no good reason for it, just short-sightedness. So glad to sort of make amends by seeing Beat).
