Toby Amies on Robert Fripp and In the Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson at 50: “It’s an interrogation into what I find around me and the circumstances in which I find myself and especially the relationships that I observe and I’m involved in.” Photo: Toby Amies
Toby Amies’s perceptive and imaginative In the Court Of The Crimson King: King Crimson At 50, captures the essence of the individual current and former members of King Crimson through candid and forthcoming on-camera interviews, sound checks, and the cost of being on the road. The director pulls the curtain back with precision to give us a distinctive look into Robert Fripp the master himself, the groups leader and disciplinarian.

At one point during In the Court of the Crimson King, a new doc about mighty prog institution King Crimson, former drummer Bill Bruford zeroes in on the core philosophy of the band and its founder, guitarist Robert Fripp. “Change is essential,” says Bruford, who now resembles a pithy, distinguished university professor. “Otherwise, you turn into the Moody Blues, for heaven’s sake.”
Starting in 1969, no one ever confused King Crimson with the far more radio-friendly Moodies. In 2019, the latest incarnation of Crimso, still fronted by Fripp, embarked on a 50th-anniversary tour,...

An upcoming documentary will provide a rare look at the inner workings of King Crimson, one of rock’s most respected but also mysterious bands.

Earlier this month, King Crimson wrapped up not only their 2021 touring cycle with a show at Orchard Hall in Tokyo, but quite possibly their 53-year history. Bandleader Robert Fripp has been hinting for months that the group wasn’t going to continue after they fulfilled all their commitments for the year, and he tweeted that the band went from “sound to silence” after the final notes of last encore “Starless” rang out through the venue.
“Tonight is the final concert of the tour,” bassist Tony Levin wrote in a blog post,...

In this second installment of our two-part deep-dive into the history and influence of King Crimson’s “21st Century Schizoid Man,” we look at how various lineups of the band have made the song their own, and how it’s inspired artists from the worlds of prog, metal, punk, hip-hop, and beyond during the past half-century.

At a lengthy press event held at London’s October Gallery in April, King Crimson leader Robert Fripp kept coming back to a few interrelated themes: how happy he was with the band’s current lineup and how — maybe for the first time in Crimson’s 50-year history — outsize egos are entirely absent.
“No one has an agenda,” he said of the seven-member group that will play more than 50 shows this year starting June 10th. “Alternatively expressed, there are no prima donnas in this band.”

It's a Black Flag Christmas as Captain Kirk trades in his starship for a sleigh.
Christmas is coming and, like the Grinch in the Dr. Seuss Classic, William Shatner is a transformed man. The former Denny Crain is putting out his first-ever Christmas album, called Shatner Claus - The Christmas Album on Oct. 26. And he's assembled enough of a varied lineup of guests they could star in the "Journey to Babel" episode of the original Star Trek. Jethro Tull flautist and singer Ian Anderson, protopunk Iggy Pop, folk songstress Judy Collins, prog pianist Rick Wakeman, utopian pop master Todd Rundgren, country star Brad Paisley mix up the styles for the actor who once sold Priceline.
The man who shouted "Mr. Tambourine Man" with the same gusto he screamed "Khan," put out the track list of the album on Thursday, and followed it up with a chestnut he...

As Mark Knopfler proved this year by not even showing up when his band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Dire Straits are never, ever getting back together.

The group will be joined by Heartbreakers drummer Steve Ferrone and the Buggles’ Trevor Horn on bass along with Marco...
