- kanava totuudenetsintään ihmisestä ja maailmasta. jäikö jotain olennaista vielä sanomatta?
- Kanal för att hitta sanningen från mannen och världen. finns det någonsin att säga?
- Seeking truth from facts.

Quite an arrangement...
And who played acustic quitar on this track? I've allways beeb thinking that is Greg. See and hear the above! the same chords but still more difficult than what Bob Fripp played them.
King Crimson’s debut album, In the Court of the Crimson King, was unlike anything any rock group had released to that point. How did the band manage to forge such a unique style so quickly?
At that time, nearly all the British bands were using the blues or soul music — American music — as their influence. Since that well had been visited so many times, we decided we would try to use European music as our base influence, in order to be different. Robert [Fripp] and I — and Ian McDonald, for that matter — had all been schooled in European music. We understood it. We played Django Reinhardt, and we did Paganini violin exercises and so forth. Even though I loved American music, and had played it throughout my youth, it was very easy for me to adapt to using European music as the basis for new creations. I had studied that form of music.
You and Fripp also took guitar lessons from the same teacher. How big an impact did that have on how the two of you interacted, musically? It was crucial. Robert and I grew up together, and we used to practice our lessons together. By the time King Crimson was formed, we were like two peas in a pod — like mirrors. He knew exactly what I knew and I knew exactly what he knew. We both learned the same technique of cross-picking, and we sounded very similar in some ways. Of course, by that time I was playing bass, so people on the outside never knew the two of us had that reflective knowledge. Still, that was one very strange component of King Crimson. The other was that Ian McDonald had never been in a rock band before. He came from the military, from a military brass band. That was a bit peculiar. King Crimson was not an everyday sort of band.
