I heard King Crimson on progressive radio in 1969 and fell in love with them. I ran out next day and bought their first LP. I still have it, the original Atlantic recording. It means a lot to me.
Its upsetting how underrated you are. You have such articulate ways of explaining music and its meaning and its astounding how your vids don't have more views. Keep it up brotha!!!
I mean he can't even read the quotes or song titles correctly so 🤷♂️🤷♂️ how you gonna show us all the text you're reading in every video and still read it wrong? Is he even editing his script or proof-viewing his videos? I'm not trying to be a dick but these videos seriously lack refinement and concise presentation of information. If you can't even read the song titles right I don't need your opinion on them. He read like 5 song titles wrong in the caretaker video and didn't edit it out while showing the correct song title on the screen. He obviously misreads a quote from a band member in this video saying "the king crimson" instead of "the crimson king." Little stuff like that is a real turn off in informative and analytical content like this.
@@voodoosleeper i get it, you’re trying to be honest and i appreciate that and there’s not a lot of honest people in this world anymore but, just be nice. you’re talking about not trying to be a dick but you sound like a dick. you’re criticizing Jake like you can do better or something.
@@hihowrya370 I mean I can read a script so yeah I can and do do better. Reading a script is not difficult, re-recording a take when you make a mistake is not difficult, editing mistakes out is not difficult and and checking that your recordings match your script is not difficult. I'm sorry that doesn't seem "nice" to you. I don't really care. The mistakes this CZcamsr makes are consistent across all his videos. If you can't even read a script then you need to either do better or stop trying to create informative content. And people acting like this sort of messy poorly-made content is underrated, well, maybe if the content was well executed and properly presented it would be popular. Maybe in a few years this CZcamsr will be awesome at making videos but he's clearly still learning. But if everyone just coddles him and says what he's already doing is awesome they're doing him a disservice. Because it's not awesome. How are you going to consistently misread text you're also displaying in the video across almost every video you create? It's quite glaring when the narrator misreads text you're currently reading along to. And he leaves these mistakes in every video. Again, I can do better and I do do better. I'm a scriptwriter and video editor on three different channels. I've also done voice over work and when you misread the script you do another take. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I discovered King Crimson because of JoJo, like many others *God dammit I can't stop listening to 21st Century Schizoid Man* Edit: Starless is pretty good too so thanks for the recommendation there
King Crimson are so incredibly important and influential. Imagine what that artist could have done and possibly what other album covers he could have made for King Crimson. Like damn, imagine "Red" with an iconic cover like their debut
I’m jealous of kids these days, they have so much good music from past decades to dive into! Imagine being 12-16 now and discovering all 60s and onwards decades of music ! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Right? This is exactly why i hate the "i was born in the wrong generation" shit. The later you're born the more music you have access to, along with EVERYTHING that came before it. And with the internet you have access to groups of people that appreciate literally anything you can think of, so saying theres noone you can relate to that likes older stuff, doesn't make sense either lol for all the flaws with modern society/technology, the pros are unbelievable
punchy donut for sure the smart cookies know we are living in the information revolution! Heck even I’m discovering so much stuff from the past. Man it’s glorious fun! Admittedly I still feel older music is better. It seemed to take a dive after Brit pop era after 90s. Brit pop is the last truly exciting era I remember. 🤯🤯🤯
I originally found you from the Everywhere At The End of Time video and holy shit this video is gold, it made me hear this album for the first time! You earned a sub
All jokes aside, thank you Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure for introducing me to this amazing band... you thought I wouldn’t make a Jojo reference, BUT IT IS I, DIO !
Fripp actually was one of the first people to put his music out digitally. It's really fascinating to see how he pioneered that kind of stuff. Way ahead of the curve. I can understand him being protective of his digital music, since he has a successful thing going for awhile, and a lot artists now are getting destroyed by the cut they get via streaming. Also check out MacDonald and Giles underrated self-titled killer album from the 70s. Trippy album art too.
My dad always loved prog rock and good music in general, I'm Italian but I'm very lucky to have him, he got me into them and also many others fantastic bands that I never would've known without him and his knowledge and I do have a vinyl disc of the Court of the Crimson King (but I doubt it's rare and also we played the shit out of it so I don't think it's worth and even if it was I wouldn't be able to give it away), funny enough "young" people know King Crimson because of the fact that it's a JoJo reference, but what about people like me that got into JoJo because of King Crimson? :P Anyway, amazing video!
Funnily enough the music reference in jojo kept me reading from part 1-3 (I don't really like those three parts). This is when before the PB anime and the fandom wasn't a meme fandom like post anime jojo, the music reference was a big part keeping me hooked reading jojo.
My favorite band. Hitchhiked from Ukraine to Berlin last year to see their 50th-anniversary concert. What an amazing experience it was, like hearing them for the first time.
I’ve liked this kind of music my whole life because I grew up with it. I see a lot of comments saying they came from Jojo and I’m so glad, I love the references in what little I’ve seen in that show.
I just can't believe that such video with such subtlety only gets 6.6k views yet. You are doing it good Jake, I will care about you talking on your videos too.
You have a real knack for these video essays. This was a lot of fun to listen to, and very informative. Never listened to king crimson before, but I'll have to check them out now.
Never stop doing what you love! Been yearning for some informative yet entertaining content and stunned I came across your Caretaker video & channel. What you’re doing really is great so thankyou!!
Dude, because of your Caretaker video I have an absolute hyperfixation with those albums and I’m planning on buying all 6 stages on vinyl. I bought stage 4 and 6 today
another amazing fact about that album cover that stood it apart from other albums: nowhere on the cover is the band's name mentioned. Crimson was virtually unknown, they release their first album....and they didn't even put their name on the cover. (well, the front of the cover, at any rate) that shows how strong that album art was/is; that it would grab record store customers attention by the art alone.
I have an original Canadian pressed ,Court the Crimson King album with the cool rough textured cover and its amazing sound quality. I acquired it at age 10 in 1974 from my uncle who purchased it new in 1969. Still sounds awesome to this day.
Bro even though I dont want more people to find these songs (esp from my playlist, like this one in the video and the caretaker's) I just cant help but feel that more people need to know about this side of the internet in general
CZcams recommended another awesome vid! I'm 36, and I cut my teeth on KC starting back in 2001. They are SO much more important than they ever get credit for, and I'm glad to see them getting love from new generations. For anyone interested, In the Wake of Poseidon and Lizard(Prince Rupert Awakes) are other legendary works worth checking out from them. Cheers everyone!
When I was 23, I had health issues. I work in IT. I'm a huge fan of King Crimson. Epitaph is one of my favorite songs by any band. Which is why I got that painting tattooed on me. Just fit where I was at at the time.
i own one of the original pressings from 1969, its warped beyond belief and there is a huge scratch through the last 8 minutes of moonchild but out of my 35 album, $1500+ collection, its my absolute favorite record, and my dad bought it FOR FUCKING $5. he went into our local record store looking specifically for that album since he knew how much i liked it and all the guy offered him was the sleeve since the vinyl itself was super fucked up but surprisingly when he dropped the needle it played perfectly other than the aforementioned moonchild section. i literally cried when i opened it up, its the coolest thing that ive ever owned in my entire life. an album that was written, recorded, and pressed onto vinyl 33 years before i was ever even born is sitting in the crate right next to albums that were released less than a year ago. i wouldnt part with that album for a million dollars. i owe robert fripp so much for finally putting the catalog onto spotify, this album is legitimately on par with the wall in my opinion. thank you robert fripp and friends for creating this masterpiece, and bringing me so much happiness over 50 years later.
Wait so Jojo part 5 anime came out when King Crimson reached its 50th Anniversary and also gave us Jojo fans to listen to its brilliant music since it wasn't available before 2019. That's one hell of a timing
Bro, I just randomly stumbled upon this video after listening to Everywhere at the End of Time for like 2 hours, and you're background music and visuals are not doing me any favors when it comes to shaking this intractable dread hanging over me. So thanks for that. By the way, sick video. Love this album. Definitely listened to it because of the album art the first time. Keep on doing this jam. It really works.
I gotta thank you for this video. It introduced me to one of my favourite new bands. Moonchild, court of the crimson king, I talk to the wind. All wonderful.
if you want to technical the band was a successor to Giles, Giles & Fripp with some of the songs already written (I Talk to the Wind was first recorded in July 1968), and the band's first incarnation was in late November 1968.
this guy literally just sounds like me talking to my friends i love it. switching from praising KC to nonchalantly swearing and making jokes, i love this. it feels so therapeutic somehow
Fripp is internationally known for both his brilliance as a guitarist and for his controlling nature; so it's no surprise he had the painting pulled from the offices and stored privately. Oh, and another album cover you should do is Roger Dean's Yes-Tales Of Topographic Oceans cover. Lots of gold to mine there.
Holy shit the once a month good youtube recommendation is here also this was a great video, had a few laughs watching it, cant wait to see more videos like these!
I just watched your video on Everywhere at the End of Time (you sure haven't gotten that story before) because I knew the album and was curious, whether other people felt the same way about it as I did when I first encountered it (which you did). And now I've watched this video too, even though I didn't know about King Crimson beforehand. Well I guess you've earned yourself a new subscriber. I really like the style of your video and also how you narrate them!
With the Mellotrons, Greg Lake's vocals, Robert Fripp's sinewy guitar, and Michael Giles' drum chops this is a scorching prog standard. Still have my vinyl since the 80's.
You should listen to more of their albums if you like In the Court so much. So many people don't even consider it their best, and it's always a shame when someone stops right at the beginning of such an interesting and exploratory band.
This is a test...I've accepted this test to stand victorious against my past. A person grows once they are able to defeat their weaker self. Wouldn't you agree, Jean Pierre Polnareff?
As a fan of King Crimson and everything prog rock, I can tell you that you are just scratching the surface of what the genre offers. You want trippy, awesome album covers and complex music? That's the genre to go to 🙂
68...I think. Nice vid. Back when I was in high school (about 88), I was working at a shop and had access to transfer paper, inks and a heat press, so I VERY laboriously copied and colored transfer paper and made a janky t shirt with "schitzoid" )album cover) on it. I was probably more taken, by the rear of the dust jacket with the sage (also featured in Wake of Poseidon if I remember correctly) and that hand sign he is showing. I have tried to ascertain over the years what that sign represents, to no avail.
wow, now I know what king crimson's ability is based on. The band skipped the other steps and went straight to performing like king crimson's standability, skipping the cause and keeping the effect.
I'm more partial to the Belew/Levin/Bruford/Fripp lineup, because they were still making albums when I was an adult :-) Find the 'Live in Frejus' video on youtube.
I’ve liked the song the court of the crimson king for most my life for whatever reason, I was very fascinated to learn the history of the band and album, will definitely check out the rest of the album now.
You know, as many teenage JoJo fans there are, we should be thankful for that show because without them, they wouldn't know this music :) it's a good thing!

You should listen to more of their albums if you like In the Court so much. So many people don't even consider it their best, and it's always a shame when someone stops right at the beginning of such an interesting and exploratory band.
Jake explaining how King Crimson works while I'm here trying to figure out what the heck the background is doing
Your videos are so incredible, subscribed! Can’t wait for what you might make next
Thank you Nathan
I just discovered your channel and already think you're underrated, sir.
This is a test...I've accepted this test to stand victorious against my past. A person grows once they are able to defeat their weaker self. Wouldn't you agree, Jean Pierre Polnareff?
As a fan of King Crimson and everything prog rock, I can tell you that you are just scratching the surface of what the genre offers. You want trippy, awesome album covers and complex music? That's the genre to go to 🙂
i actually have this album downloaded on spotify all thanks to jojos unusual crusade
Hey man I love your style ! Can't wait to see more videos of yours
Also, check out Fripp and Toyah's lockdown videos, real bat shit crazy, I love it
68...I think. Nice vid. Back when I was in high school (about 88), I was working at a shop and had access to transfer paper, inks and a heat press, so I VERY laboriously copied and colored transfer paper and made a janky t shirt with "schitzoid" )album cover) on it. I was probably more taken, by the rear of the dust jacket with the sage (also featured in Wake of Poseidon if I remember correctly) and that hand sign he is showing. I have tried to ascertain over the years what that sign represents, to no avail.
Guys! He figured out how king crimson works
Shut up
That is sad, but now it's popular.
wow, now I know what king crimson's ability is based on. The band skipped the other steps and went straight to performing like king crimson's standability, skipping the cause and keeping the effect.
1:27 yes that is indeed king crimsons ability
You should definitely check out the other albums as well if you haven't. They're genius, and have some of my favorite musicians such as Adrian Belew.
Caretaker video brought me to the King. Thank you Mr. Snake Buckets
underrated chart: -200000
Awesome album! A Masterpiece! 👍👍🤘🤘👏👌
Man I'm always unnerved looking at that album cover since I was a kid. Like damn
I'm more partial to the Belew/Levin/Bruford/Fripp lineup, because they were still making albums when I was an adult :-) Find the 'Live in Frejus' video on youtube.
I love king crimson. I have a vinyl of The Court of The Crimson King!
I came after everywhere at the end of time, and I saw that there was a JoJo ref
I’ve liked the song the court of the crimson king for most my life for whatever reason, I was very fascinated to learn the history of the band and album, will definitely check out the rest of the album now.
RED SCREAMY MAN
Yes saw King Crimson playing....made them improve themselves, and Bill Bruford left for KC.
Talent, but the words are dark, I always go back to YES.
king crimson is one of the best bands in my opinion
You know, as many teenage JoJo fans there are, we should be thankful for that show because without them, they wouldn't know this music :) it's a good thing!
