Basically King Crimson is a bit make some noise if you know do you know King Crimson flying dog in the back?
Okay, cool.
Yeah, they're a band that's been around for a lot of decades.
They've been through a lot of
incarnations and formations
but we're a big fan of the 80s lineup and they put out an album called discipline in 1980 or 81 _ and
Basically, you know as kids growing up listening to Primus and tool and all that stuff when we heard discipline
It was kind of like oh, okay.
Got it.
It kind of came from that so
It's a lot of odd time it's really difficult
I'm gonna play the part of a 12 string Chapman stick on my five string fretless
I shouldn't have even told you because you would have thought I was just doing a good job
But it's much more difficult
But anyway, and I got a shout out McG to for joining us on this one because he's gonna sing the part of mr
Adrian Baloo, so this is a song we've never played before but it's been one of our favorite songs for like 20 years
So this is a song called elephant talk by King Crimson
