Vernon Barnes Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Any of the unfortunates that have heard any of my guide vocals may think the comment was made about me but the person referred to was the illustrious Robert Fripp. https://www.dgmlive.com/tour-dates/2477 In the notes on this collection of takes from the studio sessions for King Crimson's Lizard Pablo Cordero writes. PRINCE RUPERT AWAKES This session starts with a blast: the very first thing we hear is Robert Fripp singing the opening lines of this song! And his delivery is so powerful and melodious, one can only wonder why he didn't just go on to become King Crimson's lead singer after Greg Lake's departure. (Just kidding. He sounds like a goat with emphysema.) We then go in earnest into what is in effect a fascinating alternate mix of this track. It starts with Jon Anderson singing the first verse only accompanied by the drum beat, You will not hear Fripp unless you purchase the downloads, the 30 second preview focuses on Jon Anderson but Fripp actually sounds worse than me, but unlike my guides it has not been extensively corrected with Melodyne, I find these King Crimson sessions very interesting. You are not going to play them in place of the final mixes but they reveal a lot about the creative process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane_B. Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I thought this was going to be another Stevie Nicks thread. Come to think of it, I don't ever recall hearing him sing. But I never paid close enough attention to them to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
