He looks like he just crawled out of a dumpster. Someone needs to dial 911 Rock-Star Fashion Police. "911 Rock-Star Fashion Police, What is Your Emergency?" "DANNY CAREY!!!! Send all units, NOW!!!!"

…after taking three bong rips.

🤣🤣🤣. Looks like he just came back from the skatepark with his kid. LOL

Yep, there’s no doubt which instrument he plays.

heaven ❤

Amazing

Splendid combination yes!

This is a dream for me. I'm 33 now and discovering beat,three of a perfect pair and is it Thrack (vroom,walking on air,dinosaur) any way at 17 year old finding this music changed my life ❤.

It's like prog fantasy football

...and it's equally kuul that The Band didn't bring up the fact that Rick has quite vocally "sanctioned" Crimson in the past on his Channel. 🙂

He keeps it milquetoast, you’re right about that.

100%. He's a great interviewer who clearly loves his sublect matter.

@@howardthrust explain!

@pricedownproductions9851 - It's time for "due diligence" on your part. Those who have "liked" my comment have already done theirs... 🙂

Inveterate AND unregenerate.

​@@talastratrue!

I feel very fortunate to be able to go to this show and meet the band - so looking forward to it!

@@EricJSchultz5280 I really wrangled with myself about seeing it. I'm actually not that chuffed (I've seen King Crimson before). It's a chance to see Steve Vai live that makes me want to go. He's an amazing personality live.

❤ at about 7:50 or so

They're not interviews, they're conversations

Beat is my favorite KC album.

100%

I was excited to see this, but close to $500 for my wife and I in the cheap seats? No fucking way. I saw KC coming out of the pandemic for $20/ticket. Great show.

His dissonant guitar solo on the live performance of Level Five is my favorite guitar solo of all time, coming ahead of even Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix, which is my close second

Belew is an amazing artist

Absolutely. If he was just a singer, and wasn't famous for playing in a band of revered instrumentalists, he would get a lot more plaudits for his vocals. I wished Rick had asked more about that, in fact... I don't think Adrian was doing a lot of singing in that Takling Heads tour where Fripp and Bruford saw him, so I wonder when and how to was decided that he would be the lead singer of 'Discipline'.

He gave us Discipline. Great writer, singer and guitarist.

A throwback to the Roy Orbison school of crooning.

As to Adrian voice, I went to high school with him, he’s always had a great voice, anything he hears he can sing or play, always could.

@@Electricshrock With T-Heads, Adrian did some back-up harmonies. With Frank Zappa, Adrian famously did "City of Tiny Lights", so it was apparent he could sing.

That's the magic of a Master of their craft!

@@pendulumdistinction2494 💯

12:10 The energy in Danny’s legs and grin are fascinating.

Frame by Frame transports me to another world…I look forward to hearing him sing it live again!

A rare, freakish talent- his voice is as incredible as his playing.

He’s done Frame and E with the Dutch National Philharmonic and they’re both on yt. Totally worth a listen

To be fair he's been singing Frame By Frame on almost every solo show in the last fifteen years and MK would also ocassionally make appearences. But yeah, exquisite singer.

No you're not, and I have no clue what all has to be wrong with your head to think it's even possible for you to be the only one! BTW, his voice and having written the stuff to it is what made Frame by Frame, and a whole lot of other songs so freaking good.

They could play scrabble and I'd still watch them do it

I hope they capture the spirit of the originals but don't limit themselves to reproduction and let their creativity come out. But given who it is I doubt that's a big worry.

ANYTHING? I wouldn't let them play ACDC or The Ramones. But to be fair, i don't know anyone who can cover those two, interestingly enough everyone fails at that.

Honestly I kinda wish they'd try making something original instead of wheeling out the oldies, a mix of the oldies and some new improvisational stuff would perfect in fact

@@pfzt I like Scratch 21's cover of Big Balls. It's more winky in its humor, but the spirit is there.

I was playing bass in this new band & this night we were in London staying at this producer's mews house & the tv was on. King Crimson playing Frame by Frame, it had only just come out. I've never felt so inadequate as a musician. They were just on another level & Bellew singing while playing those time signatures, just wow.

Yeah, but the Chapman Stick in his attic has become a fossil 😂

@@musicdirector8046 Seems all of the younger touch guitar players are using newer brands or designing their own instruments.

Well.... in the early 80s he was in his early 30s... so there's that 😂

Or he rather looks twenty until 2020s lol

there's gossip that Levin is actually 325 years young

🚬🤠

Belew, Vai, Levin, Carey and Scrote.

I guffawed and scared the SH*T out of my wife when I watched this

Scrotum? 🤔😏

He doesn’t travel well. Customs, passports, the unbelief…

Well said

Yep, I noticed that, too, and also thought it was pretty profound.

I did notice that! Thought to myself: Right out of a mindfulness mediation seminar!

He's a funny guy on top of it all. His story of how he joined Zappa is hilarious.

You're right. Go check his you tube channel, there are video s on spirituality

He's very articulate and insightful!

Truth!

And why not?

I did an album with Steve Hackett band singer Nad Sylvan a few years ago and Tony played on several songs. A legend.

Wasn't that him on quads skating in that commercial that kept bumping into the interview? LOL! 😄

😮

Tony is an amazing musician and such a nice guy! I got to meet him last month when he played in Chattanooga with Stick Men! Genuinely one of my favorite players!

We can look forward to the "what makes king crimson great" video where Rick pretends he's working it out by ear live...

@@michael1 he doesn't pretend anything. Any adult under 90 (except The Big Guy) knows most of KZfaq is worked on and scripted before the video is recorded & edited.

I got the score books as a christmas present from my wife❤. There’s enough interesting guitar lines for me to learn for the rest of my life. 😅

@@giork2828 Most of KZfaq is recorded before it's uploaded. Except for the live stuff.

I purchased the first press as soon as it was announced. My favorite songbook ever and still getting my brain around some of the genius of this music on paper

I would never guess that Danny is 62, but then again, I would never guess that I'm 60.

Yeah, that's unreal.

@@fchrisgrimm I looked him up because I figured he was at least ten years younger than he is!

@@fchrisgrimm I used to guess my own age, then I just looked at the number of candles on the cake. Now I lose my train of thought before I can count that high.

Now that would be something to look forward to. Not that the 80's King Crimson wasn't already mind bending, but man that kind of music may still have new and great places to go!

Hell yes!

Agreed. Honestly, that excites me more than the KC stuff, and that's very exciting itself. I do wish they'd play a couple of Thrak tunes too; my favorite KC album

I agree. However, I'd prefer to see Belew in Fripp's role as the creative leader - doing things HIS way, in other words. Belew has such a great balance of accessibility and weirdness.

To me King Crimson is a British band but this is an all American line up????

Reminds me of the " Travelling Wilbury's." Bring together amazing musicians who all respect each other, and let the magic happen.

Rick knows and loves music and he stays out of the way, letting the musicians go deep The result is more of a dialog than just an interview.

@charlesboucher9533 agree partially, he made sure every member present got involved directing them the right question at the right time. Then they spoke their mind, the interview feels perfect, zero awkwardness. This takes a lot of intelligence and personal touch. But I agree he knows music and knows how to let them speak instead of interrupting them, and he knows music on such a high level that whatever technicality they go on about he can comment and ask further questions to keep each subject going.

I agree. Rick shows the difference a specialist can make when conducting an interview. He is a great musician and producer in his own right and knows just what to ask to make musician feel comfortable.

Check out Rick's one-on-one interview with Danny. He explains how he had a studio before Tool began, and he played with Jeff, as well as Carole King and others. I highly recommend the Danny interview.

I also loved Steve Via's reaction to it. Amazing Interview.

Funny thing that KC came from all English on start to English/American in Discipline and now all American ;)

I agree a thousand percent!

@@bobchambers1455me too. and THE RICK BEATO SHOW. Great name. 👍🏻

@@Funkybassplayer THE RICK BEATO SHOW, does have a ring to it. Perhaps we should always refer to it as that in all future comments. 😁

@@pennyantewest yes and maybe we can talk Rick into making a show intro video with some very nice female vocals and screeching guitars and a very nice bass line. Would be so cool.

So true! And it matters not what kind of music geek you are. But we are musical music geeks, to be sure!

Steve and his wife sat behind me and my mom at a Todd Rundgren show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles about a year and a half ago. He was just as stocked as anyone else in the room. Could tell he was having a great time.

I've not really known a lot about Steve Vai other than his guitar-god status (I'm not a guitarist). But I agree that he seems like a really cool, genuine person. I loved his take on the new social media landscape -- "I think it's important that you choose how to take it." That flexibility and the conscious choice to move forward and continue to learn really impressed me. @@gerimayawhyte154

They sound like college professors, not the 1% of 1% of the greatest musicians ever!

Its a lesson to up and coming musicians. People think attitude gets you places... Yeah it will... in the short term... but being humble. respectful and honest is going to put you into a LONG career.

@@1xayekim Very well said !!!

Intelligent people

Adrian is a very down to earth guy

Depends whether they can find a drummer

@MehYam2112 Apparently they keep blowing up.

Yeah, Rick'd need to wear a hazmat suit for a Spinal Tap interview!@@Joe-mz6dc

It's the audience that get the interviews. They'd go on Mr Beast's channel if he'd let them.

Please Rick, don't ever volunteer to play drums for Tap!!

That is bizarrely ass-backwards :) Did you watch this just because of Beato, or something else? How did this get in your feed? Enjoy the music! (Check out the Projekct X disc, the whole thing, not just "Heaven and Hell"; an under-celebrated gem in the KC catalog.)

You're in for a ride man, there's a lot of music to listen to. King Crimson never made a bad song

@@talastra I'm subscribed to Rick. I love TOOL so seeing Danny Carey in the video caught my attention. Past three days have been full of Beat, Three of a Perfect Pair, and Discipline. This stuff is sick!

@@MoviesNStuff Oh come on. The "free jazz" noodling in Moonchild is awful. Islands is not worthy of King Crimson. No, I happen like ThrakAttaKc. Cadence and Cascade, while contrasting, is dull; so is the analogous song on the next (or previous) album. Book of Saturday is pretty marginal. Earthbound is again unworthy. The last album had some snoozers. Talking Drum and Sheltering Sky are merely okay. You might notice a pattern. I don't like when KC attempt schmaltz. There are plenty of other bands for that, and ones who do it much better. That said, the 40th Anniversary USA (with Starless and Fracture) is peak music to my ears. The ProjeKcts are super-cool (not as much 2, why put Adrian on drums), Level 5 is supririsngly good. As I've already noted, I really dig ProjeKct X. One must listen to Fripp's Exposure also.

@@ZachJenkins "Elephant Talk," "Frame by Frame," "Matte Kudasai," "Neal and Jack and Me," "The Howler," "Requiem," "Satori in Tangiers," "Three of a Perfect Pair," "Nuages (that Which Passes like Coulds)," [all of side 2, or the "right"/industrial] side. To introduce yourself to the original Crimson (people will says Larks, Starless, Red), just listen to a 40th or 30th Anniversary version of the live album USA (one with Starless and Fracture on it). A live album as great as Van der Graaf Generator's Vital, and Kansas' Two for the Show; if I had to have only one KC, it would be this (or ProjeKct X, which is probably a strange choice for fans). For some other songs, find the live version of Level 5 online, Happy With What you Have to be Happy With, Dinosaur, the albums ProjeKcts 1, 3, and 4 (especially 3 and 4), and ProjeKct X (the whole thing, not just the song "Heaven and Hell"), Robert Fripp's solo album Exposure, the song "Carrying No Cross" by UK (with KC alum), the album The Repercussions of Angelic Behavior (Fripp and Bill Rieflin), there's stuff that Bruford & Levin did called "BLUE" (with Mark Isham, cornet player, I think, and David Torn?!?), Fripp also solos on some early Van der Graaf Generator, and one should always listen to VDGG (though I'm biased).

They're not easy parts. He'd have been happier if Fripp had phoned him and asked him to be the replacement for Belew in a band because then he'd only have to make a few elephant noises and sing - although the singing is sublime.

I think that sense of humility comes from his formative experiences playing with Frank who never let anyone in his band get a big head.

that came from his time with zappa

How do you replace Gregg Lake or John Wetton? or Bill Bruford

Steve's humility?? Hard to pickup his humility when he's speaking 95% of the time. 🤨🙄

Buckley via Carey.

I don´t find it in the interview, maybe I´ve skipped it and can´t find it. Can you please point the minute?

@@andresmarin532836:00

​@@andresmarin5328 36:12

From 1988 to 1989, Jeff Buckley played in a band called The Wild Blue Yonder that included future Tool drummer Danny Carey and bassist John Humphrey.

Same place, his Studio, wonder if Danny Carey interview was before or after , this REVEAL interview?

Noticed that!

Oh God

Right? I thought that was a great shout-out to his prog roots at the time.

And in this video he chooses to wear an NBA tshirt 😂

Bill Bruford plays your Tool records.

@@ryanand154 I wondered who it was - because he leaves our kitchen light on and has been eating toast.

Great record. Serious players.

The magic of Crimson.

Nice for the fans, but honestly, who cares what he thinks about this group. He did Ade dirty moving him out for a cover band player.

@@colinburroughs9871Fripp is a strong personality to put it diplomatically, I don’t like how he treats his former bandmates sometimes, but Crimson is Fripp and Fripp is Crimson.

​@@colinburroughs9871Don't think it's fair to write Jakko out as just a 'cover band player". Sure, he played in a Krim "cover band", but it was one that included original members of the group. Not to mention that Jakko is a well established artist already, and he had even done a project with Fripp and Mel Collins before joining the reformed Crimson.

@@Miguel-un1vh I understand that to a point, but I also think that if that was as true as Fripp kind of claims, this band wouldn't be happening. The 80's band kept the brand alive for Fripp, but Adrian is clearly the reason those records happened. Kind of dichotomous, but within that I feel Adrians thumbprint on Crimson from 1981 on was important enough that it motivates my take on this point.

@@MarceloKatayama Schizoid band was good and all, but Jakko's standing in all of this isn't that of someone who wrote a note of the relevant material, vs Adrian who's the primary song writer of 6 studio records. It's hard to separate him from that. Crimson always had been about doing the next thing until it was time to do 1972 again (which was fine, but at the expense of Adrian didn't work for me- not that anyone cares what I think about this in any real sense.. hah).

I'm really so glad we have rick u know,he's such an amazing person in every way and his knowledge of instruments is second to none,,,he's so easy to listen to u know, not big headed like most, just a nice bloke,I'd live to sit diwn with hin fir an hoyr or two i can tell u!

Yes it is!!

Bravo

I always include Vai & Fripp in my discussions of amazing guitarists

Boot camp

Zappa also gave Adrian Belew his first big break.

If you didn't work, then there was no room for you in any of Zappa's bands! So anyone who ended up on stage with him can probably say they had to work hard for it.

Frank made Vai's career possible -- but David Lee Roth put Vai on the map

First name basis, baby.

I've met him twice. First back stage at RTF in 2008 and in the lobby at the Wiltern for Todd Rundgren. Super nice guy. Funny, we talked about Ultravox. I was surprised he liked them.

@@berniex2 I'm not a drummer but to me his kit has to be one of the most serious and technical kits around.

He was able to draw out Maynard!

Imagine some elitist present day "journalist" from Rolling Stone conducting this. (Emphasis on 'Imagine')

Let’s say it together….and let’s them talk.

💯❗️

Yes please!

Hear hear!

❗

Yes please

fripp s solo is a beauty , very touching

Amen, what an absolutely gorgeous song!

Exactly -- I was so impressed with each musician's frankness and genuineness. No egos. Just 5 music lovers excited about talking about this new project that's paying tribute to some classic, timeless music.

Still liberals.

He kinda just seems to be sitting there amazed that he's a part of this group. I mean, he's certainly got the ability, but two of the originals of that era plus Vai... he must feel like the luckiest drummer in the world this year.

I love Danny's drumming in Tool, but I wonder what this would sound like with Bill Buford.

ABSOLUTELY
