The Evolution of King Crimson's Legendary Bassists
This video is a deep dive into the low end of one of my favorite bands, King Crimson. We'll discover the history of the band, it's revolving door of members and the bass playing legends that propelled this group into prog rock history.
Bass players like Greg Lake, Boz Burrell, John Wetton and Tony Levin. Some only spent a short time in Crimson but would go on to play in equally legendary bands like Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Bad Company and Asia.
