Music Quotes:
"King Crimson is, as always, more a way of doing things. When there is nothing to be done, nothing is done: Crimson disappears. When there is music to be played: Crimson reappears. If all of life were this simple" -Robert Fripp Submitted by: Sam

Band Name Origins:
- I read in an interview (I think w/ Robert Fripp) that the name King Crimson came from a wooden tomato crate with the paper labels on the end announcing "King Crimson". Submitted by: Willy Grigg
- Their original lyricist, Peter Sinfield, thought of it as a synonym for BEELZEBUB, which is Hebrew for "Lord of the Flies". BEELZEBUB was Satan's chief lieutenant among the fallen angels. Submitted by: Bobo

Cat poop, cat poop, cat poop again. Original Lyrics: Your mother's quite insane
Cat food, cat food, cat food again. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Jennifer I was listening to this song one day, and out of the blue, I started laughing so hard because it sounded like Greg Lake was saying 'Cat Poop' instead of 'Cat Food'. It was one of the most funniest misheard lyrics I've ever heard. |
