In 1969, five young Englishmen calling themselves King Crimson
altered the course of rock music. With guitar virtuoso Robert Fripp
at the helm, the progressive rock band flouted the conventions of
rock 'n' roll while battling music business practices. For nearly
five decades, King Crimson has continued to innovate and influence
the music world, spawning many groundbreaking collaborations and
inspiring other acclaimed bands, from Genesis and Yes to Nirvana
and Radiohead. Fifty Shades of Crimson tells the stories of this
unique group and its leader, Robert Fripp, over the course of five
remarkable decades. Tracing the arc of King Crimson's
history-beginning with its initial rise to fame after supporting
the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park and the release of its album In the
Court of the Crimson King in 1969-this book chronicles how King
Crimson became one of the most influential bands of its era. It
also highlights Fripp's many collaborations (with Brian Eno, Andy
Summers, and many others) and the bands that King Crimson members
went on to form, including Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Foreigner,
UK, and Asia. Cycling through countless members, and rejecting
Elton John and Bryan Ferry along the way, King Crimson has released
many highly acclaimed albums and maintained a large global
following. There are numerous spurious claims about bands changing
the course of music, but Fripp and the members of King Crimson have
done so several times over! Now, in Fifty Shades of Crimson, fans
can get the behind-the-scene details of rock history in the making.
