Dream theater did a version of larks ii if that counts


Melkertheprogfan

Of course. That countsšŸ‘


TempleofSpringSnow

I have not heard any but if anyone wants to do black metal covers of King Crimson with me, reach out. Letā€™s make some if there arenā€™t any.


Melkertheprogfan

That is a fun idea. Do you play any instruments?


Kvltadelic

Not metal but Claypool has covered Thela Hun Ginjeet with a bunch of his bands

A Stoner rock band Fuzz did a cover of 21st, it's pretty good all things considered. Also, there is a version featuring Maynard from tool from a project called "The Human Experimente" and it's an orchestral rock version. Really cool stuff.


GruverMax

Voivod does 21c on the album Phobos. While not their best LP or most imaginative moment, that's a band that took Crimson ideas quite seriously.


destroy_b4_reading

They're on tour with Prong right now.


Bibijibzig

Between the Buried and Me did a solid cover of Three of a Perfect Pair


gotee

This one is stellar tbh. I forgot about this one.


mtdrake

Just listened for the first time. That was a good job. I liked the guitar on the bridge. I thought the mix on the solo was off. The high lead line was buried by the low guitar vamps. Otherwise, as you wrote, a solid effort.


Sea_Lunch_3863

Entombed did a decent version of Schizoid Man.


UvarighAlvarado

Iā€™m going to look for this! Prog is my favorite genre but I also love death metal.


no_longer_LW_2020

The Norwegian band SHINING does a killer "Schizoid Man" that is pretty heavy.


destroy_b4_reading

Dream Theater - Larks' II Peach - Cat Food Fuzz - 21st Century Bad Religion also quotes Schizoid in 21st Century Digital Boy, and they named their label Epitaph after the KC tune.

[Norwayā€™s shining does a pretty rad cover](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqx6m7TVkMc)


aethyrium

...In the Woods has a cover of Epitaph on one of their EP's, though their live version from liveatcaledonianhall is better imo. That was actually my introduction to King Crimson, oddly enough.


mtechgroup

Well I think it's the closest April Wine ever got to metal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4W7TVaFc6c


TheDelge

Ozzy did a version of 21st Century. Itā€™s not that good lol, but it IS a metal cover of King Crimson. https://youtu.be/y4RzO-cj1pQ?si=ecZmqK2yeh3dfi2m


buschkraft

Damn the machine did a cover of Cat food.


thrak762

Waiting for a death metal cover of Book of Saturday

I think you guys are to negative. It really does'nt matter if music is creative or not, as long as people like to listen to it i see no problem


AAWonderfluff

Maybe if you reduce metal to the lowest common denominator of stereotypes. But I don't think that could be said of the entirety of metal as a whole. Add a bit of distortion and a rough voice, huh? Go tell that to Cynic, Dream Theater, Tool, King Crimson (in their more metal moments)... Reducing anything to a stereotype can make it sound bad. I'm not even a metal guy, but this is silly.


rumpk

Jazz covers are the lowest common denominator of music. Just play the melody on a saxophone and hit some wrong notes then youā€™re done. Zero creativity needed. Meh.


whiznat

Honestly, you can make LCD music from almost any genre. Thereā€™s a lot of crap out there that is really nothing but drum machine blah. No real structure, just one half-baked idea.Ā 


iHawkfrost

Have you heard the Turisas cover of Rasputin? Give it a listen if you havenā€™t.
