I've tried to play along with it.  Is it on the Rockband game?  Even the bass part is unplayable at the end.  My friends can't believe it's from 1969.

So I heard that Kanye has defiled 21st Century Schizoid Man, which lead to Youtube and that horror, which lead to other 21st Century Schizoid Stuff, which amongst other cool things lead to this:

Fripp, M Giles, Maynard Keenan (of Tool apparently) and others give 21st Century Schizoid Man the WALL.OF.LOUD treatment. It's very well done! (And a totally unexpected sound coming from Michael Giles. Is it really the same man who sung "he runs a lit'le shop with a room at the top...?")

Leads to this:

Half of the "major contributing artists" are King Crimson: Fripp, Wetton, Belew. Apparently M Giles will show up from time to time. So King Crimson goes undercover and becomes a cover band... whatever next?

Enjoy!

PS. Has anyone seen the expert guitar part of 21st Century Schizoid Man on Guitar Hero 5? I watched that. It gets insane right around the screeching distorted alto sax solos. Holy Mary Mother of God...
