munchmemory Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 WTF? Another one? Good God. Very talented musician and writer. RIP, good sir. I'll post a tune from Wetton's brief tenure with Uriah Heep, replacing the brilliant Gary Thain. By this point, the late lead singer David Byron, was a drunken mess who missed multiple recording sessions. They finally had Wetton sing the vocal.

HighPitch Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Asia and uriah heep were his worst endeavors. The OP failed to mention he was the bassist of King Crimson. HE played bass on their 3 best masterpieces. Kinda like saying gene simmons of wicked lester died and not mentioning the band kiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like saying gene simmons of wicked lester died and not mentioning the band kiss Why call someone out in a thread announcing a man's death? Also, I would take issue with you characterizing Wetton's time in King Crimson as their best. I hope you know that the recently departed Greg Lake was KC's original bassist/vocalist. Nothing against Wetton, but IMO, Lake was in another class as a bassist and singer. And I would put "In the Court of the Crimson King" (with Lake) as their true masterwork.

I didnt mean to call him out. After rereading, i can see your point but i didnt mean it that way pappito. Anyway, its all subjective but the early crimson was like early beatles.... Good but popy and shallow. The best beatles stuff came later. The best KC came later too on albums like red and discipline and thats all wetton. Anyways in the world of serious proggers and music snobs wetton=KC first. Asia was terrible girly music the sh*t stain of his career imo even tho he made his best coin off it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeJet Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Other than 21st Century Schizoid Man, In the Court of the Crimson King, was a bit too Moody Bluesish for me. I agree with the sentiment that Wetton was part of KC's greatest albums. Especially Red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
