The Man's a LEGEND. RIP Greg.

[@danielparent3093]

The Best off the century

[@alessandrobanovich6847]

This guy was a beast on the bass guitar....very much underrated. RIP Greg!

[@lindahandley5267]

Such a sweet, smart, talented soul. We miss you so much.

[@lanebashford3982]

What a huge talent and a decent, kind human being. RIP Mr Lake.

[@magirusdeutzjupiter2234]

RIP Greg, a legend, gentleman, and one of the finest musicians ever.

[@donaldlembo1263]

Rest In Peace Greg Lake thank you for all the joy from your work.

[@arame29]

As a singer, virtually unchallenged. And got better over time.

[@jillrobinson7782]

May this wise, sweet man be remembered in music history long after we are gone, and the same goes for his colleagues and groups.

[@marcryvon]

What a great human being he was. I miss him so much... Oh well. RIP my friend Gregg.

[@JoeContiMusic]

So talented as a singer, writer, bassist, guitarist. Intelligent, insightful, 100% classy. I’m so glad I grew up with his music, it’s still lifts me up. Thank you Greg! 👍❤️

[@Crezelltree4261]

Not only a great singer but a very articulate & well spoken man.Interesting when you consider he dropped out of school to become a musician.

[@lauremehrkens5891]

Aahhh, schools overrated anyways😁.

[@jillrobinson7782]

Ah, methinks Greg was extremely well read.

[@jbird4754]

In the early 70s when I discovered King Crimson and later on ELP, I fell madly in love with this beautiful genius❣️

[@winterlane2247]

Still am

[@terrysmith5396]

What a journey Greg it still goes on!

[@michaelpegoda7482]

A true musical spirit that keeps me going and keeps me happy I only saw him once with ELP and I'm very thankful for that I'm still there at that show 40 something years ago

[@steffanhoffmann]

Eloquently explained; and an admirable analysis, that only we 🇬🇧 possess. Best wishes 🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇸

"Music goes from soul to soul"

[@lindafoley7293]

Greg was an incredible man and talent rip would have loved to have known him

[@martinsayell1372]

You certainly did that Greg . I had the pleasure in in 79 a performance by a band I never heard of .they amazed me With a torrent wall of sound Saxophone Melatron and that was King Crimson❤

[@thomasnelson5758]

Gatekeepers will lambast West's use of sampling (old haggards are always denigrating the hip hop genre and modern music in general due to nostalgia), but I thought it was a brilliant use of 21st Century Schizoid Man, and West is quite literally the embodiment of the 21st Century Schizoid Man. I actually went ahead and listened to West's whole track, towards the end he outright discusses suicidal ideation, I thought it was really fitting for a 'schizoid man'. Props to Mr. Lake for recognizing the brilliance of West's song. May he rest in peace and his King Crimson legacy carry his name for more generations to discover, whether through Kanye West or otherwise

[@diamond_holly723]

Thank you for posting this :) It's good to be able to hear his voice again

[@staceysmith4868]

So talented, so brilliant and so very much missed... thank you SO much for sharing your marvelous self with us!

[@michaelhaller1762]

Legend! - I hope that when we are all dead and gone people will still listen to his music, his voice.

[@andrewhoran7088]

soul to soul. thanks Greg always felt that way with your music

Bless you Greg

[@TheMalibuDar]

"We all live our lives against a tapestry of music" Damn, I felt that.

[@TheActuarialAcademy]

Love Greg.

[@mrJimCharles]

He says ITCOTCK is extremely European influenced, but 21st Century Schizoid Man sounds like it's got blues and jazz influences to me!

[@lolnahnvm208]

Yeah that's a big mistake from Greg here. It's actually adding a euro influence back into jazz fusion.

[@Martsapso21]

That's just one song. The rest of the album is like medieval music on steroids.

[@joeybernard6911]

IS THERE A MORE BEUTIFUL MAN , IN EVERY WAY?

[@Deborah4Antiques]

Goodness always seems to come from Greg. He's very special.

[@deborahklinlger8565]

Greg was a special man in so many ways.

[@Emerson278]

When God created this gentle man, who surely was a total gentleman, he/she broke the mold. We were all "Lucky Men and Women" to have had this beautiful soul in our world for many years ! We all miss him so very much but we will see him again some day in a better place. RIP Mister Greg Lake and thank you for making our hearts sing for all these years.

Turns out Kanye West is THE "21st Century Schizoid Man".

[@anneslater5437]

Lol..

[@tommcconville4270]

The interview is not about Kanye, it's Greg Lake being interviewed. And it's a very compelling and interesting one, a great loss in Greg Lake's passing.

[@Emerson278]

Truly unfortunate about his psychological condition affecting his recent actions

Did he get paid?

[@kimbrown7069]

West is a meaningless sham. Keith, Greg and Carl... true creative genius!

[@SplendidCoffee0]

“It’s lovely to hear a really contemporary artist doing it.”

[@anneslater5437]

Greg is so diplomatic..a lovely genuine human being

[@thomasnelson5758]

@@anneslater5437 Yes, I'm sure his continuous praise and use of West's song on his own tour was just a show of diplomacy and avoidance of how he 'really feels'. Gatekeeping against modern music is a tumorous trend amongst the aging.

[@Rob_M_8]

That’s complete ignorance. The song works perfectly with the sample. And most of Kanye Wests albums are brilliant. If you don’t like hip hop that’s fine, you don’t have to, but it’s pure ignorance to call him “meaningless” when he’s got a discography as good as his. It’s like me calling Mozart shit because I’m not into classical music, that would be absolutely moronic

[@Erwyllian]

Sampled by... He recorded it? Who the hell is he?

[@1337snake888]

Greg Lake... the singer/bassist on ITCOTCK

[@ELPCOTILLION-SD1970]

Precisely...He's NOBODY He's A Stupid Looking Annoying Pest Who Has NO BLOODY BUSINESS Sampling NOTHING That Greg Lake Worked Greatly To Accomplish...

[@stregadisalem732]

🤦🏻‍♀️

[@exitthelemming145]

It's kinda spooky that over 40 years after it's release, Greg started to resemble the anguished face that adorns the cover of 'In the Court of the Crimson King'

[@DreamStarGalaxy]

We’ll see how you look in 40 years, how rude!

[@Erik291098]

Hopefully I won't grow up to be stuck in the past like people commenting here.

Not stuck, just appreciative in answer to your comment, what would we be without the past?

[@Rob_M_8]

@@brendahhstiles9992 a lot of people in these comments are stuck in the past. Why can’t they appreciate Kanye’s song as well as Crimsons? Both are fantastic, you don’t have to call one shit just because you like the original

He really lost his looks. As a young man he was beautiful. A nice man though

Gregory Stuart Lake will always be the most beautiful person ever to sing and play, inside and out. The twinkle in his eyes and his genuine grin are still there.
