[@rufusbass]

Excellent questions, AND importantly, thankyou for allowing Tony to fully answer...SO many great moments in this.

[@DaniloMarrone]

This is a remarkable interview. Excellent questions with great responses from Maestro Levin.

[@tomhenninger4153]

Tony - you are so cool and authentic! First saw you on the Shock the Monkey tour. '82. Thanks for the stories, honesty and your time! Rock on!

[@scottcohen575]

Tony you seem like the coolest dude. I graduated from Crouse College in 1994. You are one of my heroes! Psyched to see you on tour with Beat

[@250f5.6]

Great interview! Thanks!

[@cflatminor594]

awesome interview... wonderful to get to know Tony....

[@kiwimurray2244]

Tony Levin was the original bassist that John McLaughlin wanted for the Mahavishnu Orchestra. That goes to show just how long Tony’s been in the business for

[@HerrSint]

He's played for JFK on The White House lawn. That's how long he's been into music.

[@j.jester7821]

Im glad Tony did not end up in Mahavishnu. It would have been a waste of his talents.

Jonas hellborg was no slouch!

We can never get too much Tony!

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

David Gilmour is a beautiful man

[@johncopeland3826]

Brilliant work with the late , great brilliant , Robbie Robertson ...so cool to have 2 geniuses on the same record !

[@thomasmoroney1079]

I feel like I know this guy! I saw Crimson and Gabriel so many times I can’t even count❤

[@ShroudoftheLogos]

I saw Tony with Peter Gabriel in 1982 at a show in Normal, Illinois. Great show.

[@joesatchton212]

What a total LEGEND....HYSTERICAL story about Liquid Tension Experiment!! XD And I am certain Tony is being incredibly modest and humble. John, Jordan and Mike would NOT play with Tony unless Tony was actually a virtuoso monster player.

[@HerrSint]

The DT guys knows too that Tony practically *invented* catching and remembering lengthy, complex music through first listening.

[@joesatchton212]

@@HerrSint Yeah, which is what makes Tony's comments about the DT/ LTE guys so self-effacing and humble. XD

[@GraachAhim]

Back in the early eighties Tony looked like an old guy. Now, 45 years on, he looks like a young one.

[@garyvanremortel5218]

The man is a legend.

Tony is a musical genius!

Great interview.... Do I see a Dingwall in the background? ;) Maybe another multi-scale bass....

[@nayr87]

Thats a dingwall Looks like an ng3 or a combustion

Isn't this why we love music?

[@randallkeller6146]

I'd love to know the other bassists that Fripp had audition for that 80's Crimson lineup.

[@westfield90]

One of the very few people in history I wish I had the opportunity to meet was John Lennon

"we could probably talk for several hours, but people would get bored and leave" oohp.... did that come out wrong...

[@danburnes722]

Not with the great Tony Levin.

[@robertlivingstone3364]

He does a a great job, excellent questions, I'm sure you're better.

[@NesconProductions]

My personal experiences hearing Tony playing live have been with Peter Gabriel & King Crimson. Besides his amazing technique what isn't displayed in this interview is his incredible energy on stage 😘! Instantly apparent watching that he's enjoying his craft, playing great music with other extremely talented musicians. Having seen Pat Metheny (solo & Group) on numerous occasions Tony's comments on Jaco's playing on Joni Mitchell's _Shadows & Light_ struck a cord, for a truly amazing performance (by all involved..). Thanks for this really interesting interview !

[@jwardcomo]

I have to ask, looking like a dope, who is the interviewer?

[@davidwatkinson1226]

So easy to listen to

The 1981 newly formed version of KC was called Discipline initially, not Disciple. Obviously it was later decided to call the band King Crimson and the record Discipline.

[@terrydavis5915]

Vai replacing Fripp???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Yea that is a heck of a job.

[@terrydavis5915]

But no one is raising an eyebrow?

[@Nickc4555]

@@terrydavis5915 It was Fripp's suggestion.

[@terrydavis5915]

@@Nickc4555 I knew that and why not. Not all decisions are artistic. I will probably will pass. I've seen both Crimsons for a total of 4 times.
