this is a wonderful rendition of a great song.


I can only imagine the old school NES game that this would be playing over.


Imagine an old-school Mega Man game that had a bad ending in which Dr. Willy finally takes over the world, with Mega Man and Dr. Light looking at a desolate city in the horizon while the credits roll and this plays


Finally, a King Crimson song besides Nuages that I can play Tetris to!


Why the negativity?  This is actually fun, 8-bit versions are always a fun listen.

The Hermit Its not even those groups that flag King Crimson songs.  It's Robert Fripp himself.

Bro this version is so badass. Whos hating? Ill fite them

It's not fun when lawyers and record companies guard their wares like trolls.


This is definitely your best KC one! Also to think you made the door stuck video as well.


In an alternate universe, Mr. Door Stuck guy was singing Fallen Angel instead of Drop it Like it's Hot


so ridiculous...I love the song so much I don't even care. This is also beautiful.


Beautiful arrangement, love how you did the guitar part at 2:35.


The credits roll on an imaginary NES game about biker gangs, and an abriged version of this song kicks in


Why is everyone so mad at this rendition? Are the commenters old people who don't know how MIDIs work.

@MrExplodey more like mr self destruct lmao

@MrExplodey it's neither wrong nor right, it's an opinion.  But most opinions agree with me.

@MrExplodey Johnny Cash's version is much better than NIN's.

@Radu Daniel hurt isn't a great example, considering nothing can beat the original, and especially not johnny cash

@Andrea Ritchie It's supposed to sound like an 80's video game, grandma. People do these things on the internet, you know.<br>Also blame Fripp for not letting the original be posted almost anywhere

Andrea Ritchie this is where you're wrong. You are very narrow minded. How many "original" songs were covered and sometimes provided better results? An example: "Hurt" by Trent Reznor, covered by Johnny Cash.

Andrea Ritchie lmao if you have the CD go play it. Most people want free music and honestly purchasing the album is always worth listening to higher quality than what YouTube provides.

No....we're old people who purchased the original and played it at deafening volumes and who know every lyric and sound. Old people who clicked on it to hear the original album they were familiar with and got garbage instead. To distort an original version of a song is sinful. It also comes up whenever you type "original", although it isn't.


After hearing it the wrong way for 41 years, I  finally  am hearing it!<br>"Faaa-len.... Eiiighht- biiit!!"

"Faaa-len.... Eiiighht- biiit!!"


Dude this rocks, My only criticism is that I think the guitar sound could have been more distorted, but that is just preference.


Please someone tell me why the band have never played this song in its full form?

It was turned into the form of a song for the Red album, which came at the end of the 70s era (Fripp immediately ended the band after that release), so they never got a chance to perform it at the time. Some 70s-era songs were performed later, such as Red, Fracture, and Larks Tongue, but most were not.

...Until this year. I heard it live just a couple days ago. Was amazing.


this is something i never thought i needed


This sounds like a village theme in a 8 bit JRPG xD


This is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.


There are actually moments of this I seriously love. the lower pitched, sustained notes feel a bit awkward, but this isn't as bad in 8 bit as I thought it would be.


Im not gonna front... this version  satisfies the nerd in me. It makes me so happy, :')


La encuentro extrañamente relajante, es por que la base musical de este tema es soberbio.


I was going to say ... meh, but this is actually good!


King Crimson... même en 8-Bit, ça a une gueule monumentale.


I would so play this classic FF-style RPG. I see it now...!


The same song, totally different feelings. Thanks!!


Who would say that the door stuck video dude was a KC fan?


ayy didn't know door stuck guy was a kc fan too


Insert coin...Insert coin...Insert coin...

The guy who made door is stuck made this


grooning to the Muzak from a speaker in the shoe rack


These comments.... LOL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR 8-BIT RENDITION!


What does bit depth have to do with MIDI flies?


pit fall or grand prixx....I need to play now


Where can I find Crimson's MIDI files? I can't find them anywhere!


The begin sounds like the Halo theme.
xD


No offense, but this elevator sampler doesn't nearly resemble Wetton's voice.

Because it's not supposed to. It's an 8-bit cover.

+Adrian Escudero It pretty accurate for all his Asia work :P


gia che ci state perchè non sfregiate la gioconda ?


Ma che roba è?<br>Come rovinare un capolavoro. Vergogna.

Ma che roba è?
Come rovinare un capolavoro. Vergogna.


Wth can't we find the studio version of all songs by king crimson


OK, what I've learned is that people do not know what "8-bit" means. Perhaps you want to to stay away from geek culture if you don't like or know it.

+Rob Field  .... consider me away ..........old fart that I am ;-)

+Rob Field 8-bit dont means "Nintendo Game", it isnt so difficult, it ihe bits that the game uses, and the music its like that... 8-bits are the colours that the game uses. you can find 16 bits, 32, 64, etc... dont think that you are a genius... and long live to progresive and sinphonyc rock! :D


nooooooooooooooo!!!!! que GARCHAS es esto?? porque no dejan que escuchemos la version ORIGINAL del disco?? y de paso se meten los derechos de autor en el mejor aujerito que encuentren

+Veronica Joplin jajaja pense lo mismo, pero bue... si queres escuchar la posta, comprala! No siempre el internet nos salva de todo


Que habéis hecho con Fallen Angel? Parece un juego de sonic o Mario Bros. Menuda cagada

Ah, no le vi esa otra intención jajaja
Imaginad, entro dispuesto a escuchar ese temazo y me encuentro con esa rareza.
 Acabo de mirar el titular y no vi lo de los 8 bits 😁😁

Es que esa es la idea.La gente suele hacer estas cosas en Internet.
 A mi me parece curioso, ni me encanta ni tampoco lo contrario.
Y si acaso echa la culpa a Fripp por no permitir subir la original a YT.


WTF???              Was looking for the original version to learn to play an acoustic version.  🤢


ke poca madre  de chingar la musica de crimson , no hagan mamadas


I'm sorry if I offend the person who put this together, but being a person who has listened to the album "Red" for many years, purchased it when it was new & knows practically every  sound on it......well, I found this very difficult to listen to. I consider this to have been Bastardized. To say the very least.


Great they did a gay version of this, but this really sucks.
