Gavin Wright
Was it NoMeansNo?
Ethan Richardson
Was it Massacre?
Sebastian Diaz
Charles Phillips
No, it was King Crimson.
Nathaniel Watson
Fucking plebs. It was obviously To Pimp a Butterfly.
Parker Flores
This just sounds like Circus music you’d hear in a movie.
Luis Thomas
the 4/4 faggots go swimming (in C)
Dylan Thomas
This is the winner here folks.
Lucas Anderson
Have any early Math Rock bands explicitly said they were influenced by King Crimson?
Parker Wright
The bigger question is which band was the first to bring Math Rock into the Midwest Emo scene.
Jaxson Allen
its essentially what fripp was doing in the 80s but in the 60s instead
Jonathan Garcia
It’s just Zappa trying to be the avant-garde composers that he liked.
Benjamin White
Black Flag was a kind of precursor to math rock, especially during the punk jazz stuff, and KC was somewhat of an influence there.
But Discipline is more math rock in a lot of its aspects rather than who it influenced. e.g. Hansson and Karlsson being considered prog even though they didn't influence anybody, really.
Jose Perry
So basically King Crimson > Black Flag’s jazzy period > early Math Rock like Slint?
Jacob Williams
this is basically math rock with a bluesy twist
Mason Hall
yeah i agree, and he ended up accidentally creating math rock in the process.
Isaac Ortiz
Basically, yeah.
But if we're talking about Black Flag, then Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black and Red (especially Larks Pt. II, Fracture and Red's title track) are all definitely proto-math rock. There's also Exposure, which has "Breathless" which definitely sounds like math rock.

Listen to the 2nd half of veteran's day poppy and tell me that isn't a slint riff
Easton Gutierrez
The dismemberment plan
Hunter Roberts
Nah, it’s Cap’n Jazz
In fact I think Cap’n Jazz totally pioneered the Midwest Emo scene. I don’t get it when people say it was Sunny Day Real Estate, Cap’n Jazz was around 3 years before them.

The thing in Frame by Frame where one guitar plays in 7/8 and the other one plays an almost identical phrase in 13/8 so that they start in sync then drift off and re sync is one of the coolest ideas in guitar music.

4:18 for the complete effect

Steve Reich was a big influence too even though he’s a classical composer and not rock music.

Frame by Frame is one of must rock music compositions ever. Fripp and Belew are fucking geniuses.
