King Crimson ‘The Great Deceiver’ (Bass Cover) LRRG

August 10th, 2010 | by admin |


VIEW IN HQ. This is from King Cimson’s ‘Starless And Bible Black’. John Wetton was on top of his game. Thanks for dropping by. Health-food faggot with a bartered bride Likes to comb his hair with a dipper ride Once had a friend with a cloven foot Once he called the tune in a chequered suit Great deceiver In the door on the floor in a paper bag Theres a shoe-shine boy with a gin-shop slag She raised him up and she called him son And she canonised the ground that he walked upon Great deceiver Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary Cigarettes, ice cream, cadillacs blue jeans In the night hes a star in the milky way Hes a man of the world by the light of day A golden smile and a proposition And the breath of God smells of sweet sedition Great deceiver Sing hymns make love get high fall dead Hell bring his perfume to your bed Hell charm your life til the cold winds blow Then hell sell your dreams to a picture show Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the virgin mary Cadillacs, blue jeans, dixieland playing on the ferry Cadillacs, blues jeans, drop a glass full of antique sherry

    You never stop to amaze me! Thats a killer combination (the modified p-bass, and the Rickenbacker). P-bass for King Crimson, Rickenbacker for Rush :) -Reni

    It’s a MIM P Bass, made in 2005. I yanked out the stock cheapie pick ups and installed a set of Seymour-Duncan 1/4 pounders (basslines). The other mod was a BadAss bridge. Thanks for the comment, -Bill

    One of my favorites from the omnipotent, mighty King Crimson!!! Fuck yeah! “Starless & Bible Black” is one of their best albums, along with “Red”, which is my personal favorite. “Larks Tongue in Aspic” is quite stunning as well. 73-74 Crimson is TOPS!!!!

    Wow nice shirt! Are you from Hamilton by any chance?

    I was always amazed that Wetton could play this bass line and sing at the same time. That’s why he’s a musician and I’m a listener.

    @BillyMegaWatt Wow! I didn’t realize he played this song with a pick. How do you know that? Is there a video of it out there somewhere? Did you see him do it live?

    Great cover! Nailed it, Wetton is such a great bass player dude!

    Is there any chance i might see you cover the following track on the Starless and Bible Black album, “Lament”? I totally love the bass part in the middle, during what i like to call “the proggy part” :P

    I’l keep wishing ;) Cheers!

    For some reason… I almost get the feeling you don’t have tabs for this.

    @ugmogog John Wetton was bassist from 71 until the band split in 74.
    75-80: Hiatus.
    80: rebirth with Tony Levin.
    94: Trey Gunn was added (not replacing Levin) to the “double trio”.
    Levin backed out in 2000.
    Gunn was replaced by Levin in late 03.

    This is one of the greatest bands to ever pick up instruments…well done on your taste in music Billy…everything you cover is certainly worth revisiting/covering! And you do a killer job on everything
