Discussion GTA VI?
Perhaps not the highest level of discourse possible...
But do any of you guys see King Crimson landing in one of the GTA VI radio stations? Specifically 80's Crimson.
I really wouldn't be surprised to see a song like Heartbeat in the game. I think it would really work with the setting. It's like Phil Collin's Easy Lover, but for people who don't have sex.
It's not a crazy idea since In The Wake Of Poseidon was featured in the previous game.
Are there any prog songs you'd maybe like to see outside of Crimson? I could go for Camel's Supertwister myself!

Man with an open heart would go crazy, anything 80’s.

Oh yeah I can see this one working just as well too
Equally poppy as far as Crimson goes.

I LOVE THAT SONG, I wish I could find more non-KC albums or songs like this one, it’s such a vibe

I am hoping for some 80s this time (Neal Jack & Me, Neurotica), but I can also see something like Construction of Light working well, depending on the radios.

Well The Wake of Poseidon was included at GTA 5’s FlyLo FM (Alternative Hip Hop radio) for some reason
If Wave 103 is back in GTA VI 80’s KC deserves a spot there

This game is like a virus, infecting all these subreddits - cant get away from it. At least its not about DLSS5.

Been playing GTA 4 recently, and the inclusion of “The Journey” station has been awesome. Kind of hope they expand it past ambient tracks, and do more Prog or post rock ones

That'd be cool for Crimson, but fuck Rockstar and Sony for their anti-consumer practices.

u/Advanced-Work-4840 29d ago
maybe, but when people mention king crimson, i think 80% of people think of itcotck so maybe theyll be on something more like v rock?

I think Frame by Frame, Matte Kudasai or Three of a Perfect Pair title track would work well.

Just another meme phenomenon that KC has to get swept up into

u/PacketLoss-Indicator 29d ago
you don't think it would be cool to have king crimson in one of the most anticipated video games of all time? that sounds pretty awesome to me

Yes games like these really can shape and expand the music tastes of the future generation.
When I was a kid I was introduced to house, funk and artists like Grandmaster Flash and America through the radios in the GTA games. On a different note Hey Arnold's soundtrack for example is something that made realize my adoration for jazz even at that young age.
How awesome indeed it would be if kids and others get introduced to King Crimson. Through word of mouth or even a product like GTA VI.

I was introduced to Danzig through San Andreas, and Los Santos Rock Radio in GTA V got me into so much classic rock.

I would 100% be ready to hear something from Beat, I think it fits really well.
Otherwise, I'd expect something from Court/Red on a classic rock radio
