21st Century Schizoid Man (King Crimson) - Bass Cover by Richard Ireson

My interpretation of the amazing bass line to King Crimson's classic: 21st Century Schizoid Man. I was planning on releasing this to coincide with the launch of the 50th anniversary King Crimson documentary but I figure that since the lyrics seemed apt under the present circumstances (28th Feb 2022) that I'd release it now.
Cat's foot, iron claw
Neurosurgeons scream for more
Paranoia's poison door
21st century schizoid man
Blood rack, barbed wire
Politicians funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
21st century schizoid man
Death seed, blind man's greed
Poets starving, children bleed
Nothing he's got, he really needs
21st century schizoid man

    This is definitely one of the most killer bass performances I've seen on KZread!

    Excellent playing on the busy sections. How you retained all those lines is well, beyond me. The Jazz sounds great.

    My jaw is on the floor - that you a) pulled this off with such aplomb and b) that you went fingerstyle over pick and were so damn quick. That's one killer performance, especially the "Mirrors" mid-section ... somebody call the fire brigade because that sh-t was on fire🔥🚒👩‍🚒
