I can't participate in farce of a thread, which btw was started by an Anti-Abacaber. It's MusicBanter amateur hour at its worst.

I am fan of ELP. I always thought they great musicians. Keith Emerson was known for some crazy onstage antics. He would pull out knives (he had two) and stab at his organ, to sustain a note. When he was done he would through them into his Leslie cabinet. The blades would dull pretty quick and if they weren't sharpen they would bounce off the cabinet. There was one time Keith threw the knife and it ricocheted off the cabinet and the knife went directly into his roadie's leg. Ouch! That's gotta hurt.

In the early days of Genesis they would go to see [the Nice] in concert. They saw Kieth do onstage did what I just described. In fact they actually named the
The Knife after the knife in Kieth's knife act. Believe it or not the person who gave those two knives to Keith Emerson was Lemmy Kilmister. So whenever I hear The Knife I feel Lemmy somehow lives on in spirit in that song, because it was his knife originally.
So if you are going to get serious about the best "Genesis
a la ELP
via The Nice" song it would have to be The Knife.
Genesis - The Knife
