Aww man. :(

Ian McDonald

F*ck.

That really sucks, he was a big part of what made that first Crimson album so fantastic.

That McDonald and Giles LP is worth checking out too, it's a strong contender for most laid back prog album ever.

If I had to pick one King Crimson album as my favorite from the band, It would be the debut album. All these years later it still blows my mind when I give it a listen and it still holds up well to the test of time.

R.I.P.

King Crimson's debut album rates as probably the best prog album ever. No prog band ever topped that one.

RIP, Ian MacDonald.

McDonald did some session work too, most notably he played sax on Bang a Gong (Get It On).

Oh yeah and he was a founding member of Foreigner, a band which I am not a fan of and honestly I thought his time with them was a huge waste of his talent, why the f*ck would you have such a talented multi instrumentalist in your group only to have him play rhythm guitar most of the time? His sax solo on Long, Long Way from Home is pretty sweet though.

First Norm and now this, Ronald must be devastated.

I'm sure Ronald McDonald has come to terms with his immortality by now, he is after all an angel of death.
