* During the 2022 Fripp/David Singleton speaking tour, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3XGv2xJ9t0 an audience member asked]] about how Robert met [[LeadBassist John Wetton]]. Robert gave a a heartfelt tribute to his late friend and bandmate who were friends since [[EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether their college days]] in Bournemouth to the London beat scene. Fripp recounted how John was the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen first in line to replace Greg Lake]] if it weren't for Wetton getting hired by Roger Chapman's band Family. Robert also praised John as "the best voice of his generation" and compared his bass playing to [[{{Music/WeatherReport}} Jaco Pastorius]]. The two kept in touch over the years, with Robert recounting John's struggles with drug abuse and the [[TearJerker cancer that killed him.]] Holding back tears, he finishes his answer thusly:
---> '''Fripp:''' Whenever I hear or play the opening guitar line on [[{{Music/RedKingCrimsonAlbum}} "Starless"]], there is always something for me and [[ToAbsentFriends it's never far from John.]]

* Gordon Haskell, the band's singer on ''Lizard'', had known Fripp as a teenager and they'd been in bands together, the Ravens and the League of Gentlemen. He disliked his time with King Crimson and remembered the experience with great bitterness, but years and years later there was a League of Gentlemen reunion dinner, and Haskell decided against his better judgement to show up. As he was walking through the reunion venue, he met Fripp coming the other way, waltzing towards him and shouting "Respect! Respect!" and calling out the name of Haskell's most recent album. They hugged and made up. One of the reasons for Haskell's bitterness was that when Fripp issued a compilation featuring the aforementioned "Cadence and Cascade", he had Adrian Belew re-record the vocal for that version. But again, years later, Haskell was touring the USA and he gave Belew a call and had a very friendly chat, in which Belew told him that he didn't think anyone could have sung it better than Haskell did.

This has already been referenced twice elsewhere, so admirable restraint is what's called for.

** "Trio" is also a meta-example: Bruford spent the entire piece (which is improvised) waiting to see if there'd be a good moment for him to join in, but in the end he didn't play anything, realising that he wasn't needed. Since he was usually a famously busy and energetic player, the others recognised his contribution as being "admirable restraint", and he got a writing credit on the track (and therefore, a share of the royalties), because he could have played on it but he had the humility to not do so.
