1 - Who's gonna replace him? Tony Levin? But I believe that Levin was there because of Bruford, and Bruford said he was never gonna play again with KC (he can't stand Fripp!). Then who?

2 - Maybe KC is just going to split? Then no replacement will be needed...

3 - If KC doesn't split, are they going to have a major line-up change?

4 - Shouldn't they get Pierre Saint-Jean? (Sorry, couldn't resist!).

This will certainly give Belew time he needs to focus on his solo material and finish up the long awaited DUST box set of rarities.

Gunn and Mastelotto were as good as any other KC 'low end' section and I think had a lot to do with progressing the band over the last several years. They also had a lot to do with getting more exposure and distribution.

I would love to see someone like Malone join the band, but feel that maybe it's time for Fripp to settle down and spend more time with Toyah. I have a feeling he will still be releasing music however. Maybe KC can continue as a studio band...which to me is better than nothing.

Only time will tell.
