Prasad: In June 1993, both Jerry and Trey were announced as members for what would become King Crimson's THRAK lineup. Why did you not end up in the final lineup, Jerry?
Marotta: I did the Sylvian-Fripp record The First Day with Robert in 1993 and then there was a tour for it that I didn't do. Pat Mastelotto was the drummer for that tour. I think Robert felt Pat was more suited for King Crimson than I was. I had never heard a King Crimson record back then. I wasn't a fan. I never lobbied for the position. I didn't know what to think of it. What happened is there was a conversation with Robert afterwards during which he said "Jerry, you're a fantastic drummer. You're just not the right drummer for King Crimson" and that was the end of it.
