Members Jimmy Chitown Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 You'll hear no I-IV-V here. Doesn't even sound like a guitar. But he's known for that.

Members Nightwatchman9270 Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 Meh. Adrian Belew never did much for me. Just a lot of cool noises. Sort of reminds me of a guy demoing equipment at a trade show. I remember a song called "Oh, Daddy" or something that I kinda of liked for a few minutes. It at least had some heart and was kinda sad and bittersweet. Most of his stuff is too mechanical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scuzzo Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 One of my favorite guitarist.. he is a hell of a lot more then just cool noise..i guess it comes from his being a drummer before guitar.. but his chordal work is amazing.. and he has one of the best voices mho...

Members DavidMgT Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 One of my favorite as well - very unique and amazingly versatile. His work on the album Side One is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mdog114 Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 He was great in Zappa's band! I also dug what he did with the Talking Heads, he's a great original and the KC stuff is just technically off the hook. He's The "Twang Bar King"!

Members scuzzo Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 he put out an lp called young lions.. that was very very good.. im not sure if its still in release.. but its one of my fav solo efforts... but you cannot match that span of 3LP by king crimson.. Beat3 of a PairDiscipline need to be on all progressive rock listening lists.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DavidMgT Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 His trio with Danny Carey and Les Claypool (Side One) is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evh1984 Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 I always found his stuff to be interesting. I also like Johnny Marr's experiments, as well as the guitarist for the Flaming Lips. Their version of 'War Pigs' is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members super56k Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 Saw the Power Trio in Fort Wayne at Sweetwater for a one-off deal. It was amazing, especially in their small auditorium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ashasha Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 He's another Axe-FX user now too. sob1u0GbBWE But alas, he's never done much for me beyond a few songs. I suppose I'm too meat n' potatoes or something. Respect the talent, but don't always get the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Squier Fat Telecaster Posted July 21, 2010 Members Share Posted July 21, 2010 Saw him with the "Bears" group in 1989. Great fun rock band. Sat 6 feet in front of Adrian. He was using JC120 amps back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
