I love watching Adrian. I noticed this for the first time when I saw KC live at the Greek Theater in Berkeley and I see the same thing here. He is like a happy genius little kid with his toys. Human at its best.

I used to park my car in front of Smart Studios not knowing that's what it was, and that Garbage was producing their first album in there.

Adrian in Amsterdam, as that is the boat hotel in the background. He played in Groningen, and Belew has a way of making a concert personal with every member of the audience. A giant in the guitar world, yet unknown in the mainstream as always the case.

Amazing we are all in this growing up phase and new wisdom to all of the new things happening right now. We all knew something was happening but just could not figure out what it was. We are all waking up at so many levels and personal epiphanies at different levels and stages. I am in my late 40's and obviously knew and know of Adrian and Crimson. I just listened and re listen to 1981 - 1984. I have been binge watching Belew's work with all of the stages of his career. While I was listening to all of the others, I missed Adrian. Incredible guitar player. So different than any out there. I am enjoying this new discovery of the work. The future is bright.

I love this man.

He should be granted eternal life.

The sounds he created with racks of analog effects & synths have come together in just a few pieces of equipment. His guitar is a triumph. Piezo bridge for acoustic & synth output along with a sustainer. He must be in heaven. Spending a lot less on gear no doubt.

Throughout most of this, I was interested, intrigued... But 2:45 completely blew my mind. I had tears in my eyes, my breath gone, and goosebumps all down my arms. To call this man a genius would be incomprehensive.

Indeed. I scared my sleeping cat jumping up out of bed to shout an approving, rocking, "Yeah!" right about then, too.

Gotta love Adrian, even on serious pieces and somber compositions he can't help but slyly smile at the music.

I was lucky to see KCrimson in their farewell tour 2019, but ABelew was not part of the líneup. without this monster, I was all the time thinking how powerful is his contribution to one of the greatest prog rock band of all times.

What an incredible talent. Just listening, he takes you to so many places. Thanks Adrian! 👍

they're both cool enough to be able to influence (and be influenced by) each other - and then take all that further their own ways. this dialogue between all genuine musicians is endless and part of what the music world is all about.

He influenced everybody practically, all modern guitarists are aware of his ground breaking guitar work. For sure he did influence Vai through the Zappa connection but i think that Steve Vai was actually more influenced by Eddy Van Halen. Belew was playing with Zappa while Vai was employed as a transcription assistant for Zappa, in 1979.

Cream body with honey-colored neck. Whammy bar 😊😘 Voice... I've always carried that around. I got very proficient with it over the years.

Wow such a unique sound

Tu croises ce type dans la rue,il passe complètement incognito,ne jamais se fier aux apparences.Quel guitariste de génie!

thanks Adrian!! thanks for the music !!

Now that's why he is the only guitarist that was allowed in King Crimson together with Fripp. Before, Fripp did all himself and it sounded great. But I think Fripp heard him play and was so impressed he invited him in. And then they had two guitarists. He is matching Fripps talents. And he also has a great singing voice

very inspired and creative guy

perfect.

Que gran musico Adrian Belew

Berkeley has one too. Probably a few sprinled around the states.

Funny, when I made that comment, I hadn’t seen him again until recently. I saw him at a festival, playing with what I considered some random band. The band was amazing though with an incredible horn section and two women singers. I can’t even remember the name of the band, but Adrian was lead guitar. I was grinning ear to ear because the people who went to the show were pretty much there to see the band, but I was there to see Adrian. He slipped in some King Crimson I think I even heard lone rhinoceros riffs in their music and I felt like I was the only one who noticed. It was amazing.

Yeah, you would think that? But I went with a large group of people and those people didn’t know who he was. They were a much younger crowd. I also socialized with a lot of people and said wow Adrian Ballew was great wasn’t he and they were like who? It was strange, but it was a very small festival. Anyway, that’s not saying much because younger people these days are listening to music like K-pop…

Wow never heard of this guy before. But he's incredibly good on that guitar. Wish he would play Bonnaroo music festival next year

I think it's crazy that one of my favorite guitarists shares practically the same name (Adrian Bellue) as this guy, another guitar player on KZread.

wish he tours in Australia one day i would love to see him !!!!!!!!!

Love how Adrian uses computers to play music. If you ever wanted to just play with yourself this is it.
