Jun 1, 2010, 12:14pm Parasites & Sycophants
Adrian Belew:: Painting with Guitar Tour King Crimson frontman / songwriter / guitarist Adrian Belew will bring his solo 'Painting with Guitar' tour to the U.S. The tour will highlight new compositions, artwork ("the stage is decorated – littered? - with my paintings."), loop improvisations and "some of my most fiery guitar work," adds Adrian.

Lone Rhino

Nov 12, 2009, 5:45pm Good Rockin' Tonight
Lone Rhino is the first solo-career album by the artist Adrian Belew following years of playing in groups such as Talking Heads (as a touring member) and King Crimson (as lead singer and main songwriter), Frank Zappa, and David Bowie to name a few. Really the list of people he has played with is pretty incredible as he is widely recognized as an "incredibly versatile player. He remains one of the most underrated and woefully overlooked guitarists of recent times. Belew has released a number of solo albums for Island Records and Atlantic Records which blend Beatles-inspired pop-rock with [...]

We´re Comin´ To Get You

Nov 10, 2009, 4:16pm For The Sake Of The Song
As a rule, I´m not much of a Zappa fan. Too many virtuoso guitar solos for my liking, too much of that pseudo neo-classical Edgar Varèse stuff. And although humor certainly belongs in music, Frank can often make you overdose. Sometimes you can´t help but love the guy though. Cue Flakes , from his ´79 album Sheik Yerbouti . Its vivid description of Union-protected ´handymen´ out to get you never fails to bring a smile to my face. "All what we got here is American made, It's a little bit [...]
