    Adrian doesn't get the recognition he deserves in the mainstream.
    Zappa, Bowie and KC owe him loads.

      Many people are familiar with the music he’s made but not with him, because of the enormous amount of fantastic musicians he’s played with…Zappa, Bowie, Talking Heads, and King Crimson (of course), just to name a few.

      I have a little head game that I call Two Degrees Of Separation. When I'm at work, or listening to music with friends, or even a radio station or random Pandora mix. It's surprising how many bands and artists are closely connected to King Crimson. Yes, Genesis, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, Blondie, Zappa, Asia, Eno, Foreigner, ELP, Mr Mister, the list is endless!

    When I was in High School I lived in a small tourist town in SE WI. Adrian Belew lived next door to my best friend at the time who happened to be the guitar player in my first band. We had nooo idea of the mans greatness, we just knew he was guitar player that had some success. He must of heard us hacking through Stairway to Heaven one afternoon, he actually came over and gave my buddy a bunch of pedals and cables that he no longer used. Very nice of him.

      I never quite thought of the Fripp as pretentious as much as that he was very specific about what he wanted and what he was about.
      Couple that with a strain of English reserve and severity and it might be easy to come to that conclusion.

    of air time on Mr bowies latest shiny thing (be in my video)! Adrian takes

      It was the late set one of the nights. We were literally in the last row on mescaline, and I don’t remember the song but the stage filled with dry ice smoke and Belew just disappeared in a blaze of power chords… next night I went down and copped a 4th row seat for $10.

    Vu 2 fois Zappa en concert (Paris et Grenoble); quels chocs ce fut ! Pour moi Zappa c'est pas seulement un formidable guitariste, mais aussi un génial créateur. Et il faut pas croire : son côté fantasque, déconneur, provocateur, se cache derrière une grande rigueur sur scène ...

    City of tiny lites
    Don't you wanna go
    Hear the tiny auto horns
    When they tiny blow
    Tiny lightin'
    In the storm
    Tiny blankets
    Keep you warm
    Tiny pillows
    Tiny sheets
    Talkin' bout those tiny cookies
    That the peoples eats
    City of tiny lites
    Maybe you should know
    That it's over there
    In the tiny dirt somewhere
    You can see it any time
    When you get the squints
    From your downers and your wine
    You're so big
    It's so tiny
    Every cloud is silver line-y
    The great escape for all ot you
    Tiny is as tiny do
    Tiny is as tiny do
    Tiny is as tiny do
    Tiny is as tiny do
    City of tiny lites
    Don't you wanna go
    Hear the tiny auto horns
    When they tiny blow
    Tiny lightin'
    In the storm
    Tiny blankets
    Keep you warm
    Tiny pillows
    Tiny tiny sheets
    Talkin' bout them tiny cookies
    That the peoples eats
    That the peoples eats
    That the peoples eats
    That the peoples eats
    And it's over there
    It's over there
    It's over there
    It's over there

    What I love about these vids is seeing where and when the recordings that appear on Franks albums were made. Just another facet to Franks skills . . . selecting the best segments, and solo's etc, that made it to the album he was composing. The complete albums were flawless, and you would never know so many segments had been cut in from various concerts. Pretty impressive considering the equipment he was dealing with back then. Fuck, I miss this man. If he had lived for another 30 yrs, he could have churned out another 50 albums from his archive.
