ADRIAN BELEW


Chanteur et guitariste chez King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Talking Heads, David Bowie, ... Adrian Belew entamera aussi une carrière solo plus personnelle et surtout très libre comme il l'a toujours voulue. Le style est en général plus direct, plus simple que King Crimson et en vérité très proche des...Beatles ! Bien sûr, la technique est toujours au rendez-vous et les albums peuvent varier d'ambiance à chaque fois (" Desire caught by the tail " est par exemple totalement instrumental et experimental). Il est aussi fondateur du groupe THE BEARS, dans un style tres pop.
