Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.

As you can appreciate over my lifetime I've developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.

At this point there are 90 tracks from solo records, The Bears, and King Crimson. It's going to be a boxed set with wheels!

For example, after developing a sound similar to an elephant trumpeting, I wrote the song Elephant Talk which gave my elephant sound an appropriate place to live.

I borrowed a guitar at age 16 and taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs.

I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year, the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.

I have enjoyed all the artists I've worked with.

I have no secrets; all of these things have been discussed at length in guitar magazines over the years but are far too elaborate to cover in one article.

I love drums and still play frequently.

I prefer a quartet, it makes everyone work harder.
Quotation of Adrian Belew

I thought I might be a band instructor, someone who plays all the instruments and teaches others.
Quotation of Adrian Belew

I was left with an urge to make the guitar sound like things it shouldn't be able to sound like.

I'm slowly designing my second Experimental Guitar record. And next year I will release DUST, the giant rarities collection mentioned earlier.

I'm very happy with the band now and plan to continue dedicating some of my best work and my full enthusiasm to King Crimson.
Quotation of Adrian Belew
|
King Crimson is never easy; it's challenging. That's why I like it.
Quotation of Adrian Belew
|
King Crimson will soon be touring parts of Europe.

My favorite puzzle is trying to work out the parts myself, after all it is a solo effort.
Quotation of Adrian Belew
|
My overall goal is to become a complete recording artist, someone who has mastered every aspect of the art of making records.
Quotation of Adrian Belew

The only drawback is once the work is done you rarely see each other.
Quotation of Adrian Belew
|
The point is all these things are merely tools. Use as little or as much as you need to express your own uniqueness.
Quotation of Adrian Belew
|
There's still great music being made, but now there's too much to chose from, so some of us get left in the media shadows.
Quotation of Adrian Belew
|
We expect to keep our writing sessions going until late spring, then to play some new material in a few secret club dates. The record will likely take a long time and may not surface until 1999!
Quotation of Adrian Belew
|
We record everything live each night.
Quotation of Adrian Belew
|
Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.
