Adrian Belew Live in Buffalo Elephant Talk

[lmdeak1112]

he is the master, and very nice personable, friendly...he is good, he knows it and doesn't have to play the rock star - to make sure you know it, if you don't hey....that's your problem

[Mi37591]

Hes a cool guy, met him at the Blind Pig before a show,

introduced himself to everyone and signed autographs

and gave away pics.

[stratguy1688]

Reverse DElay baby!~

[ianandy1234]

I met Adrian and the band last week after his gig in Newcastle, It made my year been waiting years to see him

[muffinbod]

Maybe it's because of his profound genius but someone really ought to talk to him about a new way without hair.

[cooliovasquez]

@muffinbod seriously just shave it all off adrian, this isnt a good look!!11111

[VulturesAwait]

One of the best guitar players alive. Still I was pissed when he beat out Rhoads for guitar player of the year in '82...damn im old

[SheWhoPlays]

Made me get up and dance!

[SheWhoPlays]

Got me dancing

[Chewwy153qt]

At 1:01 to 1:03 you see frets.

[moimoiac]

can hear this guitar, in the kitchen, in the toilet, in the room the room on the plain, in the mountain, in the desert,

and even poorly written will always be my inspiration

[Yarsh52]

I love how Adrian has a special stance for playing guitar.

[pilesovinyl]

Still great. hadn`t seen him since mid 80s stuff with King Crimson.

[TruthSurge]

Seems he picked up a few tips from Byrne while doing the Talking Heads stuff. hehe

[spiderbass65]

Belew picked up Byrne's vocals and Byrne picked up Belew's guitar style. It was an even swap. Got to see Crimson and the Heads both in '84.

[alanmorri]

Yeah...that Parker is indeed a SWEET piece of gear!!

[Elyodachido]

Anyone gonna be in Los Angeles on Saturday, December 20th, 2008? You gotta go check-out the King Crimson tribute show by The Great Deceivers @ club SPACELAND!!!!!!!!!

[jxmxfxpx]

Adrian Belew is a mad genius.

Thanks for posting this! The quality is poor unfortunately but it is still a great tune.

good stuff....

[gordio]

BITCHIN

[HinknownUnson]

Well, that's a little different term... instead of Bull Shit, you have Elephant Talk...I get it, dude, and I like it. It

would be better if it sounded worth a hoot,

but thanks anyway. Adrian Belew is like some

kind of 'mad scientist' on that Parker.

[zappalaney]

eric !

dude slow down man !

[ericslick515]

haha i know, its a 2 year old video. i had tempo problems back then!

[zappalaney]

it's ok man , at least you dont need no stinking click track !

you're still a FORCE to be reckoned with my friend !

get you're TRIO asses to TULSA !

[trollfinger]

I love Adrian Belew, and the fact he looks like beetlejuice makes me love him more haha

[GaryNull]

Julie Slick on bass? Isn't it that Australian girl Tal something?

[meatforyourmom]

its a parker nightfly=not fretless.

[kalashnikov12345]

No, thats Adrian's custom fly. He has sustainiac pickup at the front and the controls are like a strat with a 5-way switch.

[slapbassman]

If you go to 50 sec and pause it it is shiny indicating it is fretless ^_^

[OFrankieJ]

I know it looks that way in this particular video of him, but it was the only guitar he used for the entire show, i have severel videos i took from this show and many many photos. I promise you, it's not fretless. Go to about 3:00 to about 3:10, you can deffinately see the frets. He does use a fretless guitar in studio occasionally(Big Electric Cat) but I know that is a Fender Mustang. If you want I can send you some photos from this show.

[boibad12]

@OFrankieJ actually his fretless used on big electric cat was one of the roland synth's i believe

[OFrankieJ]

@boibad12 it was a fender mustang. in an interview in guitar player magazine, he said it was a regular guitar with the frets filed down. and yes it was one of the mustangs he had modified for his roland synth.

[elysium735]

@slapbassman Actally, it is shiny indicating that its his signature Parker with a carbon glass epoxy fretboard. Also, it is useful to have knowledge before you speak.

[slapbassman]

fretless guitar ...nice

[OFrankieJ]

actually it's not fretless....he is just THAT good!!!!

[Boleaspanic]

Amazing!

Thanks ;)
