Adrian Belew at the Tralf One of the world's most underrated and woefully overlooked guitarists of recent times, Adrian Belewis guitar style cannot be compared to anyone o it's completely unpredictable and off the wall. He's played guitar with Frank Zappa and David Bowie, and also handled lead vocal duties with King Crimson. With incredible versatility, he's always found a way to make his signature style fit into a wide variety of musical genres: hard rock, funk, new wave, experimental, pop, and more.
