Adrian Belew
King Crimson fans rejoice! Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai, and Danny Carey (or the band Tool) are on the road playing songs from Crimson's 80s releases. We're talking songs from the records Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair. This incredible period in King Crimson's career marked a rebirth. Belew and Levin joined forces with guitarist and founding member Robert Fripp and drummer Bill Bruford and after quite a long hiatus, Crimson were back with a new sense of purpose and potency - every bit as adventurous and vital as the band's late 60s and early 70s work.
The new lineup of Belew, Levin, Vai, and Carey call themselves BEAT, named after the second record in their 80s trilogy. Anybody who calls themself a guitar enthusiast... aficionado... addict, needs to see this show. We at Source Audio couldn't be prouder of the fact that Adrian Belew has added our Nemesis Delay ADT and Artifakt Lo-Fi Elements to his rig. Our friends over at Premier Guitar just posted a couple excellent videos with Adrian: a Rig Rundown as well as a ruthlessly engaging interview.

Adrian discusses the BEAT Tour with Ted Drozdowski of Premier Guitar
Ooh, check this out. The BEAT tour revisits King Crimson's 80s material, but it appears they are not leaving some of Robert Fripp's music from the 70s completely out of the picture. Here is ripping version of the song "Red" from the 1974 album of the same name.
