Being discovered by Frank Zappa is the start of Adrian Belew's "fame" and certainly not the end. If you play with Zappa, you are a good musician. That's just a fact. Watch anyone out of the Zappa camp and they may be weird, dress funny, whatever you might say, but they are amazing musicians. Adrian Belew in this pick of highlights over the years shows off his guitar skills. And, I'm sorry, some of his solo stuff just should have been huge hits. I don't know why they weren't. Look up the individual albums, because they are really good. Bowie Zappa, Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, etc it's all excellent! Listen for the elephant guitars and just enjoy Big Electric Cat and Adidas In Heat. If this is your first time, I envy you.

Nice. I once saw him with Zappa. He came out bouncing onto the stage. Literally bouncing. It was a great show. Thank you.

That's a known issue with your browser. But not a problem. I check everything before I post with anti-virus and there are no executables in zip. Usually one jpg, several mp3's, one m3u and a txt file. (cover, music, playlist, and text list of playlist
