[[Image:120407-704523-704574.jpg|thumbnail|Adrian Belew (source:[[Nin.com|nin.com]])]]'''Adrian Belew''' (born December 23, 1949, in Covington, Kentucky) is a guitarist and vocalist (and sometimes drummer, pianist and bass player), perhaps best known for his work as a member of the progressive rock group King Crimson, which he joined in 1981. He was discovered by [[Frank Zappa]] playing Rolling Stones covers in a Holiday Inn lounge band. He is known for expeimenting with various guitar effect pedals and the guitar synthesizer. A trademark of his style is using the tremolo arm (whammy bar), garnering him the nickname "The Twangbar King."
Belew has contributed to three [[Nine Inch Nails]] albums: ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]],'' ''[[The Fragile (halo)| The Fragile]],'' and ''[[GhostsI–IV]].'' On November 15, 2007, he reported on his blog about being invited to perform on what would become ''Ghosts:''
