He was discovered by [[Frank Zappa]] playing Rolling Stones covers in a Holiday Inn lounge band. He is known for experimenting 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 ''[[Ghosts I–IV]].'' . He has been confirmed as a touring member of Nine Inch Nails on their [[Nine Inch Nails Live 2013|2013-2014 ]] tour.
On November 15, 2007, he reported on his blog about being invited to perform on what would become ''Ghosts:''
