[[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 musician and vocalist (and sometimes drummer, pianist and bass player), perhaps best known for his work as a member of guitarist for 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 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 four [[Nine Inch Nails]] albums: ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'',
''[[The Fragile (halo)| The Fragile]]'', ''[[Ghosts I–IV]]'' and (reportedly) ''[[Hesitation Marks]]''. He was originally confirmed as a touring member of Nine Inch Nails for their 2013-2014 tour, but exited the lineup before the tour started.[http://pitchfork.com/news/51069-adrian-belew-quits-nine-inch-nails-it-didnt-work/]
