      the other thing that gets horribly overlooked is the way he picked up where Les Paul left off in terms of expanding what could be done with a six string electric guitar. His advancements using analog/digital effects and synthesis with the guitar to create different sounds are extraordinary. Not to mention he plays every instrument in the rhythm section well (great drummer) and has an amazing singing voice.

  • @RastaSaiyaman
    @RastaSaiyaman 5 років тому +206

    There's such a wonderful irony about this song which has Robert Fripp's best known guitar work. Because Fripp is a player who always plays seated but to get that howling siren sound going on this song, he had his Hiwatt half stack on "Search-for-cover" volume levels so his guitar would start to howl in that A note and pace back and forth to really get those over tones going. They overdubbed it three or four times to really get that hypnotic drone going.
    So Fripp's best known guitar work was played with him standing and walking with his guitar rather than him playing seated.
    There's a really funny anecdote about when they went on tour for this album. Because Fripp couldn't be booked, Adrian Belew was brought in and had been given the setlist and instructions to "learn these."
    But the full extend to which Belew did his homework became apparent when the rehearsals for the tour started because when the band launched into "Heroes" Bowie and Eno culdn't stop laughing. So when Belew asked them what was so funny, they told them about the many overdubs Fripp did to get that howling siren guitar part and they found it hilarious that Belew was able to playing all of that on his own.

      Belew joined Bowie's band and wound up replicating Fripp's playing. Then he joined The Talking Head's and replicated Fripp's playing and doubling David Byrne's vocals. I guess When Fripp restarted King Crimson he wanted another guitar player and a modern new wave sounding vocalist. Who to call? Hmmm?

    • @deathmetaldouglas69
      @deathmetaldouglas69 5 років тому +7

      No, even though it's not hard to see Fripp's influence. He was "replicating" Fripp on "The Name of This Band is Talking Heads" when he played "I Zimbra" onstage with the band in 1980. The studio version from 1979 has Fripp playing on the track. Belew nailed it not just note-for-note but had the tone and the right effects settings. One would have to assume if Fripp decided he wanted two guitar players and he would write parts he wanted the other guitar player to play in certain compositions. Now do you understand??

    This is by far the best vocal performance on this song ever documented. Bowie shoots for, and hits, the high sustained note @ 3:28 that he doesn't attempt in any other filmed footage, and is engaged and emotive thru out the performance. It is also a well balanced comprehensive film study displaying all musicians relatively fairly in an engaging style with decent lighting. I have heard better instrumental performances overall ( by this same ensemble) , but all in all, this cohesively, is the best documented performance I have ever seen of 'Heroes'.

Maybe playing to instructions with zappa, but the performance is still transformed by each individual playing and their way of playing. So belew may not be in the same category of ‘genius’ as you think zappa is (who’s solo discography is immense compared to belew, as I don’t rate belews solo stuff as much) but he is a very impressive guitarist who new how to play to the best of each song.

    I would agree 100%. Bill Nelson was one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. Check out his playing in "Live! In the Air Age" (1977). Mind-boggling.

    No, it's Adrian Belew actually in this video. You can't see him much for some reason but he is there on the right. Fripp played in the recording of the studio version of this, but i don't think that he has ever joined Bowie on stage.
