I would guess these are from like 20 years ago, and that he didnt make a ton of money...

You're right, the last time I saw him he looked a lot older.

i have his video from back in '85, he shows how he makes a lot of those sounds in it (can't remember the name of it to save my life).
he has a huge rack of analog gear/rack stuff. he talks a bit about the "new" at the time, eh-16 sec digital delay-he calls it his digital tape machine.

but he gives a pretty good instruction on how he makes his sounds & the gear he uses, i would guess now he uses a lot of digital modeling amp stuff (line 6 stuff) to create his sounds...
he is inspiring and a great singer/songwriter/guitarist....

Belew with King Crimson doing one of my favorites, "Elephant Talk"

Cool, cbguy - I'd not seen that particular vid before - dig this tune, remember it from when it was first released and being not only somewhat blown away, but completely confounded at the general nature of the music. I was coming from a Jeff Beck/Queen/The Cars mentality at that time... ? '82 or so?

You can kind of strip most of the animal sounds down to compressor-fuzz-flanger-touch of delay and Belew's kooky techniques though.

This video (Adrian Belew Electronic Guitar) has been long out of print but some kind soul, Jeffrey Collins, has made it available on Youtube in 6 installments. Enjoy!
