KING CRIMSON LEAD GUITARIST/VOCALIST ADRIAN BELEW BECOMES BAG END ENDORSER

When it comes to true giants in the field of music - the kind of artists other artists stop to listen to - they don't get much bigger than King Crimson lead guitarist/vocalist Adrian Belew.

"He . . . starts playing and our mouths drop open," said Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. "Just to see someone who can play that well and tasteful . . . It's worth paying him just to watch him play."Thus, it was no wonder that the folks at BAG END Loudspeaker Systems were delighted to learn that Belew has become a devotee of their speakers. "We try our best to make the very best product, that we can," John Vitale, of BAG END said. "And when someone of Adrian's stature agrees, it inspires us to keep doing our very best."Belew, who owns a BAG END rig that includes a pair of S12-C loudspeakers, said recently, "The BAG END cabinets are part of my `sound'. . . I love 'em." Both Belew and his BAG END rig can be seen on stage with King Crimson - the legendary art rock group that is on an extended US tour through the end of the year.

Mentored by the late Frank Zappa, an inspiration to Brian Eno, David Bowie and Talking Heads, Belew is much more than just a great guitarist, as he demonstrated on a recent solo album titled simply, "Here." He displayed all of his considerable talents as one of the world's great rock renaissance performers on that effort: he produced, wrote, sang and played every instrument on all of the album's twelve cuts.

Belew joins a BAG END family of critically acclaimed artists that includes Herbie Hancock, John Patitucci, Chick Corea, Art Neville (Neville Brothers), Neil Young, Frank Gambale, Vernon Reid, Melvin Davis, Larry Carlton, Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake & Palmer), Al DiMeola, Allan Holdsworth, Tom Coster, Doc Powell, Ken Kinsey (The Kinsey Report) and many, many more.
