It reads like it was written by the subject of the article; it contains information that is not biographical, but autobiographical. Someone who knows more than me should rewrite this whole thing. It contains statements about what the subject of the article *was thinking* which is way out of bounds

Adrian Belew did not do the Bob Dylan impression on the Frank Zappa album "Sheik Yerbouti." It was done by percussion player Ed Mann. The Zappa video called "The Dub Room Special" features Ed Mann doing the impression before the cameras. I have removed the information about this from the Adrian

It's in Sid Smith's book "In The Court of King Crimson", generally considered a reliable source. Can't give you page numbers offhand as the book is not with me right now, but Wetton doubled a few of his basslines on 'Starless and Bible Black' with a Stratocaster and McDonald played guitar on some

Or instead of complaining about quality, you could actually stand up and try to fix it. The article needs a lot of work. It shouldn't be looked down upon, rather more attention should be given to it so that we can make it better. All good articles have to start somewhere.
1061:
The 1972 Paul Simon record does not mention Belew in its Knowledge article, and as this precedes Adrian meeting Zappa, he is unlikely to have contributed to the original. Is someone claiming that he contributed to an added track on a reissue?
616:
I notice an overabundance of parenthetical asides (I find this very unencyclopedia.) There are so many I don't have time to fix them at the moment, but I thought I'd call it out (in case someone else is motivated to before I get a chance.)
742:/Tom Tom Club work really should be fleshed out. There's plenty of material and even videos for your enjoyment of the Talking Heads tour with Belew, and seriously, his guitar made all the difference in their sound then. Just a thought. -- 1214:
All this business about "Oh Daddy" being a "top 10" hit needs to go. It's possible that it may have achieved that status on some sort of airplay chart or whatnot - but that's not what a top 10 hit is.
1320: 933:
A video on YouTube has a 40 minute interview, in which Belew shows how he produces the sounds on the King Crimson trilogy, Discipline-Beat-Three of a Perfect Pair, including alternative tunings.
856:
This is no big thing to be questioned, nevertheless, could anyone provide a reliable source to confirm if such contibution - even very occasionally - of Wetton and/or MacDonald indeed had place.

Anybody who is familiar with Belew's style would immediately recognize him imitating Dylan on 'Shiek Yerbouti'. The album specifically credits Belew!
