Re: BOWIE guitarists (looping)

Zappa actually had some loopage going on with delays on the 82 tour.  He had 3 delays and he'd put in a weird phrase into each and let all of them repeat for a while.

Oh I dont know if he was actually 'looping' per say, I was responding to the "Heroes by King Crimson" post, by just pointing out that he had a relationship to Bowie before he worked with Crimson and Talking Heads. And that he was particularly gifted at creating "Frippish" sounds live, especially when playing "Heroes": thats why Bowie liked him.
PS: He also toured with Zappa around that time.
PSS: How could I find the Crimson DVD with Heroes on it?

So Belew was looping live in concert?
 
I haven't seen him since he toured with Crimson and the Heads and he wasn't in those days.
 
Do you know what he uses out of curiosity?
 
thanks for all that info.
