Citation #5 is factually incorrect[edit]

I don't know how to edit a Wikipedia page, so I'll leave it to someone else, but the citation (currently #5) that attributes the guitar solo on Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) currently says that Adrian Below performs that solo.

On the Guitar Player website, an interview with Jerry Harrison & Adrian Belew (dated 10/25/22) Harrison clearly states that is Byrne, and he explains precisely how it is achieved. Let’s talk about some songs. “Born Under Punches” has a bonkers solo:

HARRISON: That’s David. He’s using a Lexicon Prime Time delay and working the hold button. You could record little bits and mess with how fast it played back. It was done piece by piece. But Adrian could pull it off live. BELEW: Well, I didn’t do it exactly like the record, but I did similar things while playing it live. I used a similar effect on one of my songs, “Three of a Perfect Pair,” with a synthesizer guitar. You push this button and trap a tiny portion of the sound, and then you manipulate it. 73.121.31.149 (talk) 01:12, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's an awesome piece of trivia. Like a lot of people, I always assumed that was Adrian. Anyway, I removed the erroneous piece of information the other night because the reference for it was (a) Discogs, which is not acceptable on Wikipedia (WP:ALBUMAVOID) and (b) no longer there.
