Carlos Alomar at Stevens Institute of Technology

Carlos Alomar spoke during the 2011 Stevens Undergraduate Commencement. He then did a solo performance on the guitar.

Carlos, Mick Ronson, Tony Visconti - there are others, but these three are David Bowie's holy trinity.

couldn't have put that better myself

[@rhfactorUSA]

what a great name. I've actually never heard this before. Carlos is in the same league with that other Carlos, Santana - but 1/100th as recognized.

[@admiralbob77]

I never understood why he let Earl Slick play all the leads in Bowie. Carlos is just as good.

[@joe22589]

What is wrong with Earl's solos? For sure Carlos played some solos - but Bowie chose the other ones played by Slick or Fripp or Vaughan or Frampton or even Rodgers

[@xdproductions3087]

Carlos was a rhythm man. No one could play rhythm as good as him. Except maybe Nile Rodgers

[@revcdh1]

I wish that people would understand that great lead guitar depends on great rhythm and pacing. Every great solo great rhythm.
