The guitar riffs from Ziggy is Mick Ronson. Mick was the guitar riff master. Mick is one of the many guitar players who took a backseat to the artist yet created the guitar hooks that are key parts of those early Bowie albums. Mick is well known for his catchy guitar riffs but hardly anyone knows his name. His well known riffs are on recordings that include: Ziggy, Cracked Actor, The Jean Genie etc. Check out his great guitar lead part on the bonus version of Madman Across the Water on the Elton John album Tumbleweed Connection. Mick Ronson was also a producer of many great songs. Mick should be recognized!
@vicprovost25615 ай бұрын
YES, Madman Across the Water, extended version, utter brilliance on display with Mick aiding Elton in a big way. They need to hear that and see Moonage Daydream from the Ziggy Stardust Concert Movie, either one would BLOW their Minds! 🎸

Mick was called up as a session player for John Cougar Mellencamp and JC credits him with turning Jack and Diane from being an acoustic song that wasn't working into the smash hit it became. He really is underrated for his contribution to many other artists.

Bowie was a Genre on his own. So many styles & characters. He always sang as his character until he recorded Wild is the Wind. This was a tribute to Nina Simone who recorded the song in 1966. This was the first time Bowie sang as himself. ♥️ Love him & miss him! 💔

My favorite Bowie era, rocking out with Mick Ronson and the Spiders From Mars. That entire era deserves full reactions, he will mess with your mind and leave you freaking thrilled! From the same album do Moonage Daydream, an all time glam-rock classic with Bowie giving Mick a chance to really shine. This song is also incredible live, my jaw dropped when I saw the Ziggy Stardust Concert movie, some of the best rock you will ever hear along with Bowie in eclectic theatrical mode. Dope as Hell is right dudes, please do more Ziggy! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶

I've loved David Bowie since childhood when my aunt gave me the album David Live when I was 10 years old. The record was recorded at the Tower Theater (Upper Darby, PA right outside West Philadelphia), and my aunt saw all 6 nights Bowie was in town during the Diamond Dogs tour. I feel privileged to have seen him live 4 times, and he didn't disappoint. Even the night I got arrested for underage drinking in the Spectrum parking lot. Good times back then 😌

Bowie was one of those artists who only improved with age. He was doing some of his most jaw-dropping work just before his untimely passing. I'd suggest looking at some of his later work, including 'The Stars are Out Tonight' and "Blackstar', which is the culmination of the Major Tom saga that began with 'Space Oddity'.

The first Bowie song I recall hearing was "Fame," circa 1974 (I was 14). I loved it but didn't do a deep dive into his music until my daughter turned me on to the album "Hunky Dory." I would describe Bowie as a chameleon who took on many personas, all of them special in their own way. Fast forward to 2007. I took my daughter Melissa to see him in Atlanta at Chastain Park; he played for 3 straight hours. The thing that I call "an unforgettable concert experience" came when he sang Suffragette City when 10,000 people in unison called out "Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am." He also performed my favorite song, "Ashes to Ashes," which was what I especially wanted to hear. "I'm Afraid of Americans" is another banger. Another is the Christmas song he sang with Bing Crosby, a duet of the songs "Peace On Earth" and "The Little Drummer Boy." God bless you guys. Keep up the good work.
@FredGarnett5 ай бұрын
Glad you loved the vocals! According to Tony Visconti his producer 100% of Bowies vocals were first takes during the 1970's! He'd put down the music first and then and come and sing his vocal; always first take. I checked again when he died and even by then, with various illnesses, he still had managed 95% of his vocals as first takes. That is just one ridiculously talented singer ;)

I've said it for decades, and never heard anyone say it before, but hard to say I'm wrong.....I would have done anything possible to get Bowie and Prince together for a collab. Nothing they couldn't do individually, so collectively impossible to contemplate beyond a dream. Too late even for A.I. which they could outwit even dead.

This album and tour really put Bowie on the map. Ziggy is a classic album, and really Ziggy was the first character persona Bowie adopted. I would add that you should not miss the importance of Mick Ronson on guitar. He also did arrangements for some of the instrumentation, strings and horns. Strong, strong album. If you think it sounds futuristic today, imagine what it sounded like in 1972. His appearance, stage show, and music was completely different and utterly unexpected.

The man knows how to make a record. And that’s not faint praise. Some artists can write and sing and play but have no particular talent for what to do in the studio to create the best recorded version of what they just wrote. (Bowie produced Lou Reed’s “Transformer” and you can clearly hear the Bowie touch.)

The first music I ever received was the single for space oddity by Bowie. Mono on the Phillips label. So I took the whole journey as he sang it. We were poor then, so I always played the B side in those vinyl days, and there lurking on that first single was "the wild eyed boy from free cloud". I had no idea that you could do a song like that, and I was all in. Not just with Bowie either, it was a musical exploration. In an interview Bowie was asked what he attributed his success to. "I just got lucky with the songs" he replied. Humble. He was giving to his fans, whom he never took for granted. There is evidence on you tube of the end of a show where he invites those who remain to stay, and for a post encore he would perform and entire album for them. The fact that he would also explore music and innovate kept him relevant for his whole life. A unique song writer, a chameleon creating characters like Ziggy Stardust, the Thin Duke, Aladdin Sane et al, and a gifted musical voice. There was an occasional cover, "Sorrow" which had "Amsterdam" on the B side. He sings Sorrow with emotion, but Amsterdam is a performance. Listen to both to see what I mean. Pop, Jazz, Funk, and Rock (and Roll), were all accessed by Bowie, and though he's gone now, I still enjoy it all. A fine reaction guys. Hoping you and yours are, and remain well.

I’d agree 100% his vocals aren’t the strongest facet in his arsenal but, like you say - it fits. His voice works with his songs. Then you get performances like Young Americans and much of Aladdin Sane and it’s just banging! Perfect.
