David Bowie 'Moonage Daydream' - Fantastic Guitar Solo! It is an awesome song and Mick Ronson's guitar solo at the end is out of this world! It's trippy and melodic. He was one of the most overlooked guitar players ever. But like so many others he passed on before he was able to reach his full potential. So unfortunate. [Edited 11/21/09 12:17pm] | |

[Edited 11/21/09 12:17pm]  I agree totally, P.J. It definately is a great solo. I often mention my love for Mick Ronson on here. And again you are right about Ronson being totally underrated. As much as I love Bowie, I feel that Ronson was a very important ingredient to Bowie's early success. Musically as well as visually. Gotta mention my favorite solo by Ronson with Bowie and that's his lead on the track "Time" from Aladinsane. That solo I think, is beautiful. I hear a lot of what Brian May did later with Queen in that. Are you a fan of Ronson's solo albums? I know he didn't have many but he has a track from his "Play Don't Worry" album titled "Angel No. 9" which is killin'. His guitar leads from Bowie's "Man Who Sold The World" album are great too.SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Ronno's version is tops! The version on David Live album (from the Diamond Dogs tour) was weak and Panic in Detroit from this era was lacking that punch as well.
Bowie has always been able to get those top notch guitarists over the decades, even had Stevie Ray Vaughn for Let's Dance. "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |

Bowie's choice in guitar palyers always went well with whatever project he was working on during the Golden Years (Ziggy thru Scary Monsters, even Let's Dance). I dig Carlos Alomar too. For me, some of Bowie's hardest stuff was on the first Tin Machine album with the Sales Brothers. Although he no longer tours, I really was feeling Gail Ann Dorsey as a guitarist. She really worked well with his 1990's-2000's work. "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |

I really liked Tin Machine. I think the Sales Bros brought a serious edge to what Bowie was doing. The overall image of the band was on point as well.

I have been thinking about checking out 'The Man Who Sold The World' album as well. I have heard that it's a pretty straight forward rock album as opposed to the more adventurous sounds and melodies on his 'Ziggy Stardust' and 'Aladdin Sane' albums. | |

You should DEFINATELY get Man Who Sold The World man. Definately. It is very rock. It reminds me of early Sabbath in a way. Ronson is killin' with some serious Hendrix-ian style playing. It's one of my favorite Bowie albums... SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Probably my favorite Bowie song... I love everything about it.  "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |
