      The biggest thing (performance wise) he did after Steely Dan was being the lead singer of a late-70s soft rock band, with the unusual name of Wha-Koo. They are easy to find on this site. That "Teen Wolf" song he did as a solo artist; but I'd ignore that cr*p and check out Wha-Koo instead!

      Hi apparently you like Jimmy Page and me too. but the comparison stops there. Whether on a technical level or on a very varied musical style level, the feeling, the groove, the rhythm guitar, the finesse of playing and a whole bunch of subtlety, Jan Akkerman is on another planet than Jimmy Page. Either you don't know Jan Akkerman's work well or to be polite, your ears are betraying you and you don't know music well. Hearing or reading aberrations like yours are beyond understanding. Learn music before making such comments. Unfortunately you are not the only one and we live in that world.

    Why end the tribute with Ronson playing someone else's guitar solo? Yes he played it well but not anywhere near the original as Ronson played using a completely different method. This was supposed to be a tribute to Ronson not Mercury or Fripp, the latter of which is thankfully still with us.

    I never got to see Mick with Bowie. The only times I saw Bowie he had Frampton or Belew on guitar. I did get to see Mick play with Ian Hunter in a small club in Atlanta though. Great show, great guitarist!

    Mick was a genius-musical-freak. Always have loved that era--The Spiders/Bowie, Mott, and of it! Not trying to get off topic, the last interview I saw was on an old VHS tape, from 1989. The tape was the Hard and Heavy Video Magazine, Volume 11. Hunter and Ronson were promoting a song simply titled "American Music," a homage to the scene in USA in the 1950's. Damn good track! The song celibrated how the American rock influences inspired the Brit rock movement and vice versa. When the interveiwer asked the 2 guys how they did the song, Ian simply replied:.. "I sing a bit, then Mick plays the guitar!" I have 4 favorite stuffed animals. A bunny rabbit, a Beanie Baby meer kat, and 2 teddy bears. I call them "All The Young Dudes.' Had them 15 years now.

    I didn't know much about him (which is why I watched this). I was very impressed when I heard his full resume. Page is rightfully number one, but I sure am glad that MIck is above Clapton here - he's probably the most severely overrated singer/musician is rock history.
