There is something about Ronson's riff that I've never been able to precisely duplicate on guitar. I knew there were multiple overdubbed electric guitars, but I've never been able to untangle them in the dense final mix. I think this might finally help me to capture that elusive "It" factor I've been searching for all these years. Thank you!
Thank you for so much for doing the Beatles and especially this one. I love Bowie. Seen him many times in the 70s and '80s. Ziggy stardust will always be my favorite album and I must add what a great job you did on this. This was so cool to listen to believe me. I have a request and if you can do it that'd be great and if you can't that's fine too but it's a song from the follow-up album to Ziggy Stardust and the track is called Drive-In Saturday. I think this would be a great one to check out and especially the last minute just to hear the vocals only cuz I've always wondered what Bowie is saying at the end. Some people have told me but I'm not quite sure if they're right or not. Thanks again. Tripper
It's somewhat near amazing how when one sees still photo of a celebrated music star. And see it's broadway. Yet when one is a kid( more likely male) , usually due of promotion, view the suits and camera angles differently. It's part wanting to belong, part being told..oh, you're a clever one noticing that, and some part..I could be doing that. It's like ( and is) advertisers know their targets, using Erik Erikson as( like others) a Bible. And when the timing should be , because of trends. They can carry one into a place to buy the music. Example KISS. They, until a few years before Covid we're still pulling people in. It's so obvious they became outdated old men. And many of their songs, though good or memorable, are not great. So why is a band, with only a bunch of good songs, nothing great, still getting people in. ( They also, which they themselves acknowledge, went on tours which didn't sell). Punk had made the theatrics unacceptable among many peer groups( among other things), but punk itself was dying at the same time. Who wants to be remembered for cheering on some musician to kill themselves, on stage, simply because they couldn't step aside and realize,..this is disgusting. ( And that their activities were being recorded by upcoming technology.. video recorders( old school tech)). They weren't offering fake blood and chaos, Punk was doing the real thing. Pretense returned I think because the whole punk angle was disgusting. It's one thing to pretend to be an evil in the moment person, than compared to, being an evil in the moment person AND letting-it-show. I think I'm saying this because Bowie's public image was that he walked the line( said more of Bowie and band progression and history, not so much Bowies personality, though promoters promoted it as Only Bowie's personality) of pretense and actuality ( Weird because he was 40, 50 years old and still portrayed as a, wayward , teen or young adult). And using short story pulp fiction style stuff to keep it afloat between tours( probably by recording contract, agenda, advertisers schedule, and contacts). Something Hollywood did with so many early popular movie stars. Steal the little kids allowance and earned odd job money by talking them out of it. Instead of just outright grabbing it from their hands. Such nice advertisers, Right?. Business.
