I could see him easily being in the running for the Stones' Black & Blue sessions and maybe getting it but Bowie's stamp was just too far from the Blues influence that Woody 'had' from the same starting point w/out going too far away from a reality the majority could appreciate.
I was lucky enough to meet Mick Ronson in the early 1980's, he was so humble and incredible polite - but then the real geniuses imn our life time usually are... Also feel lucky I got to see him play live once...
Joe Elliot just played this on Planet Rock, here in the uk. What a stunning song! The lead break is to die for! Mick was a superb player! RIP Mick... \m/
D'accord, just saw the last Ziggy concert in the movie theater, and Beck came on as a nice surprise, but I realised I'd rather hear HIM PLAY!! That's big!! Ya, he's a bit unsung for his talent I would say...at least we got him for a little while...
Have absolutely always loved Mick from the early 70's till today he was a right good bloke! Never heard a bad comment and everyone loves him.Mick probably has the most loyal fans of anyone and that just shows how special he really was.He was the best on and off the stage.Glad there is alot of material to listen to.I'll never get tired of hearing Mick play!He was in a class all his own.
There aren't words adequate to express how wonderful he was. The title of this song expresses my sentiments best. Thank you so much for the lovely montage of photos during the song.
I've recently turned 61, I've been listening to rock music since I was 9 years old! Ronno is my hero, I love many great guitar players, Page, Gilmour, Hendrix, but only Ronno can make me cry! God bless you mate, RIP🎸❤️
Interesting. I’ve recently turned 62. And Mick makes me cry too! I thought it was just me. (He is not that famous in Brazil) Steve Ray Vaughan gives me a pain in the chest. It seems I will implode
Treat yourself to something completely different, listen to the original 9 minute version of Madman Across the Water with Mick on guitar. Elton John replaced him with a string section.
Tragically over looked he was more than just a phenomenal guitarist but a writer producer collaborator and never got the financial rewards for all of his work he helped build some others career and was robbed R.I.P. MICK AT THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY WITH THE OTHERS CHEERS MICK.
Hi All, The guitar on this track IS the original guitar that played all the Bowie recordings. If you listen you can tell simply by the tone!. The amp was a Mesa Boggie Mark I Combo with the wicker grill. If you go to the Ronson web site & click on band of 76 you'll see photo's of said amp & its the one on the track & THE guitar. Its now owned by a private collector & can some times be seen at the R-N-R hall of fame. Cheers to all Thank You Suffragete!! Bobby Chen drums on Just Like This CD
maybe I'm wrong , but, I always thought Bowie sort of dissed you once his fame was well established, it was so obvious what you brought to the spiders from mars, wish you had all not broke up, but Mick your guitar playing is legendary, you always were and are the bomb, r.i.p. my good gentleman
@wildcatter63 You say it true. Not all David's fault, he really appreciated Ronson. Defries (note spelling) was a shit bag to both of them but he did help David break America - at quite a cost financially to Bowie.
The most underrated, undervalued & underpaid guitar player. I think it saddened Ronno that Bowie discarded him. Apparently he received less money than the session musicians that were on tour with them.😕 So Mick learned how to score, arrange & produce music, he was adept on the mixing desk too. Lou Reed (As soon as he understand his English- Northern accent) 😆 Lou Reed was grateful that Ronson played lead guitar, piano & writing string arrangements on Transformer! 🤟🏼 R.I.P. Lou, Ronno & Bowie. ☆
i get the impression pearl jam were influenced by this sound.great track ,great man. always be my guitar hero . i still love hitting hit some of those ronson numbers on my les paul.
Ronson was never about speed..Mick was able to convey 'feeling' and 'emotion'. This comes thru in his work as a producer. That ability is innate. It cannot be learned. Jimi Hendrix is prob the finest example of pure raw innate 'feeling and emotion' in guitar play. But as great as Jimi was, he wasn't gifted like Mick, to do the tremendous soaring production work Ronno left us with.
Ronson's absence from the rock hall of fame is all you need to know that the hall is a joke. He's similar to Jeff beck in that Ronson had a unique one-off musical sensibility.
Not saying you're wrong, cuz i don't know what he plays the solo on for certain, but plenty of ppl have Les Pauls with trems fitted. Either way, this scorches... \m/ (:o)
He just served the song, Ronno knew how good he was, every artist Ronno played with he only had to give 50% of himself, because that's all he needed...he had so much to give and then left us
This is what a Les Paul sounds like when it's played to perfection. The solo is amazing.
And we would give anything to see you too, Mick. RIP
I always think that when I listen to this. Love you Ronno
Mick was pure class and possibly one of the most underrated musicians of his time. Bowie owes this man a great deal! RIP Mick, we miss you!
A true hero. Can't he be cloned ?
Mick was Bowie's greatest collaborator.
@@KnoxBronson I disagree.
I could see him easily being in the running for the Stones' Black & Blue sessions and maybe getting it but Bowie's stamp was just too far from the Blues influence that Woody 'had' from the same starting point w/out going too far away from a reality the majority could appreciate.
@@tynebar You are entitled to your opinion.
He had magic hands and the heart of a true rocker. Sure do miss him...
I was lucky enough to meet Mick Ronson in the early 1980's, he was so humble and incredible polite - but then the real geniuses imn our life time usually are... Also feel lucky I got to see him play live once...
You are so very lucky you got to see him! How beautiful.
possibly Ronsons best track ever, and that;s saying something!!
Pure Pure class. Miss you Ronno 😢
No Ronno No Ziggy
- ... WHAT??
From 3:08 until 5:08 is about the best, most emotional two minutes of guitar playing that has ever been recorded.
originalmngsp , oh yes, absolutely! What an amazing song! So well composed, arranged and performed by
Mick Ronson. Awesome guitar!
sttgaegoaktd
agreed.
It's perfection.
He made the les paul sing and moan!
Could not agree more. That was incredible!
Makes me cry.
Joe Elliot just played this on Planet Rock, here in the uk. What a stunning song! The lead break is to die for! Mick was a superb player! RIP Mick... \m/
David you owed this man so much to your success
Without question.
No. Bowie wrote his songs himself
Bullshit
Simply the best guitarist I ever had the pleasure of seeing. An absolute genius. When Ronno played everyone took notice.
D'accord, just saw the last Ziggy concert in the movie theater, and Beck came on as a nice surprise, but I realised I'd rather hear HIM PLAY!! That's big!! Ya, he's a bit unsung for his talent I would say...at least we got him for a little while...

Perfection...truly..missed....R.I.P....Ronno.
There aren't words adequate to express how wonderful he was. The title of this song expresses my sentiments best. Thank you so much for the lovely montage of photos during the song.
Just incredible. Untouchable.
@Bintshovel The Mick was a hero to so many ! That guitar you praise is in a Connecticut music store !!!!!!
Just one more reason to appreciate the best decade of my youth. The 70's. No decade rocks like the 70's.
I agree 100% with you on that.
@@davidcopson5800 Nor ever will again.
RIGHT!!!
💯👍
This so great! Touches my soul. Mick we miss you!
20 years ago, 29 April 1993 Mick passed away in London. What a loss to music and a talent unfulfilled. RIP Ronno!
i think he fulfilled...just coulda gone longer.
67yr just discovered him super guitarists tone feeling he has it
Never to late to discover tunes and artists. I discovered the tune Sylvia by Focus.
Every note he played in his tragically short life said exactly what he wanted it to
love that les paul sound! grungy sweet and fat as hell.
I've recently turned 61, I've been listening to rock music since I was 9 years old! Ronno is my hero, I love many great guitar players, Page, Gilmour, Hendrix, but only Ronno can make me cry! God bless you mate, RIP🎸❤️
Manny Charlton from Nazareth is one of my favourites.
@@runetollefsen7458 Yes, I agree! I love classic Nazerath, Loud and Proud being my favourite album of theirs! 🎼🎸
I am 61 as well and those were the great years to rock and roll 🎸
Interesting. I’ve recently turned 62. And Mick makes me cry too! I thought it was just me. (He is not that famous in Brazil) Steve Ray Vaughan gives me a pain in the chest. It seems I will implode

One of only a handful who can make a les Paul cry.
EDIT: Thanks for pointing out it was his Tele.
Not a LesPaul in the studio.
Cheers, I didn’t know that.
I play a Les Paul, this has a thick humbucker sound ?
Only the best ones play on Gibson.
Great description man
WHAT A SOLO
He had such tone, you new his sound, that Les Paul sound😎
What a pearl! Thanks for share.
RIP Ronno! the best of the very best
20 years may have elapsed since his passing, but music such as this will ensure he lives forever. Superb solo. Thanks, Mick.
I special song. We love this guy. Come back mate.
Perfect perfection
God I miss Ronson! So underated and under appreciated. Sad, thats his legacy, after launching Bowie into Rock God status.
brilliant song , a les paul and mick ronson world beater !!
Tragically over looked he was more than just a phenomenal guitarist but a writer producer collaborator and never got the financial rewards for all of his work he helped build some others career and was robbed R.I.P. MICK AT THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY WITH THE OTHERS CHEERS MICK.
♥️♥️♥️♥️🌟🤟 super
WE MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH MICK
Rock on.. Ronson...too semper fi. .
Holy crap. This is COOL!!!
Lord Have Mercy! This cat is awesome.
@wildcatter63 True.
I recently discovered Mick a la spiders of mars. Pure genius mate...love your work
Ronno - simply the best........

Mick needed a loving, guiding soul. But they are not prevalent in the Satanic Music Industry.
HAIL SANTA
Bring back good music like this. Classic rock never dies. Mick is still the Boss.
Ronno´s solos have such a lot of feeling, The Melody Master.
maybe I'm wrong , but, I always thought Bowie sort of dissed you once his fame was well established, it was so obvious what you brought to the spiders from mars, wish you had all not broke up, but Mick your guitar playing is legendary, you always were and are the bomb, r.i.p. my good gentleman
Wow this is great!

I FEEL this.
He wasn’t a supporter of Bowie but his equal. Long Live Ronson ❤️🔥
Not heard this for a while - perfect playing.
Great Guitarist , arranger , all round musician 🙏
glorious.
This song is simply awesome !!!
Mick Ronson one of the greats R I P
I think Mick was truest to the empathy of The Blues. To the Heart.
Beautiful!
Amazing guitarist!!
Pure Quality !!
I've listened to this about 5 times back-to-back now. 6. 7. I...I...I think I got a problem guys.
Il est super beau
The SPIDER from MARS.
Love You Ronno x
He would've been 75 today. Happy Birthday Mick. I'd give anything to see you, right now, too. xx
Mick was a master...From Bowie to Dylan and others.One of my favorite musician who died to young.God Bless Michael Picasso...
Mick Ronson это теперь уже классика! Мы всегда будем его помнить.
His guitar playing shape the way guitars sounded in the 70’s , often copied but seldom equal
The most underrated, undervalued & underpaid guitar player.
I think it saddened Ronno that Bowie discarded him. Apparently he received less money than the session musicians that were on tour with them.😕
So Mick learned how to score, arrange & produce music, he was adept on the mixing desk too.

R.I.P.
Lou, Ronno & Bowie. ☆
Hull's finest.
No guitar effects, just straight into a cranked amp, beautiful!
And played with such "feeling"!!
i get the impression pearl jam were influenced by this sound.great track ,great man.
always be my guitar hero .
i still love hitting hit some of those ronson numbers on my les paul.
FIVE O CLOCK SAT MORNING WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN SAT WITH HEADPHONES LISTENING TO THIS ❤️❤️❤️
He's wearing a California Golden Seals NHL hockey jersey. A now defunct ...once NHL team.
I'd give anything to see you, right now xx rest in peace xx
Pure class badass no one plays like this man
SWEET!!! so smooth, sooooo beautiful..
Oi Suffragete. Bloody excellent. Many, many thanx for this. Such a bloody great solo from an underated guitarist.
CHEERS !!
Ronson was never about speed..Mick was able to convey 'feeling' and 'emotion'. This comes thru in his work as a producer. That ability is innate. It cannot be learned. Jimi Hendrix is prob the finest example of pure raw innate 'feeling and emotion' in guitar play. But as great as Jimi was, he wasn't gifted like Mick, to do the tremendous soaring production work Ronno left us with.
leonakita Ronno is my favorite guitarist of all time for that reason. That guitar is part of his soul!
My goodness, what a beautiful track. Accomplished singer, brilliant guitarist, soulful blues artist.
Hope someone could tell me the chords and guitar solo
Ronson's absence from the rock hall of fame is all you need to know that the hall is a joke. He's similar to Jeff beck in that Ronson had a unique one-off musical sensibility.
Ronno was the best and taken from this earth far too early. RIP.
RIP Ziggy!
that blew me away
Not saying you're wrong, cuz i don't know what he plays the solo on for certain, but plenty of ppl have Les Pauls with trems fitted. Either way, this scorches... \m/ (:o)
One of the best ever. Thank you for sharing that pearl!
for suzi and lisa...
Amazing guitar work .Dead too soon!
MICK WAS SO SO BEAUTIFUL 🥰 I DON'T THINK HE KNEW HOW BRILLIANT HE ACTUALLY WAS RIP 🦋 MICK RONSON MISS YOU ❤️🦋🌈
BEAUTIFUL. 💓❤️💖
He just served the song, Ronno knew how good he was, every artist Ronno played with he only had to give 50% of himself, because that's all he needed...he had so much to give and then left us
this track is brill
So good he was Mick Ronson♥️♥️♥️🌟special artist
Yet 3 don't like it...who the F@#K are these people????
