On this Carlos Alomar interview, meeting David Bowie, and why he left Bowie… growing up with a father who was a Pentecostal minister and the wisdom & openness Carlos gleaned from this relationship… working with Chuck Berry, Iggy Pop (and his incredible power), Mick Jagger, Gloria Gaynor and others… thing he’s proudest of, why you should never “Disturb the groove,” thinking like 3 guitar players, not one… golf, Greece, puppets, smiling, and why, “If you can’t explain it, you can’t defend it!” One of the smartest performers and most naturally happy people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, this is a MUST listen!

How come Carlos hasn’t aged? Lovely guy and as important to Bowie’s success as anyone else.

@DudeSilad

I met Carlos at a Bowie convention. He's one of the most remarkable people I have ever met. I'm not religeous but if Carlos had told me to shave my hair and wear an orange robe I'd have done it! He's got this amazing aura and you are just transfixed to him when he speaks. He emanates niceness.

@rjames396

Not so much an interview...more a lecture/tutorial from a zen master, not just about music,but a whole attitude to life and communicating with the people you meet in life..totally brilliant

@reethkitchards

I’ll say this one more time…the greatest guitarist and most honest, ever. May he live another 100 years.

He is wrong about the Spiders, they recorded everything in one or two takes.

@kymmazelle8424

Brilliant 👏🏾 I didn't know how much Carlos has contributed to this industry. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 I met and hung out with him his wife Robin and their daughter. ❤ family man. 🎸🎸🎸🎙🎙🎶🎙

I played in a nursing where I worked “yes we have no bananas” The elders came alive and sang it knowing the words then went back to dementia staring into space. Music is emotional anchor.

What a egoless Soulman. Bowie is & we are proud to be blessed by such a spirit in Carlos. ✌️💛 a good happiness stuff.

@ElJuanSolo

Totally underrated guitarist that gets overlooked for how influential and great he’s been during his career and specially his performances with Bowie. Kind of how many people don’t talk enough about Davey Johnstone’s career with Elton John.

I saw him on many David Bowie tours since 1974. Supreme talent & even his speaking voice sounds musical. Stay Shiney Mr. Alomar!

@Jack-2day

I’m 63 and have been listening to Carlos riffs all my life and had no idea. Fame, Lust for life, Golden years, Heroe’s etc etc. Damn lol

@bertbecker7532

70 going on 30…saw him on the Serious Moonlight and Glass Spiders Tour, what a positive guy.

@josjanssen6733

My first experience with Alomar was when i watched Bowie and his band at the German "Musikladen" performing "Stay". There was this great guy Adrian Belew stealing the show that made my musical heart sit up and jump with joy. So much fun. And later in the song, it began to dawn on me that my joy was really coming from the great "groove" that was the basis. I started looking at Mssrs Davis, Murray and Alomar. They were more in the back. But really carrying the event! It taught me to look beyond the obvious in music. I began to explore David Bowie's albums. And slowly began to realise how Carlos Alomar was the genius in the back. And now i see the interview. What a giant!

When I was 16 I saw Bowie at the civic Arena Pittsburg in 78 and was greeted at the gate by Dennis Davis Carlos Alomar and Simon House.during the intermission Carlos and most of the band stepped off the stage and mingled with the crowd. I wish I wasn't so shy back then...this man

@racerx1189

I was born in Ponce so I have that connection to this great artist and son of Puerto Rico. Que viva la musica! 🇵🇷

@cnilecnile6748

I got a phone call from Carlos around 1989, asking me to go on tour for 6 weeks in Australia with Debbie Gibson as her opening act's guitar player-Tiffany, lol.

@julianterris

Carlos Alomar, Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Mick Ronson; Bowie chose the best. Carlos' smile and positivity are infectious ~and he's the sweet-talking son of a preacher.
