So true!! LOL!!!

@@beachcomber4141 No crap. Beck was putting on a guitar clinic and the camera was focused on Ronson playing rhythm. RIP, Jeff.

I had Tickets to See Bowie in 1990 and didn't go. But You Missed out More the Spiders were in another League to Tin Machine

Yeah right 😂😂😂

And Trevor Bolder Too 😢

Beck and Bowie were a lot alike in that they kept changing themselves. Bowie would change his entire persona while Beck would constantly change his guitar style. Neither one ever resting on their laurels.

True, JK. Bowie was the ultimate Rock chameleon.

Cheers. Will do Pete Woodroffe Music UK

On opposite day

And I think Beck was still using a pick, when he went to the Strat it was all fingers and Whammy Bar

@@jennifersman7990 i think u r right but you can still hear Jeff in those licks ... article i read many years ago Jeff said he always had a tele laying around but kept losing his picks and finally said fuck it and just played with his fingers

He did. In a kinda-sorta way. By taking under his wing, & touring with, a band by the name of Mott the Hoople in '71, which Ronson became a member of after his split with Bowie in '73. Bowie wrote their highest charting song. ('72. 'All the Young Dudes'. Pre-Ronson) Ian Hunter also recognized Ronson's talent. After the the demise of the Hoople in late '74/early '75, the two collaborated on each other's solo efforts. Ronson remained Hunter's guitar player on tour & in the studio, until he passed in '93. IMHO, that Hunter/Ronson collaboration allowed Ronson to be able to express himself more freely than under the guidelines that The Spiders had to adhere to in accordance to Bowie's vision. Still...he was/is so-o-o under-rated.

@@sewlow58 I saw an interview on late night TV with Bowie and when asked about Ronson, Bowie responded something along the lines of Bowie was disappointed in Ronson that he never made it huge. Something like he certainly had the talent (without a doubt!) but he never really went for it. I am not doing a great job at paraphrasing here, but I found it interesting that Bowie felt that way. It is questionable that Bowie would have become BOWIE without Ronson.

If you read Mick's autobiography you will read about 4 times DB tried to get Mick involved in various tours but, Mick turned him down each time preferring to play the smaller, more intimate, club shows of the Hunter/Ronson tours versus a big tour in front of thousands on a grueling World Tour with Bowie. Of the 4 offers that I thought would have been the most interesting to experience was 1990's Sound & Vision tour where Bowie went back to basics doing his back catalog with just a small band, Ronson was his first choice, after he turned it down, Adrian Belew was his 2nd choice and the rest, as they say, is history. I was happy that DB & Mick were back working together the year before Mick's passing and appeared on each others solo albums around this time, Heaven and Hull & Black Tie, White Noise. The fact that they were working together made it easier for Bowie & Ian Hunter to get him to agree to appearing at the Freddie Mercury Benefit Show. This would be the last time he performed in public and how fitting to play with both Bowie and Ian Hunter in front of millions around the Globe via satellite, a fitting send off for an exceptional musician. 🎸⚡👩‍🎤💜

@@michaelabbott516 NICE!!!!

No he did the right thing. Ronson wouldn't have been able to play on Young Americans, Station to Station or Low.

Yes it would

LOL!! Right?!?! KZfaq banned a comment I made on a Hendrix link (Rainbow Bridge) that I wanted to burn the cameraman alive for shooting the audience while Jimi was playing this mind altering solo. Every now and then they got it right, but most of the time they didn't!

Isn't that a trip!

And you know rock and roll heaven has a hell of a band!

Same night. Beck said he didn’t know the gig was being filmed & vetoed his performance.

Ronson is not in the same league as Jeff beck

Are you serious??? HE DID!!!!!!!

LOL! I almost commented the same thing!
