Mick Ronson - Heaven & Hull Promo

[ronnogold]

Thanks for posting this. I'm such a huge fan of Mick's. It's almost hard to watch for me because the sense of loss in losing him is so heavy. But I thank God that we had him as long as we did, and that he was sent here with such amazing talent and as an amazing human being as well. Rest in peace, Mick. You'll always be remembered and missed here. There won't be another like you.

Mick Ronson was an absolute dedicated guitarist, a genius and still a nice and humble guy. Heaven and Hull is a great album, as are Micks other solo albums. His song Life On Mars (totally different words and music as the Bowie song with same title!) is fun and great. My most favorite Mick-song is 'Rather Be Me'. Mick is a great songwriter too. There's only a demo of that song but it could be a big hit. I hope Bowie will ever sing it. Mick...we'll never forget u; u're immortal in ur music legacy.

WOW--it's sad to see Mick as he was dying, all thin and gaunt but then the Ziggy stuff pops up and he's the Mick we remember. Ian at the 5:35 mark is priceless. Never saw that before. Mick really never got his due, his peers knew he was a genius but.....Love ya Ronno

[MrPeteLewis]

Beautiful video. I can say no more...!

[fearevil]

I myself live in Hull myself went to see Mick last week at east Hull cemetery. Couldnt find him at first lol but after a little help I found him, spent 2 hours at his grave playing his songs. To all you Mick lovers, Come to Hull and pay him some respects!

The biggest Mick Ronson copycat was Randy Rhodes to some extent I love both styles and miss them alot.

[lynnieenglish]

oh how i miss mick, lovely, sweet, timid, vibrant! 1988 he was the best man in my wedding, tavern on the green, nyc, he spent honeymoon night with us in hotel room, eating room-service fried chicken, champagne & a bit of coke - till dawn. he headed back to woodstock, we drove to nashville. lovely memories, lovely, gorgeous man... happy mick got together with our friends to do heaven & hull before he left us... xxx

[rocktenniscat]

This really IS a fabulous album. Best version of "Like a Rolling Stone" ever. So many great tracks. You are missed, Mick, by SO many people.

[s1d10we]

Statue for Mick would be great. Heaven and Hull is a brilliant album. My favourite track is Colour Me. I play it on a loop every day on my way to work at the moment! R.I.P Mick.

[kulz59]

I met Mick and Ian at a record store in Detroit around '76.

[mrjoelumple]

[SnapDex]

[minutegongcoughs]

Mick's words early on are also on the '74 tour flexi disc, which was inside the tour brochure.

[h2ofield]

Love the song 'Don't Look Down'.

Mick Ronson makes me proud to be a guitarist in Hull. R.I.P

[moondog102]

They should put a statue up of him in town somewhere.

[fearevil]

Damn right!! That Memorial on Queens Gardens doesn't even show a picture of him! I demand they at least put one up lol

Sad to see him ravaged by that awful illness 3minutes into to this, I've just lost 3 close friends to cancer all in their 40s.

I donate to cancer charities 5 days a week, wish we could beat it once and for all !

[ziofagio]

[ronbo11]

I dig that his mates did right by him in this interview. He was a beloved figure and his like is hard to find anymore! RIP Mick.

RIP MICK RONSON, HULLS HERO!

[mrjoelumple]

ye your fukin rite there mate ,hull music at its best!!!!

[RonoAndrews]

Mick never dies

[dhanes55]

As a MAJOR fan of his, and a nurse, I can see how very ill he was in the interview section. What an amazing man, and an incredible musician. Met him in 1979 when he and Ian played Detroit. I was "floored" to say the least! One of the most beautiful men I've ever laid eyes on!

[plantagenant]

Bowie was never as good as when he had Ronson as his sideman.

[mrjoelumple]

my dad used to go 4 cups ov coffee with mick ronson

[bass234]

so true. bowie needs a good wingman to be great

[springycfc123]

Thanks for that,the man was a genius!!

[SouthpawSatch]

My dad wants to say.... " Ronno was a hero of mine I always wanted to be Ronno not Bowie. I first saw him live on the last Ziggy tour in 73. On the first Hunter-Ronson tour I saw him in Birmingham U.K. and then travelled down to the Hammersmith, London on holiday Monday. We met him when they turned up for the soundcheck. On the night he dedicated Slaughter on 10th....to us,what a memory. I still treasure his autograph and I'm 50 yrs old. RONNO we still miss ya !

[spizzenergi]
