I wish there were a few more guitarists like him around. Such a great guitar player.

I used to have "Slaughter On 10th Avenue" but I let a friend borrow which he never returned. Damn thief ! I would like to listen to it about right now. I did like the album, and I love Ronson's playing. He had flair with flash, dramatic's and style ! R.I.P. Mick !

I live blocks from Berklee School of Music=daily churns out players who could technically "destroy" Mick (&..remember in those pre-VanHalen speeddemon days.. guys like Zappa etc could play circles around him quantity-wise & pallete-wise) but..just like Paul Kossoff=wrote simple killer riff 2 All Right Now in his teensthat lives forever..Mick had incredible taste,his playing less is so much more. so lyrical & tells a story w/his instrument &..just like a singer.. his held notes & vibrato kill me

@milolovesmusic =Uwere blessed to have shared time with one of the greats...& while it is not required that great artists be also lovely, down to earth people w/the gift of humility (I can still like an artist's work even if they were a personal nightmare) but it adds to the joy of experiencing their evocative, touching work to feel that the "heart" in their work emanated from a real non-flawless but seemingly deep & soulful person. Same w/ say Geo. Harrison.Lovely version of pedestrian original

[Count22]

...such a quiet genius,when so much was going on around him.He left his mark *with Hunter,Reed and especially David Bowie.Why he hasnt paid him the proper credit is beyond me...."C,mon Bowie"

There would be no Bowie without this guy."And you know this".

[pontello3]

fantastic!!!!!!

[molyanjm]

There's a great version of this he did with the Ian Hunter Band on the "Welcome to the Club" live album.

Is Simon Cowell leading us down the road to..........................wh­impering vegtables

[laungdog]

get a copy of slaughter put it on at max volume that your ystem can handle and drift away. In my opinion best rock instramental ever. He also was a genuinely nice guy, That comes from experience but that is personal

[glamrockkidz]

still brilliant...after all these years!!

[ianhunterfan]

I have loved his work since I was 12 and I am now 50.yeowzaaaaa!!!

[jacknuts22]

You people are goofy.... This is one of the worst piles of shit I have ever heard.

[hdrake1000]

Mick Was the Backbone of The Bowie sound in the Ziggy Era, I go back and listen even now and am even more amazed! Especially Ziggy, Mans Who Sold The World and Hunky Dory! He's handsome and also had a great stage presence that really kind of intimidated Bowie. It great he went with Ian Hunter after Bowie disbanded the Spiders. I have Slaughter on 10th Ave. and Play Dont Worry and Heaven and Hull. I miss him!!!

[FaceSpaceTV]

Very Cool

[mottthehoople684]

thanks for posting...I saw Mick play...a real artist....he went too young.

[minutegongcoughs]

@mottthehoople684 I've been agreeing with everyone today But none more so than your comment.

[1989SFV]

Yeah, I had the honor of seeing him a few of times.. RIP@mottthehoople684 

[1989SFV]

Thx for the post man I really enjoyed it. RIP MICK > So underrated.

[alexdroogie100]

Ronno is more God than Clapton ever was or will be!

[marrrkeeee]

Amazing choice of music from that era. Mick was a real composer and arranged rock like no one then, Tnx.

[wxz1996ify]

i think that mick has been the best guitarist of the world

[VIDEOFREAK076]

very cool tune

[nethaeleth]

hey hey now. that's not saying much for ian !

[jst1674]

As a fan of Bowie's from the beginning I became aware of the great guitarist he had with Mick Ronson. Needless to say when he recorded his solo album I ran to get it, not to be disappointed either. It had tasty tidbits like this song and others just teasing us with his abilities. The world lost another great guitarist they day Mick passed away, may he rest in peace.

[glamrockkidz]

yes Iam glad I grew up in this period. I was at the Rainbow Theatre when he did this tour-Magic number this is , also love Music is Lethal

Thanks for the Memory Mick

[laungdog]

try to find the vinyl rare album but great, he should be in the hall of fame, and his wife is pushing for it. Let give her some support

[monsednoch]

mick was the coolest

an old army mate showed me this stuff in the early 80's. Thanx to jeff

[laungdog]

lets help her out

Mick should be in. the Who sucked as expected

[San5a]

great I've got this one! It's always great to see how great musicians get away with their songs in live!

[BagmanBarney1]

Everyone just wants to fly through the frets now, but it's wicked to hear the note by note of a real talent. We had some excellent music in the '70s...Glad I grew up then:)

[jst1674]

@BagmanBarney1............you are right, it seems to some that is speed that rules, but it what each and every note can sing/do! Some have mastered the technique of making less sound like a lot more like Mick could. David Gilmour is another one that comes to mind that does the very same thing!!

[vsu5]

So glad to hear this. Mick was/is the Best!

[minutegongcoughs]

Indeed. Mick's wife said he was born with that extra something. Would liked to of seen The Rats back in the sixties but too young. He arranged a lot of David Bowie's songs and deserves a higher profile.

[vsu5]

Yeh, Mick was a very talented musician and arranger. He could play most stringed instruments but I'm so glad that he chose the guitar! That riff on Moonage Daydream, which I've heard literally hundreds of times, makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck! Don't think that Mick ever got enough credit for what he did for Bowie.

[mottnianhunter]

Never heard this: thanks for posting. Sounding good as ever Ronno!

[minutegongcoughs]

Hi, It's on the "Slaughter" re-issue cd as a bonus track.
