To me, Mick sounds a bit tentative about all this movie stuff. His real comfort zone was playing, singing, arranging, mentoring, but NOT as a front man. Still, this clip is a real time capsule. Suzi Ronson still looks great in 2010. 'Wish Mick was alive. He'd show those so-called musicians you see on MTV a thing or two!
that's Mainman press queen Cherry Vanilla who throws herself at Mick in the early part of the video...what a blast from the past..whoever has this must also have "Wayne County At The Trucks" from the MainMan vaults..that's Cherry doing the voiceover at the end as well
One of the best things I have ever seen on Youtube. I met him in his dressing room once and he signed my copy of the Slaughter LP, which I have framed.....what a legend, what a man...
Mick Ronson was just 1 of those dudes as we say that got ripped off. The list goes on. But Man he was one bad ass ax and a show man and stood 2 the side while others glammed in the light that was also ment for him.A true team player.One day when all the tards wake up and realize Man.that swaying - jamming skinny Fker was an Angel fingered prick from god.then we can all relax.cuz N*g you R not gona see the likes of him in your life time unless you live 4 ever.and brown boy that aint gonna happen!
I come from the same city from Mick "Hull" I got rated the best guitarist since Mick Ronson in the City, I met Mick when I was 3 and he said to my Dad that I will grow up to be a great musician. R.I.P Mick!!! We will always miss you xxx
I am a Yank. From Boston Mass USA. Might B hard to get over there, But I would like to - Some day. The music scene here is OK. And Your Welcome my friend. Keep Rocking Man !!!
Whenever I see and hear Mick, I get a lump in my throat - he was so natural and down-to-earth. That's probably why he didn't get the recognition he deserved. Play, Mick - you Don't have to Worry any more... You live on in our hearts and memories.
@8eatm0nster Problem is he was an extremely briiliant guitarist and arranger. People took ADVANTAGE of him too often. David Bowie was the biggest culprit, unfortunately. This seems to be an english trait. Luckily not for me, I was offered a deal and I told them to F**** off. I 'll set up my own company. No Sh*** deals here. RIP Mick man, I think the world of you!!
I saw his 1st solo gig at the rainbow theatre back in the 70s somebody nicked my vinyl of slaughter. It popped into my head the other day so thanx 4 this vid. I will be getting th cd soon. Nostalgia rules.
I'm with Oldox. Pity there's some queen bitchin' goin' on. Not a dot as entertaining as those guys who made the music. Go change your curtains & shut up! x
Well said Jayne , Lou told me Bowie took all the credit but Ronno wrote 95 percent of the actual music Bowie 5 percent and the lyrics but he took all the royalties Phil Wainman
Oh and a very sad sidenote. Bowie ignored Mick for YEARS untill he was laying in his death bed! He did the same thing to Cyrinda Foxx. Never lifted a finger to help her all those years. And she appeared in the Gene Genie video. Also Bowie makes like such a good friend of Cyrinda in his book of LIES! Cyrinda thought he was one big asshole and he was (is). The biggest phoney and thief on the planet. Not a nice person and I don*t care who the fuck gets mad at me!!! jayne county
Hi Jayne! Glad to see you here. First heard you on the Jubilee record in 1979. Tell me, do you know (personally) ANY "rock god" who is a normal human being? Seriously. Seems to me that regardless of how entertaining or inspiring they may be, they're all mad.
David didn't do anything to his half brother. As far as I know, Terry was in a mental hospital, Cane Hill and killed himself walking in front of a train. David would visit him and give him clothes and things. I knew someone who worked there.
He didnt go to Terry's funeral to my knowledge but did send flowers and a card with the words something like "you know more than any of us but all will be lost like tears washed away in the rain". I really dont know how many times he visited Terry but Pat had no time time for David. Anyway I love this Ronno album and still have it on 12", awesome stuff !
Oh my Isis! That*s me in the black wig. You can hardly make me out. I am also the prostitute in the black wig standing under the lamplight on the back of the lp. Leee Black Childers did the cover and Cherry Vanilla is in the video and did the voice over. A piece of rock history! WAYNE/JAYNE COUNTY
Shame on Mainman company - such a huge promotion, but they couldn't do a decent video. As a video, it's really poor - alas! As a little film starring charming fellow named Ronno - it's very much precious indeed.
Very cool - thanks.. I take it this is Mick Rock footage? It certainly looks like his work, and I see you've added his name as a Tag even though you don't mention him...
Ronson was a great guitarist/producer. Frankly, without him, Bowie's star would not have risen as it had. Admit it, David...
