Believe it or not, that was a great drum lesson by Ansley Dunbar in how to power play a ballad, especially with those left-handed fills. Love his playing. Great band.
@GibsonRedSpecial Do you know this? I'm not doubting you, I'm just interested to know if that's really how it happened. The drummer here--Aynsley Dunbar--is my all-time favorite rock drummer, but I've always been interested to know the circumstances under which he replaced Woodmansey, whom I've always liked a lot, as well. Thanks.
@GibsonRedSpecial Thanks. It makes sense when you listen to the subtle change from the Ziggy / Spiders album material to the Alladin Sane and Diamond Dogs songs, which I think fit Dunbar's super-hard drumming perfectly. His nickname, after all, was "The Beast." I still love Woody W, of course. Anyway, thanks again.
This is Major Tom to Ground Control I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today For here Am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles I'm feeling very still And I think my spaceship knows which way to go Tell my wife I love her very much she knows" Ground Control to Major Tom OMG Bowie!!! I cry (J_J)
I've seen this intercut with footage of the rocket taking off. It's nice to see the whole thing! I love the close up of him strumming towards the beginning, and his smile right afterwards, at 1:30, is priceless.
Look for Mick's solo album "Slaughter On 10th Avenue"...amazing and too much of a secret.
