The Guitar composition was made by Robert Fripp. Dont drop it.
Ive already saw Frank Black and NIN playing Scary Monsters, which is not a surprise to me, cause many musicians love this song and album (ashes to ashes, its no game, etc ). Fans preffer other albums, but thats cool.
I love how frank rolls out in his blue jeans and keds onto a stage with Bowie reverting to a darker Ziggy and the freakshow that comes with it, I think I saw the phantom of the opera strolling off stage.
i like this guy on guitar the best since Mick Ronson. i like his stuff better than Earl Slick, or Fripp, even the late great SRV.,.. that is some f***n s**T, man, and Frank Black is welcome ANYWHERE as far as this fool here is concerned.
@IJustHitTheFan well yeah, and franks a pretty heavy guy.. probably doesnt have the energy like david bowie, who is a skinny guy who is big on on-stage theatrics.. where as the pixies / frank black is more of a bar band.. they dont play with theatrics, just go on and play.. so Bowie has the advantage on stage presence i guess
love it to death but yeah ... altho that guy's a great guitarist he should be a bit more tasteful ... he IS playing for Bowie after all not some crappy heavy metal band :p
David Bowie is a real genius. He could have won a place in history with only one of the albums released in the '70's. He had vision, he saw many things most artists saw many years later. He created a unique style, which was copied and is still being copied now by a lot of artists who don't even know they're copying a style. The pop world must worship him for all the eternity. In a ranking of the most influential pop artists he's no 3, after The Beatles and Andy Warhol.

This "Bowies" 50th birthday from Madison Square Garden kicks ass. I have it all on VHS. Copies are available for 3000 pounds UK. If you're wondering how much that is in American dollars... well, it's probably enough to fuck up your rent payment... about 1900 dollars US. The best thing to do is never buy into someone elses'nightmare... save your money and save your soul...
I thank you much for that correction and update. I still don't understand why it is not released on DVD... It's one of the best concerts I've ever seen....
yes this easily my favourite concert of all time...and i've got plenty. does ANYONE know where i can get hold of this 50th bday 1997 concert on dvd or even vhs? i'm hanging out for it. i had most of it on vhs years ago from tv but have mangaed to lose it. cheers, marcel (new zealand).
I like when Frank trust to imitate bowies accent

@Captlafl69 The guitarist is Reeves Gabrels from Tin Machine-I believe he remained in Bowie's band up until the "Hours..." album.
