Uwe, it's a joke. Don't analyse it.
Just laugh.

When Mick Taylor left the Stones around 1975, Mick Ronson (who had been fired by Bowie prior to Diamond Dogs, the album)was rumoured to be his replacement (a third Mick in the Stones!). It never happened, but Ronson would have been a great fit in the Stones, both musically and visually.

Ronson might have legitimised the various nods they made to glam rock during that period? I'm not sure it would have been the best fit; Keef's razorwire chunk versus Mick's cello-like singing sustain and guitar 'orchestration' might have been a tough match. It would have been interesting though! I'm not sure Mick would have looked degenerate enough? Part of the Stones' look during the '70s is that wasted charm, whereas Ronson seems a bit more esoteric and whimsical? Still, it might have worked as I understand Taylor left because they weren't being purist blues enough?

That vid wasn't even serious in its original form. The Stones btw were another great influence on Bowie, Diamond Dogs (the song) and Rebel Rebel are both consciously written as Stones homages. You can hear the Brown Sugar on Bowies mind when listening to Diamond Dogs.

When Mick Taylor left the Stones around 1975, Mick Ronson (who had been fired by Bowie prior to Diamond Dogs, the album)was rumoured to be his replacement (a third Mick in the Stones!). It never happened, but Ronson would have been a great fit in the Stones, both musically and visually.

I love Bowie's version of Let's Spend the Night Together. And Ronson in the Stones? That would probably have gotten me interested in them.

Have we seen this one before? Even if we have, worth watching again.

Great band, have all their stuff.

I hadn't heard of New York Junk before frontman Joe Sztabnik sent me a friend request on FB last week. Really like their stuff!

You can see the Melody Maker here but it's buried in the mix

And I accepted b/c I saw you were a mutual friend. He must know something about us.  :)

Not bad, but the mix is waaaaay too vox-forward.  He's not that good a singer (not bad, but no diva), but miles above everything else and dry as a bone.

The second live vid is better in that regard.

Who could ever forget Frank J Wilson and his boys? On the other hand, if you did, you're forgotten. It's hard to follow someone who's trying to follow someone to "The Other Side". But still, the band included an Eb0, at least for a while. Until it, at some point, vanished. Also, I'm prepared to say.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh4se9YMV3A

Though Wilson and his pals didn't only look for what was gone, remember! They looked forward too, which is easy to understand when you look at one of the European copys of Last kiss. http://www.45cat.com/record/45stu42201
Yes, bass, and guitar, is of the Fire- and Thunderbird stock!

Tbird and Firebird aside, I'd like to forget J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers. Last Kiss was so overplayed, and I just hated teenage death songs.

Although he didn't quite make it to age 50, he was married eight times.

A bit off topic, but this one gotta be there, while mentioning morbid tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0N4nyYS5aA

We ought to remember this one, as well:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8UKf65NOzM

Of course The Shangri-Las, a classic!

Do doublenecks count?

There was a time - late seventies - when Barclay James Harvest absolutely ruled Germany, their Gone to Earth album from 1977 stayed in the German charts for nearly four years, making it one of the most popular albums in Germany ever. They had constant sell-out tours, huge gigs (with The Police and Dire Straits as opening acts), a chain of hit singles, radio power play, you name it. Everybody's favorite whimp rock/light proggies.  :mrgreen: Critics hated them and no one actually admitted to liking them, yet there were just way too many album sales (a million of Gone to Earth in Germany alone at a time when you went gold with 50.000) for all those people claiming that they did not listen to them to actually tell the truth  ;D, a real closet guilty pleasure!

Yes, I remember liking Gone to Earth too (where Hymn, the two chord - G and D - first track above, is from), but then lost track of what they did other than their general ubiquity at the time.
