+Rob Spratt Wow, what am I looking at? is this a doc thats coming out, looks brilliant... beyond cool. Not sure why I haven't heard about this yet?

@rspratt 8 лет назад

+Nick Jago You're looking at outtakes of interviews that were recorded for a documentary but were never used

@SirBiggle 3 года назад

What was the documentary was this a take out from?

@Bricameron 4 года назад

I love the juxtaposition between Carlos and Earl.

The way Alomar says "funky" always puts a smile on my face.

@heavymeddle28 5 лет назад

One of Bowie's big strengths must have been to always seem to find the right musicians for different projects

@ivankaramasov 3 года назад

Yes, and his other strength was that he allowed the musicians great freedom and was always open to suggestions.

Earl and Carlos were there. And on stage. Knew Golden Years would be a hit the first time I heard it. Like Heroes song too.

@BIGeSTRING Год назад

Such a great funky guitar riff, or i can better say, one of the many nice Bowie guitar riffs

@nikonezna879 8 лет назад

Mind you, I think Bowie was just messing with Carlos when he said he'd never heard of 'On Broadway' - Bowie improvises a snatch of it at the end of the song Aladdin Sane.

@jhorton4791 6 лет назад

On first listen, that's what I thought Carlos was saying, too. But now I think he just meant that Bowie said, "No, it's not the same thing."

@nikonezna879 5 лет назад

Carlos is careful not to take too much credit. Great player. Saw them both on the Let’s Dance tour.

@paolacelletti2056 3 года назад

Carlos and Earl are two true legends, two golden guitars. They manage to make David's songs magical and unforgettable just like this one, which is mind-boggling stuff ...

@curtmanners1182 Год назад

I like the chord progression at the turn around. It's real easy to play both guitar parts at the same time.

@@rspratt it absolutely was NOT Carlos Alomar. I mean Carlos Alomar did the easy strumming parts. That’s all he ever does. Earl Slick does the cool riffy parts. anyone can contribute to Wikipedia. Whoever wrote that didn’t know what the hell what they’re talking about.

@richardclark6858 2 года назад

Lol, did they get publishing?

@jocomend 7 лет назад

Great, but they did not WRITE the song... same techniques were also applied with different levels of success on a numbert of not so brillant [or bad] songs... at the end it's a collaboration, collective work, but some views tend to underestimate the participation of the COMPOSER which is sick... fortunatelly there is a law for that.

@rspratt 7 лет назад

As you say, it's a collaboration. Without the song to begin with, there's not much for the musicians to do; but without the world-class musicianship that helps to shape them, the songs wouldn't have ended up half as good. And let's not forget the producer's role, too.

@Peakabike 4 года назад

Guess Bowie had the talent and the name recognition to attract the proper help ! Could have been a bit more liberal with co-writing credits too !

@randyt60 7 лет назад

I gotta say I'm a little confused. The opening of this song with the riff is clearly played on a Clavinet. Did they use a Guitar Synth or something?

@rspratt 7 лет назад

It's Earl Slick on guitar so it must be effects we're hearing

Earl comes up with everything? Hard to believe, he seems a bit arrogant

@gurzair998 2 года назад

He does and it isn't and HE isn't. He does have personality but arrogant isn't the word I'd use. In this profession, and a player of his stature you have to have a bit of that, "I can certainly do the job" for you attitude.
