| I heard about this from Alan Starr yesterday and was pretty bummed.
I've enjoyed all of Mick's playing that I've heard.

| Awful news.
Mick Ronson was one hell of a guitar player. It's funny, people
associated him with the glam rock thing (extravegant dress, dyed blond
hair) and that maybe lead to him getting less adulation from the
critics than he might otherwise have had. But I don't think there were
many more versatile players in rock - great lead *and* rhythm, both on
electric and accoustic guitar. And am I dreaming or did he not play
some extraordinary piano on the title track to Aladdin Sane (I might be
mistaken, though)?
IMO, the record that really showcases his talents was Ziggy Stardust. I
always thought you could really hear the origins of rock n'roll (Jerry
Lee Lewis, Eddie Cochran...) in that record, especially in songs like
Sufragette City, Star, Hang On To Yourself (lovely solo). Great songwriting
by Bowie, as well.
A real "interpretative" (my own term) player too. Never heard him play
a solo that didn't sound well-structured and totally appropriate for the
chords underneath. No vague jamming from this man.
A very sad loss.

Wasn't he also playing e-bow guitar on 'All the Young Dudes' behind Ian
Hunter at the Freddie Mercury Memorial concert ?

Yes, that was him. He played on both the songs Bowie sang on at that
show. Had a *cool* tone too!

| did he play the guitar solo in the fade-out of "All the Way From
Memphis"? That's one of my personal faves; it kind of rises out
of the muck and soars away.

He did play with Hunter on 'All The Young Dudes', but the song he used the
E-bow on was David Bowie's "Heroes"....

| re: .6
Nope, the "Memphis" rideout is the *other* Mick, founding Mott/Bad Co.
member Mick Ralphs. One of my favorites amongst less-famed players.
Even better was his stuff on the Mott cover of "Sweet Jane".
