The Truth About Mick Ronson (1946 - 1993)

The Truth About Mick Ronson (1946 - 1993)
Beneath the glitter and Bowie-kissed fame, Mick Ronson was a paradox: a classically trained maestro weaving rock 'n' roll magic, a shy Yorkshire lad thrust into the flamboyant heart of glam. His fingers, once nurtured by Bach, his arrangements sculpting Bowie's alien persona from Ziggy's stardust and the Spiders' electrified pulse. This is the tale of a guitarist who became more than Bowie's foil, but a sonic architect, a reluctant star, and a whisper that echoes ever louder through rock's tapestry, long after the curtain fell on Ziggy's final act.

I don't think he ever appreciated how great he was, as people don't anyway when you're in the throes of it," Maggi Ronson says of her brother. But you don't have to be family to appreciate Mick Ronson.
Take the words of one of the people who was there when he made his reputation as one of rock's most vivid and charismatic guitarists, the producer Tony Visconti: "Mick was sullen and cautious on the day David and I met him, not really sure of what he was getting himself into. Soon after, his guitar playing completely captivated us and his northern humour had us in stitches. For me, I expected this man to become a guitar hero."

Mick Ronson was a guitarist with a sound like no other. Between 1970 and 1974, he was the musical genius behind David Bowie's greatest run of albums, The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, and Pin Ups. Not only did he play guitar, he wrote the arrangements, baroque soundscapes that perfectly complemented Bowie's vision.

An interview with Zakk Wilde sent me here. Never heard of Ronson but Zakk is right Randy emulated this guy head to toe from the haircut to the Les Paul!

[TzebbLIsla]

Fun fact. Mick Ronson was one of Randy Rhoads few idols. Randy loved his style and he also got the polka dot theme from Mick when seeing him on a magazine with polka dot pants on

[michaelmanger]

Mick was the genius behind many of Bowies spiders days. ✌🏽❤️💛🖤🎶🇦🇺

[Hitemwhereithurtss]
