@@Jay-anti-dad-bod Yeah I love how he just randomly breaks into a solo to startle the audience a little. I saw them in 2013 for the first time with Reeves. It was like they had Jimmy Page in the band.
I loved Tin Machine so much back then. For so many reasons: 1. Bowie 2. "Under the God" is (IMHO) one of a handful of songs from the 80's that not only sounds pretty fresh in 2023, it's super effing relevant. 3. Soupy Sales; if you don't know who he is/was. I don't really know how to explain him to the world outside of the U.S.A. in the 60's and 70's. He was already a legendary comedian by then, but he seemed pretty much ubiquitous to me. He seemed able to communicate with children better than say anyone other than Fred Rogers. I loved that guy when I was a kid. So far, I haven't heard of any horrible skeletons in the closet. 2 of Soupy's kids were in this band. Soupy supported me as a child, I'll pass it back to his kids. 4. Reeves Gabrels - I don't know why he isn't in more conversations about great guitarists, other than he was in an "alternative" band in the early days of the "Alternative" marketing label. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'd be jamming to "Tin Machine" in my car the same week I'd be going to see Pantera. There was an abundance of "Guitar Gods" back then, too many trees in that forest.
I know!!!! When I found that out, I was like WHAT! But, you know what? He’s gotta eat. And in the case of the Cure, it pays. He’s probably the musical director in the Cure. Just like he was with his tenure in Bowie.
He used to write a column in a guitar magazine in the early 90s and he always had new tricks for us. I see him using one here. He sands the back of his guitar picks down so they have a rough edge. At one point he flips the pick around and uses the rough edge on the strings like a little violin bow. It's a cool sound.
Yes! I loved that column and still reference things from it. It was the stand-out among the bunch because instead of tabs of scales and riffs with lots of music theory (not that there's anything wrong with that), Reeves would write essays referencing everything from Bugs Bunny cartoons to avant garde musicians to ancient literature that anticipated the invention of recorded sound and effects processing. I wish I had saved all those issues of "Guitar for the Practicing Musician" from his run on there. Those deserve to be posted online somewhere. He was full of brilliant consciousness-raising ideas, as is evident in his playing and even the compositions themselves.
@@alexplorer I gave all my guitar magazines to some jerk I knew and lost about 100 autographs which I had stuffed into an envelope and stuffed into the stack of magazines. These were had legendary autographs too. Sux.
Celui qui a fait ce montage - je le remercie - a tout compris de DB et de Reeves. N’oublions pas le batteur et la bassiste… ils/elles sont formidables!
Ça vole très haut autour de Bowie !!!!! Gabrel performe dans sa fenêtre, Dorsey et le batteur , tous tous, jouent comme des dieux !!! Et Zeus David Jones fume et sourit …. Mon plus grand regret e fan : jamais été dans un concert de Bowie. I’m such a fool.
Amazing that he went from this all out shredding with Bowie to such minimalism playing with the Cure now. A real guitar purist.
You hear this style in his guitar solo with the cure on edge of the deep Greek sea

Amazing he was using Roland VG-8 system here
He made me think a Parker Fly and guitar synth was cool, seems unthinkable today.
@@admbrnk3665 why wd that be unthinkable?
There’s another version of this solo that I,love the most.
Thank YOU👊🏼
Unbelievable how bad the director was on these clips, WHEN REEVES IS PLAYING KEEP THE SHOT ON HIM! It's simple!
