        A guitarist whose skills are often shadowed by the magnitude of the albums he worked on, Mick Ronson is most noted for his work with David Bowie. He helped write the blueprint for punk rock with his jagged style of playing on the  Ziggy Stardust  album. He started with Bowie just before they began the sessions for  The Man Who Sold the World  and later became the centerpiece of Bowie’s Ziggy-era backing band, which he played with until Ziggy’s farewell show. His psychedelic garage rock roots gave sonic strength and raw power to the cosmic sound Bowie was looking to create at the time. His guitar solos had a sense of melody that you can sing every note to. As if playing with Bowie wasn’t enough, he went on to work with other legends such as Bob Dylan, Ian Hunter, Lou Reed, John Cougar Mellencamp and Morrissey.  Showtime NMC,1999 https://www.sendspace.com/file/dp0h16

        Longtime AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has recently has received more ink for threatening to kill a former employee and for possessing meth and weed than he has in all his 29 years of simple, rock-solid beats and immaculate timing. That's a shame, since Rudd's economic style and monster groove helped pave the way for the iconic band's stardom. One of the most consistent minimalists in hard-rock drumming, Rudd influenced a wave of international players from Rammstein's Christoph Schnieider to Kiss' Eric Singer. Rudd joined AC/DC in 1975, replacing Peter Clark, and played on seven studio albums before vocalist Bon Scott died from "death by misadventure." Following a bout with substance abuse and a physical altercation with rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, Rudd was fired in 1983. He returned to AC/DC in late 1993 and played on another four albums.   AC - DC   Live   Atco,1992 disc 1    https://www.sendspace.com/file/a9tzhg disc 2    h...

      At the center of the emotional tempest that is Fleetwood Mac, sturdy, empathetic John McVie has mixed old-school rock solidity and California smooth, grounding the band’s sound for five peerlessly even-handed decades. McVie got his start with John Mayall and Bluesbreakers in the mid-Sixties, and he transferred that bedrock drive to Fleetwood Mac (a band co-named for him), forming an unshakeable bond with fellow band namesake Mick Fleetwood in their jam-heavy Peter Green days that carried over into the high-flying Buckingham-Nicks era. Hits like “Go Your Own Way” and “Rhiannon” have a subtle toughness that stood out among the band’s laid-back L.A. peers — “You’re a monster, John,” Fleetwood exclaimed when listening to a playback of McVie’s “Go Your Own Way” lines  on  Rumours  — and it’s impossible to think of “The Chain” without getting that iconic McVie bass break stuck in your head.   JOHN McVIE'S ''GOTTA BAND'' With LOLA THOMAS Warner Bro...
