“The thought of a larger-than-life rock determine struck me across the finish of 1970. For me, and several other of my pals, the Seventies had been the beginning of the Twenty First Century. The primary platform could be, aside from footwear, “We’re the longer term, now.” And the a technique of celebrating that was to create it by the one means at our disposal. With, in fact, a rock’n’roll band.” – David Bowie

“I’d actually draw out on paper with a crayon or felt tip pen the form of a guitar solo: the one in ‘Moonage Daydream’, as an illustration, began out as a flat line that turned a fats megaphone-type form and ended as sprays of disassociated and damaged strains. Mick Ronson might take one thing like that and truly bloody play it, convey it to life. Very spectacular. That’s what all of it seems like from method over right here. Very spectacular.” – David Bowie
