Bowie's 50th B-day concert at Madson Square Garden.....Reeves' guitar on Scary Monsters is just unbelievable. Not many guys could produce a sonic attack like that.
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Griffin Nathan thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Those 2 albums were so far out there while being so "familiar" sonically. Maybe it was the Sales Brothers keeping it grounded, or whatever, but for anybody else those would be a career defining high point. For David they were just a side project (not to him personally, but in the public evaluation of his career) If you want to learn what your instrument is capable of, go to Tin Machine and Allan Holdsworth
Of all the guitarist that wrote with Bowie, Reeves is my favorite. I thought Earthling was brilliant and still do. Reeves had such a wild and large distortion on that album that it seemed like a wild animal trying to get loose. Its like he knew exactly when to use it and when to tame it. I think he brought out some amazing stuff in Bowie. I'd love to see a rig rundown of those Earthling years.
Actually went to Japan to Discunion last year saw TM2 in SHM-CD kinda spendy, didn't really know what I was getting. Got home put it in my home stereo, and holy cow, does that sound simply amazing... my introduction to Tin Machine
This guy helped save rock & roll for me. That first Tin Machine album, released in the thick of all of that late-80’s butt-rock, was a breath of fresh-air.
I met this guy in Boston during the eighties as I was taking bass lessons from the bassist in the band he was in at the time, Life on Earth!- Matt Groenberg.
Oops sorry- met u in Watertown, thinking 1980? I know u married a woman from the Christian Science Monitor, I dated a woman- a few later from the same place! (not the same woman)
I still remember to this day the shockingly innovative solos Reeves would play when he was with Pleasure Pointe live at the Rat in Kenmore Square in Boston. The crowd of fans were all friends of the band, sitting in the front and drinking $2.00 martinis from plastic cups. That venue was so funky, but damn -- the music was fantastic! And the kitsch and gorgeous backup singers (jazz vocalists from Berklee!) wearing Catholic schoolgirl outfits added to the general entertainment and stage antics. Reeves, remember those fun gigs?
Reeves is such a great electric guitarist. And he is just one of a long line of people who worked with Bowie give him credit for helping their careers along with Iggy, Tine Turner, etc....
Such a pleasure to hear him play and talk ! So wise ... Tin Machine (followed by 1.Outside and Earthling) were definitely the best eras ! And I think Reeves Gabrels is a maaaaaajor reason for that !
My all time favorite guitar solo is Reeves Gabrels solo over "Looking for Sattelites" on the Earthling album. For some reason I was led to believe that Bowie "dumped" Reeves prior to recording the Heathen album, and that Gabrels was furious at him for it. I guess that was all BS, and I'm not sure where I heard that. I'm very happy to know that isn't the truth as I for one for disappointed when he stopped playing with Bowie, may he rest in peace..
Yeah, that solo is just unbelievable, how it starts off with lower notes and slowly gets higher and higher until it's just freaking the fuck out, amazing!!
There were similar rumours about Hutch, but I think people liked to sensationalise all of Bowie's friendships after he left the Spiders in such an abrupt fashion.
I don't know I think it was Reeves choice and maybe just maybe Bowie wasn't happy about it. At once concert someone in crowd said "where's Reeves" and Bowie said sarcastically "He has his OWN band now" though sarcasm is hard to interpret. I think there have been other interviews where Reeves said he didn't feel good about direction things were taking with Hours and it was time for him to depart.
Tin Machine through Hours is such a interesting time especially sonically and lyrically but Gabriel definitely helped Bowie make some great music That solo on Looking for Satellites on Earthling is brilliant which stands out as my favorite one
Saw them in El Lay. David was soooo happy and chilled, the rest of the band escapes my memory. Funny that, because on LP the band sticks in my mind more than David. Seeing him was equivalent emotionally to seeing a whale spout 100 yards offshore at Patricks' Point, or a huge black bear cross my path and lead the way in front of me for a quarter mile along a trail in Kings Canyon
Getting hit w/ the Tin Machine playing at an airport video on network TV had a, this can't be real kind of impact. That kind of twisted depraved extension of Fripp's guitar playing seemed impossible and mind warpingly cool. I Can't Read and Baby Universal alone made Tin Machine one of Bowie's best projects.
For some reason I always thought he was from England. Maybe the unusual name added to that. Cool to hear him, and talking about working with Bowie. Interesting guitar there too.
I saw Reeves play a run down club in Cincinnati my friend had taken over. Big club in the hood so not too many people there, around 2009. I wondered what the hell happened to him then.
Reeves is not the type of guitarist I would typically appreciate. Very technical and flashy for the most part but the stuff he’s been doing with the Cure is so tasteful and stripped down but with patches of fire here and there that make me sit up and notice.
This is "The voyeur of utter destruction (as beauty)". I think this insane version if from an "Outside" 1995 live at "FNAC", there's videos about this song on TH-cam ;-)
I really love a lot of Bowie songs, primarily from the 70s and 80s. The man was a great artist. However, I never liked Tin Machine. To me they had this super-band vibe going. Like it was very professional, but not that moving. For many years I thought of Bowie as a very foreward thinking artist, but the Tin Machine music just always seemed so dated, even back then.
Hey Margaret Cronin . It's probably because you don't fancy him. If he had big muscles you would "rate him". I know what makes most women tick. lol He is a true artins and guitar genius.
Reeves Gabrels has to be one of the most underrated guitarists.
Bowie's 50th B-day concert at Madson Square Garden.....Reeves' guitar on Scary Monsters is just unbelievable. Not many guys could produce a sonic attack like that.
I love his guitar sound...one of the best guitarist on the planet...
I would listen to Reeves Gabrels tell stories about working with David Bowie and the Cure for days on end.
Where did you have your chats?
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

@Griffin Nathan it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
I’ll never forget the first time I heard Reeves, it was Tin Machine - I Can’t Read. That really opened up my mind!

Tin Machine - one of the most underrated bands of the 90's if not ever. I am just learning to appreciate them for myself. Never to late.
Joe Hancock good to read there are a few of us. Still have the CD’s loaded in the home stereo.
I love both albums.
TM2 is phenomenal, full of hidden gems
Actually went to Japan to Discunion last year saw TM2 in SHM-CD kinda spendy, didn't really know what I was getting. Got home put it in my home stereo, and holy cow, does that sound simply amazing... my introduction to Tin Machine
@Peter May
I think that the albums are too different, I can not compare them but this is only in my opinion.
I like them both!
This guy helped save rock & roll for me.
That first Tin Machine album, released in the thick of all of that late-80’s butt-rock, was a breath of fresh-air.
Reverb working on that Bowie collaborators collection. Carlos Alomar ,Gail Ann Dorsey or Gerry Leonard would be great if you could speak with them.
Don't forget Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew!!
Video Crime & Amazing I still play to this date. BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Tin Machine was the best guitar work I had ever heard
Wish more Bowie fans would tune into Tin Machine. They really dont know what they are missing.
Love Tin Machine - totally underrated. If you like Bowie, go and listen to 'Prisoner of Love.'
The critics called Tin Machine everything from shit to fucking shit.
@@facethestrange15yearsago81 Indeed they did. The fools!
Amazing guitarist and musician. Really liked all his work with Bowie!
thanks to reverb for this high quality content
Thank you for being you, Mr. Dangus.
Love this guys style

1:40 "no song idea is bad" -- trying to start a fire

The Woman With No Head one day 90s Bowie will get the recognition it deserves
why has it taken this long for Reeves to be accepted as the iconoclast guitar god he truly is .

Priceless lessons :)
And no one was under pressure.
tin machine was such a good band live

TIN MACHINE!!!

Tin Machine is Bowie's best move msuically... Unpopular as it was - those two albums are STRONG>
I'll have to give them a listen. I didn't appreciate the music back then but I probably will now.
I saw Reeves play a run down club in Cincinnati my friend had taken over. Big club in the hood so not too many people there, around 2009. I wondered what the hell happened to him then.
Fantastic guitarist, up there with the best, if you played with Bowie that says it all.
I love that guitar. What model is that?
www.reverendguitars.com/guitars/reeves-gabrels-spacehawk
I have that guitar in that exact colour, it's a gem! Try one if you come across it :-)
No mention of the Sales bros?
BlackMan614 he worked with bowie even after tm
Very Good!!
OMG he could do those floyd rose whammy antics on a bigsby tremolo
To write songs with genius song writer Bowie? Could there be a greater honor in life?
Reeves is not the type of guitarist I would typically appreciate. Very technical and flashy for the most part but the stuff he’s been doing with the Cure is so tasteful and stripped down but with patches of fire here and there that make me sit up and notice.
That space hawk guitar needs to come home with me.....
I still can't open my copy of Black Star...
can anybody identify the song from 3:42 to 4:06?!?! sick video Reeves is the dude.
This is "The voyeur of utter destruction (as beauty)".
I think this insane version if from an "Outside" 1995 live at "FNAC", there's videos about this song on TH-cam ;-)
The Woman With No Head I can’t thank you enough!! Thanks so much for the help.

Dated as in dated with an expiration 100 years in the future
No, thats Roger taylor
Those Reverends may be tops, but they look like shit. Parkers are such a head trip on all levels: sonically, physically, emotionally, aesthetically
Tin Machine was awesome, Hours was awful.
Reeves looks so old! 😱😱😱
B G Why thank you. 😶
Reeves Gabrels and His Imaginary Friends
Well i think you look good. All the best to you.
Horrible Bowie albums
which ones?
rabit818 he played on outside which is one of Bowie’s best albums
With a Alabama song of Kurt Weil cover? Yea, that one of this. :)
Never rated this guy at all . . . . . . . never will
Your loss. He's gnarly.
@@justinreiland he's good, he let the coke take over his playing
Hey Margaret Cronin
