“Mick Ronson’s tone during
this era is still one of my
favorites. His Marshall 200
watt ‘Pig,’ Tone Bender
and Les Paul combination is
pure magic. Hearing ‘Width
of a Circle’ and ‘Moonage
Daydream’ for the first time
blew my mind. Ronson was
another tasteful player who
knew when to hold back and
when to unleash himself.”

Rust Never Sleeps
“The electric side of
this album showed me
a destructive guitar sound
while the acoustic side
showed me beautiful
songwriting. It was years
later that I learned that
Neil’s tone was not from
a fuzz but a little old
tube amp on the verge
of bursting into flames.”
