Tin Machine on neo-nazis and fascism
Tin Machine on neo-nazis and fascism
Delighted to discover that Reeves Gabrels has been a member of The Cure since 2012. And sitting here now listening to the excellent guitar on Songs Of A Lost World.
Calling out to the #BowieADay people who enjoyed his latter collaborations with Bowie, or who made the diversion into #TinMachine.

Spending some time with friends today. Tin Machine II (MOV reissue in turquoise) currently on the turntable. Have I mentioned this is my favourite Bowie period?
Given the way things are going, I think we should all listen to "Under The God" by Tin Machine

"Racism back in rule
White trash picking up Nazi flags
While you was gone, there was war
This is the West, get used to it
They put a swastika over the door"

Did not expect to find this when I wandered into the record store yesterday 🥹
Now I have an official quest to obtain a copy of the first album on LP
The pressing is a little quiet by necessity of it being a CD-era album crammed into a single LP, but it sounds fantastic #tinMachine #davidBowie #crateDigging
"You belong in rock and roll" by Tin Machine.
David Bowie's spin-off band were on their second album, promoted with spots on Wogan and BBC1's "Paramount City", whatever that was.
And a spot on next week's #TOTP, which brought complaints from the Éclair Protection Society.
Postscript: #ReevesGabrels was playing slide #guitar in “country-pop” band #RubberRodeo after their 1986 release produced by #DavidBowie collaborator Ken Scott (#music engineer on #SpaceOddity & #TheManWhoSoldTheWorld, producer on #HunkyDory, #ZiggyStardust, #AladdinSane).
So a different and less-#1980s-bombast version of #Bowie’s #NeverLetMeDown could have happened then!
Maybe critics wouldn’t have panned it so hard; maybe he wouldn’t have reacted with five years of #TinMachine. Maybe, maybe…
