ARGH Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Im just going to dig out an old preBowie interview with her... She has been an amazing musician for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 bloody hell, her voice is awesome - strong and full and she holds the pitch by the scruff of the neck. She had a bit of a glitch getting over her second bridge though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] More important for me is that Freddie Mercury isn´t singing. His pseudo-opera approach was such a turn-off for me that I never realized what a good song that is. Killer singing and playing by Ms. Dorsey. Need to replay that one more time (at the risk of developing serious Stingray GAS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 That sounds great but why's she playing the bass line from "Ice Ice Baby"? I was a big Bowie fan up until the early 80s but I couldn't stand the original version with Queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I love her playing and voice (and am a huge Bowie fan anyway) but don't think I've seen that clip before so thanks for posting it. And just for SOulfinger, some more Stingray GAS inducing footage of Ms Dorsey with many close ups ( and one of my fave bizarro guitarists, Reeves Gabrels)...

Gabrels is awesome, though - who else would have thought of playing a chrome-plated Steinberger guitar with a vibrator..? He's been quiet for a few years due to illness, but he's on the way back.

MB1 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 MB1. Gail Anne Dorsey was a solo artist in her own right before she joined Mr Bowie,check out her album The Corporate World featuring the single Wasted Country.Whos got a lovely white stingray then?

Alun Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 The funny thing with her solo albums is that she didn't play much bass. In fairness though she did get Nathan East so the bass doesn't really suffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great gig to have .. Gail Ann Dorsey is brilliant and has been in Bowie's band for years now which says something in itself. And IMHO, amongst all the technical, slightly overblown guitar histrionics of Belew, Earl Slick etc, she brings something different to the party for an artist like Bowie in that she's really cool and very funky.. Have always enjoyed her playing too because she plays the song, which is what really matters at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxblood Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Reminded me of HS too at first, but the longer I listened, the more I realised that she leaves that one-note honker drowning in her wake. Next to Dorsey, HS sounds like bleedin' foghorn. What a range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No you aren't serious, hence the wink! I knew she did backing vox but I just wasn't aware that she did lead vocals, stunning. Glitch! that's not a glitch, in our band that'd be called... 'jazz'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Gave me goosebumps I've known of her for a while! And i knew she sang, but didn't know she did it so well!!! Thanks for the vid!! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
