It is a fascinating fuck-up. There are some spots where it's really cool and interesting. I've always wondered what the world would be like if SRV and Bowie kept collaborating after Let's Dance. Would David have stayed straight Rock/Roll for a while, or at least the sort of pop that he had with Let's Dance?
Maybe no, it seems. This little version of LOM? is deese, but I like it better than some others for some retarded reasons:
- Bowie forgets the lyrics. He dee dee dees it. I forget lyrics a lot. Points.
- Then they disrupt the recording to "fix" it. No points.
- SRV's guitar flourishes make the song rock a little hard, a little more Queen-y. Points.
- But sometimes it's indulgent booshit. No points.
Steal the rest from the internet if you're that curious, but I'm not twisting your arm on this one.
