DAVE “BUCKET” COLWELL

(Humble Pie)

AFTER LIGHTS Mott the Hoople, All the Young Dudes GUITARIST: MICK RALPHS

“The phrasing and construction build the tension. And the tone he strangles from a Les Paul Junior and Sunn amp, à la Leslie West, through an Echoplex, I believe. It still makes the hairs on my arms stand up.”

MR. BIG Free, Free Live! GUITARIST: PAUL KOSSOFF

“It just keeps building in intensity, with the added bonus of Andy Fraser’s bass solo at the end.”

ONCE BITTEN, TWICE SHY Ian Hunter, Ian Hunter GUITARIST: MICK RONSON

“Mick Ronson’s solo just explodes with screaming feedback and wah! It’s real rock and roll guitar playing.”
