  • On this Carlos Alomar interview, meeting David Bowie, and why he left Bowie… growing up with a father who was a Pentecostal minister and the wisdom & openness Carlos gleaned from this relationship… working with Chuck Berry, Iggy Pop (and his incredible power), Mick Jagger, Gloria Gaynor and others… thing he’s proudest of, why you should never “Disturb the groove,” thinking like 3 guitar players, not one… golf, Greece, puppets, smiling, and why, “If you can’t explain it, you can’t defend it!” One of the smartest performers and most naturally happy people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, this is a MUST listen!

    When I was 16 I saw Bowie at the civic Arena Pittsburg in 78 and was greeted at the gate by Dennis Davis Carlos Alomar and Simon House.during the intermission Carlos and most of the band stepped off the stage and mingled with the crowd. I wish I wasn't so shy back then...this man
    has always been a beacon of light and goodness is radiating from him.

  • @josjanssen6733

    My first experience with Alomar was when i watched Bowie and his band at the German "Musikladen" performing "Stay". There was this great guy Adrian Belew stealing the show that made my musical heart sit up and jump with joy. So much fun. And later in the song, it began to dawn on me that my joy was really coming from the great "groove" that was the basis. I started looking at Mssrs Davis, Murray and Alomar. They were more in the back. But really carrying the event! It taught me to look beyond the obvious in music. I began to explore David Bowie's albums. And slowly began to realise how Carlos Alomar was the genius in the back. And now i see the interview. What a giant!

    I got a phone call from Carlos around 1989, asking me to go on tour for 6 weeks in Australia with Debbie Gibson as her opening act's guitar player-Tiffany, lol.
    At the time, I was a bar-band guitar player in South Mississippi. I asked him why he was calling me, I was nobody-he told me I was highly recommended. Never found out by who.
    That's when I found out that opening acts aren't miked, you have to go straight off the stage, and all I had was a Carvin X-Amp combo, which I could never get past 2 on the master volume because it was so freaking LOUD-I told him it would peel the paint off of cars, but he said it wouldn't push enough air, and there was no budget for a rental.
    So he passed on me, because of that-but it was still a great experience to find out that people had noticed me on that level.
    Nice guy, but all business. He's a major player in the industry-kind of like Quincy Jones, or Nile Rodgers. At that time, I just knew he was David Bowie's guitar player.

    For the longest time I thought the genius behind the Fame guitar riff was Stevie Ray Vaughan, probably because SRV was involved with Bowie during "Let's Dance" era. But sudden revelation like this are priceless and mind blowing. Bowie obviously hit the jackpot when meeting Carlos. I was too young when the phenomenal Diamond Dogs tour landed in Philly. Thanks to the double LP "David Live at the Tower Philadelphia" I instantly became a Bowie life time fan. He chose the best of the best, gotta love that! Awesome interview.. thanks!

      I love this song so much but couldn't find any info about it and I'm hoping somebody who worked with her dad will encourage her because the song should have been a pretty big alternative music hit ... it's very retro it reminds me of some of the music from the 80s and early 90s .
      It's a very chill song ; earthy , warm and breezy .

    I heard an interview with Ray Parker (Ghostbusters) that had a similar quality. That is, he was playing in bands since he was 14, and was earning more money than both his parents combined by the time he was 15. If you haven't already interviewed him, he would be another that brings that quality of music awareness and appreciation to the public.

When they were in the USA for the recording, Carlos Alomar composed and produced the song that Mick Jagger made famous "She is the Boss" (I don´t know if he produced the LP too) - apparently Carlos´wife was a robust woman hence the song´s name -. Well, the bassist asked Mr. Alomar why did not sing himself the song for a solo album, and he replied "When I sing it, I cannot sell it for more than 1.000 dollars, and when I sell it to Mick, I become millions!"

    I've seen them all and Carlos was one of the very best on a sophisticated NYC level. Thanks for this great interview, it's a proof of his genius. Reminds me of the intellect of The Duke with the talent of Willie the Lion. The only true master that is still with us from the golden era of Rock and roll and he's aging like a Taoist immortal.
    That was the best music interview I've ever watched - I'm Alomar's age and grew up in Hollywood - I know music, but he's a master.

      Give me the impression he's probably in the other interesting things and I could picture him watching that show that used to come on years ago with Action Bronson and his friends getting all smoked up and eating food while watching Ancient Aliens haha .

    Fantastic interview of a very talented musician ! Love Carlos’ work with Bowie and others. One correction, he did not play on Man Who Sold The World/Watch That Man by Lulu which was recorded before they met. Mick Ronson & most of Spiders played on it. He must of been thinking of ‘Can You Hear Me’ which he played guitar on for Lulu. Best thing about him is his long lasting marriage to Robin !

    Carlos played the station to station 'isolar' tour with lead guitarist Stacey Heydon, Canadian. Talk about overlooked musicians.In the book 'Starman' by Paul Trynka. Trynka calls his book the DEFINITIVE biography. But forgot to mention Heydon at all. 400 pages. Hedyon is not even mentioned in the appendix. Hope Carlos can help you find Heydon!!
