It's not that I agree about Tin Machine being a "grunge band" but I do hear a pretty strong influence of the genre in this song.

Nah. What I'm saying is that Tin Machine should never have been considered grunge. It's still Bowie's own despite the personna change that Bowie makes here with the Sales brothers. They also did a lot of work with older Iggy Pop stuff. This is definitely not grunge. Too much Bowie sound sound for that. But yourcomment was valid, because my comment invited that.

Tin Machine not grunge because Bowie wearing suit?Nirvana? :D

You know what I love about this story is that it's so random but back in the day in NYC anything or better yet anyone would just be walking around. Those guys were so not pretentious or big headed in any way. By the way, I got a Reuben that knocked my socks off!Mmmmmmm...Katz deli.

Great story! Wish something like that could have happened to me. I love Bowie and all his incarnations.

Tin Machine weren't grunge by any means (David Bowie is wearing suit - big clue). They dis have some intersting riffs, maybe more so than Bowie's ususal back-up, and they were largely underappreciated. They were a really good band, but they were always measured yp to Bowie's solo efforts.
