they'll kind of show themselves over time." Bowie and Gabrels re-recorded a few Tin Machine tracks during this time, including "I Can't Read" and "Baby Universal", with the former being released on the soundtrack to the movie The Ice Storm (1997) and both as a part of Bowie's posthumous Is It Any Wonder? (2020). By the end of the 20th century, Bowie looked back at his time with the band as invaluable, saying "I had to kick-start my engine again in music. There'd been a wobbly moment where I could quite easily have gone reclusive and just worked on visual stuff, paint and sculpt and all that. I had made a lot of money: I thought, well, I could just bugger off and do my Gauguin in Tahiti bit now. But then what do you do – re-emerge at 60 somewhere? So I look back on the Tin Machine years with great fondness. They charged me up. I can’t tell you how much." Despite some reports to the contrary, Bowie stated several times over his years with Tin Machine that he was happy working in the band. Bowie used his time with the band as a way to revitalize himself and his career, which he would later in March 1997 call a "lifeline", citing Reeves Gabrels as a source of his new-found energy and direction: Personnel David Bowie – lead vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, saxophone Reeves Gabrels – electric and acoustic guitars, backing vocals Tony Fox Sales – bass guitar, backing vocals Hunt Sales – drums, percussion, backing vocals Discography Studio albums Live albums Singles Other appearances Music videos Music video films Live concert films References See also List of musical supergroups Citations External links Tin Machine's live performance at the 1989 International Rock Awards (Youtube) British hard rock musical groups American hard rock musical groups Rock music supergroups Musical groups established in 1988 Musical groups disestablished in 1992 EMI Records artists David Bowie
