Earl Slick (born Frank Madeloni in Staten Island, New York,1 October 
1952) is a guitarist best known for his collaborations with David Bowie,
 Jim Diamond and Robert Smith, although he has also worked with other 
artists (John Lennon: Double Fantasy, Milk and Honey, Yoko Ono), John 
Waite, and even released some solo recordings.
In
 the early 1970s, Earl Slick gained his reputation on New York music 
scene as a talented, skillful rock guitarist while playing in a band 
called Mack Truck featuring both singer/songwriter Jimmy Mack and his 
brother drummer Jack Mack. His work with Scottish singer/songwriter Jim 
Diamond was as the duo Slick Diamond. They did some tours and 
performances for a short time in the late 1970s.
Slick was initially 
hired by David Bowie to replace Mick Ronson as lead guitarist for the 
Diamond Dogs tour in 1974 (the live album David Live was culled from 
this tour). Slick also performed lead guitar on Bowie's Young Americans 
and Station To Station albums, released in 1975 and 1976 respectively. 
It was Slick's powerful playing that made the latter album's "Stay" an 
enduring favourite of fans of Bowie and of guitar heroics alike. After 
running afoul of Bowie's management, Slick was replaced as lead 
guitarist for the Station To Station tour (1976), his role being taken 
by Stacey Heydon. Slick then became a hired gun, working for Leo Sayer, 
Ian Hunter, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono. He also formed his own solo band.
Slick
 returned to Bowie for 1983's Serious Moonlight tour, to support the 
Let's Dance album. Ironically, Slick, who was ousted as lead guitarist 
from Bowie's 1976 tour, was the last-minute lead-guitarist replacement 
for Bowie's 1983 tour (substituting for Stevie Ray Vaughan).
