Tin Machine was the result of David Bowie's "I don't want to be a star; I just want to be one of the guys in the band" phase. It was a noisy, intentionally unrefined, and somewhat unpopular four-man group: David Bowie, Reeves Gabrels, and Hunt and Tony Sales, who Bowie had worked with way back when he was writing and touring with Iggy Pop in the mid-'70s. While Tin Machine only lasted for a short time (recording only two studio albums and one live album), it was the beginning of a 13-year working relationship with guitarist Reeves Gabrels.
