The crowd actually gasped in amazement as he took the stage... you wondered if it wasn't really Bowie himself. Everyone was leaving their seats and kicking up their platform heels to the sounds of chart-topping hits like Fame, China Girl, Let's Dance and Modern Love. What (Brighton and band) give is nothing short of the opportunity to go back in time." says The LA Review.

His stint as a sideman began with a phone call from Kevin Dubrow from Quiet Riot. Dubrow tapped David to replace the legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads.
