Arnold Corns

Arnold Corns was a band formed by David Bowie in 1971. Bowie played on the guitar and did most of the vocals, although his costume designer Freddi Burretti was considered as a lead vocalist. Mick Ronson on guitar, Trevor Bolder on bass, Mick Woodmansey on drums and Mark Carr Pritchard on guitar, Arnold Corns was one of Bowie’s side projects at the time, and something of a dry run for Ziggy Stardust.

This collaboration released three tracks - early versions of "Moonage Daydream" and "Hang Onto Yourself", and the song "Man in the Middle". The name "Arnold Corns" was inspired by Bowie's favourite Pink Floyd song, "Arnold Layne".
