I just re-visited Diamond Dogs on a cassette in the car on a ride where I got to hear it end to end. When I first listened to it Sweet Thing was just a bridge from Diamond Dogs to Rebel...but now that is - together with Candidate and the Sweet Thing Reprise - the best part of the album to me. LM said something about the pacing and style, and I could not agree more.
I tried to imagine creating/executing a song like it and it just would never occur to me. The sax is his best I think. Very soulful, emotive song. And the end of Sweet Thing Reprise is a wonderful chaotic noisy intro to Rebel Rebel. It fucking rocks!
I agree that his guitar is chaotic and feral and "fucking rocks." Arguably the best bit. The song is great, love the album, don't get me wrong, but that guitar right there! Wow!

@coo2kachoo We can thank the \'motoric\' NEU influence for that deranged guitar outro on Reprise. It certainly piqued my interest in them - and they\'re GREAT
